Special ‘Hannity’ Preview: Dr. Ben
Carson Reveals What Was the Most
Surprising Response to His Criticism
of President Obama at National
Prayer Breakfast

Fox News, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 2/13/2013 9:32:32 PM

This Friday, Dr. Ben Carson will sit down with Sean Hannity and a distinguished audience in a special one-hour show that revolves around one idea and one quest: saving America. Tonight, the Insider caught up with Dr. Carson before the taping of the special to get a preview of the show, as well as ask him some of our own burning questions about his inspirational career, his plans for the future, and of course, his reaction to the outpouring of response after his comments at last week’s National Prayer Breakfast. (Snip) Insider: Over the past week,

Comments:
I know what I will be doing Friday night. I can´t wait to see him for an entire hour. It will sure be intersting.

I think this is terrific. One thing I just can´t get over, however, is how many stupid lefties had said so many horrible things about Dr. Carson on the Mediaite comments section a couple days ago. How could anyone, even if they disagree with his views, say nasty things about this man?? I don´t get it.

#1, I think it is because they think that they successfully destroyed Sarah Palin through ridicule, that now they can do it to any conservative that shows up. Particularly if that person is black and avowedly Christian. Such people are traitors to their race and should not be allowed to express themselves publicly, just as Sarah Palin was a traitor to her sex. Also consider the tenor of the comments. The juvenile quality suggests that the commentators read like they are 15 years old.

Our problem is not low information voters, our problem is high sin voters. These folks have no fear of God because our nation is filled with compromising preachers. As Martin Luther King preached, let judgement run down like waters and righteousness as a mighty stream. Our nation has departed so far from God that Dr. Carson´s words are like rain in a desert land.

Isn´t it sad that we have so few proud Americans willing to stand up and speak up ?

If Carson doesn´t want to be prez, how about senator ? If Zippy was smart and we know he isn´t, he would put Carson in his Cabinet.

I added the tv movie made about him, Gifted Hands:The Ben Carson Story, starring Cuba Gooding Jr to my netflix list and will move it up. I´ve read a brief summary of his life and it should be very interesting. Every interview I´ve heard with him is so encouraging. Such a contrast to Obama, night and day.

I know what I´ll be doing on Friday night. This should be good TV.

Reply 1 - don´t forget that the democrat party pays a few people to be a web presence of hundreds if not thousands, directed specifically to respond negatively and mock those they don´t like. They join something like Lucianne or respond to newspaper articles, using different user names and email addresses with directions to cause havoc.

The days of one person, one opinion are gone. How many different email addresses do you have? and you´re legit.

We streamed "Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story" last night and watched it with renewed perspective. Cuba Gooding did a fine job portraying Dr. Carson.

This man IS presidential material because he is sane. He is rational, Godly, reasonable, committed to certain core conservative values and fearless - his strength comes from God, which he is the first to admit.

Dr. Carson said in an interview that "if God grabs him by the collar", viz running for POTUS, he would do it. Well, God does use other human beings to do His work so let´s begin the draft process for Dr. Carson for POTUS.

The Left will try tearing him apart as they always do, but you can be certain that a black conservative, successful Republican would be the Left´s worst nightmare. They tried it with Clarence Thomas, with Michel Faulkins, J.C.Watts, and they´ll try it again.

But Carson is different; he´s got a long track record of helping people, saving babies and doing good. Watching the Left go after him would be worth the price of the ticket because they would lose.

Dr Carson appears to be a fine, principled man, an exceptional speaker, with great insight and the courage of his convictions. Truly a motivational person.

Having said all that, it disturbs me to read psters on this forum suggesting that he run for senator, and even president.
Have we stooped down to become low information voters?
People, beyond Dr. Carson´s exceptional qualities as described above, what makes anyone think that he has the qualifications, ability, inclination, and even competence to hold public office--especially that of President?
Public office should not be a celebrity poularity contest. After we have been pounding on Obama´s inexperience and incompetence to be POTUS for the last 6 years, are we to now do the same with Dr. Carson?
I greatly admire the man, but not as POTUS.

Hubby can´t always take Hannity´s pontifications, but I´ll definitely DVR this one for later, and maybe he´ll watch with me.

Watching the professional Left´s hysterics and histrionics over Dr. Carson reminds me of the scene in the Wizard of Oz, where Dorothy pours a bucket of water over the Wicked Witch´s who´s on fire.... intending to do a good thing, but actually doing a REALLY good thing quite inadvertently. We need more Dorothys drowning out the Left´s destructive fires.

I would welcome an honest conservative candidate for POTUS who had not chosen to make a career out of politics, and was successful in his chosen line of work.

I think that was what the old white guys who set up this government over 250 years ago tried to do.

People who spend their entire life in politics (including community organizing) don´t have a clue about the real world because they have never lived in it.

