That word salad of literal idiocracy is only underlined by the facts that Obama is barely a left leaning centrist (that is probably further right than St. Reagen was) who has done nothing to redistribute anything.
Your O.D.S. is showing, and even to those that have merely observed reality, it's making you look like a total idiot.
The !right wing took apart and held up to the light every single person that Obama ever met and everything he ever did in hopes of finding something that they could use against him from Davis to Dohrn to Ayers, even his damn preacher Wright AND his educational achievements.
ALL those issues were far from dismissed, they were ALL rolled over and over in the !right wing press till everyone lost interest because despite all the attempts of the entire !right wing propaganda machine to turn them into issues, they were not issues.
Carson can pretend that Obama wasn't attacked as badly as he has been but the facts are that Obama has been attacked in the !right wing press and hate talk radio every day since his first announcing his candidacy.
Until Carson suffers attacks from the left every day for nine years, he has shit to talk about.

So your saying the guy who says things that range from crazy to batshit crazy is getting a hard time because he's black and conservative and they are racists for it. And the guy who kept it below crazy got a pass because he's black and liberal and that wasn't racism. Right. Next you'll tell me that people didn't demand Obama's long form birth certificate from him for years or that no one calls him a muslim.

A think progress article? I fully expect unbiased and civil discourse in this thread!

Carson needs to keep his mouth shut, when he opens it, bullshit comes out. The West Point thing, the Pyramids, just shut up why don't you.

Turns out the West point kerfuffle was crap created by Politico.

Wonder how much longer all these cuckservatives are going to prop up this token minority.

I wonder how long it will be before idiots like you realize that the word "cuck" identifies you as an easily lead idiot or a stormfront branded idiot and you learn to keep your fucking mouth shut.
Your personal sexual fantasies are not a part of MY nation's political discourse, keep your desires and your shame of them in your bedroom where they belong.

Hahah! Whatever you say buddy. Would you prefer the term "candy ass conservative"?
PS - nobody uses Stormfront anymore.

Never fails. A republican gets caught fucking a girlscout on the national mall and their first words "b b but the democrats!"
