The partisan press has been desperately seeking some weapon that will destroy the GOP presidential candidate who frightens them the most—Ben Carson. Last month, when they realized Carson had defied expert predictions that he would fade away due to lack of funding and earned coverage, the “news” media went after him with all the racist venom they reserve for black conservatives. That failed. Carson’s rise in the polls has continued unabated and recent surveys suggest that he will beat Donald Trump in the Iowa caucuses. This has panicked these purported journalists into activating the ultimate Democrat doomsday machine—Mediscare.
Mediscare is, of course, deployed by the Democrat-MSM complex in every election cycle to terrify seniors with the claim that Republicans want to deprive them of health care. It was famously used against Paul Ryan, who proposed a premium support plan to help control Medicare spending. This heresy resulted in a TV ad showing a Ryan-lookalike throwing an old lady off a cliff. It is now being deployed against Carson pursuant to his proposal to gradually transition U.S. health care away from government-run programs to a system in which every American would have a Health Savings Account (HSA) supplemented by catastrophic coverage.

MSM Deploys Mediscare Against Carson

And well they should but they will also throw it at all republican candidates.
I give Carson and Christie a lot of credit for telling the truth about the financially unsupportable SS and Mcare. Most of the other candidates stay away from the issue like poison, except for Trump and Huckabee who are in full Santa Claus mode.
They’re frightened of a successful black man who doesn’t fit the ideological shackles that Massa attempts to impose on him.
Liberals view blacks like Carson, Cain, Keyes, West, Rice, Thomas, Scott, Watts, and others as stolen property.