Reagan was a successful actor before he entered politics, and that worked out well.

Like most others here, I will be watching Hannity on Friday with anticipation. Dr. Carson "warms the cockles of my heart" when he speaks, and I feel hopeful again.

#3 is so right - "our problem is high sin voters". It seems that both Protestant and Catholic churches have leaders who are compromising God´s will by deviating from His Commandments. Personally, I think that the big Ten (I don´t mean basketball teams) are perfectly clear. I believe one of those big Ten tells us not to lie; so if we applaud a leader who lies like a rug, what does that say about us as a nation?

I say "Carson for President".

Carson can´t become POTUS over night. It will take time and he will be properly vetted - by all of us.

And, I hope Cal Thomas has gotten things out of his system by now. His concern about the inappropriateness of Carson´s comments at the National Prayer Breakfast have merit. But we´re moving on now.


Reply 17 - Posted by: Arby, 2/14/2013 8:44:52 AM     (No. 9175632)

The left attacks him because he represents the direct opposite of Fauxbama. He´s a person of real accomplishments. Every day he bears heavy responsibilities and his successes and failures are obvious. There is transparency. There is no delegation of responsibility, no tolerance of lies. What you see is what you get. No obfuscation and pure common sense. And he´s right: we already have too many lawyers.

Dr. Carson should NOT be hidden away in the Senate or Congress.

He is doing what is best by speaking out - all over the public media - educating the lofos.

He should take it to the girls on The View, take it to Letterman, Colbert and especially Stewart, take it to inner-city schools and ivy colleges.

Agree with #3. We have a country who has fallen so far away from God, I think it is ludicrous to keep asking for His blessings. When I pray I ask Him for mercy.
I also ask Him to send us good and decent individuals to govern us. I think my prayers have been answered with Dr. Carson and few others. I´ll keep praying for more.
All I can say is Judgement Day will certainly be interesting. I´ll bet that many of our current crop of ´leaders´ will be standing before the Lord with what I call the ´E-Trade Baby Surprised Face´.
I hope they´ll be wearing diapers ´cause thy´re going to need them.

As head of pediatrics, Dr. Carson has more governing and management experience than Obama does today, seeing as has yet to do any of that. That being said, I would very much like to see him enter public life, as a representative, Senator, or Cabinet appointee (HHS?). Wouldn´t it be great if he became a role model - people spend their lives doing something great, building expertise, gaining wisdom, and then enter public life to serve the people when it is most appropriate instead of the career lawyers/politicians we have now?

The very best, most dramatic, no explanations needed, antidote for the ravaging poisons of stealth Communist Obama, is to see and hear clearly more and more of the fantastic black culture that we have in every city and village of America, and all of them, millions of them, speaking up that same way Ben Carson speaks up. Ben Carson is truly an accomplished member of our society, but we need every level of accomplishment to speak up. Every righeous non socialist human being in America, needs to speak up. Vox Pop. We´ve got to verbally
beat down the would be golfing dictator, all his Marxist comrades and the entire main

Dr Carson is a communicator. He can explain complex medical concepts and goals to frightened parents.
He leads a large team of people (JHU Pediatric Neurosurg.) to accomplish great things. A great man once said it´s amazing what can get done when you don´t worry about who gets the credit. He won´t worry about getting the credit, "his legacy".
If he answers God´s call to heal our nation, then he will answer, "Here I am Lord. Send me."

I don´t fear the storm that is coming from the left in order to destroy Dr. Carson´s threat to Obama and their progressive agenda. They will be as visicious wolves, but the real threat will come from the republicans who see Dr. Carson as a threat to their power and control. They can´t just have anyone rise to the position of a possible candidate for President without paying their dues to the party machine and political consultants. They can´t have that. Admittedly, Dr. Carson is a political novice, but he is a man of accomplishment and honor and that is in short supply in this day and age. His biggest obstacle will be the fact that it won´t be his turn and we just can´t have that.

Before Carson, Rubio, cruz and Cotton are pilloried by the Dems for "drinking the water" (or whatever), I´d like them to take the initiative by condemning Obama´s administration as a dictatorship--citing examples from the headlines. That will force Zippy and Co. to defend themselves and their anti-American behavior.

I would be interested in hearing more From Ben Carson. I have only known of his work professionally since before last week. Of course the media will go after him because they are stupid and ignorant. He has a professional record for at least 40 years of helping people far more than any other person that Democrats know about. The man is accomplished in this area. As for politics? He lives in Maryland, folks. Senator? Not even House Rep. Get a grip.

However, he has a message of accomplishment, responsibility and healing. He´s more than Obama ever dreamed of being. He has a message and I hope he spreads it all over the state of MD and maybe the US.

