Ben Carson: Toure Is "Unintelligent"
— Ace

Toure, whose area of expertise is Being Black, attacked Ben Carson as an Uncle Tom, someone who exists just to "assuage white people's guilt" about being racist. Incidentally, this is exactly what he said about Herman Cain, too. So, in addition to saying stupid things, he also recycles all of his stupid things. He is uncreative in his stupidities.

Ben Carson addresses that on Megyn Kelly starting at around 1:55. He calls the sort of people who cannot address actual policy and philosophical questions and who are thus required to only speak in personal attacks, "unintelligent."

Rush Limbaugh also addressed Toure, calling him a young fool.

I don't know why people say "young" as an insult. First of all, Toure is not that young. He was born in 1971. Yes, 1971. When Toure was born, George Harrison's All Things Must Pass was the number one album.

He is actually becoming far too old to gracefully play the juvenile.

Second of all, "young" has no good effect as an insult on people. Young people love calling themselves young. Meghan McCain can't write type a single column without congratulating herself on being young, as if she worked real hard to arrive at her current age.

I'm sure Toure, who actually departed the category of "young" before Lost debuted, is delighted to be called young.

Just saying, it's not an effective insult to call people by things they consider compliments.

He's an idiot. Let's leave it at that.

You can also try "punkmouth."

1 Toure is just clarifying it's bad to be a black person at an organization that is primarily white; as black people in those situations don't count and shouldn't be listened to... He of course says this from MSNBC known for the various shades of white that their on-air personalities possess... with only one or sometimes two exceptions. Is it impolite to point out the obvious idiocy of his argument to him? it probably is isn't it?

3 Anyone younger than me is "young". Foolish is a separate category. Calling someone a "young fool" implies a certain hope that additional experience will beat the fool out of the young as they become older. In Toure's case, that's being charitable.

4 As a guy also born in 1971, I can also assure you that it isn't young.  Or at least it doesn't feel that way.
