Ben Carson stated today that there is “no question that hateful rhetoric, no matter which side it comes from, is detrimental to our society,” in response to a question about whether the GOP’s anti-Planned Parenthood talking points (PP) is to blame for the terrorist attack in Colorado Springs.
His answer stopped short, of course, from actually taking ownership of his party’s hateful and divisive PP rhetoric, yet still attempting to look like a reasonable human being. A shocker, but don’t forget, he once again was unable to answer a simple direct question.
Perhaps he thought the interviewer was talking about the Middle East, or maybe had an agenda? With Carson, it seems we never know what he is actually talking about until he runs to Fox News for clarification. So, I am not getting my hopes up that this rationality is any more transparent than his normal speech - which is somewhere between evil Dr. Seuss and a sleepy Billy Graham.
He then rolls this entire question into an “anti-Islamic Jihadist” tirade. And there it is, the old Carson. Gee, he looked sane for less than a minute.
Here is the video of Ben Carson not actually taking responsibility for anything but reminding us all that “both sides need to tone down their rhetoric”:

The ‘ol both siderism ruse. No, both sides DON’T do it.
creepy carson needs to get out of the race. he is mentally and intellectually unfit to be president.
He had a few very brief moments of lucidity there. He’s making progress.
Oh the arrogance of the left just keeps on getting more bold and incitful by the day.
You most likely will never see the double standard you created by trying to blame all of the right for what this person did.
99.999% of Christians don’t condone this hideous act but just like the left your drooling all over yourselves on how to capitalize on this.
Yet not to long ago when blacklivesmatter protesters were yelling pigs in a blanket fry them like bacon you had no problems with that.
Or when you chastise the right over the refugees saying you can’t blame all Muslims for what a few do.
But you have no problem blaming every Christian for what one nutjob did.
You must be so proud to know what hypocrites you are.
Your true colors have been exposed.
Of course you see no value in what Carson said and find his comments to have no merit right?
Talk about projection!
Stating actual facts is not projecting.
I haven’t seen any facts from you.

Go Google left wing terror in u.s.a. and go read a few of them then we can talk
You just did the same thing: throwing me in with all those you consider to be “the left”. You don’t know me.
Also…”inciteful”?
Nobody is blaming “all of the right”. Just the hateful phony Christians that claim to be pro life while condoning any vile act against Planned Parenthood up to and including murder. And “one” Christian nutjob? Remember Dylan Roof? Tim McVeigh? Terry Nichols? The list is endless.
Hatefulness, they name is republican!!!!
Hatefulness, thy name is republican-always and forever!
