Yes, I’ll admit I swallowed it. I guess my excuse is that I thought they had him on video actually admitting the story was a fabrication. I usually have better discernment on these things...but .... mea culpa.
Rush is picking this apart right now. After close examination, it’s pretty clear that Politico attempted to damage Ben Carson with a highly stretched version of the facts.
Unfortunately, Trump spoke too soon about it. He was bamboozled along with millions of Americans. Hopefully, he’ll make note of how the MSM tricked us all, and not be so quick to take their reports at face value in the future.
Democrats don’t lie, only politically correct fabrications.

The only "news" they want you to believe is everything is good for Hillary and everything is bad for all other candidates.
And that's all you need to know.
The result? The result you can see ... the people who graduated in the 60's, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. You can't get through to them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.
The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already for the last 25 years. Actually, it's over fulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such tremendous success. Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures. ...he will refuse to believe it.... That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.

You’re citing “MediaMatters” as a reliable source? Sheesh, you’ve got to be kidding.........
Yeah, it's bs, but the truth is, Carson never said it.
In his book, he merely claims that he was "offered" a full scholarship to West Point. From what I gather, the offer was verbally tendered, and that Carson never followed up on it by making a formal application.
There are a number of slots dedicated to active military personnel also. Of course you have to receive the recommendation of your commanding officer.......
A friend of mine's son entered WP after serving a year.........
Accurately describes the world in which we live. The long game is effective for those willing to play it.
They came under pressure to admit SOME minority students, but they got to choose from the absolute best. That's what passed for affirmative action back then. They probably had thousands of black applicants and admitted a handful.
Does the name Alvin York ring any bells?
Absolutely. Alvin York was a pacifist.
It was 1969. The establishment (political and otherwise) wasn't exactly jumping through hoops to offer gifted young blacks any sort of rung up. This was before affirmative action took hold across the land.
You could read the politico story and the content did not fit the headline.
I have no trust in politico to start with.

let me see - do I believe the “Carson camp” or do I believe a bunch of leftist media hacks? Tough one NOT!!!
“...HIS dumbass campaign...”?
“...HIS...”?
I would have thought that FReeper criticism would be directed at the lying liars at “Politico” — not at “Politico’s” target-du-jour.
The Democrat Party has been lynching Blacks since its inception. Nothing new here.
Excellent point!
The Dems are aggressively trolling, so our moderators need to charge up their “teslas”...
I was in the Army then, and yes, the Army was already doing so. It would have been absolutely natural for Westmoreland to offer a great opportunity to Carson.
