“They want to shut us up completely, and that’s why the attacks against me have been so vicious,” Carson said on the Mark Levin radio show. “I represent an existential threat to them.”
An “existential threat” is when Jean-Paul Sartre, polishing his coke-bottle glasses, shows you around a room with Second-Empire decor and a single door, and reminds you how horrible it would be to spend the rest of eternity locked in there with only two other people for company.

This is where liberals are at a real disadvantage because a right-winger could justify invading Ben Carson and stealing his oils.
Well, c'mon now. He must be an existential threat - he's every bit as effective as Kim Jong-Un...
Sadly, I have already made the blog-claim that a "existential threat" is John-Paul Sartre warning you that he's feeling a bit queasy and could easily throw up.
Also too.
René Descartes telling you he doesn't think much of you.
To be viable, the threat must induce fear and trembling.
Not just lack of existence? SHEESH. Ok, he also chucks a cold and hungry rat in your trousers.

That is being remade as the Sean Hannity show, in which a lonely, mentally ill protagonist talks incessantly to imaginary crabs.
Meanwhile, over at whiskeyfire, some old Herr Dr guy says;

Slightly edited.
I am shocked to find plagiarism going on at whiskeyfire, but what can one expect from a blog where they can't spell 'whisky'?
El Manquécito means "Riddled" does he not?
You'll stay here and like it, young man.
