you can't seriously be blaming your imaginary enemy "the liberal media" for this one?
GOP candidate Ben Carson compares screening Syrian refugees for threats to handling 'mad dogs' | Fox News
Watch: Carson Makes 'Rabid Dogs' Analogy to Describe Possible Terrorists Entering U.S. as Refugees - Breitbart
Uh, no. Carson DID compare a rabid dog to to a Syrian / ME immigrant: "if there;s a rabid dog running around in yor neighborhood, you're probably not going to assume anything good about it".
So, how did he go from immigrants to rabid dogs and make the rabid dog a different subject? Was he commenting on his veterinarian skills? Is that his new talent now?
No, of course not. He was applying the analogy of a rabid dog onto a Syrian refugee. So, clearly he's just an idiot and the media knows it.
MOBILE, Ala. – Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Thursday that blocking potential terrorists posing as Syrian refugees from entering the U.S. is akin to handling a rabid dog.
At a campaign stop in Alabama, Carson said halting Syrian resettlement in the U.S. doesn't mean America lacks compassion.
"If there's a rabid dog running around in your neighborhood, you're probably not going to assume something good about that dog," Carson said. "It doesn't mean you hate all dogs, but you're putting your intellect into motion."
Carson said that to "protect my children," he would "call the humane society and hopefully they can come take this dog away and create a safe environment once again."
He continued: "By the same token, we have to have in place screening mechanisms that allow us to determine who the mad dogs are, quite frankly. Who are the people who want to come in here and hurt us and want to destroy us?"
GOP candidate Ben Carson compares screening Syrian refugees for threats to handling 'mad dogs' | Fox News
Thursday in Mobile, AL, Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson sounded off on the potential that the United States would allow Syrian refugees in the United States by drawing an analogy to current situation to that of a parent protecting a child from that of a “rabid dog.”
Carson said, “We must always balance safety against just being a humanitarian. For instance, if there’s a rabid dog running around your neighborhood, you’re probably not going to assume something good about that dog, and you’re probably going to put your children out of the way. It doesn’t mean you hate all dogs by any stretch of the imagination, but you’re putting intellect into motion and thinking, ‘How do I protect my children?’”
Carson continued “At the same time, I love dogs and will call the Humane Society and hopefully they can come take this dog away and create a safe environment once again. By the same token, we have to have in place screening mechanisms that allow us to determine who the mad dogs are, quite frankly, who are the people who want to come in here and hurt us and destroy us? Until we know how to do that, just like it would be foolish to put your child out in the neighborhood knowing that’s going on, it’s foolish for us to accept people if we can not have the appropriate type of screening.”

Do you post similar rants when the lying conservative media does exactly the same kinds of things? On a regular basis?
This lying liberal media is completely worthless. You might as well turn off the news, 'cause you already know you're not going to get the truth.
The lying liberal media lied again tonight. All over the airwaves. On practically every channel in existence.
"Carson compares immigrants to rabid dogs". That was the headline on the ABC Evening News. David Muir said that.
But I listened to what Carson actually said. He was making a statement about "stupid policy". He wasn't comparing anything to anything.
The lying liberal media utters a collective "gasp" every time they hear the word "immigrant". (And then the next word that comes out of their lying liberal mouths is "racist").
The lying liberal media is owned lock stock and barrel by their advertisers. They're not giving you the "news", they're telling you what their advertisers want you to hear.
They're certainly entirely devoid of credibility as a legitimate journalistic enterprise.
Sorry, but I'm not seeing where your claim is accurate. From the provided links in post #2, I believe.
It's reasonable to screen dogs for being rabid. The same way it's reasonable to screen refugees for militant Islamic extremists who would do the general public harm.
In an expanded quotation from another web site:
No where in either of the quotations is there a comparison between the Syrian refugees and rabid dogs. Only the screening of Syrian refugees being a similar self-protective measure as is screening for rabid dogs.
I'm seeing this as yet another dishonest liberal biased lame stream media attack on a conservative. Read the quotations yourself. I'm not seeing anything here. :shrug:
Your sources are both Right Wing. :lol:
Your sources are both Right Wing. :lol:
So you are partisan that it automatically disqualifies them?
I'm pretty sure, that if you ask anyone in Brussels at this moment, they'll tell you how "contained" ISIS is.
They don't need no "fact checkers" to tell 'em what reality is.
They don't need domass politicians telling 'em that what they're seeing with their own two eyes isn't real.
Wake up, America. This fool Obama is playing us just like that last joker Bush did.
Don't you remember Obama's debates with Romney, in 2012? Don't you remember that second debate? Don't you remember how Obama declared the terrorist threat was "contained"?
You remember what was happening right then, right? Benghazi. Same stupid sh*t, Obama said the terrorists were "contained" within a week of a massive attack.
And then after that the whole White House jumped through hoops for twelve whole days so they wouldn't have to utter the word "terrorist", and they still can't bring themselves to say "Islamist extremist". These idiot liberals are scared to communicate. As far as they're concerned, the terrorists have already won, 'cause they're afraid to call something by its real name. They've been terrorized, cowed into psychological submission by a bunch of Islamist extremist terrorists.
And, the media fed right into it. They jumped on Romney and jumped to Obama's defense. Remember Candy Crowley? Remember the weasel press secretary? All that... was only three years ago. My, how quickly we forget.
So you are partisan that it automatically disqualifies them?
And your sources have questionable impartiality.
The sources don't really matter much anyway. What matters is if you think that ISIS / Daesh's terrorist attacks in other nations is 'contained' or not.
My point being that it doesn't seem to fall within common use, so I'm left with the impression that Obama's playing semantic word games
My point is your Right-Wing sources agree with the mainstream media.

