I don't support Carson but neither do I support armchair warriors denigrating a brilliant surgeon on a personal level.
Most FReepers have never graduated from law school, but most of us are smarter than Obama or Hillary.
I’ve got a genius mechanic, but his spelling is terrible.
Just because a person is brilliant at one thing does not mean that this person is brilliant in all areas.
I haven’t seen or heard many people here on FR say negative things about Carson as a surgeon. That’s not where people take issue with the man.
They have a problem with his horrible political positions and his lack of common sense.
But every time someone points out his problematic positions, someone chimes in with “but he’s a gifted surgeon!”
So. What.
Unless he’s being elected to lobotomize Nancy Pelosi (something that I could get behind), then his surgical ability means nothing. We’re electing a POTUS. Not a Pelosi Lobotomizer. (darn it)
The fact that he’s a good surgeon doesn’t make him a decent human being and it doesn’t mean that he has common sense.
