After newfound conservative “folk hero” Dr. Ben Carson lumped pedophiles in with same-sex couples during a Fox interview this week, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer grilled the neurosurgeon this afternoon on what he meant by the remarks. Reiterating his earlier apology on the comment, Carson told Blitzer he had “no intention” to cause offense and that he is learning to be more “artful” in presenting his beliefs on the national stage.

1. How do you "artfully" call someone a pedophile?

2. His church's beliefs shape his odd view:

Seventh Day Adventist: "According to official statements from the General Conference, heterosexual marriages are the only biblically ordained grounds for sexual intimacy. Adventists do not perform same-sex marriages and practising homosexuals cannot be ordained, and can be disfellowshipped from the church membership.[41][42] An extramarital affair is one of the sanctioned grounds for a divorce, although reconciliation is encouraged whenever possible. Adventists believe in and encourage abstinence for both men and women before marriage. The church disagrees with extra-marital cohabitation.[43] The New Testament texts are interpreted to teach that wives should submit to their husbands in marriage[44] and that "husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it".

So, in toto: gay = bad, affair = not so much

3. I'm always stunned when seemingly brilliant people fail to

comprehend basic concepts. Does religious indoctrination trump critical thinking?

4. So same-sex relations between consenting adults who hurt no one

are the same as man-boy rape of minors legally determined to be incapable of giving consent or forced sex with an animal that has no natural inclination to want sex with a human? One is consensual and harms no one, while the other two are based on lack of consent and are inherently forced.

5. Carson knew exactly what he was saying.......

He should keep being explicit and simple to show the raw bigotry he brings to politics.

Meanwhile, R. Limbigot repeated Corsons words over and over today and commented that by using nambla and bestiality, he just meant "anyone" or "any group"

These two pretty intelligent people know exactly what they are doing. Any claim that it is unintentional is hogwash.
