GQ Piece Says 'F***' Carson,' Calls GOP Campaign an 'Arms Race of Stupid'

http://insider.foxnews.com/2015/10/09/gq-writer-attacks-ben-carson-gun-control-comments

GQ magazine is under fire for an article entitled "F*** Ben Carson" ( http://www.gq.com/story/fuck-ben-carson ) in which the writer slammed the GOP presidential candidate's recent comments on the Oregon college shooting.

The author, Drew Magary, argued that the Republican campaign is an "arms race of stupid" in which Carson is trying to stand out from the competition by making "even sillier comments."

Meantime, Carson is coming under a new round of criticism for suggesting the Holocaust could have been avoided if Jews were armed. “I think the likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed,” Carson said on CNN.

In an interview on "The Kelly File," Carson's campaign manager Barry Bennett said the former neurosurgeon was "sickened" by the GQ article.

1. Then maybe he should quit saying stupid shit in public.

[daleanime]

4. Amen....

[bumprstickr]

2. Ben Carson makes many people sick

[MMTampa]

31. And considering he's a doctor... first do no harm.

[bumprstickr]

34. He is also a self described Christian.

Before you remove the speck from your neighbors eye, first remove the beam from your own.

[msongs]

3. "the people" fully supported hitler and knew what he was up to nt

[hfojvt]

5. I have to agree with Carson

I wonder if the author ever advanced beyond name calling and snark.

The cult of the offhand comment is gaining new adherents I guess.

Stuff happens.

[Miles Archer]

8. That said, did you actually read the article?

Because if you did, you realized it's a well-written and thoughtful piece and it just has the misfortune of bearing a title you do not approve of.

Wonder no more. The author did "advance beyond name calling and snark." Read the article and see for yourself.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

10. I will, thanks.

[hfojvt]

23. okay

now I'd like those three minutes of my life back

although the topless girl asking for my email was nice.

Speaking of an "arms race".

The article reads like it was written by a 7th grader for a junior high audience, full of juvenile words guaranteed to make you snicker.

Ironic, isn't it, since the author is engaged in an arms race of snark and cursing in an effort to win over an apparently juvenile audience?

Is this the title that launched a thousand clicks?

[oberliner]

32. I agree with you

The article is childish and asinine.

[GoneOffShore]

14. Read the article and it was a good one. And the title is on the money.

Carson should have been a car mechanic. Then he wouldn't have all this money and name recognition.

[Major Nikon]

16. Fuck Ben Carson

Some people deserve nothing but name calling and snark. Regardless the article went far beyond that. I suspect you didn't make it past the title.

[hfojvt]

26. I usually do not follow links

my policy gives me fewer pop up ads to deal with.

The first link for some reason went to Fox news. Really? We want to visit their site?

I read the snips in the OP and there was not much there, there.

Sure, I know that anybody who is not a Jet is deserving of both barrels of hate. Trouble is, one message it sends "people who don't like Carson are puerile". People like this author are just helping to make America dumber and more hateful.

[Major Nikon]

30. The first link is for Carson's response

...which shows the article hit its intended target. Had you bothered to follow the clearly marked link to the article, you would have read about the wingnuts running in the Republican primary trying to out dipshit one another by making increasingly bizarre comments, not the least of which are intended to blame victims for their own demise.

[awoke_in_2003]

33. Jews might not have been killed if better armed...

women might not have been raped had they not dressed like that.

[progressoid]

6. awww, he's sickened.

[redwitch]

7. I think the families of the dead are sickened by Ben Carson.

I agree with Drew Magary. F*** Ben Carson.

[NightWatcher]

9. My friend said they liked Carson and before I could filter what my brain thought

my mouth said, "he's a goddamned idiot" in the same way that when someone sneezes and you say "bless you" without thinking.

And "arms race of stupid" is now in my lexicon.

[Fred Sanders]

11. Why everyone in the nation is not sickened by the GOP and their politicians is the real puzzle.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

21. And that reality alone, if not changed, will doom us all.

[trusty elf]

12. Benny Carson...

[img][/img]

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

22. You, know... I knew Johnny Carson.

Johnny Carson was a friend of mine. You, sir, are no Johnny Carson!

[sufrommich]

13. I didn't read the article because Ben Carson is a nutcase

flavor of the week who's 15 minutes are almost up,but this article's title looks like something straight from Idiocracy.

[lastone]

15. ah - HAHAHAHAH

that is funny! He gets the nomination we could run my left shoe and win in a landside!

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

24. Are you left-footed?

Most people would use the right shoe.

[DinahMoeHum]

17. Dear Ben. . .

[og1]

18. Ben a first class surgeon a third class historian

Ben do you think the blacks living in Germany in the early thirties should have been armed. Hard to believe isn't it that there were 24000 black german citizens and the question for Ben is how many survived life in third reich?

[pangaia]

19. FUCK BEN CARSON !!

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

20. That's one sick motherfucker. (apologize to legitimate MFs)

[greiner3]

25. "...the Holocaust could have been avoided if Jews were armed."

This would have been possible, but then again, any populace would be saved if they only would have had the ESP to know of the coming slaughter that Dr Carson seems to imply.

[AlbertCat]

29. Not to mention...

...... he's forgotten Germany had just lost a world war. Who woulda thunk it would do it again?

[Thespian2]

27. All by himself...

Carson is a walking, talking clusterfuck...

[onecaliberal]

28. Who cares, I am sickened by Carson.

[GeorgeGist]

35. but not by bullet-ridden bodies.

[LiberalElite]

36. Dear Dr Carson -

Backatcha, Fuckhead!

[Paladin]

37. Carson's not saying anything I haven't seen in the DU Gun Control/RKBA group.

But fuck him, anyway.
