Following his remarks about the gay marriage debate early this week, the political correctness (PC) mob has been whipped up by the left in order to manufacture outrage and justify their character lynching of Dr. Ben Carson.
Dr. Carson is the famed Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon who challenged Obama at a recent prayer breakfast and became a household name among conservatives. During Sean Hannity's show on Tuesday, when asked about gay marriage, Carson said, "Marriage is between a man and a woman. No group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality, it doesn't matter what they are. They don't get to change the definition."
In a Nixon-esque fashion, the Obama machine used Carson's remarks to manufacture a backlash and discredit one of the President's critics. In response, Carson said, "I think people have completely taken the wrong meaning out of what I was saying." He told an interviewer he "believes gay people should have all the rights that anybody else has," but noted that "as far as marriage is concerned that has traditionally been between a man and a woman and nobody should be able to change that."
Carson went on to say, "Now perhaps the examples were not the best choice of words, and I certainly apologize if I offended anyone," he added. "But the point that I was making was that no group of individuals, whoever they are, whatever their belief systems, gets to change traditional definitions. The reason I believe the way I do, I will readily confess, is because I am a Christian who believes in The Bible."
The Bible, he explained, "...says we have an obligation to love our fellow man as ourselves, and I love everybody the same -- all homosexuals. Everybody who knows me knows I would never say anything to intentionally hurt someone."
