Sad, really.
Dr. Ben Carson on Tuesday accused critics of
his stance on gay marriage of trying to
completely shut down debate on the issue and
called his white liberal critics “the most racist
out there.”
In an appearance on the Mark Levin radio
show, Carson said he represents an existential
threat to gay marriage proponents, which is
why attacks on his stance against gay marriage
have been so vicious.
“They need to shut me up, they need to get rid
of me. They can’t find anything else to
delegitimize me, so they take my words,
misinterpret them, and try to make it seem that
I’m a bigot,” he said.
After Levin asked him about white liberals,
Carson, who is black, said, “They’re the most
racist people there are because they put you in
a little category, a box. How could you dare
come off the plantation?”
Urgent: Get the Truth About President
Obama.
Carson, a neurosurgeon and director of
pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins
Hospital in Baltimore, has become a darling of
conservatives since speaking out at the
National Prayer Breakfast in February, where
he attacked President Barack Obama’s policies
in front of the president. He has even hinted at
a possible presidential run in 2016.
Carson said last week that marriage “is a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and
no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be
they people who believe in bestiality — it
doesn’t matter what they are, they don’t get to
change the definition.”
NAMBLA is the North American Man/Boy Love
Association.
Initially he defended his comments, saying
they were misunderstood and taken out of
context.
However, the remarks prompted students to
petition for his removal as this year’s
commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins.
Carson said he would not speak if students
continued to object.
