Democrats Slam Dr. Carson for Prayer Breakfast Speech: ‘Not Appropriate,’ Says Schakowsky
Dr. Ben Carson thrilled the nation with his plain talk about political correctness, tax reform, and health insurance at the National Prayer Breakfast on Feb. 7. President Barack Obama, seated a few feet away, did not seem impressed–and neither were Democrats such as Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), who slammed Dr. Carson’s remarks as “not appropriate” on CNN’s State of the Union with donut-eating Candy Crowley Sunday morning.
Schakowsky accused Carson of using political correctness, rather than fighting it: “Well, I think that there’s a political correctness that he was trying to use to appeal to a conservative audience,” she said, shaking her head. She went on to criticize Carson for making a “political speech” in front of Obama and in a specifically religious context.
I think it’s really–not really an appropriate place to make this kind of political speech, and to invoke God as support for that kind of view. But I think of most of all the kind of message that he was giving shows a real empathy gap with where the American people are right now, and I think it’s reflective of where many of the Republicans and Tea Parties are right now, that we need to have an economy that works for everyone.
In his address, Carson had specifically avoided taking a partisan point of view, noting that the American bald eagle needed both a “right wing” and a “left wing” to take flight.

Publius Prime 
Here’s a neurosurgeon who grew up without a dad, whose mom was 13 when she got married and had more than 10 kids, who grew up in dire, abject poverty, whose mom refused to take government handouts, who succeeded in a highly competitive and demanding medical subspecialty, who created a foundation to reward hard working students so they too one day may excel, and this ABSOLUTE moron says that Ben Carson epitomizes an EMPATHY gap. Here’s a news flash Jan: if you lived to age two huindred and devoted every waking moment of the rest of your life to helping others, you still wouldn’t even approach the degree of empathy, generosity, diligence, and insightfulness that Ben Carson has. And watch me now adopt the traditional Democratic tactic here: Rep. Schakowsky: You’re a racist. No I don’t really think that, but I know with all my heart that if the tables were turned that’s exactly what bile the Dems would be spewing.
Ben Carson for President in 2016!
