Dr. Ben Carson is an Idiot Savant

[hazlnut]

There's just no other explanation.

Apparently his Dr. credentials check out, and he's a brain surgeon after all. And we always make the brain surgery / rocket science comparison when we mean to imply something is or is not really hard to master.

So, he's a terrific brain surgeon, except for a couple of sponges left behind. Okay... but what about everything else...

Outside of the hospital, outside of that specific arena, he's a blithering idiot. He comes off as borderline retarded when talking about public policy, the constitution, or foreign affairs.

Have you read his book on the constitution? It makes for some very entertaining reading. Like a 9th grader trying to convince the teacher he did his homework.

Anyways, there just no other way to slice it -- there's NO OTHER WORD for what Ben Carson is.

Idiot Savant.

 

[Asclepias]

This is why my motto is "praise the deed not the person". To often people think a job or title makes some random person great, outstanding, or godlike. Nope they are just humans with specialized knowledge in one or more fields depending on how diligent they were about being well rounded.

 

[Boss]

Okay... you go with "Ben Carson is Dumb!" We'll see how far that gets you! Ya think you can keep Hillary out of prison before she can get elected?

You're merely an idiot.
Ben Carson has done more in the last 20 minutes than you've accomplished in your life. It really chaps your ass that a poor black man can grow up to become something without being handed everything by the government, doesnt it?

Hey is not dumb you miss the part about him being a savant. If he is not a savant then he has an obsessive compulsive disorder that is being controlled by meds. Additionally surgeons are not as smart as those docs that go into more of the diagnostic fields of medicine. Surgeons are glorified mechanics.

Have you forgotten that he knows where Egypt stores their grain?

He's a brilliant man who knows man coexisted with dinosaurs.

Much more important is that he owns an actual portrait of Klingon Jesus posting with god.

Better check up on that. And Carson says in his book that they were on welfare and he got his glasses from a government funded program.

Lots of blacks are on welfare and get glasses from the gov't. How many of them became famous neurosurgeons?

It's not "Carson is dumb". Props were paid for his surgical chops. But, so far as Presidential politics go, he is out of his depth. He is a sterling neurosurgeon. But he appearantly seems to be precisely what he is, an inexperienced party in the most competitive public excerise that is not a sporting event, a race for the Presidency.

Dr. Carson would serve his nation better by keeping at his doctor gig, study up a bit, collect some sweet speaker's fees and try running for governor of Maryland.

Just like 2008's Sarah Palin, a rookie can make some really stupid statements. Gov. Palin should have become the night manager at the Wassilla Wendy's, taken a few civics courses at Wassilla Community College, and made a reality TVshow.

But he was handed a lot of things.

Barack Obama flung some zingers in 2007. Even in his re election he showed little grasp of foreign policy. Romney was correct in identifying Russia as a major threat, while Obama snarked about it. Even today Obama shows little understanding of foreign affairs.
Obama would have been better off bringing Bill and Hillary coffee.

Nobody is questioning if he is a famous neurosurgeon. Your statement about him not being givenshit is what we are laughing at you about

So you're justifying Dr. Carson's gaffes using Barack Obama as a paradigm? You would settle with a president as knowledgable and articulate as your political nemesis? That's one amazing set of partisan goggles you have there!

You're right.

We have a culture of worship of doctors without really knowing what or why we trust them to be smarter than we are.

Carson is actually doing a very good thing for a lot of doctors.

Ben Carson Shattering Stereotype About Brain Surgeons Being Smart

 

[Boss]

Well I think he wants to run for president because that's what people urged him to do. And he seems to have a pretty solid base of support at #2 right now in most polls, both state and national. It remains to be seen if he can win the GOP nomination and it also remains to be seen if the GOP can win the presidency. We won't know that until next year and it doesn't take a brain surgeon to understand that.

What you guys need to comprehend is, the voters who decide the GOP nominee are not likely going to pick someone you are creaming your panties over. I mean... that's just not going to happen for you, as much as you may wish for it. I'm sorry... I wish they could please you with a candidate you could all get behind and support but I just don't think they intend to nominate a Socialist.

Just when the left cranks up criticism about "angry rhetoric" being the cause of violence, along comes a leftie racist post wondering how a Black man could become a brain surgeon unless he is an "idiot savant".

I would still gladly take my chances with this man as our president over the resident jack ass, or Hillary or you. Or Michelle, or Harry Reid, or Pelosi. --- What a line up. :O

Carson is better than Obama. Funny that none of this bothered Dems back in 2007.
