All students attend WP on "full scholarship". So Carson's "full scholarship" words are irrelevant.
What is relevant to the comparison is what Carson said in the book, that he was "offered" a full scholarship, vs what Carson's people are saying now, that he was "offered help" by a sponsor.
You think that difference is a big deal?

What *I* think is a big deal is how many Freepers swallowed the Politico hit/smear-job so readily — not only swallowed it, but ran *hard* with it.
To me, it speaks more to the utter lack of faith they have in their preferred candidate than their faux-outrage over anything Carson may or may not have done decades ago.
I’m not a fan of Carson as President - nice guy, gifted doc - but I really don’t give a hoot what a liberal rag like Politico has to say about *any* candidate whether good, bad or indifferent. I automatically presume it’s leftist spin.
If there’s anything to be learned from this, I would hope the political right will start exercising a bot more discernment on MSM reports about any candidate. They can only be relied upon and trusted to spin positive about dems and spin negative about gop.
We should all be *solidly* unified and aligned against the leftist MSM propaganda machine in all regards, whether it involves our pet candidate or a candidate we hate. If we can’t even agree on that, I don’t know what we could ever agree on.
