Ben Carson Somewhat Explains His Popeyes Robery Story – Audio

There have been a lot of questions and inquiries into Ben Carson’s claim of being held up at gunpoint at a Popeyes in Baltimore. So many inquiries in fact, that the Baltimore police felt the need to explain in a tweet that they couldn’t find any information about the incident.

So if the police have no information regarding a gun-point robbery, then Carson, the man who claimed he was personally witnessed the robbery, is the best person to get more info from.

In another interview, Carson was asked about his story and whether he would provide more information on his story.

“I don’t know,” Carson said. “To me it wasn’t that big of deal, to be honest with you.”

He then explained that he is a Christian man and wouldn’t lie about what happened.

Personally, I don’t believe him. But that’s just me.

Seth Rogen to Ben Carson – “F*ck You Ben Carson”

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - OCTOBER 13: Seth Rogen attends the premiere of 50/50 at the 55th BFI London Film Festival at Odeon Leicester Square on October 13, 2011 in London, England. (Photo by Stuart Wilson/Getty images For The BFI)

The actor took to twitter with his very special message for the Republican presidential candidate. What caused Rogen to send such a message to Carson? I can’t say I know for sure, but there is a litany of dumb Ben Carson statements Rogen that could have pissed Rogen off. Whichever statement it was, Rogen apparently got to the point where he just couldn’t take it anymore!

Ben Carson Admits – He Punked Out When Man Pulled a Gun On Him

Ben Carson must be trying to overtake Donald Trump with all these dumb statements. Carson, who bragged all week that he would have fought back and encouraged others to do the same if he was in the room when the Oregon massacre began, Ben Carson is now admitting that he punked out when a man tried to rob him at a Popeyes in Baltimore.

On an interview with Karen Hunter’s Sirius XM Radio program, Carson recalled that one time when he had the opportunity to do a Rambo on a gunman, but instead whimpered.

“I have had a gun held on me when I was in a Popeye’s organization,” Carson said.

“Guy comes in, put the gun in my ribs. I just said, ‘I believe that you want the guy behind the counter,’”

What happened to “the guy behind the counter?” We don’t know, Carson did not say. What is apparent however, Carson did not come to the guy’s rescue as he claimed he would have if he was a victim in the Oregon shooting.

Ben Carson – “I’m not gonna become a vanilla envelope” – Video

Ben Carson. That’s all you really have to say to convey the idea of a man who has mastered the art of putting his foot in his mouth.

Since announcing his intentions to run for President, the Republican candidate has been caught time and again trying to clarify his statements. From his religious test for Muslims being president to his well documented ideas about abortions and contraception, to his drones on the border statement, Carson is constantly trying to explain what he meant to say.

His most recent flare-up happened last week when he implied that the victims of the mass shooting in Oregon stood by waiting to be killed. If he was there, Carson said, he would kindly ask everyone to attack the shooter.

Carson went on Fox and was asked if he has a problem saying things that are more easily accepted.

The convo went something like this;

“It sounds — I understand what you are trying to say underneath — but the problem is the way it sometimes comes across,” Fox host MacCallum said. “It is something you run into time and time again with the comment on Muslims being President and, you know, some other things. So how do you deal with that part of the equation? Because you have to keep cleaning up these comments?”

“I don’t deal with it to be honest with you,” adding, “we’re living” in a divisive culture.

“But does it bother you that you spend time — you’re doing it again here right now — sort of saying here is what I meant to say,” MacCallum continued. “As a candidate, do you need to get better at saying what you mean?”

Carson replied;

“I don’t think so, actually. I think people know exactly what I am saying, and they know exactly what the media is trying to do. And I think they are smarter than that and they’re not going to be manipulated.”

“So, I’m not gonna change and become a — you know — a vanilla (sic) envelope that they can accept,” Carson continued. “They’re never going to accept me because I don’t believe in political correctness. I can twist myself in pretzels trying to fit into their box or be who I am. And we need people to stand up and talk what’s logical right now.”

Ben Carson – A Nazi-type Government Could Happen In The United States

In the latest polls, Donald Trump is still leading with 23% and tied for second at 13% is Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina.

What happened? Last time I checked, Ben Carson and Trump were virtually tied for first place! Well, I’m not sure what’s happening to Carson, but maybe decisions like saying Obama is not Hitler, is contributing to his falling poll numbers among the Obama-hating Republican party.

