But every time someone points out his problematic positions, someone chimes in with "but he's a gifted surgeon!"

Nope. The problem is the denigrating persoanl attacks. He's not an idiot but Trump supporters et al jump around calling Carson such.

We need to stick to policy issues and leave off calling anyone names. Otherwise this election season is going to see us eating one another instead of the liberals. And it will cost us.

Your outrage is so misplaced.

A few weeks ago many here said the exact same thing about Carley and Jeb when they proposed imposing a no-fly zone over Syria and shooting down Russian planes.

Dozens of FReepers said that these people were stupid idiots, insane, dangerous, and worse.

NOBODY cried about name-calling then.

Didn’t hear a lot of FReepers defending Hillary when we criticized her for saying the exact same thing as Carson.

Why is it alright to call Hillary, Carley, and Bush idiots for wanting to shoot down Russian planes, but not Carson? Why is Carson the sacred cow?

This is the same issue and I’ll stand by my principles. ANYBODY who wants to start WWIII by provoking Russia into a shooting war is stupid. They’re an idiot who lacks common sense. They’re dangerous.

And if Trump said it, I’d apply the same words to him, too.

I know right from wrong and I’m not so loyal to any candidate that I’ll sacrifice thousands of American lives for a needless war.
