Ben Carson Likens Islamic State To American Patriots

[Statistikhengst]

We need more thread on the exact same topic

Well, ok, snookums.

Now, what do you think of FOX's headline?

 

[Statistikhengst]

.

Yeah, this guy has the potential for some real gems.

.

Carson is like the Maid of Honor in an ugly dress. It's his job to make the Bride (Jeb) look prettier.

Oh, that was a distubing visual...

YOu have a point. Nova Steve probably went nuts even thinking about that!!!

 

[Votto]

What does it matter?

Both parties will wind up giving us the exact same things.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The point Ben made was they were dedicated to their core beliefs, I think that's valid. He should have said that American Progressives are equally as dedicated and for the exact same wrong reasons

 

[CrusaderFrank]

As usual, dr Carson said nothing wrong. Libs tend to project.

Muslim Terrorists = Founding Fathers? So glad you agree.

That's not what he said, but keep lying, on you it looks good

 

[Geaux4it]

.

Yeah, this guy has the potential for some real gems.

.

Oh, I'm cool with that.

The point is: that FOX headline is something we expect to see them publish over a potentional Democratic candidate, not a Republican....

Is 'we' the liberal left?

[Votto]

The media typically destroys outsiders. Both Fox and CNN are notorious for this.

 

[Iceweasel]

I heard Carson say he wasn't a Republican. So that makes it a little unlikely he'll get the Republican nomination, fox or no fox.

The point Ben made was they were dedicated to their core beliefs, I think that's valid. He should have said that American Progressives are equally as dedicated and for the exact same wrong reasons

Oh, I agree with you that this is what Ben Carson intended.

So, why is FOX making a bruhahaha about it? Why the headline that will cast doubt upon him? Why?


Hmmmmmmmm..................................

CORONADO, Calif. (AP) — Republican presidential prospect Ben Carson on Thursday compared the Islamic State group to American patriots willing to die for freedom.

In a speech to the Republican National Committee's winter meeting outside San Diego, the former neurosurgeon and conservative favorite praised American patriots for their willingness to give their lives for their beliefs. Then he mentioned the Islamic State group.

"They got the wrong philosophy, but they're willing to die for what they believe, while we are busily giving away every belief and every value for the sake of political correctness," he said as Republican officials from across the country interrupted him with applause. "We have to change that."

Commonly known as ISIS, the Islamic State group has been responsible for hundreds of deaths across the Middle East in recent months. Islamic State militants claimed responsibility for recent beheadings of Western journalists and aid workers. One of the suspects in the recent Paris terror attacks claimed allegiance to the Islamic State group.

A Republican National Committee spokesman had no immediate response when asked to comment on Carson's remarks, which came as part of a 35-minute luncheon address.

Well, this should certainly get ole Ben a lot of rightwing votes. Go Ben!

Poor Ben, he tells something like the truth and suddenly he's no longer the Chosen Token anymore. I guess it's Mia Love 2016 eh?

Poor PMN, the '14 shellacking drove him to Thelma and Louise what little was left of his sanity

You mean the election lose that was entirely expected? Yeah, that concerned me, never.

Yeah, sure.

I believe ya

"we" = people. You know, homo sapiens. Are YOU a homo sapiens? You should be...

And where did you hear this?

Rut-roh! Fox news already going after Ben Carson... guess someone upstairs doesn't like him so much....

Presidential prospect Ben Carson makes questionable comparison Fox News

Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson compared the Islamic State terrorist group to American patriots willing to die for freedom.

Carson praised Americans who are willing to die for their beliefs at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting outside San Diego Thursday.

Carson then mentions ISIS.

"They got the wrong philosophy, but they're willing to die for what they believe, while we are busily giving away every belief and every value for the sake of political correctness," he said as Republican officials from across the country interrupted him with applause. "We have to change that."

Commonly known as ISIS, the Islamic State group has been responsible for hundreds of deaths across the Middle East in recent months. Islamic State militants claimed responsibility for recent beheadings of Western journalists and aid workers. One of the suspects in the recent Paris terror attacks claimed allegiance to the Islamic State group.

Carson defended his comments saying it is "ridiculous" to say he was comparing American patriots to the Islamic State.

So, who told FOX to pull the plug on Carson?

Fox news is hardcore war establishment. Making such a comparison, even from a republican, is going to draw controversy. There is no room on Fox for questioning American Patriotism or exceptionalism. None.

That's why Carson is being called out. It's not that his comparison isn't without merit. In fact, it has some and THAT is the real problem.

 

[TakeAStepBack]

It would be like a pundit slamming Obama harshly for his war crimes on MSNBC. They will attack you for doing that.

Well, I guess there is a little homo in everyone.

Again, I need to revisit previous thought on this.....

[TyroneSlothrop]

The media is there to serve as stenographers to the powerful and any attempt to provide context will be seen as a "thought crime" and the wages of sin is death which does pay overtime....

 

[Geaux4it]

I say its a false flag. Getting Uncle Ben attention?

BTW- I do like his comments about patriots

I have no idea. I don't watch the news, I don't listen to talk radio.

So, who told FOX to pull the plug on Carson?

So should Fox ignore the story the way NBC and others are ignoring stories like Obama releasing terrorists from GITMO into Arab society?

I didn't even see a quote discussing it, so who knows what he really said.
