    When Donald freaking Trump suggests that Carson has been the victim of a targeted media attack...and HOPES that he can get out on top...you know that BS that was pulled on him last week was beyond normal vetting processes. It was an all out campaign to "sully an unsullied..." I thought the republican media attacks on Obama about his "birth certificate" was bad and just plain idiotic. Fox news and her cronies of irresponsible reporting went too far... But even that wasnt as tough as what happened in a span of a week to Carson... If Carson is NO such threat, why even bother with him? Why are they seeking to tarnish his reputation?

    One of two things have to be the case...either Carson is a brilliant, pathological liar/con-man OR the media has sent their dogs out to rip the guy's story and persona to shreds. I have an idea that the latter is more plausible, and it seems that the voting American public does as well.

    I shall avoid responding to your personal attacks about by "age" or my "life-choice" abilities...since it is irrelevant to what is being talked about here.

    Questioning Obama's citizenship and his allegence to this nation by calling a secret Muslim terrorist sympathizer is definitely more benign than then attacks on Ben Carson.


    Wait... You are actually serious. You are bat **** insane.

    Why make the assumption that Ben isn't a liar?

    It seems more like wishful thinking on your part. Since Ben Carson has absolutely zero chance in a general election, Occam's razor suggests that it is more likely that the calling out by the 'liberal media' of him lying is warranted rather than the media having an agenda to take down Carson because he poses some threat in a general election against Hillary. If it was someone like Rubio who has a significantly better chance in a general election, then your speculation would have some merit.

    Anyone who thinks that the attacks on Obama's character, especially his allegence to this country because he has a Muslim father, is benign compared to poor old Ben Carson's character defamation is an idiot. It's really is that simple.

    Nah, it's not him being a threat to Hillary, it's just the fact that he's a black conservative. The left ALWAYS crucifies any black person that isn't a Democrat, it's just how it is. What else do you expect from the party of slavery and segregation?

    Yeah. that's what happens and why.

    It was all the left that crucified Carson. It wasn't that he spouted off crazy ideas, and things that were blatantly untrue and inaccurate.

    It wasn't Carson's doing, it was all the crucifiers on the left.

    Aren't you just precious. Completely ignoring the outstanding likelihood that it's opposition research coming from his primary competition finding these gems about Carson and blaming the Democrats is just so cute.

    Sorry but any Clinton supporters trying to point out others' lies is just too funny.

    What an ignorant post. My goodness.

    I mean, we all know your disdain for certain demographics, but why are you spinning the race-baiting gig another direction? The left didn't have to crush (I'll stay away from a religion-baiting term that you used) Carson. He did it to himself. Is it possible that race has nothing to do with this? Is it possible that Ben forgot to anticipate the scrutiny of his past, including his own writing?

    The majority of us aren't concerned with Ben, but it's not because of any racial factors. We're just not worried about a candidate without experience, plausible solutions and unrealistic, mildly-moronic ideas about current and future issues.

    There isn't a party of "slavery and segregation," champ. That's just desperation and race-baiting propaganda from your ears to your keyboard. I wouldn't even call the Republican Party the same words you used, not because of you, but because it's inaccurate, hateful and the tired-thinking of only the fringe.

    Funny that the Wall Street Journal and National Review are part of the left now.

    Oh, you must be playing "Let's Live in the Past: A Game of Propaganda and Trolling."

    In hindsight, I think the majority of Americans would take personal marital problems with Bill and Hillary over the infinite failures of George W. any day of the week. Well, actually, I'm sure you would defend the honor of one of your heroes, just to get the ol' Troll juice flowing.

    Are you bothered by Carson's self-destruction, or are you just bitter that your party of choice cannot find a viable, electable candidate? I guess I have to give W. credit for staying in the lines during his campaign and finding a way to the White House. There isn't a single Republican candidate that comes remotely close to the likes of W., Mitt, McCain, etc...

    I guess I might be a little upset, too.

    Just doing my part and playing along with your game of stirring the pot of irrelevant, unfounded beliefs.

    Please be specific in your accusation and point out Ms Clinton's "lies".

    Of course you're upset, you know deep down....even if you don't want to admit it, that there's a lot of truth in what I said. Look at every black conservative that dared to show their face on a national stage. Same story.

    Colin Powell only recently got a bit of acceptance because he bent the knee and told the public that he voted for Obama. Before that all manner of vile things were said about him by the left.

    Sometimes I think bigotexxx is a DNC plant just to make Republicans look like schmucks but then I think... nobody over there is that brilliant.
