Southern Poverty Law Center Declares Ben Carson a Right-Wing Extremist




The Southern Poverty Law Center, an anti-American organization, has publicly declared anyone who believes in traditional marriage is an extremist.  They placed renowned neurosurgeon and potential republican presidential candidate, Ben Carson, on their extremist watch list.


Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson rapidly ascended as a far-right political star after publicly scolding President Obama, whom he sat a few feet away from, at a National Prayer Breakfast in February 2013. Carson’s reproach of Obama for his health care and tax policies went viral, unleashing a flood of adulation from right-wing media and hate groups. Carson’s own story as an “up by the bootstraps” black man reared in poverty translated into an inspiring, magnetic narrative that captured media attention. Soon he was appearing as the keynoter at a rash of right-wing and hate group gatherings, linking gays with pedophiles, comparing the U.S. to Nazi Germany and endorsing biblical economic practices for 21st century America. A movement to draft Carson as a presidential candidate took off in 2014, raising more than $7 million by June, according to its website. Carson has coyly declined to say whether he would run as a Republican or on a third-party ticket, but media interviews suggest that he is increasingly willing to run on some ticket.

In His Own Words:
   
“Marriage is between a man and a woman. It’s a well-established pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA [North American Man/Boy Association, a group advocating pedophilia], be they people who believe in bestiality—it doesn’t matter what they are, they don’t get to change the definition.”

—Interview on Fox News’ “Hannity,” March 26, 2013


The Southern Poverty Law Center considers Christians and Christianity a right-wing hate group.  Any organization that calls traditional marriage an extremist ideology shouldn’t be taken seriously.  These people are a disgrace.
