    Here's a video of him addressing the NRA-ILA forum.

    I admire this man:

      I have come to see with race relations it is not just a black and white issue but more of conservative versus liberal one. I see myself in agreement and supporting conservative Dr. Carson but never supporting someone like liberal Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. The Al Sharpton's of the world have done nothing to help this country with race relations but by constantly fueling hate he has made himself some money and a place at the White House with Obama.

      I saw a video the other day of a black man being a good samaritan and helping an elderly white woman to her car. He was attacked by a black mob for doing it. That is the kind of hatred being promoted today by the race baiters like Al Sharpton.

        Very true.

        Here's another, with Dr. Carson on CNN, explaining a few of his "controversial" statements.

        Liberals emotional knee jerk - they miss out on the finer points being made. Carson explains these

        couple of things brought up to him - and he explains the how and why of the finer points.

        He smiles about learning that though he knows what he means, it doesn't mean that it won't be

        politically misinterpreted by the opposition - my paraphrase, in the first video.

              I really think his earlier take on guns will sink him in the Republican primary.

                It might, but I see the point he was making. I don't want undesirables getting their hands

                on guns in urban areas either.

                He admits he has a tendency to make finer points that are generally attacked

                and misunderstood. But I love the honesty.

                How you solve that without violating our 2nd Amendment rights is the idea. I like the idea

                of a tax credit to offset the purchase of a gun safe or something. Personally, we buy a good gun safe,

                I still wouldn't apply for the tax credit, because the gov would know about it, obviously.

                  He seems like a nice enough guy, and I admittedly do not know all of his views, but he seems way too moderate to win the Rep vote.

                  Then there's the whole "young earth creationist" thing...

                    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that the video exists, i'd like to see it though....so I can look up the whole incident.

                      saw it now. He said something to em as he passed em by, that's why they attacked. Not condoning what they did but the Fox spin was obviously that they attacked him cause he was with the elderly white woman. If that was the case they would have just jumped both of them. Instead they waited till she was in the car than sucker punched him. I've been in that "exact" same situation just not with that many little ngrs. You don't say shit when they're hopped up like that, even if you're black. But again it's a non genuine narrative put forth by Fox news to it's slurping drooling viewer base. I actually saw the words "terrorist" attack from them associated with this event. Can we not dilute from what are real terrorist attacks? If we're smart normal thinking people we can probably distinguish for ourselves between disaffected little ngr youth running around wild and actual deliberate attacks against the United States of America carried out by a foreign entity for the explicit intent of creating doubt, mistrust and fear. If we're gonna call these kids terrorists than what would you have called the KKK that put out missives during the week reminding folks that Saturday was ngr roping night.

                        That almost really did make me LOL. Countless videos of blacks and black mobs attacking and murdering and you want to look up the whole incident?

                        This pregnant white lady must have did something wrong for sure.

                        Look up the whole incident and get back to us.

                                I never suggested that black people "NEVER" attack white people unprovoked. But yes you still have to look at each case. In the aforementioned case a group of little ngrs beat up a black man cause he said something to em while they were fucking off with each other. Not because he had an old white lady in tow. But Fox takes this story and twists it. And then throws the word "terrorist" in there. This is all i'm saying.

                                Didn't you guys say the exact same thing to the other side with the Ferguson incident? That you have to see the whole picture before you make a judgement about what that cop may or may not have been thinking before he shot Michael Brown? Just be consistent is all i'm asking. The right was absolutely correct in the Ferguson incident. How does Hannity get away then in taking incidents like this and cherry picking facts out of there and constructing his own narrative? Because he works at Fox that's why. And that's what they do. They do everything and more that they profess to hate from the liberal media.

                                    For any candidate:

                                    1. What do you propose to do about both the 18 trillion dollar debt and the over 100 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities?

                                    2. Why does the U.S. need over 700 military installations world wide?

                                    3. Illegal immigration - are you willing to bring back troops from overseas and put them on the U.S. - Mexico border?

                                    4. Chris Christie is a piece of statists whale blubber, but he is the only one so far to be courageous enough to admit that the Social Security system is unsustainable. Would you encourage Congress to end the SS system?

                                    5. What is your energy policy? Would you encourage domestic energy production of all types and rid ourselves of the boil on the ass of humanity, ie Saudi Arabia?

                                    Hope has two beautiful daughters: Their names are Anger and Courage. Anger that things are the way they are. Courage to make them the way they ought to be. - St. Augustine. Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their vision. - Ayn Rand

                                      6. Do you think the Earth is only 6000 years old, and that a magic man "poofed" everything we see on this Earth into existence

                                        For any candidate:

                                        1. What do you propose to do about both the 18 trillion dollar debt and the over 100 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities?

                                        2. Why does the U.S. need over 700 military installations world wide?

                                        3. Illegal immigration - are you willing to bring back troops from overseas and put them on the U.S. - Mexico border?

                                        4. Chris Christie is a piece of statists whale blubber, but he is the only one so far to be courageous enough to admit that the Social Security system is unsustainable. Would you encourage Congress to end the SS system?

                                        5. What is your energy policy? Would you encourage domestic energy production of all types and rid ourselves of the boil on the ass of humanity, ie Saudi Arabia?

                                        >> frankly there is very little we can do we've run up the debt and the interest keeps mounting. all we can do is try our best to freeze the handouts and grow the economy which will ease that pressure.<<

                                        2. Why does the U.S. need over 700 military installations world wide?

                                        >> because even though some liberals don't like the idea we actually are the world's police force. you think the jerk off countries in Europe Eastern Europe or the Middle East have little respect for us now? Wait until they run into a military problem and don't have us to come crying to.<<

                                        3. Illegal immigration - are you willing to bring back troops from overseas and put them on the U.S. - Mexico border?

                                        >> rather than focus on the border we should pay attention to those here who have overstayed their visas. we should encourage immigration of the best and brightest, discouraged immigration from war torn third world shit holes. and we should have and easily identifiable guest worker program.<<

                                        4. Chris Christie is a piece of statists whale blubber, but he is the only one so far to be courageous enough to admit that the Social Security system is unsustainable. Would you encourage Congress to end the SS system?

                                        >>I would encourage privatization of the Social Security system. if it makes people happy we can make it a choice between those who want to invest and those to accept the shitty returns the government offers. <<

                                        5. What is your energy policy? Would you encourage domestic energy production of all types and rid ourselves of the boil on the ass of humanity, ie Saudi Arabia?

                                        >> I would quit hyperventilating over it, encourage the cleanest possible use of our natural resources as newer and better technologies come about. I believe corporations and industry will find better and more efficient ways of producing energy and products. I do not think bankrupting the corporations just because we don't like them or the citizens because they're idiots is the proper course of action.<<

                                        #6 No but my opponent thinks that 2000 years ago a dead jew rose from the dead walked on the water and turned water into wine. now shut the fuck up and let the big people talk about what really affect the nation and quit your infantile crying about people who choose religion in their lives. Security? Escort that dumb looking tall kid out of the building.
