Debunking is a good thing, that’s true. Still, it bothers me that nobody has come forth to offer backup to Carson’s stories, including his own brother. I know that if my sibling needed corroboration for his/her story, and I could legitimately give it, I would. It bothers me that Carson’s brother, so far, is unwilling or unable to do so. None of the people who were helped from the biology incident have stepped forward to say that Carson’s story is true, either. Perhaps someone will. It’s possible that they are all dead now. I don’t know.
It’s just that I’ve known people who tell tall tales and I don’t like lies and liars. I’ve seen the harm done by some of them and know that I can’t depend on what they say. I’d love to see Carson quit hiding behind the media’s giving Obama a pass and tell them, ‘investigate all you want’. Until he does that, or until someone comes forward to back up his stories, I’m going to remain a skeptic.
All that said, I was not going to vote for him, anyhow, though I’d though he might make a good surgeon general. Now, I’m not sure that I’d trust him anywhere in government.
“I know that if my sibling needed corroboration for his/her story, and I could legitimately give it, I would.”
Valid point. But can’t we resolve the slander against Carson and give him a breather first?
It's very true that Obama should have been investigated more thoroughly, we all know that. But Carson is beginning to sound like a teller of very tall tales, and that's not good.
Just today, I saw where Carson's mother was interviewed back in the 1990s, I think, and she corroborated the stabbing attempt. So, you have his mother who knew him the best, in print, corroborating his version of the event.
