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?

"We have begun to compromise our morals by restricting our thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and viewpoints, and letting new norms take their place."
Nope. Everyone is still free to say whatever they want. No one gets thrown in jail.
The fact that OTHERS are free to respond in whatever way THEY choose underscores the fact that freedom of speech is alive and well.
If you think a person should be able to say whatever they want and that others are NOT free to respond with their opinion, then you have a very warped view of what "Freedom of Speech" really is.
Native Americans agree with Ben!
So we should expect your vote for the only black man running?... Or are you lip locked to whatever DemocRAT is running?

I'd vote for Charles Manson before I'd vote for a fucking NaziCon. I used to vote more Republican than Democrat - but Reagan ended that.
CrusaderFrankLMAO. He's toast. You might as well admit it. Jebbie is the only credible candidate you nutters have to put forward. The primary season is going to be awesome!You sound like a lunatic. Do you also admire ISIS like Carson appears to do?Unlike the State Run Medias handling of Democrats, Fox holds Republicans accountable.
Crazy Uncle Joe Biden is half a pedophile and no one says a peep. Can you imagine the outcry if Dick Cheney went Aqualung on some little girl? Can you imagine the outcry if Jeb Bush met his chief fund raiser on Lolita Island 27 different times to tap some underage pussy? Liz Warren is certifiable and based her entire adult life on a known lie but instead of being shamed into retirement she's going to end up being the Dem Nominee in 2016.
I read the quote, he doesn't admire ISIS, you have to be a fucking illiterate to read it that way
Be fun watching Hillary's concession speech

Muslim Terrorists = Founding Fathers? So glad you agree.As usual, dr Carson said nothing wrong. Libs tend to project.
Not what he said, Jake
Find a grown up to read this to you, ""A bunch of rag tag militiamen defeated the most powerful and professional military force on the planet. Why? Because they believed in what they were doing. Fast forward to today. What do we have? You've got ISIS. They've got the wrong philosophy, but they're willing to die for it while we are busily giving away every belief and every value for the sake of political correctness."

You can't go to jail because Political Correctness is not a law and because its is not a law, you should not be able to get fired from you job over it.
10 Ridiculous Cases of Political Correctness - Listverse
None of us expect a life where we will never be offended or sheltered from conflict or hurt feelings. However, many self-appointed saviors are trying to make this a reality, through aggressive speech codes, legal rulings and corporate policies. Political Correctness (PC) originally flowered in academia and spread like a virus through the government and corporate worlds. It has devolved into a tyranny of the most offended person in the room. PC complaints now range from the sublime to the ridiculous, and they are stifling the honest assessment, and debate, of issues in our lives. The following ten cases of Political Correctness “progress” range from silly to troubling to genuinely disturbing.

Um, yeah, figures you are taking it out of context.
He's saying Isis is willing to fight what they believe while we blithely give up our freedoms without a whimper.
Of course a liberal would deliberately twist that, rather than deal with the truth of the statement.
Oh please continue. ..Progressives are willing to lie, cheat, steal, and commit fraud to get their values into our laws and oppress us.The point Ben made was that Jihadists are willing to fight for their values while in America, Progressives continue to be the only people willing to fight for their values: the continued undermining and demolition of the USA
Exactly. Why do people not understand this? I can only imagine because they believe a lot of the nonsense that politicians tell them to believe."We have begun to compromise our morals by restricting our thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and viewpoints, and letting new norms take their place."

The guy who signs your check is the guy who should decide if your mouth is a detriment to his company or not.
You don't have a "right" to work wherever you want.
Free speech doesn't mean "speech without consequence." Never has - never should.
Free speech GOES BOTH WAYS or you do not have freedom of speech.
Excuse me, but did you just accuse the VP of pedophilia? Really?Unlike the State Run Medias handling of Democrats, Fox holds Republicans accountable.
Crazy Uncle Joe Biden is half a pedophile and no one says a peep. Can you imagine the outcry if Dick Cheney went Aqualung on some little girl?

Had a lib given props to ISIS, righties would be collectively screaming "traitor" until their heads explode.I guess. I wonder if the Republicans are signalling their support for ISIS or signalling that they will die to rid the world of PCism."he said as Republican officials from across the country interrupted him with applause."
Wow. Republican officials applauded him for comparing ISIS to our revolution?
apparently the invisible 'PC' beast is just way too terrifying for the GOP...
"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,"
i thinks it sounds like a call to arms over the evil 'PC'!Maybe but I really don't see much difference than if he had said, At least Stalin stood up for his beliefs and killed all those people that were against him, or At least Hitler wasn't cowed by PC Jewishness.
giving props to ISIS is lost on lemmings who will evidently applaud anything in the context of the invisible PC boogieman...

Why? Because of the French.
As for ISIS. They want to die for it. After of course killing a few infidels. So fuck Carson and ISIS anyway, we have cartoonist willing to die for their cartoons.
You are still not understanding why I made this thread. In terms of Dr. Carson's likely intentions, I agree with you, mudwhistle and crusaderfrank. But why did Fox, a virulently right leaning outlet, decide to do a hit-job on one of their own? I see NOTHING controversial in what Dr. Carson said, but Fox even put the word "controversial" in the title.....You sound like a lunatic. Do you also admire ISIS like Carson appears to do?Unlike the State Run Medias handling of Democrats, Fox holds Republicans accountable.

he said well at least THEY are willing to die for THEIR beliefs while WE cower to the 'PC'...
it was a very dumb thing to say... don't fall for the PC boogieman... THINK!
