Wow, that shows what liberals really think of blacks.

Can someone check up on Carson's degrees because I think we have another S. Palin on our hands. I beginning to wonder if he got those degrees out of a Captain Crunch cereal box.

The man had an incredible career and liberals figure he was just faking through that brain surgery at John Hopkins. Just another dumb n*.

Makes sense but I think there still had to have been some cheating..........maybe some affirmative action grading. His bat is very, very slow.

>> Carson thinks President Obama is a “ psychopath,” the Supreme Court may not deserve the power of judicial review, the unemployment rate is a big ruse orchestrated by “slick politicians and biased media,” and raising taxes on the poor is fine – it may be “ condescending” not to. I questioned the "psychopath" comment when I heard it then went and carefully read the definition of psychopath: The triarchic model, formulated by Christopher J. Patrick et al., suggests that different conceptions of psychopathy emphasize three observable characteristics to varying degrees. Analyses have been made with respect to the applicability of measurement tools such as the Psychopathy Checklist (PCL, PCL-R) and Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI) to this model.[1][7] Boldness. Low fear including stress-tolerance, toleration of unfamiliarity and danger, and high self-confidence and social assertiveness. The PCL-R measures this relatively poorly and mainly through Facet 1 of Factor 1. Similar to PPI Fearless dominance. May correspond to differences in the amygdala and other neurological systems associated with fear.[1][7] Disinhibition. Poor impulse control including problems with planning and foresight, lacking affect and urge control, demand for immediate gratification, and poor behavioral restraints. Similar to PCL-R Factor 2 and PPI Impulsive antisociality. May correspond to impairments in frontal lobe systems that are involved in such control.[1][7] Meanness. Lacking empathy and close attachments with others, disdain of close attachments, use of cruelty to gain empowerment, exploitative tendencies, defiance of authority, and destructive excitement seeking. The PCL-R in general is related to this but in particular some elements in Factor 1. Similar to PPI Coldheartedness but also includes elements of subscales in Impulsive antisociality. Meanness may possibly be caused by either high boldness or high disinhibition combined with an adverse environment. A child with high boldness may respond poorly to punishment but may respond better to rewards and secure attachments which may not be available under adverse conditions. A child with high disinhibition may have increased problems under adverse conditions with meanness developing in response.[1][7] I actually think this description fits him almost perfectly. I would question the characterization as "fearless" but can see how ignorance could be a substitute.

>> He also sat down with CNBC’s John Harwood, and made some bizarre comments about marriage equality, which left Harwood saying, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” I recommend you actually WATCH the interview rather than listening to this idiot Benen. Carson was clear; Harwood was either being ridiculous or stupid. It was perfectly apparent what Carson was referring to and Harwood was trying to create news.