One source for the quote would be here Republican Ben Carson compares Syrian refugees to 'rabid dogs' | Reuters
I also saw the news story that showed him making that exact quote.
"If there is a rabid dog running around your neighborhood, you're probably not going to assume something good about that dog,” Carson, a front-runner in some opinion polls, said Thursday at a campaign event in Mobile, Alabama.
"By the same token, we have to have in place screening mechanisms that allow us to determine who the mad dogs are, quite frankly,"
The exact same quote:
So where in this quote is Carson saying something to the effect of 'The Syrian refugees are like rabid dogs' ?
I'm not seeing it. He's saying that there is no reason to view the Syrian refugees assuming they are something good for the nation.
Whether they are or are not is an arguable point.
But that Carson called he Syrian refugees rabid dogs is simply not accurate.

He was talking about the Syrian refugees. Or, are all of those credibly news outlets just stupid.
You are reading lies.
At no time did Ben Carson compare Syrian refugees to rabid dogs.
The headline by Reuters is a lie.
Well, here it is out of Carson's mouth:
So, I don't know how Reuters and every other credible journalistic source is lying.
I dunno. Do you not understand simple English? Have difficulty with basic analogies?
Carson clearly and unequivocally implies that the terrorists are the rabid dogs, not the refugees.
The lying liberal media is the one who put "refugees" in there, not Carson.
Carson never once compared refugees to rabid dogs.
The proof is in the very video you posted. Everyone should watch it.
(And tune out the scurrilous lies of the "mainstream" media).
The comment was an abomination...no matter which interpretation we use of it.
This lying liberal media is completely worthless. You might as well turn off the news, 'cause you already know you're not going to get the truth.

lol. by labeling the media, you hope to negate it. academia also. This leaves us with Rush for our news...
No, it leaves us with this forum. And the rest of the internet. And the shortwave radio. And the regular radio. And word of mouth. And billboards, and street signs, and the circulars they nail to the church doors (they still do that, right?).
What about you, you get your "news" from ABC? A half hour's worth of sound bites, and perhaps you think that's enough?
What half of America knows about Syria it got from David Muir. (Or worse yet, Brian Williams).
You don't really need to engage your brain to actively "label", while you're watching you can read the internet at midnight and then listen to David Muir the next day at 6pm. If you do that five days in a row you too will label the content as lies.
And besides, there's only two wire services anymore, Reuters and AP. If Reuters issues a lie, then David Muir will repeat it.
The media's not only lazy, they're also stupid, as clearly demonstrated by their complete misunderstanding of Dr Carson's simple analogy on terrorists.
The American mainstream media should hang its head in shame and do a gigantic mea culpa live and on the air, but of course we know their corporate sponsors would never agree to them representing themselves as a bunch of stone cold liars.