Here in VA we have a great Black speaker and Conservative. Right now he is running for LT. Gov. in VA. There are 6 other candidates. He is dynamic, funny, intellectual and Conservative. Right this second he is going around the Tidewater and VA Beach area telling Blacks the story of what they can accomplish and be without the government. He and Ben Carson have the same story. How this translates to politics and runnning for office, I don´t know yet, but these two men are doing their part to warn the LoFoVo of what they have to lose by backing the Democrat Party

Make no mistake The Obama machine is frantically searching for the skeleton in the closet that can be blown out if proportion to mark the good doctor.

Amen # 11.
Just because Dr Carson is a gifted speaker and a brilliant neurosurgeon does not mean
he´s qualified to become POTUS.
Obama is obviously unqualified, but, two wrongs

Dr Carson is a good advocate for our side on Obamacare and we should let that be enough .
The rush to nominate someone based on a single speech makes us look silly and unserious.
Like the Democrats did with Obama.

With all due respect, #11, you are correct in your assessment when talking about a loudmouthed retired LTC that interrogates with a pistol to someone´s head, but incorrect when talking about a man of Dr. Carson´s caliber. I sincerely hope that some of you are able to figure this out prior to becoming room temperature.

Maybe #39 is one of those people referred to by #8--those whose internet comments are meant to spread discord and mock those who the democrats don´t like.

Our Founding Fathers intended that we have citizen legislators, people of accomplishment that devoted time to governing a free people, who chose them as their representatives.

I would much prefer a man of honest accomplishment, like Dr. Carson, than any career politician, whose goal in life is to stay a career politician.

I am a recovering "lo-fo"---I believed everything the RNC declared. Now I realize how these people have caused the democrat surge by being selfish, power hungry weasels just like the Dems. They withheld money from tea party candidates who beat out the RNC faves then blamed the tea party for the loss. My rule of thumb: if both Dems and RNC belittle a candidate, then he or she is probably worth supporting.

Comments here indicate people feel Dr Carson does not have the experience to be President.
A President´s primary job is to be a leader and to pick the best people for each position
under him. It also helps to be a patriotic, ethical, honest, strong individual that commands respect, from other Countries as well as from our own citizens. The current President has none of these values, in my opinion. Lets all watch and learn Friday night. It will be the first time I watched
anything but TV sports and movies for quite a while. Could not stomach all the drivel,
even on what became P.C. Fox Cable news.
Hoping to find a dark horse in Dr. Carson,
( no racism intended ). Not much you can say today in public that isn´t considered as such. The left destroyed Mr Cain´s chances.
Let´s hope they fail if Dr Carson looks to be
Presidential material. I know virtually nothing about him except he stood up to Obama
in a public venue and that speaks volumes. We need an unafraid fighter to break the back of the tyranny we are excperiencing

At least Dr Carson is not afraid to talk about his past like a certain president. Carson speaks with common sense and heart, o speaks with forked tongue.

Why don´t we just let this shake out according to a Plan better than the one we have been following?
I am looking forward to seeing Hannity and watching Gifted Hands when it arrives in our mailbox.

As whistleblowers came forward on Capitol Hill regarding the potential cover-up surrounding the Benghazi, Libya terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2012, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney insisted the investigation was “politicized” and “non-substantive.” But he refrained from questioning the congressional witnesses making allegations that the administration has been dismissing. A reporter asked Carney at today’s briefing, “Do you question their motivation?” Carney said, “I don’t. I’m simply saying there has been an ongoing effort to politicize this. But beyond that,

AP Labels Official House Benghazi

On Wednesday, the Associated Press mischaracterized the Benghazi hearings as merely a Republican event, even though it is an official House committee investigation. In the headline of its report, the Associated Press downplayed the official hearings of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee--that has both Democrats and Republicans on it--into the failures surrounding the 2012 attacks on our embassy personnel in Benghazi, Libya. The AP characterized the official hearings as "GOP hearings," making the proceedings seem like a mere political witch-hunt.

The party that swept into power on promises of transparency and accountability scrambled Wednesday to circle wagons in an extravagant attempt to protect administration officials, the White House and the woman many Democrats hope will be their next nominee for president. Congressional Democrats strenuously tried covering up the inquiry into the botched handling and dishonest aftermath of the terrorist attack on a U.S. facility in Benghazi that left dead our ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.

First lady Michelle Obama on Wednesday said New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) suffers from adulthood obesity and is an example of why her "Let’s Move" campaign is such an important initiative. Speaking Wednesday on the "Today" show, the first lady was asked to comment on reports that Christie secretly underwent a medical operation in February to help him lose weight. "The one thing I will say is that there are millions of people like the governor who struggle with adulthood obesity, and that’s one of the reasons why ´Let’s Move´ is so important,” she said.

