Rocket scientist H Cain and brain surgeon B Carson are called stupid by LINZ

Ever heard of Savants? I think this is what we're dealing with here.
 
Smart vs. ignorant

One can be highly intelligent and ignorant about certain things at the same time. I am relatively "smart" about legal affairs since I graduated from a good law school, passed the bar on my first try and have been practicing law for over 37 years. But I'm pretty ignorant of neurosugery. And since I stopped taking math classes once I squeaked through college freshman calculus (which is now taught to smart 11th graders), I know little of rocket science aside from the solid booster models I shot off with my son when he was 14.

Carson was an excellent neurosurgeon by all accounts and he probably his a high intellect. But if he relied exclusively on his Bible, his Seventh Day Adventist minister and Fox News for his knowledge about public affairs, history and legal affairs (including Constitutional principles) he could be extraordinarily ignorant of those things--- as he is demonstrating nearly every day.

Cain had a successful business background after his work with rockets and rarely mentioned his service with the Federal Reserve. His demonstrated ignorance and disdain of knowledge of foreign affairs made him sound dumb in that area. Plus, the American robber barons of the late-19th and early-20 Century were "good businessmen" too and not many people think they would have made good presidents.

His disdain for the constitution as well.
 
It is almost never worth the effort to feed internet trolls, but this didn't take much effort.

I wouldn't have blamed him for not immediately knowing the name of the president of Uzbekistan, but to pick a country as an example of a "gotcha question" and butcher its name, even for comedic effect, sounded dumb.

who gives a shit....didnt matter

how many times was Hussein Obama Bin Soetoro axed that in 2008? 57 States and CORPSMANhttp://lh4.ggpht.com/-XacIIBskb9U/UZYyzNyRUuI/AAAAAAAA4BU/LtuRpHWuHR4/obama-umbrella-545_thumb%25255B8%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800

As the OP, have you already forgotten that the thread is about Cain and Carson, not Obama?

You were then one who asked "how?" and you were given the proff in Carson's own words.
It must really suck for you when you ask for proof and it's quickly provided. Especially when you are asked for proof for claims you make and you can rarely, if ever, provide it.
 
The point is

Nothing posted show anything amiss in Cain Carson

The issues shown, made no difference to you with Obama

Show us where Obama said China is trying to develop nuclear technology.

If you're talking about Cain, show us where Obama said there should be a religious test for Supreme Court justices.
 
BEN CARSON: THE PLOT AGAINST THE DOCTOR IS ABOUT TO BEGIN, Roger Simon warns:

As Ben Carson continues to rise in the polls, ahead not just in Iowa but now nationally, there is one thing you can bank on. A round of attacks on Dr. Carson are about to begin and they will be vicious, not to the extent of Stalin’s famous plot against the doctors perhaps, but the plot against this particular doctor will be pretty bad. And as with Stalin’s plot, it will be filled with lies and innuendo aimed at destroying the subject.

Donald Trump has already given us a hint with his cheesy, supposedly innocent, question about Carson’s religion. But that’s only the beginning. The media will have a field day. They have already shown an eagerness to quote Carson out of context, thereby skewing what he is really saying (i. e. his comments about guns and the Holocaust and the presidency and Sharia law) in an obvious attempt to “get him.”

It will be interesting to see how Carson holds up against this barrage. Several factors are in his favor: his intelligence, his honesty and that these attacks were to be expected (even by a political neophyte like Carson). Although it will give him problems in the short run, his style of speaking, deliberate and thoughtful, rarely in sound bites, will also redound in his favor.

It will be a good test for him — if Carson can’t survive attacks led by Trump, how will he hold up under the full weight of the Hillary-Democrat-Media Industrial Complex pressing down on him should he win the nomination?
 
is really saying (i. e. his comments about guns and the Holocaust and the presidency and Sharia law) in an obvious attempt to “get him.”

Carson on a Muslim President:
"“But right now, when you have something that is against the rights of women, against the rights of gays, subjugates other religions, and a host of things that are not compatible with our Constitution, why in fact would you take that chance?” he said."​

Carson's thoughts on same sex marriage and homosexuals:
Carson has said that he does not believe marriage equality is a civil right. He has stated that marriage equality is inconsistent with his religious beliefs, and believes that Congress should fire judges who rule in favor of it. He also supported Alabama judges who defied a ruling that granted residents access to same-sex marriage.

"How I feel and what I think isn’t just my opinion. God in his Word says very clearly that he considers homosexual acts to be an ‘abomination.’"​

If he wasn't such an ignorant hypocrite it wouldn't be so easy to "get him".
He's the 2016 Sarah Palin.
 
Carson is right

His views on ssm, is IDENTICAL TO THAT OF CUNTCLINTON AND HUSSEIN OBAMA BIN SOETORO

Until 15 minutes ago

Someone who you disagree with shouldn't be called ignorant. .....
