Republican Ben Carson compares Syrian refugees to 'rabid dogs'
« on: November 19, 2015, 10:18:34 pm »
Posted as a public service so that the incipient dhimmis on here will have someone other than Trump to pillory.

"(Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Thursday likened refugees fleeing violence in Syria to "rabid dogs," and said that allowing them into the United States would put Americans at risk.

"If there is a rabid dog running around your neighborhood, you're probably not going to assume something good about that dog,” Carson, a front-runner in some opinion polls, said Thursday at a campaign event in Mobile, Alabama.

"By the same token, we have to have in place screening mechanisms that allow us to determine who the mad dogs are, quite frankly," the retired neurosurgeon said, criticizing President Barack Obama's plan to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees within a year.

Obama administration officials have emphasized the refugee vetting process, which can take as long as two years.

But Republican presidential candidates and dozens of Republican governors have come out strongly against the refugee plan this week following the deadly Islamic State attacks in Paris on Friday."

"Rabid dogs". Can you imagine?

Oh dear, oh dear:

"FBI Director James Comey famously admitted last month that the U.S. government has no real way to conduct background checks on refugees. “We can only query against that which we have collected. And so if someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interest reflected in our database, we can query our database until the cows come home, but there will be nothing show up because we have no record of them,” Comey explained, quite sensibly."
Members of the anti-Trump cabal: Now that Mr Trump has sewn up the nomination, I want you to know I feel your pain.

As usually happens, certain Republicans go off the rails on a legitimate issue and make fools of themselves.

First, Trump entertains a hypothetical of forcing Muslim CITIZENS to get IDs, and now Carson compares all the refugees to rabid dogs.  I do think it's pretty clear Ben despises Muslims.  ALL Muslims.

Neither of these guys have any business near the Oval Office.

Do they have more or less business being near the Oval Office than Hillary?

Marco Rubio would be a much more sane, grown-up choice.

Sink, I didn't ask about Rubio.

And, Rubio wants to give citizenship to illegals.  Are you ok with that?
