Politico: Carson lied about admission to West Point.

[Skylar]

If so he's done. Bad news for Clinton.

I wonder how orchestrated the GOP primaries are. We all know that Carson and Fiorino and Huckabee don't stand a chance but clearly they are in the race for a reason. Maybe Carson purposely lied and that's going to be the supposed reason his numbers drop and he's forced to drop out. And they'll say, "why didn't a lie cost Hillary the nomination too?".

You'll sacrifice a pawn to take out our Queen.

Given that the GOP record for convincing the electorate to vote for their candidate has a record of 1 in the last 6 elections....probably not.

well, apparently you're not the only one with the messiah complex...

OK so Crucify me....

 

[washamericom]

one red flag is west point furnishing confirmation so easily, they're still college records right ? seem a bit sketchy.

The news that has come out is that when he was 17, he was told he could get a scholarship. His campaign has denied the allegations made by Politico. So, it would be helpful to actually see what he wrote. I haven't read it - have you?

And again, in terms of seriousness, whatever Carson wrote 20+ years ago based on his memories of being 17 pales in comparison to hiLIARy's NDA and email scandal.

Yup all the lefties are jumping on his "lie" while completely ignoring Hildebeasts many lies and her incompetence over Benghazi.

In their biased partisan eyes her lies and incompetence aren't there at all.

Partisan hacks every one.

Indeed. The leftards are hyperventilating over Carson saying he was "offered" a scholarship at a Memorial Day dinner...and yet they are completely incurious as to the identify of the people who paid for Obama's education.

If you want to start another conspiracy thread about Obama's student loans, feel free. But as an attempt to change the topic that was a little.....obvious.

Westpoint doen't offer a 'full scholarship'.

I'm not sure of the date of this ad but it certainly says West Point offers "scholarships" Ben Carson may actually be vindicated over this latest flub but there are so many others that need answering first.

nice find thank you

I saw the article about carson on yahoo. In the comments, all the right wing dingbats posting the same thing. Like unto "politico, who trusts politico, what about benghazi, lefties are jealous, this proves lefties are commies. This guy's making too many booboos. Lying about being a juvenile delinquent and stabbing a friend; now the naval academy stuff; hey, how about when he said the egyptians used the pyramids for grain storage? He's starting to make palin sound almost intelligent. Maybe he'll make her his running mate

 

[easyt65]

News on the radio is now reporting Carson campaign did not concede details in Politico article and Politico has admitted some claims are in dispute, that Carson mught not have claimed to have a West Point scholarship.

Seems like the truth has not fully been flushed out in this political storm. Waiting to get all the real facts....

(Observation: Americans are SO quick to pass judgement.... As long as there is some ACCUSATION exists, that's enough for some to pass judgement and comdemn....)

 

[TyroneSlothrop]

The Wing nut sphere is "splitting split hairs" on behalf of "West Point Ben"....

 

[washamericom]

heh, that's pretty good, steer clear of thorny crowns.
you're hoping west point ben will catch on as a saying like "so fetch" in mean girls.
not going to happen heysoos.
btw your jesus with cigarette looks more like edward snowden.

That's not the claim. The claim offered in this thread was that she made claims about dodging fire in Afghanistan.

Did the poster 'misspeak'. Or did the poster lie?

you're arguing about which country she made the story up about ? or you think bosnia is in afghanistan ?

Go back and read the thread.

it's a thread herring sky, it's over. starkey will explain it to you. sorry amigo, it was fun while it lasted.
No, Ben Carson Didn't Lie About West Point. It's Another Media Hit Job.

Interesting, have you got something besides a fanatical right wing blog site giving an agenda driven hack opinion?

As opposed to the democrat journalist character assassins who wrote the entire lie in politico?

The article was based on a letter from the Carson campaign.

 

[Iceweasel]

The breaking news is that Carson's campaign says that Politico is lying.

No but it's what he thought they meant. If he knew they didn't why would he say they did? Think!

They don't offer any free education to anyone until they've at least applied.

Carson never did. Think.

 

[Weatherman2020]

If so he's done. Bad news for Clinton.

Politico tries to lynch innocent black man, film at 11.

There is nothing in Carsons statement that even hints at the accusation. MSM in their usual BS lies.

 

[easyt65]

Liberals engaging in the lie-based 'Politics of Personal Destruction'? Say it ain't so.... Politico has been busted and just LIST ALL CREDIBILITY ...except as a POS liberal rag!

The 4 Types Of Conservative Reactions To Carson’s West Point Fail



The conservative landscape was divided after the Ben Carson campaign admitted that his stories about an offer to attend West Point on a full scholarship were false.

 

[tinydancer]

Hannity is telling it a lie

Politico has just affirmed that they are a lying left wing hack site with no credibility at all.

*clearing my throat*

And again, its irrelevant. See, many conservatives suckle at the supple teet of Confirmation Bias like it were mother's milk. Any source that is critical of Carson is immediately ignored because its critical of Carson. The veracity of the criticism, the evidence support it, even Carson admitting it is all irrelevant.

Its just another 'hit piece' from the 'leftist media' or some such nonsense. And they'll ignore it. You can't use evidence to convince people who have no use for evidence.

*resting my mic gently on the floor*

Nope this article is an outright lie. So pic up your mic and sing "this is America", Ben Carson's campaign song. Haha

This is right up there with NBC editing the Zimmerman 911 call to make him sound like a racist.

 

[bendog]

I think it's odd, and bit frightening, that apparently Carson is being undone by his aggrandizing of his story. Carson's over the top, but really they all do it. But, I thought at some point Americans would notice the guy is not only whack off the charts on social issues like abortion or gays, but he has crazy town views on things like the freaking pyramids. Even Pat Robertson is more lucid when it comes to the age of the earth and dinosaurs.
