If my opponent attacks with Benjamin, and plays Abrams servant to ur is Benjamin negated?
Or is he someone where his "ability" is a description and not an ability?

Abilities that grant CBP/CBI/CBN to other abilities function like Identifiers, and by game rule are always CBN themselves.  So Benjamin's ability to play CBN enhancements cannot be negated.

But the part of his ability that tells you to discard himself is still negated.

They're called Modifiers currently in the REG (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/downloads/REG_3.0.0.pdf), and you can read about them before the special abilities.  We tried to define things a lot better in terms of CB-, so that should be a good place for information on modifier rules.
