More Ben Carson news today! You remember Doc Carson's story about the psychology test hoax that proved he was the most honest man at Yale? Well, Carson says it really happened, and the proof is on the right. It's a piece from the Yale Daily News about a parody issue of the News published by the Yale Record. Apparently the parody issue announced that some psychology exams had been destroyed and a retest would be held in the evening. Hilarious!
This makes the whole story even more fascinating. It's clear that Carson's account is substantially different from the parody. He says the class was Perceptions 301. He says 150 students showed up. He says everyone eventually walked out. He says the professor showed up at the beginning, and then again at the end. He says the professor gave him ten dollars. None of that seems to have happened.
And yet—it certainly seems likely that this is where Carson got the idea for his story. He remembered the hoax, and then embellished it considerably to turn it into a testimony to the power of God. This even makes sense. It seemed like a strange story for Carson to invent, and it turns out he didn't. He took a story he recalled from his Yale days and then added a bunch of bells and whistles to make it into a proper testimonial.

Ben Carson isn’t my guy, but man does he ever worry the democrats.
Not because he might win, but because every day he’s on the tube is another day the left can’t beat conservatives over the head with the race card.
They are really worried about getting the black vote out this coming election.
I would not give a Mother Jones story the time of day.
And yet the MSM ignore Bath House Barry’s past.

Ah, Mother Jones, that pillar of journalistic integrity. The left is pulling out all the stops.
Mother Jones? Really?
Why not just link to the Communist Party USA?
Most anything from Mother Jones is fringe lunatic liberal drooling.
Mother Jones? What is a “Conservative” doing posting Leftist attack trash pieces?
Not.

I see the GOPe attack bots are busy tonight.
skeeter FTTW!
And possibly for the Carson "controversy" win...
Beat the GOPe attack bots over the head with THAT.
I'm a Trumpster, but I'm OK with Carson. Been scratching my head over the early Carson kerfluffle.
I think skeeter pegged it.
And Ben Carson is an actual black guy, not a 1/2 white denier and 1/2 muslim extremist like the current resident.
Should we only post things we agree with and have an intellectual circle ****?
It is wise to read the left’s screeds.
The Democrat media gets even weirder, attacking a Black man because he has accomplished more than these racists have, and he did it by the grace of God and his own intellect instead of being a dependent bum all his life leeching off the taxpayers. They just can’t allow that!
Now it’s motherFjones piling on. The media is viciously attacking this man. If he becomes president it destroys the elaborate fraud they have created. They are desperate and don’t care if we see that they have no principles.
It’s the same (fornicating excrement) every election cycle. The media systematically destroys normal people and promotes America haters.
He's a noob with an agenda who signed up just to post hit pieces on Ben Carson.
For both Carson supporters and detractors, the only important question should be: Is the above claim by MJ true or false?
While it's good to be skeptical of leftist journalism, it is never good to dispense with facts.
“And yet the MSM ignore Bath House Barry’s past.”
