a well-known story of Carson attacking a friend during an argument over preferred radio stations.

I do want a street fighter in the White House.

He needs a different type of skills though.

WTF? Is he going for street cred? Because if not, he just disqualified himself.

Pretty sure this is only news to those who have not read his books.

Guy creeps me out.
I feel deep down that Carson would make a horrible president.

When some Lefty Demrat gives us trouble after Carson is elected handan say, “how’d you like this hammer upside your head?”.

We will get a lot done.

Seriously, people trying to vilify and demean Carson are not conservative and suspect.

Seems to me more like Carson telling us that we shouldn’t be fooled by what we see, that he could go bat shit crazy any time!

Good grief! Only CBS would blab that story for hits. The COMPLEX intends to bury all conservative candidates until the complex/establishment candidate gets his free pass, and is the only one left standing. AGAIN.

Who here at Free Republic has not changed for the better?

I hope no one thinks that’s a bad thing.

Carson is just weird, IMHO.

His laid back demeanor reminds me of someone stewed on pot.

I think a lot of his support is coming from those who want to somehow prove that their distaste for Obama was not because he is black.

The left doesn’t like him, to them he’s an “Uncle Tom”, which nullifies his ability to fix racial division without giving out the freebies.

At this point, we need a Christian, but we don’t need a turn-the-other-cheek pacifist, or a preacher, we need a leader and a fighter. Carson is neither, by background or personality. He got pushed into the race based on comments he made at a prayer breakfast with Obama in attendance. I guess he thought it would be “something to do” during retirement.

If he’s somehow elected, conservatives will regret the day.

This is satire, right?

I’m not sure what Carson hoped to accomplish by highlighting past violent behavior even if it was in his teens. It’s a great thing that he turned himself around and became a very accomplished surgeon, he is to be commended and provides an example for all troubled teens. But, to me it comes back around to bite someone hoping to be elected President. People will always wonder about his mental state.

Dr. Carson and his story are impressive and inspiring.

By current societal logic, he should not be who he is. He should not be who God made him to be.

By society's logic, he should have remained as formed by the broken mold of a fatherless, low income, broken home, thus perpetuating the pattern he and so many others were born into.

But he didn't. He mastered his nature, tempered his spirit with the Holy Spirit, educated his mind so as to develop his talent and he broke free of those chains.

His mother did her best to make sure of it and, to his credit, Dr. Carson let himself be led to the mature man he was destined to be.

I don't know if he has the managerial and leadership skills to be the POTUS, but he certainly has earned the opportunity to make his case to we, the people.

Isn’t it interesting how CBS and the other major media outlets are so curious, and actually LOOK into Ben Carson’s early life? They didn’t bother doing anything like this for Obama.

the time, at 14 years old, when he "tried to stab someone"

Even at this young age he showed tendencies toward surgery.
