ANOTHER GOP ALL-STAR

If you remember "I'm not a witch," you know Carson fits right in with today's GOP:
Ben Carson: I’m Not ‘Crazy

MEDIAITE

Dr. Ben Carson wants high-power Republicans to know that despite his many over-the-top quotations, he is not “crazy” and deserves a shot at running for president on the party’s ticket.

Speaking before the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting Thursday in California, the famed-neurosurgeon-turned-conservative-icon dismissed his many controversies as having been ginned up by “the liberal media.”

Among the particularly divisive claims he believes have been overblown by media: Calling Obamacare “the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery“; suggesting last year’s Veterans Affairs scandal was a “gift from God“; and saying present-day America “very much like Nazi Germany.”

“I stand by those” remarks, Carson told the crowd, according to National Journal. “I don’t think there’s anything crazy at all.”
