Ben Carson: Bungling Surgeon

When I think of Thug Life, Ben Carson does not exactly come to mind.

 

It was in the jacket to HIS book.

 

I thought he stabbed his mother after she used all the grain in the pyramid out back. I can't keep up with this shit.

 

Yeah, I'm sure their counterparts over at Fox News would NEVER do such a thing! Precisley why nobody should be watching any of that crap.

 

Worth a read ...

Carson sought to clarify the story over the weekend, telling the New York Times, "It was, you know, an informal 'with a record like yours we could easily get you a scholarship to West Point.' "
On ABC's This Week, Carson defended his description of events when pressed by host George Stephanopoulos.
"Wait a minute George, go look on the West Point website, and you'll see those specific words, 'full scholarship to West Point,' " Carson said. "So even though it is, you know, given as a grant for anybody who gets in, those words are used. And if a recruiter or somebody who's trying to get you to come there or trying to get you to do that, those are the very words they will use. It's on their website."
Carson's claim rates Mostly True.
...
Carson's spokesperson told us that West Point has referred to their benefits as a full scholarship in publications, a point Carson made in a Nov. 8 Facebook post. He uploaded two West Point recruitment ads targeted at African-Americans that contain the word "scholarship," including one from the 1960s, when he was a student.
We did find examples of the words "full scholarship" used in publications that are linked on West Point's website, as well as some old recruiting advertisements.

PolitiFact: Fact-checking Ben Carson's defense of his West Point scholarship story

 

I can imagine someone off the street getting confused. Still wondering if he's addressed the "Westmoreland wasn't in Detroit for a parade" bit. It's too bad he's running for President. His embellishments would likely not have been uncovered if he was just a "rags-to-brilliant neurosurgeon" motivational speaker.

Who is taking $10 bet that Carson is telling the truth about the honesty award?

 

That comedian from The League makes up being in the Twin Towers on 9/11 ... hoooooooooo boy.

 

Which books and what source says so?

So far, all I've seen is that it's in a 1991 pamphlet that the editor admitted they screwed up,and on the agency's website, that nobody paid any attention to until he started running for president.

 

I think even Politico acknowledged off the bat he likely confused which event Westmoreland's was in Detroit for.

 

Does the parade or banquet make for a better setting?

 

Racists.

 

Carson ... and any other Republican candidate the lamestream media attempts to "vet" with garbage stories should simply shout: "AT THIS POINT, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?"
