Potential GOP candidate for President in 2016, Ben Carson, does not want you to pay attention to the words coming out of his mouth. Just what he is actually TRYING to say.

Story:
Earlier this year, Carson had told the
conservative news outlet Breitbart that the U.S. was “very much like Nazi
Germany” because President Barack Obama was using the government to
“intimidate the population.”
“What I heard the
comparison of the United States of America — the greatest country in the
world, the greatest country ever — to Nazi Germany, I said, what is he
talking about?” Blitzer told Carson on Wednesday.
“See,
what you were doing is allowing words to affect you more than listening to
what was actually being said,” Carson insisted. “Nazi Germany experienced
something horrible. The people in Nazi Germany largely did not believe in
what Hitler was doing, but did they say anything? Of course not. They kept
their mouths shut.”
“The fact that our government is
using instruments of government like the IRS to punish its opponents, this
is not the kind of thing, as far as I’m concerned, that is a Democrat or
Republican issue. This is an American issue. This is an issue that threatens
all of our liberty, all or our freedom.”
Blitzer,
however, wasn’t satisfied: “But to make the comparison, Dr. Carson, to Nazi
Germany, the slaughter of six million Jews by the Nazis, the devastation
that erupted in Europe and around the world to the United States of America,
I want you to reflect on what that means.”
“Well,
again, you are just focusing on the words Nazi Germany and completely
missing the point,” Carson replied. “And that’s the problem right now,
that’s what PC-ism is all about: You may not say this word regardless of
what your point is because if you say that word, you know, I go into a
tizzy. We can do better than that.”
“We need to get to
the point where we can look beyond the word, and look for the meaning,” he
said, adding that he had no intention of revising his remarks.
Yes
dammit, stop focusing on the actual words that Ben Carson is saying and try
to instead derive the meaning of what he would have said if he had used
entirely different words.
How hard is that?
By the way
this is the guy that is currently leading
the polls as a potential Republican presidential candidate if Mitt
Romney's wife refuses to let him run again.
Of course that is all
bullshit because I think that we all know that sometime before 2016 the
conservatives are going to realize that he is black. And you may not have
heard but they REALLY don't like black people.
