Ben Carson on Meet The Press

Very stupid issue.

Look, in 1945 if the media asked a politician if we should have a Japanese American President, the answer would have been: "Are you in' nuts? We're at war with Japanese enemies."

The same applies 70 years later. We're at war with Islamic extremists.

You could pour gasoline on the fire, but it's better just to leave it alone.

And that would be the equivalent of opposing Daniel Inouye for president because of Tojo.

and 70 years later you can't comprehend the difference.
