Maxine Waters, looking puny next to a giant

Any column defending Dr. Ben Carson from the attacks on him by Maxine Waters is obviously racist, so perhaps I should condemn myself in advance. TD

Maxine Waters Attacks Ben Carson at Town Hall, Wants to ‘Take Him Apart’

Does she mean like her constituents did Reginald Denny during the Rodney King riots?  
. . . "Waters also told the crowd that the next time Carson went before the House Financial Services Committee, she would "take him apart." Waters is the top Democrat on that committee." . . .

Yet Carson came from an even poorer background than Waters and unlike her, didn't spend his time making mega-millions since. It was that very poverty that drew him to the medical profession and all the good things he could do to alleviate human suffering.

"If there's one person Rep. Maxine Waters shouldn't bring up so as to avoid unfavorable comparisons, it's Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, who is also one of the nation's most distinguished neurosurgeons. Well,she has.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) went after Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson at a town hall on Saturday.

At the town hall in Gardena, Calif., Waters said that Carson should go back to his former profession of being a surgeon, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Waters also told the crowd that the next time Carson went before the House Financial Services Committee, she would "take him apart." Waters is the top Democrat on that committee.

"Waters is a crazy demagogue whose specialty is whipping up crowds and has a history of scandals, investigations, and corruption.

"Carson is not only one of the nation's most distinguished neurosurgeons, he's also excelling in his public service post, with billions in accounting errors rooted outon his watch within just the first few months of office. He's likeable, popular, and given the agency he heads, more than a little capable of working well across the ideological divide.

"She doesn't want to bring up someone like that to remind voters or the public of her own absence of any achievement." . . .
