In an effort to draw attention to his Kim Kardashian-style vanity campaign, Ben Carson took his contrived outrage mongering against Cruz to a new level yesterday. During one of his numerous media appearances over the past three days, which is more actual campaigning than he’s done for the past few months while he took a hiatus to sell books, Carson compared Cruz’s behavior in Iowa to Hillary following the Benghazi tragedy.
Enough is enough.
If Carson wants to talk about the depths of deception and dishonesty he should “start looking at the man in the mirror.”
I was born and bred in Baltimore and grew up in the shadow of Dr. Carson’s stupendous reputation as ‘America’s Surgeon.’ I’ve never thought anything but admirable sentiments towards him, but his behavior this week reveals a man who is either running a scam or should be disqualified from running for office due to incompetency.
A few months ago, when Donald Trump referred to Carson as pathological and compared him to a child molester, Carson had nothing to say. He was completely impotent. And in fact, his numbers tanked shortly thereafter. Yet, when Cruz’s campaign took Carson’s absurd and bizarre campaign statement about going home to Florida as a sign he was dropping out of the race, Carson went nuclear. And despite Cruz’s gracious apology, Carson accepted it… but then went on the media circuit savaging him.
What gives?
The definition of a coward is someone who “lacks the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things.” When facing Donald Trump, Carson knew he would endure unpleasant things by confronting him. Whereas when confronting Cruz, Carson knows that he will never attack him personally. Moreover, he knows that because the media is out to destroy Cruz they will grant him an audience for his languishing campaign and slurp up any allegation he launches at him, irrespective of the facts or soundness of his charge.
What is more insidious is that Carson is using this attack to further obfuscate his seemingly scam campaign and in doing so he is actually proving the point of the Cruz campaign and why they thought he was dropping out in the first place.

We’ll see what he is going to do tonight at the debate.
He has been bleeding top advisors to Cruz since December because of his refusal to listen to his staff, but instead hangs on every word out of the mouth of Armstrong Williams, who is sinking his campaign. IF Carson had any real political sense, he’d have ditched Williams a long time ago. He has made MANY unforced errors because of this man. He is more like a noose around his neck. What gives that he doesn’t blame Williams for the stupidest mistake at this point in the campaign? Yet he wants Cruz to fire somebody! REALLY!?! This was a caucus, not a voting booth. I’m certain all kinds of things were being said about all the candidates by the team captains to try to influence the voters for their candidates. They even took issue with Cruz’s birth at these caucuses, and did he make a fuss over it? No. He realizes that at caucuses everything is fair game.
