Three pages, and everyone's so busy with partisan bickering, no one's thought to add: I hope Carson and Trump stay safe.
What a pathetic publicity stunt. To have people want to assassinate you means you are a threat to someone, or very important and effective. Ben Carson is none of these. Why would anyone bother to assassinate him? He is a in-way-over-his-head presidential candidate that only a moron would support. Not even worth the thought of assassination. I call BS.
Oh, just be an adult and tell us exactly whom you mean. Your first sentence was: So.... - - - Updated - - - I hope this as well. Regardless of political orientation, I never wish ill on any political candidate or party. It's part of being American, imo.
It is pathetic, isn't it? There are NO stories about this anywhere EXCEPT on NoiseMax. I'm sure Carlson will see that his bud at Daily Baller get in on the act, and I'm sure a few other right trash blogs will parrot it as well. Fox Noise may promote the story by citing "reports by" various unreliable and unvetted sources, as they frequently do. Then, the Secret Service will issue the denial, which will set off a new round of right wing chest pounding about how liberals hate a black conservative, even one who is so clearly unqualified for the office he's making a show of running for.
Thank you. Carson is polling about 21% of Republican voters now. That is a healthy number, but hardly overwhelming considering it is just a fraction of the party that lost the last two presidential elections. The skinheads, survivalists or just plain radical right wing nutters in this country are most definitely NOT Carson supporters, and for the same reason they despise Obama - they're both black. I am not at all surprised Carson needs SS protection, also hope and pray nothing happens to him while he's still in the race.
Yeah and if you took the time to read the rest of the sentences you wouldnt be making yourself look foolish by pondering who I was talking about.
Can you say 'cognitive dissonance'? Did you or did not watch the Dem debate? No shame if you didn't; just say so.
No. You couched your words so carefully that one would not really know exactly whom you mean. Interesting. Are you trying to say to me that you do not know exactly whom you mean?
So, what you are saying is that the "radical left" is well over half of the voters in this country? Golly. I never knew that. Or maybe, from where you are on the political spectrum, anyone even slightly left of center looks like a radical? Hmmm?
Well, after point blank asking you if you watched the Dem debate, and getting nothing but off-the-wall answers, I'll jump to a conclusion or two:" You didn't watch it. You never read any coherent reporting about it. You have no idea of the issues the adults finally discussed. Your loss.
I didnt watch the Republican debate either.. I get most of my news from CNN.. Do you have an issue with them? Are they "coherent" Jebidiah. Or should i call you Karma?
LOL, democrats don't have to worry about black republicans running for president for the simple fact the Republican Party will never elect a black man as the nominee. Just ask Herman Cain.
The notion that Conservatives want to "strip" government is, intentionally or not, somewhat misleading. You also forwarded your point saying; "isn't the above reasoning what anti-big government [types] would use", to oppose SS protection for some candidates, again misleading, but to answer your question, no, that's the argument we'd make.
And yet, you refuse to clarify what you meant. And no, I am not confused at all. That's hardly adult debate.
Nobody is after Carson, this is a made up story, designed to appeal to the far right wing audience that is his base.
Ben Carson and his family received assistance while he was growing up. That assistance he received did NOT keep him on assistance, but it did help feed him while we went to school, and it enabled him to learn. Of course it's just as important to feed the body as it is to feed the mind. In an effort to be even more clear, you cannot feed the mind without feeding the body. This news source is a pile of garbage. It's all speculation. Newsmax might as well have said, they heard it from a friend of a friend. At least they admit these are uncorroborated claims. Note, The FBI has not offered such an assessment publicly, all this information is from a friend of a friend. This source of theirs is someone close to Washington, which means that the source may live in the surrounding zip code. If I were Ben Carson, I'd be more concerned over some lone, gun-toting nutcase, like the Oregon shooter, who identified as a conservative/Republican. After all, we have had 3 recent mass shootings since June, who identified themselves as far right wing nutters, including the Oregon shooter. In fact, deadly acts of terrorism by virulent racists and anti-government extremists have been more common in the United States than deadly acts of jihadist terrorism since 9/11. http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/18/opinions/bergen-charleston-attack-terrorism/index.html Dylann Roof was inspired by the Council of Conservative Citizens, a right wing hate site.
Well, just look at this forum with all the "taxation is theft" threads. Wouldn't it be easy to reach the conclusion that our conservatives friends want to strip government? Or is the dismantling only for things they don't like, like welfare, social security, the EPA, DOE etc. Maybe paying taxes to protect candidates is alright? When it is applied to you, then stereotyping seems ridiculous. However, many here have no problem labeling Bernie a communist when he is far from one.
It's a nice distraction from the fact that we've had more attacks in the US from crazed, anti-government, right wingers, since 9-11, than we have from jihadist. Liberals aren't even mentioned in that silly Newsmax article masquerading as news.
