Oh boy. I knew this would happen. People will now go after every thing Carson has ever claimed...words that come right from his own book.

[re_nortex]

This is just another high-tech lynching from the party of the Ku Klux Klan and the equally anti-negro Woodrow Wilson. The hussein-run leftist lamestream drivebys did the same to J.C. Watts, Clarence Thomas, Mia Love and Herman Cain.

[RginTN]

The kkkmedia is really going after blacks who escaped their dem plantation.

Well, we knew it would happen once the GOPe got him ahead in a couple of polls. The goal all along was to try to knock Trump out, substitute Ben. Then, take out Ben, substitute Cruz (have you noticed all the Cruz-friendly stories in the WSJ, National Review, etc lately?). In this scenario, once they had Cruz in, they would take him out and substitute Rubio, who is their (now) favorite, since Yeb has collapsed.

Don't anyone think this is all happening now by accident. There is a reason it didn't come out till they could say "Carson leading Trump in the polls."

Yes, just like the MSM vetted Obama. /s

[conservaKate]

It does seem to me that Carson has *enhanced* events to make a better story about himself. To me ... it’s looking like a Brian William’s sort of deal ... where you exaggerate for the sake of a story. That’s fine for you and me around the water cooler at work. But *enhancing* as a tv news person or a politician running for office ... not particularly a smart move.

I have other concerns about Carson ... mainly where he stands on issues important to me. The latest drip, drip, drip of Carson’s stories not quite adding up ... yeah, they’re not exactly improving my opinion of Dr. Carson.

[DoodleDawg]

The press or a debate moderator could kill Carson with one question:

"Dr. Carson, you advocate a flat tax of 10% to 15% or more with no deductions. Because of deductions and tax credits, an average family of four earning around $48000 a year pay no income taxes. Many more pay less than 15% of their income in taxes. For the majority of Americans who's taxes you will be raising, what do you say to them to convince them they should still vote for you?

[House Atreides]

I am wearying of this mainstream media jihad against Carson. Carson had, IMHO, the right defense against these attacks by asking the media why they didn’t ask about Obama’s records in 2008. The answer is clear...they wanted to find nothing negative about Obama but are doing all in their power to harm Carson. It’s the old double standard rearing its head.

[conservativejoy]

Carson can whine about the media checking his truthfulness, but he has gotten away with massaging and embellishing his life story for a long time.

In one of his Mannatech videos he credits the company with funding his endowment chair ($2.5 Million) at Johns Hopkins. When the Mannatech connection became a liability, his campaign said that Carson was confused.

When one makes bizarre statements like he did about the pyramids, one is inviting scrutiny. BTW, the SDA false prophetess, Ellen G. White, has a pyramid symbol on her grave stone, so maybe there is a connection to her teachings and his pyramid belief.

[NYer]

Oh boy. I knew this would happen. People will now go after every thing Carson has ever claimed...words that come right from his own book.

Another "media" lynching, much like they did to Clarence Thomas and Herman Cain. Meanwhile, no challenges have ever been raised by them over Obama's sealed student records, much less his questionable birth certificate. Where was the msm when Obama said: "If you like your health care provider, you can keep your provider." They fawn over O and his save the planet policies while he and Michelle are burning up fuel on their worldwide travels, vacations and golf outings.

Dr. Carson is precisely the role model young black men need on how to overcome adversity and rise above the fray. Sickening.

Here's what the good doctor has to say.

That poses a thread to liberal media. Go Ben!

[Kid Shelleen]

It’s disgusting. Somehow a man who can cure children of horrible diseases is a villain. Some of the people criticizing Dr. Carson are not worthy to change the bed pans of his patients.

[kjam22]

There are two sides to this story. #1 there is no doubt that the media will go after him harder than they do any democrat. #2 If he wrote a bunch of junk in his book that isn’t true, then you know.... it is what it is.

[lentulusgracchus]

You're right, this turned into an ugly scene damned fast. The old feeding frenzy -- and our FRiend is right, the dogwhistle tooted just as soon as someone phonied up a poll to put Carson ahead of Trump so they could say "Trump's over" because Trump's beating them like a drum.

Notice how coverage of Trump has collapsed while they lynch Dr. Carson? The change from 10 days ago is dramatic.

[Above My Pay Grade]

And the still have not proven a single lie.

[Cyman]

I don’t believe Carson is a black man, he is just posing. He is really a single,white, farrier from Las Cruces

Has anyone seen him in the rain which would make his spray tan streak?

I didn’t think so.

[FR_addict]

It doesn’t make sense to be pulling his book apart There really isn’t any reason to doubt it’s accuracy for things that happened more than 50 years ago. It’s weird that he’s arguing that he had a bad temper and almost hit his mother with a hammer and the press is arguing the opposite. I read his book quite a while ago and enjoyed it.

When my daughter was told she could be offered a West Point scholarship, we didn’t think about it as not really being a scholarship. I thought it was an honor. He teacher was one of the people who could recommend students. I don’t remember exactly why he could. It’s not only your Congressmen. I think he had taught there or something. Her grades were very good, but I’m sure Ben’s were better. This wan more than 20 years ago and I can’t remember the details. But she wouldn’t even consider it. She didn’t want to be in the military.

(I wish I had considered the military and appreciate your service. My son joined the Army and would have loved to have been offered the same West Point position.)

Recently, there’s plenty to question Carson about. He supports Obama’s trade deal that was crafted in secret.

I haven’t heard him renounce his top aide’s, Armstrong Williams, praise of Farrahkan and Nation of Islam.

I haven’t heard anyone question him about Sharpton and second guessing the police officer in Ferguson.

I felt like he lied in the debate when he said there wasn’t a relationship with Mannatech. He definitely praises the company’s products and implies the products cured his prostrate cancer, even though he had prostrate surgery.

Glyconutrients is a named coined by Mannatech and means sugar nutrients. I don’t believe Americans have a deficiency of sugar in their diet. He is telling desperate people with cancer that they may be cured of cancer if they would only take Mannatech’s products. There isn’t any scientific evidence of the products being good for curing cancer and the rest of the company’s claims. He has to know that people admire and respect him and will believe in the products curative effects because a highly respected neurosurgeon is extolling their effectiveness. This is not the same as giving a speech to some group and talking about his life story or something else motivational.

[Tanniker Smith]

I’m having doubts it was about a YouTube video...

[caveat emptor]

People will now go after every thing Carson has ever claimed

"People"?, as in "Power to the People"? Nah. It's the media, just stirring pot, disrupting the GOP. They'll get around to your favorite boy soon enough - after they get him nominated, Kaboom, they'll turn on him with 50+ years of louche quotes and behavior. Sample:

"You know, it really doesn't matter what the media write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of a$$."

[I want the USA back]

All this suddenly discovered, minutes after Carson hits the top in the polls.

The left has a vast stockpile of accusatory material on every republican who can be a threat. They bring it out at a time calculated to best destroy the republican.

[savedbygrace]

The reporter really worked hard on this story, interviewing 6 people before drawing a conclusion. Wow, what a tough job.

[MNJohnnie]

Burden of proof rests on the accusers.

New day, same smear tactics. Sorry “News Media” you don’t get to publish a smear and demand the victim prove your smear untrue.

The standard is you have to have proof before you publish. That you were unable to find proof is not proof of absence

That supposed “Conservatives” Campaign activists here have adopted these Leftist smear tactics raises serious questions.

Are they really “Conservatives” or just Leftist disruption bots?

Now watch them freak out because the same tactics they are using against Carson have been directed AT them
