November 6, 2015: GOP Presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson addressed the media this evening on the alleged false claims he made in his book, "Gifted Hands", including that he received a full scholarship offer to West Point and that he allegedly tried to stab a friend and hit his mother with a hammer.

He got pretty testy with the reporters...

And all the candidates siding with Carson over Politico except Trump accepting Politico’s story hook, line and sinker.

He is not. He is a good, decent, moral man.

I have some personal knowledge of him.

You are wrong.

There are dozens of athletes and academically gifted kids recruited to service academies every year. Ben Carson described what happens to some kids every year. Appointments are arranged after the prospects decide to take the offer.

That he is. His IQ is probably higher than all the other candidates, maybe save for Cruz.

Dr. Carson handled the questions well. He’s right - the media are desperate, trying to find something to bring him down.

All I want to know ( and I will shut up ) is — WAS THERE A RECORDED SCHOLARSHIP OFFERED AT WP. Otherwise he is a pathological psychopathic LIAR in my opinion. This is beyond unacceptable.

Uh......yeah, sure. A kook. All these years and this is the first time we here of his supposed mental illness. Used to be that the left simply said Republicans were stupid and Democrats were smart. The Commies know they can’t claim the good Doctor isn’t smart so now what? Try to convince people he is mentally unstable. Nice try. You folks feel so threatened by him that this is the best you can do. Try to make the public think he is a whack job. Guess what. Its not working. The Democrats are looking so bad right now that people would vote for a bag of rocks than one of those fools.

"Carson is really messed up psychologically. I have never seen such discombobulation. He says clearly he was offer a scholarship from WP. Where is the letter after congressional or Presidential nomination. I hate to tell you— His high school teacher COULD ABSOLUTELY NOT “OFFER” HIM A “FULL SCHOLARSHIP TO WP”!!This is getting silly. And the pyramids were for GRAIN STORAGE and he “tried to knife” a kid and kill his mother with a hammer? Are you kidding me. This guy is a total raving KOOK!!"

Dude.

I could not have said it better.

In fact, in your honor I am openly challenging any and all Carson supporters to make their case as to why, when I call them S T U P I D, I could be mistaken.

Come on now...silly bastards...make your case.

If you knew anything about service academies, you would know that there are dozens of students recruited each year for academics, sports, etc.

Ben Carson can out think you, even when asleep.

Dude.

He's a threat to the Republic because stupid people (do you know any of them?) might actually vote him into some office with power.

Yes, Carson is a lunatic. And only stupid people will vote for him.

There is no such thing as a “recorded scholarship” to a service academy.

It seems that such a “smart person” like you should know that.

He was recruited - it is understood that since it is a service academy it is not only free, they are paid a stipend. He did not pursue it. It happens all the time.

The “sport he played”’was called saving lives. That’s quite a psychotic profile, right?

He claimed he was offered scholarship.

It is not possible for SP to offer scholarship without there being record of same.

Ben Carson did a fantastic job. I am not one of his supporters, but I consider him to be a man of impeccable character and integrity. The pack of journalistic jackals deserve our scorn. Well done Dr. Carson.
