On MSNBC’s “Up,” Democratic strategist L. Joy Williams, one of the panelists on the show to discuss Carson’s rising appeal among Republican voters, said: Carson’s a “safe negro” for those who want to criticize Obama but can’t “because of the race factor,” Breitbart reported.

Williams went on: “So one you’re right, Dr. Carson’s story is one in which those who knew him before hand, which I am among them, knew of his inspirational story. It was something he communicated all the time. But you mentioned something really important. The really important thing of people supporting him because it’s ‘Oh, there’s another black man commenting or – negatively against the president and I don’t feel comfortable in doing so … because of the race factor.’ So here’s someone who can do it.”

Well, if there wasn't such a rush to blame any criticism of a black person on racism, you wouldn't have that phenomenon, would you?

I'm involved in a few on-line communities, and something about Ben Carson's support baffles me.  I've yet to see anyone actually support him on some fairly active boards, yet he's consistently polling in the mid-teens to mid-20s.

Who is his base?  They certainly aren't active online.  I like the guy, too, but where is all of this support coming from?

So, you admit then, you post around a lot. There's a name for someone like you... You're nothing but an Internet gigolo ...

Ha!

Well no, but if it's possible, I'd like to get paid to post!  Is Jeb Bush still hiring?

Wasn't Obama called pretty much the same thing by certain Democrats back in 2008? He was a presentable negro, a clean-cut one who spoke English pretty well and therefore wasn't a thread to the usual assortment of ignorants who vote Democrat, as I recall.

That's what Joe Biden said of Obama; that he's clean and articulate.

I am very skeptical of Carson -- what are his qualifications to become president?  He really doesn't have any?  I too would love to know where his support is coming from?  I too would love to know who his base is?

There was an hombre postin' around here some time back you should contact for a reference!

All good questions. NavyCanDo, musiclady and others represent where his support may come from. I'm not counting myself out, either. Conservative, Christian, some dem crossovers, maybe few blacks, women(?).

Latest polling has him leading nationally.
