This, to me, is the saddest thing of all. Ben Carson lost his good name to those who supported him, or just respected him, because of his ill-thought-out endorsement of a man who doesn't share one whit of his decency and honor.
The problem is that it's going to take a long time for Ben to get that honor back. I think he can do it in time, but his endorsement of a misogynist vulgarian (hat tip to sink) has gone a long way to destroy his own reputation as an honorable man.
Lest we forget:
Dr. Carson's Disgrace (11 March 2016)
Dr. Ben Carson has just made a hypocrite of himself and done great damage to the country by endorsing
the moral monster, Donald Trump.
Carson has spent an entire campaign pleading for honor and decency and decorum, only to endorse a man
who is the crassest, most vulgar, most deceitful person in the race — a man who has repeatedly attacked
in the most vicious ways, and lied about, every other candidate in the race. Trump is a man who has
repeatedly incited violence at his rallies, saying that protesters should be punched out and carried away
on a stretcher, and promising to pay the legal bills of those who throw the punches.
And now, Trump is flat-out lying in denying the well-documented, audio-taped roughing up of a (female)
reporter by Trump’s wannabe thug of a campaign manager.
Carson has talked about the need for a president to understand poverty, yet has endorsed a multi-million-
dollar inheritor who has spent his entire career leaving others impoverished by walking out on his debts,
but refusing to pay full bills, and by trying to use to power of the state to seize their land. Worse, Carson
is endorsing a man who has mocked his religion and who quite literally likened him to a child molester.
In doing so, Dr. Carson has disgraced himself.

All I know is that if someone called
me a child molester and mocked
my religion the way Donaldus
Minimus did to Carson, the bastard couldn't pay me enough to endorse him. I'd tell him where to shove his
money, his job offer, his whatever.
Which is, by the way, what Sarah Palin
should have done to John McCain in 2010 when he went
schnorring for her endorsement. After his people threw her under the proverbial bus following the
2008 campaign, with nary a word out of his mouth on her behalf, she
should have told him to shove it
so far up his ass he could pull his own wisdom tooth if it was still there.
She didn't.
Thank you, thir, and may I have another? I've had no use for her since, either. And, for the record, that was
well before she endorsed Donaldus
Minimus.
