Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is challenging media accusations that he exaggerated his tough childhood by sharing a magazine clipping from a 1997 article in which his mother verified the claim that he tried to stab a friend in ninth grade.

Can you explain why you support Carson’s positions of amnesty, gun control and TPP?

“Right. Cynicism.” Your right, but politics and politicians can do that to a person. But I do love
politicking. That is one reason why I love
“Free Republic”.

Hubby and were saying that, earlier. What a thing to want to verify! Carson also claimed he had a pathological disease, in his book.

Some things are better left unsaid. That can’t happen when you set yourself up for the scrutiny of running for President, though....unless you’re 0blama :-/

“Okay, he was a thug when he was a teenager.”

Seems weird that this incident with Carson would be an issue when Hussein and his minions are thugs every day of the year. Nobody has a problem with that. Travon could be Obama’s son. Obama turns the bomb-clock building boy into a celebrity. It’s endless.

I like Ben Carson. He is not a Democrat like Donald Trump or a RINO like ... well most of the field. He fights.

I do not expect to find a candidate that agrees with me 100 % of the time, unless it’s about ending the left wing idiocracy.

Oh, come on, you said he was right.

You’ve got me guessing, because as far as I can determine, he was wrong on everything he posted.

Help me out, what was he right about?

Amnesty, gun control and TPP are policies that can destroy our country. These are not in any way minor issues. Carson’s support of them make him every bit as unacceptable as any liberal running. He certainly is no conservative.

I fail to follow your logic.

You know, that is the first true thing you've posted.

I am getting back to the Trump speech.

Where, BTW, he spent several minutes attacking Hillary!, even though he's not yet running against her.

Is this bizarre or what? Just the qualification that every Presidential candidate needs, that they stabbed someone!

This is one of the oddest things I ever read from a Presidential Candidate.Did he write in the book they gave him drugs to calm him down?Imagine your son coming after you with a hammer.

I want to see them go after her now. I already know basically what our candidates will run on. I want to know
which one of our candidate can beat her. Remember, Rick Lazio, in the New York Senate run. He should of won but he “stepped” in her space. That was so bs. We need a candidate who can best her and the media.

“The issues that Carson is so dangerously wrong on should be the focus.”

Absolutely! I never even thought to question his stories in his book. The media needs to ask about current issues. It reminds me of the impeachment of Clinton. The press says he was impeached for sex, but ignores the real reason that he was impeached for a crime - committing perjury in front to of a grand jury.

I have yet to hear any of my questions asked. They won’t ask them unless he wins the nomination. He needs to be vetted, but not with 50 year old stories.

Here you are, claiming to be so smart, and yet you are reduced to the lowest of responses, the kind children use, the personal attacks.

Tut tut.
