Ben Carson (Whacko Party-Misogyny, USA) & friends at the Values Voter Summit
However, it was Ben Carson, the neurosurgeon who is the right’s newest hero, whose speech arguably most thrilled the crowd, with his contempt for the president matched only by his misogyny. “Obamacare is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery,” Carson said, going on to say that the health-care law actually is slavery “because it is making all of us subservient to the government.”
The remark was especially appreciated by the audience coming from Carson, who is African American.
But Carson unleashed his harshest words on women who have abortions. “There’s no war on women,” Carson said. “There’s a war on their baby.” He explained it this way: “You know, there are those of us in this society who’ve told women that there’s a war on them because that cute little baby inside of them, they may want to get rid of it.” His evidence that there’s no war on women? The fact that people will give up a seat on the bus for a pregnant woman.
