Ben Carson Says He's Ready To Withdraw As Johns Hopkins Commencement Speaker (UPDATE)

Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Ben Carson said Friday that he is willing not to speak at the medical school's commencement ceremony after students petitioned to have him replaced because he compared gay marriage to bestiality and pedophilia.

MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell asked if he was prepared to withdraw.

"Absolutely. I would say this is their day and the last thing I would want to do is rain on their parade," Carson replied.

He was then asked if he'd told the university that he wouldn't be delivering the commencement address.

"I am waiting for appropriate channels," Carson said. ”I don’t think television is the appropriate channel."

Carson's comment about gay marriage on Fox News Tuesday drew outrage from students and faculty. "My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. It’s a well-established, fundamental pillar of society, and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality -- it doesn’t
matter what they are -- they don’t get to change the definition," he said, referencing the North American Man/Boy Love Association.

Later he tried to clarify his remarks to The Baltimore Sun, while not really
apologizing for them.

He should stick to surgery. He sounds like an idiot on subjects like these.

There are a lot of people like him. In HL, we call people idiots a lot because of their foolish, illogical indefensible arguments on science, economics of what have you, but there a lot of people who are brilliant in some areas and jokes in other. Carson is one of those. Brilliant surgeon...moron when it comes to most political and social issues.

I know some people who have very impressive technical/engineering, problem-solving skills but sound like retarded versions of Sean Hannity when they talk about macro-issues. It's weird, but that's how it is.

He definitely needs to stick to what he does best and quit letting these conservatives put a battery in his back.

 

[Piff Perkins]

that's a pretty bad slippery slope argument, smh Carson

All he had to say is "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman." Boom, end of story - there would be no story. Instead he keeps trying to impress the far right so much that he forgets most of the country disagrees with that shyt.

Fame is so intoxicating. Pretty blatant that the lil taste of limelight got this cat gassed. Hes gone full wingnut now, and there is no telling what he'll say next to hold the attention of conservative america. This niqqa's the neurosurgery version of Rev Jesse Lee Kakerson!

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Terrible.

Ben Carson was raised Seventh Day Adventist. They are notoriously inflexible -- like JWitness or Quakers #nshyt. STRICT Christian fundies.

No, pedophilia is its own entity. Are heterosexual pedophiles (the most common kind) part of some kind of "heterosexual community" that includes you and me?

So Homosexuals cant molest and sexually touch young men and women but heterosexuals can?

Of course there are homosexual pedophiles who are attracted to children of the same sex. But those people are not part of the "homosexual community," anymore than hetero pedophiles, who, like I said, are the most common kind, are part of some kind of "heterosexual community." No one likes pedos- homosexuals included.
