Dr. Ben Carson: Renowned Neurosurgeon Needs His Head Examined

Here's Dr. Ben Carson, demogoguing the Affordable Care Act and proving that even a great neurosurgeon can be as much of an imbecile as an uneducated, talk radio-driven Teabagger:
“You know Obamacare is really I think the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery,” Carson said last Friday. “And it is in a way, it is slavery in a way, because it is making all of us subservient to the government..."
If, like me, you find the idea of a black man linking health insurance reform to slavery utterly ridiculous, keep in mind that earlier this year Carson made headlines for comparing marriage equality to bestiality and pedophilia. At this point, Carson is basically the right wing's idea of a think tank. 
And, yes--Fox "News" just hired him.
