Dr. Ben, spinnin' as fast as he CAN! He'll vote for a Muslim, if they don't think or act like one.

Dr. Ben Carson clarified his comments saying he would support a Muslim president as long as that person rejected the radical "tenets" of Islam – adding that criticism over his remarks stems from a "PC culture" in America. http://bit.ly/1iutKlX

I eventually bought a dedicated system, just to do meatspin 24/7 on a 60 inch screen.

Put it in the lobby. Customers love it.

Like Ben Carson, and the vast proportion of the GOP voter base.

Like original sin, a woman's lack of autonomy, homophobia, creationism and all other anti-science bullshit.

running for the Oval Office.

Since currently there is no Muslim running for that office it's a hypothetical question that appears to be designed to trip up candidates and mainly give the 24/7 news media a topic to exploit for ratings for at least several days.

Surely there are far more important and pertinent questions that the news media could ask the current candidates that would help voters choose which candidate they wish to support.

The right wingers hate to have it pointed out to them that those engaging in radical jihad are a small minority.
