GOP Ben Carson - "poison same sex wedding cakes"

[TempestTS]

Here's the test: imagine how you'd reply if Obama had said it.

If Obama said it Id probably be even more upset and disappointed and wouldnt be shy about my feelings about that....

A douche-bag Politician is a Douche-bag Politician - regardless of party or skin color

Case in point current NC Democratic chair Patsy Keever who called a trans candidate "A Man" to a public assembly --- also qualifies for being a Fucktard in my book http://lexiecannes.com/2015/01/21/tr...emocrat-forum/

the number of fucks I could give about skin color can be counted below...

Republican Ben Carson ‘jokes’ about poisoning same-sex wedding cakes


Douche bag of the day ==> Ben Carson



If a normal person made a comment about poisoning wedding cakes on social media they would be dragged in by the cops inside of 24 hours for making a Terrorist Threat- but this GOP fucktard says it to national media and is running for office and hardly anyone raises an eyebrow



WTF - Seriously - WTF

It's sad, fucked up, and really just ridiculous that this is the year 2015. But no one would be brought in by the cops for it because it's not a specific threat. The same reason that it doesn't violate free speech.

But, yes, he's a fucktard.

Indeed so would I. The point to Donkey was that he'd be all over Obama had made such inane remarks, but he's not all over Carson. Hmmm wonder why?

Yes, Patsey Keever's on my shit list for the reasons you cite; as is Sheldon Silver of NY (see Fred's post http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/sho...4&postcount=49 ) even though I'm a registered democrat and (though I'm not all that familiar with NY State political issues) I probably agree with his notions on school reform (and disagree with Cuomo's).

Amen, sister.

No one ??? you mean like this 17 yo kid who used cartoon emoji-cons in a non specific way?

Freedom of speech ?? - not unless your rich and a politician apparently.

Posting a cop emoji followed by three gun emojis then saying "N---- run up on me, he gunna get blown down." is pretty darn specific in my book. Freedom of speech is not absolute and I'd liken this to shouting Fire! in a crowded theater.

I'd also advocate arresting Carson as well but all that would do is enhance his standing with the Teabaggers, making him a martyr in their distorted world view.

I read it as a warning not to try to force someone to do something they do not want to because they might cause you harm. Not as him making a joke, but a warning. Seems like a good suggestion. I always voice my opinion about businesses with my wallet, if I do not like their position on something, I do not shop there.

Its no different than the original revolutionary flag which clearly stated dont tread on me with the image of a snake - still not a specific threat -

in this case a dumb ass 17 yo kid talking shit and your comparision to yelling fire in a crowded theater is invalid - he didnt say or distribute that statment to a room crowded with cops - he mouthed off on facebook ...

Im not saying the Kid isnt a moron for trying to act like a thug in a public way but its not against the law

Likewise I dont call for the Ben Carson to be arrested but I think its despicable for a potential leader to infer that it seems reasonable that someone may poison a cake of someone they disagree with. My problem is his thought process or lack there of...

I think Carson knows what he's doing. He is riling up simple minded people in the hope one of them is crazy enough to do it. It's called "Stochastic Terrorism".

TempestTS, I take it you didn't actually read the comment. I did. Here's what he said:

"So they can go right down the street and buy a cake, but no, let’s bring a suit against this person because I want them to make my cake even though they don’t believe in it… Which is really not all that smart because they might put poison in that cake.”

After reading the actual comment, it seems to me this is much ado about nothing. Just an opportunity to attack a black man who has decided to step off the plantation.

Assuming that Black Americans exist on this metaphorical 'plantation' is the HEIGHT of racism, and probably why it's one of the GOP's favorite catch phrases.

The overwhelming number of people who receive gratis federal aid and sweetheart government contracts are WHITE PEOPLE, and I'm not just talking about welfare.

So which group is really suckling at Uncle Sam's tits but calling everyone else freeloaders??


Ben Carson is a nutcase, which is sad to say because his personal story so incredible.

He's a bigoted, closeminded, backwards thinking, Conservative showdog who will only get to the WH if he stands in line as a tourist.

I don't know the time frame...but according to the cited news article, he also posted a pic with him having a handgun in his waist band. I would definitely say that makes it different.
