The very clear difference being that Carson actually did say things that are refuted by the truth vs. you trying to read between the lines of what I said. I’m not sure what “generosity of spirit” means when applied to not accusing me of lying for something I didn’t say. In any case, I guess its nice that you seem to have progressed beyond denying what Carson said isn’t true to discussing whether or not he meant to say things that aren’t true many times over the years.
You actually said, “Physician heal thyself!”

No “reading between the lines” is necessary. Right there in black and white, just like “that day.”

The problem is an unwillingness to “read beyond the lines” to the real significance of his words relative to everything else about the man.

Put yourself in his position with generosity of spirit and a willingness to give him full benefit of the doubt. You just might see things differently.

Whereas using a pair of cheap binoculars to focus in on isolated words or events just gives a distorted image.

In any case, I am done with this topic.

Whether in this life or the next, the truth will come out.

Rhetorical question: You do believe in the truth, yes?

You are implying there is doubt that the story as he tells is untrue. There is none because the facts bear out that the key elements are not true. Not telling the truth seems to be consistent with his behavior as evidenced by his lying about Mannatech, Yale, rescuing white students from a mob of protesters, and likely his childhood anecdotes about smashing peoples faces with padlocks, stabbing someone, and bludgeoning his mother over a pair of pants.I don’t have a reason to give him the benefit of the doubt when there is none and particularly no *reasonable *doubt. How many times does a person have to knowingly misspeak before it becomes lying in your mind? How much does the story have to change before it is unrecognizable?

Wise choice.

It’s already been proven that the Politico story was bogus, but here are few things that are disliked more by the left than a black conservative. This is only the first in what will be a long line of attempts to smear Dr. Carson.

…he’s a direct threat not just to leftist narratives regarding race and class but also to the leftist stranglehold on the black vote. And for that reason alone he must be destroyed.

:rotfl:

A liberal media conspiracy is it? Perhaps the author of this article forgot that the lies were exposed by **conservative **media outlets including the National Review, which called Carson a liar in a lengthy article about his Mannatech claim.
 
I think he has a severe case of narcissistic personality disorder. That this drove him to invent things about his past that portray himself as superior, more accomplished, and even more heroic than he really is and it prevents him from admitting the truth. Even the Mannatech debacle for which there is ample proof of his relationship was like slowly peeling back an onion. He still maintains that his involvement doesn’t constitute a relationship despite the fact that he finally admitted to making promotional videos, that money changed hands for speeches, and that his face was prominently used to promote the company on their website. His ego doesn’t allow him to admit to his own falsehood and deceit. Some people think that a certain degree of narcissism is needed in some professions to have the confidence to do the job (neurosurgery being one of them), but Carson possesses it in abundance and to a fault.
This may support your theory:

Physician Heal Thyself is actually a metaphor. He wasn’t calling you a doctor.
 
Careful, EmperorNapoleon!

Charges of “narcissistic personality disorder” coming from EmperorNapoleon on the Internet just seem a little odd.

AND…

You are addressing your post to a licensed and practicing psychologist.

Yet, here you go psychologically diagnosing a well-known public figure as if you
  1. had the competency to do so, and in the unlikely event that you do,
  2. are likely contravening your own professional ethics by doing so publicly and without proper access to the patient.
Is your name really Plato?