Ahead of the Benghazi hearings in which three witnesses are set to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade invited Fox News analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters to discuss the issue. Peters was unflinching in his criticism of the “cowardly” Obama administration — and the “establishment media” that aids it. “Is this a national security coverup?” Kilmeade asking, explaining that the witness testimony is expected to say the administration was deceitful in its handling of the situation. “The administration, facing the election, went into panic mode, wanted to contain it,”

For a good idea of how anxious Obamacare supporters are about the law´s rollout, read former White House health adviser Ezekiel Emanuel´s op-ed in The Wall Street Journal this morning: Transforming the U.S. health-care system—which is larger than the economy of France—is one of the most daunting administrative tasks government has ever confronted. There will be bumps in the road; this is inevitable.

Laugh if you must but it’s no goofier than the idea that “due process” implies a substantive right to kill a baby in the womb but not five minutes later, after it’s emerged. Bsides, Jackson Lee’s been consistent on this. Back in January 2011, right after the new Republican House majority was sworn in, she started arguing that repealing O-Care would amount to a deprivation of due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. There’s a certain ruthless logic in her reaching for the Constitution right after the Democrats’ hold on power began to slip in

Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. was the deadline for members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to propose amendments to the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform bill. There were a lot of amendments. Sen. Charles Grassley, ranking Republican on the committee, proposed 77. Fellow Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions, perhaps the leading opponent of the bill on the committee, proposed 49. Sen. Orrin Hatch proposed 24. Sen. Mike Lee proposed 23. Altogether, Republicans proposed 194 amendments, while Democrats proposed 106, for a total of 300. Reading all the amendments will take some time,

Amnesty Background Check

What good is a background check that doesn’t actually penalize criminals? Like the rest of Amnesty 2013, it exists only to aid the Democratic Party’s culture of criminality. Their concern is with a clause that would, during the background check process, prohibit immigration officials from forwarding criminal histories to law enforcement for deportation purposes. “The idea is we are supposed to be weeding out the bad apples,” said Steven Camarota, of the Center for Immigration Studies. “But the big problem with the bill is it does not require those denied the amnesty to leave the country.

An alarming feature of our current sociocultural world is the striking frequency of conversions to Islam across the entire gamut of Western private and public life: prisoners converting to the religion of peace in record numbers; women who crave the emotional comfort and feeling of security that donning the hijab or the niqab purportedly confers; disaffected youth who find purpose and meaning in attending the mosque, often becoming radicalized in the process; African-Americans reacting against Christianity as the white man’s religion and who “associate conversion

Sen.

You got two weeks to go. You got a week to go. You got a day to go, and the idea that people know that we know that they’re here, we know that their time is running out, and we’re watching them,” Carper said, describing ways the possible text

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was looking to strengthen ties with Russia as he tries to put an end to the dictatorial regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, but instead he was met with the coldest of receptions. Russian President Vladimir Putin kept Kerry waiting three hours before their meeting at the Kremlin on Tuesday and continuously fiddled with his pen as the top American diplomat spoke about the ongoing crisis in Syria. Kerry’s visit to Moscow comes as he seeks Russian help in ending Syria´s civil, telling President Putin that common interest in a stable Middle East

When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism. It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

If ponies rode men and grass ate cows, And cats were chased into holes by the mouse … If summer were spring and the other way round, Then all the world would be upside down. Once in a long while, an event evokes one of my favorite historical images: the British Army band, at Lord Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown which sealed the Americans’ revolutionary victory, playing “The World Turned Upside Down.” In this case, the event is the dramatic change over the past two weeks

The Seattle Police Department collected more than 700 guns during a buyback in January, and now city officials have a plan for what to do with them. Mayor Mike McGinn is expected to announce Tuesday that they´ll be melted into bricks carrying messages of peace, and the bricks will be placed around the city. The buyback program was announced a month after last December´s elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., by city leaders sick of hearing about gun violence.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life." CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I´m saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted,

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W. Bush years -- led by that least-credible of champions, the almost-always-wrong Darrell Issa --

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee took to the House floor Monday night and implied that the right to health care and education exists in the Constitution. Ms. Jackson Lee, Texas Democrat, also made the case that the moral authority for such services is also derived from the Declaration of Independence. “One might argue that education and health care fall into those provisions of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” she said. Ms. Jackson Lee added, “I think that what should be continuously emphasized is the president’s leadership on one single point: that although health care was not

The former governor beat Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert Busch, for the state’s 1st congressional district. The AP called the race for Sanford early in the evening, with the Republican leading Colbert Busch 54 percent 46 percent.

“We´ve had a tough go of it this last year,” Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey said Tuesday morning. “The facts are indisputable regarding the impact certain things have had on ad dollars." Dickey told analysts on the earnings call that his radio empire’s revenue was down $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 on top of a boatload of debt. Why? Parse the weasel words (“the impact of certain things”) and you’ll see that Dickey is blaming one man for the precipitous decline of right-wing talk radio’s profitability: Rush Limbaugh.
