Ben Carson on Hannity: "maybe GZ should have had a taser"

[RightWingNilla]

So the combination of his thoughts on the 2nd amendment ans self defense makes him radioactive to me.

I agree. Is he really going to run for office? I can see him more of a pundit type.

[Catsrus]

I was actually quoting another poster with that phrase. And, yes there are many on here who seem to be members of that squad. Hopefully, we will get a great candidate in 2016, one that we can all support. If, however, the RNC has anything to do with it, we’ll end up with another Dole, McCain or Romney.

[Slings and Arrows]

Even good people can be mistaken. Instead of ripping him a new one, wouldn’t it be more constructive to send him a *polite* email explaining the situation?

[TChad]

Carson is now a regular columnist for the Washington Times:

Good guy, but I think he hasn't quite figured out his new very public role as a high profile black conservative. A surgeon can say whatever he wants. In his new position Carson has to weigh every word.

I do not know. I don’t have anything against him as a human being at all, but as a politician or leader...no way.

Hannity comes on again here at 11 pm and I'll watch it. If a man this smart can be so uninformed to say what he did, plus dump on self defense, I think it's the black “disease” they have to keep fighting slave owners. I'm sick of it. You see, there is one absolute certain fact: a black person will never be white. There are those who want to be white and they are never happy because of that and can be very testy. I knew an educated black who thought like that. He wasn't pleasant to be around due to his attitude.

But that’s what Bernie De La Rionda said about Zimmerman and his KelTec pistol.

There's your answer, right there.

If you want to take the word of an affirmative action crook, be my guest.

[Jeff Winston]

Sorry to hear that. I thought Ben Carson was a lot smarter than that.

[Red in Blue PA]

No. He has gotten 2A issues wrong multiple times.....looks like it is indelibly etched into who he is.

[Red in Blue PA]

2A is a deal breaker for me too. If R’s wont stand up for it, who will?

[Red in Blue PA]

The 21 foot rule does not works as well if it is dark or there are obstacles.

[Red in Blue PA]

I am afraid it will be someone like Chris Christie.....do not know if I could ever support him.

[chris37]

I will.

[Red in Blue PA]

As will I. There is nothing more important or sacred than the 2A.

You either understand that or you don’t.

[exit82]

I saw that segment. Ben lost points with me bigtime.

A one-hit wonder.

[Red in Blue PA]

Ben thinks you need a huntin’ license to exercise your 2A rights.

An exaggeration, but not much.

[bmwcyle]

Ben is out as a pick. He needs to be shown the Constitution.

[CodeToad]

The criminal doesn’t get to stipulate the weapon used to stop their attack.

[Red in Blue PA]

RINO’S believe they do.

[VerySadAmerican]

I’m not playing “what if”. I was just responding to those lame brain talking heads who are saying “What if Zimmerman had stayed in the car” or “What if Zimmerman had said ‘the cops are calling. Do you mind waiting?’”

I did learn something. In all those horror movies where some vampire reaches into a man’s chest and pulls his heart out and he stands there for a few seconds looking at his own still pumping heart, it’s actually possible.
