Carson NON-lie best thing that ever happened to his Campaign?
Vanity ^ | 11/06/2015 | freemeorkillme

Well, well, well.

So, looks whose on the warpath. Ben Carson. Not so fuzzy and ho-hum at the moment, eh?

So, if Carson's offensive persists, do you foresee this "gotcha" Politico story as helping to boost his campaign??

A REAL black man; the total opposite of Hussein Obama the
“community organizer” who has kept racial hatred stirred up
for the past several years - until now he has just about
started the next civil war singlehandedly. Oh, and being
a 7th Day Adventist is so much worse than being either a
Muzzie at worst or a Muzzie sympathizer at best!

I need to look up info on Dr. Ben’s Pyramid Theory.

The Carson/SDA food pyramid.

There are many causes for vitamin B12 deficiency.

Surprisingly, two of them are practices often undertaken to improve health:

1. Vegetarian diet

2. weight-loss surgery.

http://chriskresser.com/b12-deficiency-a-silent-epidemic-with-serious-consequences/

A primary sign of low B12 levels is a constant lack of energy.

Oct 26, 2015 - On Friday in Miami, Trump had ripped Carson for having even less energy than Jeb Bush, whom Trump has called low-energy.

Actually, I agree with Ben on the Trans/Bathrooms. Just construct a third one for ‘Other” or All. Schools, hospitals and businesses have had this decision forced upon them by the courts. Fair or not, we have no choice now a days. Let them flush it, but in their own space, away from people who don’t agree with their way of seeing reality. Take the battle out of the bathrooms.

I swear, most the time, it looks like Dr. Carson has just smoked a full bowl of Turkish Delight Hashish. Yes, looks can deceive, especially when sitting next to to hyper-extroverted individuals like Trump or Carly.

I’m ordering a Ben Carson car magnet, through Amazon. I hate the media for trying to destroy a good man.

“How does Carson admitting that he lied about getting a scholarship to West Point help him?”

Exactly and doubling down on the pyramid thing. I think Carson is self destructing. It would have been real easy to swat both these issues away.

“Look up his “bathrooms for transgenders” too. It’s a doozy. And it’s free!”

If he worded it better, it is a good idea. A small generic bathroom is a good idea. A parent can take their kid in, a spouse or adult child assist a handicapped family member, or one of the trans mental cases can use it.

Will that "Other" restroom be for both male-to-female and female-to-male transgenders, like these two cases (Chastity Bono and Bruce Jenner)?

 

 

 

If so, will they still encounter this problem in those kinds of restrooms?

Kira Markam would make an excellent guest on Coast to Coast. She could even bring her Flying Saucer-Captain father, and her 100% earthling boyfriend to back up her story. She, as cute as a Pixie, looks like Peter Pan’s teenage sister.

Yes, this was a ploy by Ben Carson to make him look as Presidential as Hillary.

Two possible solutions to stall peeping: #1. Razor Wire, like in Hungary #2. A ventillated dome made of highly reflective fiberglass covers the top of the occupied stall. The dome takes a photo of any face or hand that appears in front of it, and uploads the peeper’s picture onto YouTube under catagory of Jeepers, Peepers!!.

Nope, as usual in your daily desperation to find an excuse to attack Carson, you swallowed the Media smear job hook, line and sinker.

Turns out the liar is Politico not Carson. Another embarrassing accusation for you to retract.

At the end of my twelfth grade I marched at the head of the Memorial Day parade. I felt so proud, my chest bursting with ribbons and braids of every kind. To make it more wonderful, We had important visitors that day. Two soldiers who had won the Congressional Medal of Honor in Viet Nam were present. More exciting to me, General William Westmoreland (very prominent in the Viet Nam war) attended with an impressive entourage. Afterward, Sgt. Hunt introduced me to General Westmoreland, and I had dinner with him and the Congressional Medal winners. Later I was offered a full scholarship to West Point. I didn’t refuse the scholarship outright, but I let them know that a military career wasn;t where I saw myself going.

Here's what he said in his book, "My Life", p36:

All because I wanted to be like Curtis.
I was so proud to lead the Memorial Day parade, a heavy cluster of medals and braids on my chest. I got to meet two Vietnam War veterans who had won the Congressional Medal of Honor, as well as Gen. William Westmoreland. Later, I was offered a scholarship to West Point, which I eventually turned down. It flattered me, though, and proved that Mother was right all along when she constantly told me I could do anything I set my mind to.

In the nest chapter he talks about his hard work paying off and dozens of colleges offering him scholarships. He narrowed his choices to Yale and Harvard.

I had the book sitting here but hadn't read it and didn't intend to read it, not that I didn't respect Dr. Carson, but if I read every book by every political writer, it's impossible. I read the web.

Now Rush is saying the Politico story is an outright lie. But it seems to be about saying the campaign gave Politico something which they didn't.

Rush is defending him. I just wrote what he said. Make up your own mind.

Except that neither West Point or the Army or anyone else has found any evidence that an appointment was ever offered to begin with much less turned down. So I'd say I'm not the one doing the swallowing.
