Exclusive: Carson claimed West Point 'scholarship' but never applied

[grotto]

What is obvious is that Carson lied in 3 books and while campaigning. It seems that much of his past is a fabrication. Who is the real Benjamin Carson?

It might be a good idea to put away your lying glasses and get some bifocals then you would be able to see the goodness in Ben Carson. The mega enlargement of a simple description made 50 years ago is the real lie! West Point refers to its acceptance program as a scholarship and describes how that is aquired by joining the Army for 4 years. Nobody gets all huffy over that - its easy to understand if you are not using lying glasses.

So the MSM runs with their latest “gotcha” and falls flat on their face. The trouble is some people latch on to the “gotcha” and repeat it. This action is called slanderous, uncharitable, mean spirited, spreading lies and as an act of calumny.

At the very least the “reporters and commentators” should be given prime time public service messages to undo their malicious speach.

Bravo!

Does the 7th Day Adventist Church still teach that the Roman Catholic Church is the “Whore of Babylon,” and the Pope is the "Anti-Christ. ? "

Jim

Yes, at least the ones I know do. It is inseparable from their belief in Ellen White as a prophet. You read some of her quotes here:

catholic.com/tracts/seventh-day-adventism

Again, she is more that the founder of this group. She is their prophet. They can no more remove her from their beliefs than Latter Day Saints could disassociate from Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon.

Nonsense!It is indesputable that he overcame a rough childhood,raised by a single Mom,who obviously instilled in him the desire to succeed,not play the victim card.He an esteemed perdiatric neurosurgeon,serving as Director of such at John Hopkins. That a few minor issues as told in his biography are being questioned as untruths,doesn’t undo all of his accomplishments.
The feigned outrage by some on here and the lefties as a whole is laughable,in light of the corrupt characters they put into office and continue to support.

He is playing the victim card along with his fellow contenders. They don’t answer legitimate questions in favor of remarking about the liberal media. That seems to be the go to answer for all questions. He’s playing it best though. The others need to catch up during the next debate.

Legitimate questions,surely you jest!Most of the questions presented were shallow in content and really nonproductive.I think most if not all the candidates did a good job of calling out the mods.They were well within in their rights to complain about the format,hopefully a new tone will be set in future debates,instead of gotcha questions.

The MSM did a great job of exposing Carson’s fabrications. Its up to him to man up and stop blaming the media for his lies. Vetting a candidate’s past is part of the process and his is checkered with made-up nonsense. The tales he tells in his books and on the campaign trail are quite different from the reality. Who is Benjamin Carson?

They are legitimate in the same way “when did you stop beating your wife?” is a legitimate question.

That’s rich,considering the current occupier in chief,if vetted properly would have been exposed of untruths of epic proportions.The media gave him a pass on everything in their effort to help put the first black man into the White House.This is the petty hypocrisy of the left and the leftist media.Any black man that doesn’t comport with their views isn’t worth any consideration.A sad statement indeed.

FYI, Obama isn’t running for re-election. Get over it.

Jim

Whether he is running or not is not the issue. The fact that he was allowed to run unimpeded by any vetting by a 90%+ media is the point.

Yeah,well he never should have been elected in the first place had he been vetted properly.Which was the point I was making.Having said that,Hillary will just be a third Obama term.

Ben Carson did answer the questions and while doing so, he presented facts showing that the journalist lied and twisted information. That’s hardly “playing the victim card”.

I don’t know, but I do know Hillary thinks it’s alright to kill babies.

And anyone who tried to vet him had accusations of racism hurled at them

Funny how that works!

The Politico has lost every shred of credibility with this last lying “hit piece” against an honorable Republican candidate. Other news services that jumped on this story without verification have made fools of themselves.

This is why more people TRUST Fox News.

Dr. Benjamin Carson is a famous neurosurgeon (I hope) who is also learning how to be a politician, just like the rest of them.

Why should non-mainstream, political party-oriented media (FOX and MSNBC) be any more reliable than mainstream media? The reality is the American public has no idea, in most instances, what the truth is based on ANY media source.

It is the issue in this thread.

If you want to open an “I Hate Obama Thread,” go ahead but I don’t think it will last long.

What are the untruths of epic proportions.
