Conservative icon Ben Carson says if you want to understand Barack Obama, read Mein Kampf.

In an interview with Newsmax host J.D. Hayworth today, Ben Carson said that if people want to know the truth about President Obama, they should simply “read ‘Mein Kampf’ and read the works of Vladimir Lenin.” “Mein Kampf,” of course, was written by Adolf Hitler and is filled with anti-Communist diatribes.

Carson, a likely Republican presidential candidate who is obsessed with the conspiracy-theory-laden book “The Naked Communist,” strongly hinted in the interview that he believes Obama is a communist.

Carson has previously claimed that Obama wants to turn America into Nazi Germany and a Gestapo-like state, warning that “we live in a Gestapo age.”

    Carson is an embarrassment to the human race.

      I just made that very same comment. He really IS.

  3. Jake September 9th, 2014 at 9:30 pm

    I would bet anyone $1,000,000 dollars that this prick has never read Mein Kampf and has no idea what is really in it.

    • M D Reese September 10th, 2014 at 1:53 am

      These guys think that the Nazis were Communists because their name had “socialist” in it. (National Socialist German Worker’s Party)

      • granpa.usthai September 10th, 2014 at 5:20 am

        well, both the Socialist Parties did split the Poles for a short while.
        Hey, whatever happened to those Republicans in Congress that enjoyed prancing around in the SS uniforms?

        • M D Reese September 10th, 2014 at 9:21 pm

          I think they wear it under their street clothes these days.

      • Jake September 10th, 2014 at 6:30 pm

        One wonders what they make of the Christian Democratic Party then.

    • granpa.usthai September 10th, 2014 at 5:14 am

      a bunch of German words about Jews owning everything, Jews this, Jews that, typical everyday rantings like the Nixon White House Tapes.
      (good thing Henry had such a good sense of humor, otherwise he might have come up with an idea about breaking into a Democrat HQ office near the DC zoo).

    A Chicago lawyer and an Austrian WWI vet. Oh yeah I can totally see the parallels here.

  6. Obewon September 9th, 2014 at 10:47 pm

    Birther Ben Carson still wonders why his fluency in teabonics makes him as medically uninsurable today, as Dr. Josef Mengele was back in the day.

  7. fancypants September 9th, 2014 at 11:20 pm

    I thought it was ben’s mother who couldn’t read ?

  8. juicyfruityyy September 10th, 2014 at 12:05 am

    What an embarrassing legacy he going to leave his descendants.

    • whatthe46 September 10th, 2014 at 12:07 am

      it is now and will forever be if they continue with on with his lunacy.

  9. M D Reese September 10th, 2014 at 1:48 am

    Gad-zooks! This guy is just amazing. Perhaps to understand Ben Carson, we should read “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”.

    • whatthe46 September 10th, 2014 at 2:00 am

      you are so good… LOL.

      • M D Reese September 10th, 2014 at 10:59 pm

    Hes trolling for cash on Palins patch

    Obama is a terrible communist. Marx would be embarassed

  12. Herb Sarge Phelps September 10th, 2014 at 4:36 am

    wow for a man who, from all accounts, was an extraordinary surgeon, he sure is a failure as a human being.

  13. granpa.usthai September 10th, 2014 at 5:07 am

    don’t forget to encourage the Republicans to wait until election day to vote, Ben, that’ll show the ‘early voters’ a thing or two about Communist Nazis!

  14. RioBravoHombre September 10th, 2014 at 6:15 am

    Communists, Marxists, Nazis…Carson is completely ignorant of the meanings of any of these terms. The words sound frightening to him, and in his total ignorance, he assumes he can frighten other uneducated, ignorant people too. The more Carson speaks the more he reveals himself as totally insulated from the real world, cut off from anything except his own stupidity. The willful ignorance, the willingness to be stupid and proud of it is a defining characteristic of the modern conservative. They are as dumb as rocks, and PROUD to be as dumb as rocks.

  15. Michael L. Guss September 10th, 2014 at 6:37 am

    Carson, in just about a minute, described his own party and just slotted in the opposition. This man should be ashamed of possessing a high intellect and yet not above being bought and used by puppet masters! A bunch of bunk!

  16. OldLefty September 10th, 2014 at 6:44 am

    I said this about him before…

    While I respect his medical accomplishments, I took him for a phony when he said;

    “Will you listen? You have to take a long-term look at something that fundamentally changes the power structure of America. You have to be someone who reads. Who is well-read. I want you to go back tonight and pull out what Saul Alinsky says about health care under the control of the government.”

    Saul Alinsky did not say anything about healthcare, PERIOD, under the control of the government or not.

    That comes from a chain email that began circulating (attributed to Alinsky) in 2014.

    This is as relevant and as stupid as that. He is just repeating propaganda, and either he is grossly ill-informed or he is lying and assumes his audience doesn’t know any better.

  17. Lorraine Easterling September 10th, 2014 at 7:08 am

    He might have been an accomplished brain surgeon but he has lost it completely. He needs brain surgery himself. He can forget ever being president. He will never never never be president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Albert Einstein was a brilliant theoretical physicist and philosopher of science but outside his area of expertise I’m sure he was a clueless as this man appears to be. Although I’m sure Mr. Einstein on subjects he had little of no knowledge of would have had the intelligence to follow the advice of Abraham Lincoln “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt”.

    It’s so sad when great minds deteriorate.

    Ben Carson: To Know Obama, Read Mein Kampf

    To know Ben Carson read “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”

  21. BillTheCat45 September 10th, 2014 at 12:13 pm

    And to know Ben Carson, one only needs to look at a box of Oreo’s.

  22. txthinker September 10th, 2014 at 1:11 pm

    To know Ben Carson, read “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”.

  23. majii September 10th, 2014 at 7:42 pm

    Carson is a wacko. If we really lived in a “gestapo state,” he wouldn’t be running his mouth so freely making specious claims about the president!

  24. zmster September 11th, 2014 at 3:47 pm

    Kind of easy to tell who didn’t actually watch the video. That’s not contained anywhere in there… so we’re responding to a quote that’s not substantiated.

  25. Hot Air | Electron Pencil September 16th, 2014 at 8:51 am

    […] a tad ill-informed in certain other areas. For instance, he’s fairly certain Barack Obama is both a communist and a Nazi, he thinks America would have turned into Cuba were it not for Fox News and conservative talk […]
