Something’s wrong when you’re a successful brain surgeon and yet feel the need to indulge in Walter Mitty fantasies.
I bet you have never even read his book.
I don’t think it’s being about a successful brain surgeon. I think it’s about being a successful black man. The Dems don’t want a successful black man. I don’t plan to vote for Carson, but the media attacks on him are the lowest of the low.
I would say that perhaps something is not true about the allegations..
This is all brainless crap..idiotic parsing of a personal biography story that has no bearing on anything..These are just anecdotes from long ago and every personal bio has these things where time and places are off a bit and real names are not used for obvious reasons.
Did this book vault him into the White House? Did it make him famous? did he make a fortune from it?
No....
People wanted him to tell his story so he did. As best as he could. I I wrote mine, it would be full of errors and even some perceptions where I saw it differently then others..in fact there would be a lot of that.
What’s next.....
Will we find out that he crapped his pants in 1st grade and lied about it..
ad 1)
"No photo identifying Mr. Carson as a student ever ran, according to the Yale Daily News archives [...]"
Possible explanations:
A. Mr. Carson was indeed photographed, but the photograph was never published.
B. The Yale Daily News archives lost the issue containing his photograph.
C. The photograph appeared, but without proper identification of Mr. Carson (misspelled name, no name, etc.)
D. The photographer falsely identified himself as a member of the Yale Daily News staff, but in actual fact was a freelancer - his photo was rejected, and published instead in the "Yale Shopper."
E. Mr. Carson's memory is failing him here. He is either conflating this event with some other event during which he was photographed, etc.
ad 2: "[...] and no stories from that era mention a class called Perceptions 301.[...]
Possible explanations:
A. Newspaper accounts of that event did in fact appear, but for some reason do not mention a class called "Perceptions 301" or incorrectly identify the class.
ad 3: "Yale Librarian Claryn Spies said Friday there was no psychology course by that name or class number during any of Mr. Carson's years at Yale [...]"
Possible explanations:
A. Ms. Spies is mistaken (didn't investigate thoroughly enough; records are faulty; etc.)
B. It wasn't a Psychology course, but rather a Sociology course.
C. At the time Mr. Carson was enrolled, the course was actually called "Advanced Perceptional Psychology," but was later (while Mr. Carson was writing his book) renamed (for two semesters) "Perceptions 301" - Mr. Carson chose to use the then-current designation.
Regards,
my thoughts exactly. his life story is compelling enough even if his childhood was run of the mill.