Take this latest Carson statement for example. In a recent interview, the Republican presidential candidate said that a government like Nazi Germany’s could reign over the United States.

Carson argued during a campaign stop in New Hampshire that a similar regime is possible in any nation that relinquishes its freedoms.

“I beg to differ,” he said after proposing that scenario is impossible in America, according to CNN.

“If you go back and look at the history of the world, tyranny and despotism and how it starts, it has a lot to do with control of thought and control of speech,” Carson said.

“If people don’t speak up for what they believe, then other people will change things without them having a voice,” the retired neurosurgeon added.

“Hitler changed things there and nobody protested. Nobody provided any opposition to him.”

Carson also refused comment on Wednesday afternoon about the American he thinks most resembles Nazi leader Adolf Hitler today.

“I’m not going to go into that,” he said without elaborating further. “I think the example is pretty clear.”
Carson then rejected the idea that his speech was referencing President Obama’s White House.

“No,” he said when a reported asked if he was comparing Obama and Hitler.

“I am saying in a situation where people do not express themselves, bad things can happen,” the former doctor added.

Poll: Ben Carson and Donald Trump Almost Tied for First

In a new NBC/WSJ Poll, Ben Carson is just one more outrageous statement away from taking the lead from Donald Trump. But it’s still early, and there are still many more outrageous statements to come from both Donald Trump and Ben Carson. The most outrageous is sure to win over the Republican base.

In the new poll, Donald Trump is now at 21% with Ben Carson closely following with 20%. Carly Fiorina and Marco Rubio are tied for third place with 11%. Coming in fourth is Jeb! Bush with 7%.

Rand Paul and Chris Christie both ties with a whopping 3% and bottoming out the Republican list are Mike Huckabee with 2%, Rick Santorum with 1% and Bobby Jindal at 1%. There are a few more people who are below 1% and not worth the time mentioning in this post.

The Poll was conducted between September 20th and September 24th.

Teaparty’s Black Man Ben Carson Spending Big Bucks to be President

I’m not calling Ben Carson a token, but I was yotally unaware that black people were in the Tea Party.

Call me shocked.

Buzzfeed reoorts that the National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee is spending as much as it’s taking in: $10,757,609, to be exact, according to Federal Election Commission data. The money is mostly being spent on fundraising efforts and for a digital campaign that the group’s campaign director told BuzzFeed News is modeled on the vaunted Obama operation. It’s also providing a salary for Vernon Robinson, the campaign director, who has made nearly $236,000 from his work so far for the PAC, according to FEC filings.

It’s not unusual for people running a campaign of some kind to make money. But the committee only categorizes a small percentage of its disbursements as salary payments. The payments in this case haven’t been listed as going directly to Robinson, and have been classified as fundraising expenses. The recipient is listed as “Tzu Mahan” — in some cases, “Mahan, Tzu.”

Tzu Mahan is Vernon Robinson’s consulting and strategy firm. It has one full-time employee: Vernon Robinson. The firm also has “various subcontractors,” he said in an interview on Wednesday.

Asked why he didn’t just list his own name on the FEC documents as a payroll expense, Robinson said, “When Dr. Carson wins the presidency, we want everybody to know that Tzu Mahan is running the strategy.”

“People get paid to do politics,” Robinson said.

Ben Carson On Ray Rice – “Let’s not all jump on the bandwagon of demonizing this guy”

Ben Carson is a Republican and has been mentioned as a potential Republican candidate for President in 2016. Make no mistake, Ben Carson will never get the Republican’s nomination for president in 2016 or any year after, because Republicans are simply not ready for Carson’s real shade of gray… you know what I mean?

But following what happened today when TMZ released the full video of Rey Rice’s knockout punch on his then fiancée, Ben Carson jumped to the microphone to make his feelings known, and he doesn’t want anyone “demonizing” Rice for his knockout punch!

When asked if he agreed with the Baltimore Ravens and NFL’s decision to release Rice from his contract and suspend him indefinitely, Carson answered, “I’m hopeful they will get some help for him. I mean, obviously anyone who would do something like that needs some help.”

He continued;

“And let’s not all jump on the bandwagon of demonizing this guy. He obviously has some real problems, and his wife obviously knows that, because she subsequently married him. So they both need some help. So rather than just jumping on a punitive bandwagon, let’s just see if we can get some help for these people.”
