[su_right_ad]And I thought Ben Carson had sworn off talking about gay rights.

Well, apparently that does not apply to Indiana’s controversial “religious freedom” law that would allow businesses to discriminate against LGBT customers.

“It is absolutely vital that we do all we can to allow Americans to practice their religious ways, while simultaneously ensuring that no one’s beliefs infringe upon those of others,” Carson said in an“exclusive” statement to Breitbart News. “We should also serve as champions of freedom of religion throughout the world”

“As Americans, we have an obligation to denounce these acts of persecution. For when we stand up to such intolerance, we are defending the root of our freedom, both at home and abroad,” he added, equating preventing discrimination against gays to “intolerance.”

“Persecution”? Really? Who is being persecuted? So, serving as “champions of freedom” means denying it to an entire class of people.

    And if Ben Carson is for it, you KNOW it’s wrong!

    Will someone please call the guys in the white van to cart him off?

    • whatthe46 March 31st, 2015 at 1:40 am

      actually cart him off and drop him in the middle of MISSISSIPPI’s hard core racist backwoods camp.

  3. majii March 30th, 2015 at 10:32 pm

    Carson is an opportunist. He’ll get on any right-wing bandwagon that has a chance of elevating his political profile because the reality is that he has none.

    • whatthe46 March 31st, 2015 at 1:39 am

      all the while, they are laughing at his dumb a&&&&&&. i’m saying a&& when i wanna say so much more!

  4. Foundryman March 30th, 2015 at 10:59 pm

    I’m so happy all the far right wing wanabes are jumping on the bigotry train. It makes things much simpler when they willingly paint themselves as morons.

  5. Khary A March 30th, 2015 at 11:00 pm

    Ben Carson…the only man to actually make me drop N-bombs, usually with the word house before it. Seriously. i hate him so much.

    • whatthe46 March 31st, 2015 at 1:38 am

      i said that out loud….!!!!!! you have no idea how much i wanna b**** slap the black off his sorry nasty a&&. i’ll say it, he’s a house ni&&er!

      • Khary A March 31st, 2015 at 9:17 am

        Nah it’s true. He’s actually living up to the definition of the word. I mean how can someone who has made it as “far” as he has come because the fight against discrimination exists, then support out and out discrimination?!?! it’s truly mind boggling.

        • Budda March 31st, 2015 at 3:37 pm

          Now, now guys calm down.

    “It is absolutely vital that we do all we can to allow Americans to
    practice their religious ways, while simultaneously ensuring that no
    one’s beliefs infringe upon those of others,”

    Really, Benny? How come rightwing christians & most of GOP hate Muslims and their Muslim way? You just cannot bullshit around a bullshit law. A bullshit is bullshit.

    It’s crystal clear to most decent people that the law is an ASS and now intensely denouncing it. Why do you refuse to get it?

    Would you be ok, Benny, if a KKK owned business turns you away because you’re black? I would guess you would be because they way you always crazily attack the first black president with such contempt and disrespect.

    You’re bloody stupid for a doctor.

    • whatthe46 March 31st, 2015 at 1:36 am

      if Indiana could ban stupid, ignorant, black repukes, he’d pi&& his pants!

  7. Dwendt44 March 30th, 2015 at 11:53 pm

    He has to get his name out there some how. He’s been kind of quiet lately.
    He can only go so long without saying something stupid.

  8. whatthe46 March 31st, 2015 at 1:35 am

    can we please ban his sorry black a&& from “free” air! i hope that every sane community bans his a&& so hard! i am in such a sailor mode!

    • Hirightnow March 31st, 2015 at 10:24 am

      Are you wearing the schoolgirl outfit? Is there a guy in a tuxedo and mask stalking you?
      Oh, wait…you said “mode”…
      My bad.

      • whatthe46 March 31st, 2015 at 10:33 am

        lol.

  9. Suzanne McFly March 31st, 2015 at 6:07 am

    If Ben Carson is in support of my stance, I would quickly reconsider my stance.

  10. Aunt Pee March 31st, 2015 at 6:51 am

    As if he think Indiana’s hated is only directed towards gays. What a fool.

  11. rg9rts March 31st, 2015 at 11:00 am

    Can’t wait for him to get refused service….cause…..

  12. thinkingwomanmillstone March 31st, 2015 at 11:25 am

    Well, smh, bless his heart. 😉 He has gone off the rails in his quest for a theocracy led by Pope Ben.

    • whatthe46 April 1st, 2015 at 5:37 pm

      what heart?

  13. Robert M. Snyder March 31st, 2015 at 11:51 am

    In places where prostitution is legal, does a prostitute have a right to refuse service to people of a specific gender?

    • Larry Schmitt April 1st, 2015 at 7:08 am

      The only place in this country that prostitution is legal is Nevada, except for four counties and Carson City, the capital. You’d have to check Nevada law.

      • Robert M. Snyder April 1st, 2015 at 11:02 am

        It was a rhetorical question. I was interested in hearing arguments pro or con.

  14. mrbigstuff March 31st, 2015 at 1:03 pm

    Religion should never be used in defense of bigots or ignorant. house negroes

  17. anothertoothpick April 1st, 2015 at 8:46 am

    After all Ben is a doctor and an expert on all things.

    Did he say anything about prison sex this time?

    I thought Ben was going to stop talking about The Gay.

  18. Suzanne McFly April 1st, 2015 at 6:46 pm

    while simultaneously ensuring that no one’s beliefs infringe upon those of others,”

    Unless of course you are one of the “others” that eighty year old self righteous old geezers don’t agree with.

  19. fancypants April 2nd, 2015 at 5:26 am

    CPAC often does that to people
    you support silly views like this or your on your own dime during your campaign
