And Breitbart and every other conservative news outlet whose playing Ben Carson's downfall like it's the result of some of liberal media witch hunt. I've got news for you. First off there is no liberal media anymore. Second, there's no one to blame for Ben Carson's downfall but Ben Carson himself.
The things that he's saying about guns are not only jaw droppingly ignorant, they're also completely insensitive. When a tragedy like Oregon strikes, you don't blame the victim. Especially if you want to hold the highest office in the country. And if you say the things that Dr. Carson is saying, if you are running for president, people are going to hold you accountable for every word you say.
If the things that Ben Carson is saying don't come up now, they're going to come back to bite him in the ass. A tragedy strikes and a presidential candidate is completely insensitive to the cause. You can't make comments like Ben Carson is making when you are running for president and expect people to be like "oh move along, nothing to see here". And you can bet that if Ted Cruz, or Mike Huckabee, or Paul Ryan were to say these things that they'd be held to the same scrutiny.

(2,107 posts)Honestly, is there a glut of neurosurgeons out there? Can a top flight doctor like Carson just remove himself from practice without someone languishing for lack of care? Does that thought matter to him? Evidently not.
