I’m really getting sick of Ben Carson 24/7. He’s not going to ever be the GOP nominee and he’s just taking up space. Go home Ben.
I didn’t think the West Point story was a big deal. But I fail to see how the stabbing thing should be a story Carson wants to get out.
He had two books out before 1997. Did he mention his strange behavior in either of them?
With that said, on the "West Point" non-story, someone needs point out a fact which any person who attends "Awards Day" programs at local high schools can confirm--that where dollar amounts of scholarship "awards" are announced and applauded, the "full ride" equivalent for students bound to military academies is equated to a "scholarship." That happens every Spring in every community in America.
Only in a PC, it "depends on what the meaning of 'is' is, semantically-controlled-media-world mindset would one even think to question whether a man who was relating an event from his distant past might not remember then, as now, a common understanding of a conversation about being a young Black man from an impoverished setting, in the presence of a famous General whose praise of that young man had included a comment that, with his outstanding academic record, he could get into and attend West Point for free (translated then and now as "a scholarship").
We can only imagine how a reporter for Politico defines a "free ride" to college these days, one who has fallen under the spell of those pseudo-intellectual "progressives" who now wish to rewrite the dictionaries, give their own mind-control definitions to common terms, and dictate to the rest of us how we "evaluate" presidential candidates; but, this one thing we know: Ben Carson's life record of achievement and contributions to humanity will far outlive that little reporter's miniscule words, no matter how one defines them.
Decent Americans, whether they favor Dr. Carson for President or not, may reject such attempts to play with their minds on such a serious subject.
To choose another favorite candidate than Carson represents what America is all about. Participating in the Democrats' Alinsky tactics is another.
I am praying that God’s will be done & that He set up the
right person for the job to the end that His will be done.
I suppose the stabbing and hammer incidents are his sorry attempt to win street cred, and get the gangbanger vote.
Anyone who would support this guy should be ashamed of themselves. He’s nothing more than an 0bama with an R after his name.
The one stream media focuses on events from a time in Dr. Carson's life that highlight the profound before and after transformation of his personality and life path.
However, his actions in that "before" picture are something most consider to be out of character for a future President and more like that of a future prisoner.
By focusing on those events and that time in his life, the one stream media are able to tarnish the man, to whatever degree, using his former young self's bad behavior before his amazing transformation.
They planted the thought that Dr. Carson is guilty now as a grown man of being what he used to be as an adolescent boy.
Next in that combination, they then hit him with allegations that his stories aren't true as told or written.
Even if all of his stories are demonstrated to be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, their lies about him linger on in the minds of voters.
Investigative Journalism's candidate vetting is just the one stream media peeing in the party punch bowl like they always do.
No wonder we love it when Trump bitch slaps them hard and makes them cry.
In a way, we get to live vicariously through Donald Trump.
"Slap 'em again! Slap 'em again! Harder! Harder!"
"Slap 'em again! Slap 'em again! Harder! Harder!"
It would be nice if we did not have as president someone who stabbed another person.
