Carson Blows Up at Reporters During Presser: Why Don’t You Care About Obama’s Past?
Mediaite ^ | 11/6/15 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 11/06/2015 5:24:26 PM PST by jimbo123

Ben Carson faced some combative reporters during a press conference in Florida tonight about the various issues in his background that have been raised this week.

He dismissed Politico's report about him not being formally offered a West Point scholarship, simply insisting it was relayed to him that he could get one with the kind of accomplishments in his background.

He declared, "There is a desperation on behalf of some to try to find a way to tarnish me... Next week it'll be my kindergarten teacher who said I peed in my pants."

-snip-

"I do not remember this level of scrutiny for one President Barack Obama."

My 2 cents...Carson benefits by this and he’s very presidential in press conferences. Trump has some worries but I’m still for him.

RE: Carson Blows Up at Reporters During Presser

That’s EXACTLY the kind of reaction they want to get out of Dr. Carson. Up to now, he has been considered a calm, soft-spoken presence.

Now, they want to destroy this impression.

IF he can be angry without losing his composure, he’d be even more impressive.

As he should, just like Clarence Thomas! I'll never forget his response to those bastard Dem Senators!

We did care and we tried but he spent millions of dollars to hide his birth certificate and his school records and everything else...Trump even spent a lot of money to find at least his birth certificate which was the fake one...

So don’t be crying Ben, you got into this race, with your eyes half open and now you can’t take the heat, then stay out of the kitchen....

As Rush likes to point out, ONE WEEK before the 2008 election Charlie Rose and Tom Brokaw admitted they knew NOTHING about Obama. “Scrutiny”? Hah!

Transcript from the Oct. 30, 2008 Charlie Rose Show on PBS (courtesy of Rush):

ROSE: I don’t know what Barack Obama’s worldview is.

BROKAW: No, I don’t, either.

ROSE: I don’t know how he really sees where China is.

BROKAW: We don’t know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.

ROSE: I don’t really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?

BROKAW: Yeah, it’s an interesting question.

ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches.

BROKAW: Two of them! I don’t know what books he’s read.

ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?

BROKAW: There’s a lot about him we don’t know.

He's lucky he's not in Trumps shoes.

Trumps up to vicious attack #1423 and these don't even include the profession level malicious attacks against Trump.

Criticizing Barak is ipso facto racist.

That POS Wil went off on Carson on Baer’s show tonight too. Asked to comment about the politico artical he began a recital of everything Carson did which “gives question” about him. He criticized Carson for taking Oturd to task over O care at a prayer breakfast to boot.

Shortly there after, O Reilly on a separate matter, Wil’s review of his book about Reagan, called Wil a hack and liar. Wil, the pos that he is, looked out of his league.

I loved it. I am sick and tired of this Hack attacking anyone out of the GOPe group. It would not surprise me to find out that Wil may have been the source for Politico artical either.

President Obama is such a piece of excrement and they let him do so much as they have the Clintons that all opposition candidates have full right to ask for equal treatment or to point out the lack of.

This year was the end of the press free reign to rig the game without being questioned about their behavior and questions.

I remember ABC covered Ayers, and perhaps Rev. Wright. I don't remember specifics.

Somebody must have reported about sealed records but dropped it.

Most of those other matters weren't covered. Oh, Rezko was covered somewhat, wonder where he is today.

None of them covered the birth certificate long form until the issue was forced by Trump.

Whatever they did cover, Obama was given a pass.

How many race cards have the conservatives and media played yet on Carson? That ought to tell you something. They are still shuffling that deck on Obama but not as much as earlier.

The press is doing this on purpose to generate "sympathy votes" for Carson. It's tried and true...just ask Shrillary!

Don't fall for this BS, people!

On a side note.....I can’t even get through a video on these sites anymore because all of the crap they have running in the background freezes my browser up.

Seems like it is all sites lately, it’s really ticking me off!!

Sorry for the rant, back to the thread.....

ABC Radio News has been breathlessly reporting on Carson’s West Point story hour after hour, all day today. They are sick puppets of the Democrats.

Carson didn't come off as crying to me, from what I saw he handled himself well.

Dr Carson dressed everyone of those media assassins down...I’m sure it’s easy to do when you are intellectually smarter than they are.
