Ben Carson’s past called into question again as claims he hid white classmates during race riots

On Friday, a new media report scrutinized two more stories from the neurosurgeon-turned-politician.

Last month, Carson detailed how he protected his white high school classmates the day after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1968 assassination. Violent race riots ravaged Detroit’s Southwestern High, which enrolled more black students than white students.

Carson, a junior lab assistant with a key to the school’s biology workroom, shepherded his frightened friends to the lab to shield them from the violence, he told the Wall Street Journal.

he newspaper spoke with a half dozen of Carson’s classmates and his high school physics teacher: Not one remembered his heroic hideaway.

“It may have happened, but I didn’t see it myself or hear about it,” Gregory Vartanian, who served in the junior ROTC with Carson, told the Wall Street Journal Friday.

- Obama long-form birth certificate? Non-existent.
- Columbia, Occidental, and Harvard records? Non-existent.
- IL state Senate records? Nope.
- Visit to Pakistan in the 1980s when Americans weren’t allowed to go? No record
- Mysterious Pakistani man sitting next to Obama on couch? Dave’s not here.
- Tony Rezko? Who dat.


It’s infuriating that the media is part of the coverup of everything Obama.

You Trump comments are false.
Trump has consistently gone after Hillary More than any other Gop candidate !

Name all the time Carson has said anything ?

So are Pro Amnesty and cheap labor express like Carson ??
Do you want the Soros - Obama Treason TPP treaty like Carson ?..
TPP destroys the US jobs and sets up a International tribunal to flood the US with foreign cheap labor and good and wipe our our US laws !
Carson supports that !
Do you ? Carson supports limits on gun ownership ! br /> Do you ???

Tell us what is do wonderful about this strange guy funded by secret PAC funds from anonymous donors !!
Or are you just here to help the DC Uniparty like most Trump haters ?

“I wouldn’t be able to remember the exact numbers of all the courses I took in school.”

Me neither. But neither of us were writing our autobiography, and I can tell you that I for one wouldn’t write an autobiography where I just guessed at stuff, but would go back and look at my records to get the exact details correct.

So now you have to conclude one of two things: 1.) either Carson was making stuff up, or 2.) he didn’t give a crap about getting his facts correct. Basically, Carson appears to have written the same kind of half-baked BS autobiography like Obama did, and the only reason people are defending Carson is because Carson chose to put an “R” after his name.

Carson should definitely continue to bring up the contrast with Obama at every news conference and interview he gives. This is an opportunity in disguise. The media could say nothing in response as he went off on them last night and a continued reminder of their dereliction may eventually shut them up for good. :)

Touchie, touchie.

You’re the one that said it’s a verified lie because “sources” told the WSJ.

Being you said it’s verified maybe you should verify their source.

Daily News should edit their articles more carefully if they want them to be more credible:

Carson's brother restrained him before he could hit their mom, while Carson's knife shit Bob's belt buckle, stopping the stabbing.

Do you support amnesty like Carson ?
Do you want massive illegal amnesty like Carson ?...
Do you want the treasonous Soros Obama TPP treaty like Carson ?
Do you support the handing over of our countries sovereignty to a international tribunal like Carson ?..
Do you support the massive crony capitalism , destruction of US jobs, and influx of cheap foreign labor in the TPP like Carson ?????
Do you support Carson Gun ownership limitations
Do you support Carson on this ?..

Can you tell us about the millionaires flooding Carson's PAC with Dark Funding?.

All of Carson stances are pure DC establishment so why support the guy ?
Or ..
Is Carson just a convenient way to help the DC fat cats help take out Trump ?.

“Being you said it’s verified maybe you should verify their source.”

Not necessary. I could care less. I was never a Carson supporter to start with because he’s basically just another RINO when you examine his positions, so I really don’t care what kind trouble he gets in for his questionable claims and insane theories about the pyramids. Always thought he was a GOPe Trojan horse anyway, so perfectly happy to see him nuked early in the game.

The counterattack for Mr. Carson is obvious - call the media punks racists.

In posts like this one, Ya’ can distinguish the old ones from the young ones by the answers/comments. Not all fall into categories, but a lot do. Younger people don’t know enough true history and are strangers to common sense. But when it’s a lib on here.... it’s plain stupidity.. and regurgitating what they’ve heard. There is NO common sense in a liberal.

If a news outlet decides to tell lies, or whatever they do to try to take out a conservative, don’t give the lies credibility by talking about it past the first defense and declaration of the truth. Then turn the tables on that media.... spend the time and effort taking it to them. Turn them into the childish creatures they are portraying themselves as...

Until they take on obama or hillary, they have no room to be heard by anyone. Carson should tell them that.. turn it around and accuse them... don’t defend.. go on the attack! They aren’t bothering Trump right now... they have said they don’t want him to go after them.... so quit being nice and GO AFTER THEM!
Ask why haven’t they investigated hillary’s phone records... why haven’t they reported she should be held for opening up secret emails to the world.. (that’s treasonous) and let 4 decent, good men be killed. That she lied. Why haven’t they found out what obama knows about benghazi? There is so much stuff to go after.. and they are going after Dr Carson’s book??? Give me a break! They forfeit their rights until they take care of the worst of the offenders! Go after the media.. the reporter asking those dumb questions... don’t take it.. don’t explain... don’t defend... ATTACK!

because.....Being nice rarely wins.

Of course he didn’t. Trump’s been busy prepping and doing rehearsals for his appearance on SNL tonite, lol. It’s almost showtime!

I hope Carson comes out swinging at the next debate.

Wish I were his coach: I’d tell him to hit where it hurts most!

Some Dallas lawyers are raising 10s of thousands of dollars as a reward to confirm info or worse on Carson.

Thank you so much. I appreciate you granting me permission to support whom I choose.;) I had no idea you knew me well enough to know that I am mindless or uncritical.

I don’t trust the WSJ any more than I trust any other publication or media outlet. These days, I look at the source of a news story and see how things play out. Then I can look back and say...They were right about that.

As for researching what Yale offered or didn’t offer, since I consider this yet another tempest in a teapot...I doubt I’ll spend much time on research.

I really don’t like seeing ANYBODY assassinated by the press. I’m not buying what they are selling.

“and get back to us” Is there more than one person on your computer or are you Royalty?

Carson needs to reverse this in the manner of Clinton. Come out publicly and tell the country of a vast left wing conspiracy that hates blacks who go off the liberal plantation. Send the idjits running off to talk to Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell by throwing their names into the mix of how a free thinking black man is “lynched”.

It's not about Obama. We expect more of our candidates, even though they don't always deliver. We should be THANKING media for exposing Dr. Carson's tenuous agreement with accuracy in describing his past.

Dr. Carson is unelectable. His imagine was based on honesty and humility. Oops.
