Carson's next absurd claim
Posted on 11/05/2015 5:47:06 PM PST by TigerClaws
Newly minted Republican presidential front-runner late Wednesday night went online to further a narrative that he has been using for weeks on the campaign trail, describing a childhood filled with homelessness, hunger and hard times.
The retired surgeon used his Facebook page sometime after 11 p.m. to post a rambling defense of his lack of political experience, his pride at his years as a neurosurgeon, and a hard-luck boyhood in which he says he witnessed segregation first-hand.
'I grew up poor. I know what it is like to be homeless and hungry. I know the pain of poverty... I know what it is like to see water fountains you are not allowed to drink out of because of your skin color,' Carson wrote.
'I also know that once you peel back the skin, the brain is the same no matter what your skin color or continent you live on.'

I’d say it was close to being over for him, but as I know so well, it wasn’t over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, so he may just carry on ...
Ben, Dr Carson...
Just
why
are
you
self destructing?
Jesus man, look at your accomplishments in life? Why are you doing this?
Imagine a major media outlet scoffing at some of the claims Barack or Michelle Obama have made of how they suffered in this horribly racist country.
He should’ve gone to the pyramids and picked up some grain.
This guy is flaming out...where the heck are his advisors?
Freegards

I’m not that much younger than him but I never once saw a segregated water fountain. But then I was raised in the racist south and he was raised in the enlightened north.
He’s got a rather odd theory about the pyramids. Little by little kooky stuff is coming out. This is old but supposedly he still stands by this theory. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e6e_1446768869
Flaming out? He is beating all the other schmucks big time. Although unconventional, it seems to be working.
Carson is NOT the front-runner!!
I’m sure that he’ll surge some more.
Carson's next absurd claim
LOL! Seriously, LOL.
He was raised in Detroit and separate restrooms and drinking fountains were common until 1964. You must be quite a bit younger.
Ben Carson absolutely could have seen segregated water fountains. Carson is 64 years old, which means he was 13-14 when Maryland v. Bell was decided (black kids in Baltimore arrested for being at a white diner).

I was a tiny little guy then.

It is funny though that CNN and other MSM would talk to his friends while growing up to determine the truth of his stories.
They went by the planeload to talk to people about Sarah Palin.
Where were they when Soetoro was running for President?
I am very stunned that a man of his education can think grain was
stored in the Pyrimids.
I can only speculate that this was something taught by his cult
religion.
Did they investigate Clinton’s “burning black churches” claim????????
every election cycle it seems that the DNC-MSM concoct a series of these stunts.
It’s old hat if you’ve ever seen the original Mr.Smith Goes To Washington. Here cued to the relevant scene...
