Did you know who are the most racist racists in the racist history of racist racism? That would be you, redsnouts.
Dr. Ben Carson on Tuesday blasted his critics for heat he’s taken recently over controversial remarks on gay marriage, calling his white liberal detractors “the most racist out there.”
“They want to shut us up completely, and that’s why the attacks against me have been so vicious,” Carson said on the Mark Levin radio show. “I represent an existential threat to them. They need to shut me up, they need to get rid of me, they can’t find anything else to delegitimize me, so they take my words, misinterpret them, and try to make it seem that I’m a bigot.”
Because when you say something bigoted, it's dirty pool to quote it?
Levin said Carson was being targeted for his race.
“You’re attacked also in many respects because of your race,” Levin said. “You’re not supposed to talk like this, and a lot of white liberals just don’t like it, do they?”
“They’re the most racist people there are because they put you in a little category, a box,” Carson responded. “How could you dare come off the plantation?”
The manner in which Dr. Carson is an "existential threat" to anyone is Shrouded in Mystery. In politics, to be effective you need a constituency. Carson's constituency is people like Mark Levin who are angry that people of Carson's skin pigmentation don't want to get rid of Medicare.
We here on the Left realize that Alan West, that pizza guy who was in the primaries, Keyes, and the other total non-tokens squawking in the Townhall Columnist Rubble, have totally been swaying elections for you forever, world without end, amen.
Indeed, I quite respect Dr. Carson for what he has done in his field, and I rather hope for his sake someone close to him can intervene and make him stop talking to people like Mark Levin, because he's making an ass of himself.
Because if the Civil Rights struggle winds down to "yelling about gay marriage and NAMBLA," really? Really?
I don't think so.
MAS. Gah, others disagree. Dr. Carson will continue to shout in public about NAMBLA, and if History is kind, it will note that after he retired, "he said things that were beneath him."
I, of course, will call him a "fuckface," but in certain regards, I am not History.
