F*ck Ben Carson
This article is really riling up the 'Baggers.
http://www.gq.com/story/fuck-ben-carson
It's hard to take issue with its main point though:
You are now bearing witness to an arms race of stupid, because stupid is in such high demand from the GOP base at the present moment. Stupid is what gets you attention, and attention is what gets you better polling numbers.

Yeah, but isn't calling your essay "Fuck Ben Carson" kind of saying there's an 'arms race of stupid' in commentary as well?

Putting the working poor between themselves and the hard realities of life has long been the modus operandi of the rightwing elite. Look at all of the top Republicans in the last couple decades who were/are draft dodgers. Trump comes immediately to mind.
What's ironic is that the average schmuck still thinks only Democrats engage in such hypocrisy. That they are somehow voting for "warriors" when they vote Republican................ There is no basis in fact for any of it.

No.
Unprofessional, maybe. But the content of the article is spot on.

So, you don't like Ben Carson, but you like Al Sharpton and talk about somebody else being stupid.
I have a pretty good idea that Carson is smarter than any of us.
I certainly didn't do what he did with what he had to do it with and none of you have done anything but get a job and bitch because you didn't become a multi millionaire making widgets for somebody else.
I mean the effort ya'll must have put in to that.

Well, OK. Maybe I should have said 'an arms race of stupid in headlines.'

Well, you are a liberal. And, your handlers are telling you not to like Carson.
I suppose because he does not fit the mold of the downtrodden black victim or buy in to that mentality.
In other words he is a threat to the government will do it for you vote buying Democratic strategy.

Nah, outside of his medical accomplishments, he's just plain stupid when it comes to politics and public policy. I suppose that's what endears him to 'Baggers.
