For the first time ever, Donald Trump is behind Ben Carson in an Iowa poll issued early today. Trump has responded by suggested that the brains of Iowa voters have been damaged by chemicals in the corn. This, we suspect, will not go over well in the Hawkeye State. UPDATE: Deleted!

We’ll enjoy seeing The Donald spin suddenly being behind by eight points in Iowa.

Ben Carson says that he has nothing against gay people even though we’re all probably going to burn in hell for “negating the word of God” with gay marriage. And now that gay marriage is done, polygamy is coming and you might as well take the bible and “toss the whole thing in the garbage.” Listen below.

The top story on the Drudge Report today is that Ben Carson was not a Republican until just a few months before he declared his bid for the presidency. The American Mirror reports: Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump has received a lot of scrutiny for donating to Democratic politicians in the past.

“The pledge of allegiance to our flag says we are one nation under God. Many courtrooms in the land on the wall it says ‘In God We Trust.’ Every coin in our pocket, every bill in our wallet says ‘In God We Trust.’ So if it’s in our founding documents, it’s in our pledges, in our courts and it’s on …

Murdoch’s tweet is not going over well. CNN reports: Murdoch’s use of the word “real” flabbergasted many online onlookers, some of whom concluded that the media mogul was questioning Obama’s race and identity. Obama, the first black president of the United States, has also been dogged by false accusations that he isn’t a U.S. citizen. What did Murdoch mean? “We …

Via Mediaite: Still reeling from his recent assertion that he would “not just stand there and let [the gunman] shoot me” if he had been present for last week’s Oregon shooting, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson moved on to a new controversial topic during an interview with SiriusXM Patriot host and frequent Fox News contributor David Webb on Wednesday.

“Laws and regulations should be designed to address normal situations while providing special mechanisms for the creation of exceptions in abnormal situations. Changing the law governing the normal situation in order to accommodate the abnormal situation is like requiring that car seats be designed to accommodate conjoined twins as well as anatomically normal children. The more sensible thing would be …

Via Mediaite: In the 24 hours since Ben Carson said he does not believe a Muslim-American should be president of the United States on Meet the Press, there has been plenty of hand-wringing and equivocating from both his campaign and the rest of the GOP presidential field in response. But perhaps the most succinct and direct reaction came from Democratic …

Ted Cruz would like to institute his own version of Christian Sharia, so it’s not surprising that he would denounce Ben Carson for saying that a president shouldn’t intertwine his religious views with his public life. Via the Huffington Post: It’s not every day that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) publicly breaks with one of his fellow Republican rivals for the …

Thus far the fundamentalists have pretty much held back on their usual “Is he a REAL Christian?” test for Donald Trump because they’ve been so pleased with his racist attacks on immigrants. Two weeks ago when Trump declared the bible to be his favorite book yet couldn’t cite a single verse, wingnuts sites screamed with faux outrage that Trump had …

The Christian Post reports: Ben Carson modified his position on Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, and now says the government has a responsibility to accommodate her religious beliefs.
