Politico: Carson lied about admission to West Point.

[LordBrownTrout]

The contortions by the libs and media are amazing. Turns out he didn't even lie. Now, clinton can lie about emails and its all good.

How can claiming he was offered a scholarship when no scholarship was offered not be a lie?

If I say:

"I was offered a full scholarship to Cornell." (I never was, really)

Am I telling the truth? wtf?

In your exact scenario, no, you aren't telling the truth.

And Carson said

"I was offered a full scholarship to West Point."

But he wasn't.

Therefore you cannot say he was telling the truth.

You're correct but there is some ambiguity to the whole story.

Correct.

And Carson has admitted as much.

There’s a world of difference between being offered a ‘full scholarship’ and an ‘informal offer.’

Rain Man should be in a rubber room!

Leftwing turds always think it's "bizarre" whenever someone points out their lies and hypocrisy.

She was quoting Carson word for word, dumbass.

So where did Carson claim he applied at West Point or went to school there?

West Point does not make the offers ahead of receiving applications. Carson never applied.

In truth,

the real story here is Carson thinking he's above having to endure the scrutiny that any frontrunner for the nomination, or candidate for the presidency is going to undergo.

He's petulant, whiny, sanctimonious, and pouty. Be a man, Ben.

Jesus Christ, you CAN get more retarded. Unbelievable.

Pay attention:

1. Carson said he was offered a full scholarship.
2. He was never offered a full scholarship.
3. He lied.

Carson simply used inaccurate terminology. So what? That hardly justifies this Jihad against him. It's obviously a smear campaign designed to knock him out. The last think Frau Hillary wants is to go against the first true black candidate for President. That deflates her whole "I will be the first woman president" shtick.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Military Academies do not offer scholarships...they offer appointments. It is not uncommon for a connected military personnel or politician to meet or be introduced to a prospective student and encourage him or her to apply and say, "I can get you in if you apply" or, "your credentials are sure to get you an appointment to the academy." Something along these lines took place with Dr. Carson and he referenced that in his autobiography as a scholarship offer.

This is not a lie. The Left is desperate to smear a Black Conservative that is not corrupt. This autobiography has been out there and Politico chose now to do its hit because Carson is leading. The Left will pull out all stops to keep a Black Conservative out of the White House.

How is saying you were offered something you were never offered not a lie?

Construct that scenario for us.

You're quibbling about a difference in terminology that doesn't matter. If you think anyone is going to drop their support for him over this tempest in a teapot manufactured by a leftwing hit squad, you're delusional.

Sorry, but you don't know that he was never verbally offered an appointment to West Point.

So if I claim I once worked in the CIA, but in reality I once worked at CVS,

I'm really just using inaccurate terminology...

She also lied about being shot at in Bosnia and about being named after Sir Edmund Hillary and a long long list of other things. Virtually every word that comes out of her mouth is a lie. That's why the left is so desperate to paint Carson as a liar. The contrast is so striking.

Difference in terminology. That's the best euphemism for a lie I've heard in a long time.

Oh I think I can safely speak for many many many many liberals when I say that we are quite pleased at the possibility of Carson being the nominee.

No, that would be lying. However, if I said the sunset was mauve and you said "no, it's purple," does that mean one of us is lying? That's the difference you are trying to call a lie.

One thing is certain: Politico lied about what Carson claimed in his book. He never said he applied to West Point and he never claimed he attended West Point.

I know you're used to voting for candidates who are pathological liars like Hillary and Obama. I know how bad it sucks when you have to hold your nose when you vote for these reptiles.

You have nothing until you have received an appointment to West Point. At that point you can accept the appointment or reject it

Carson never even applied

Carson is beating Hillary by 10 points in the polls. Hence the motive behind the story in Politico.

Anyone who has even had the slightest interest in West Point knows there are no "full scholarships" or partial scholarships
