Knife fight: Trump ad asks if Carson is a 'violent criminal or pathological liar'
The Washington Examiner ^ | 11/13/2015 | Al Weaver

Posted on 11/13/2015 9:26:06 AM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Donald Trump hit Ben Carson in a new Instagram ad, in which he wondered if his fellow GOP front-runner is a "violent criminal" or a "pathological liar."

The ad, released in honor of Friday the 13th, features an old Carson interview where he describes an incident in his childhood when he tried to stab someone in the abdomen. The Carson clip is followed by a clip of an old neighbor of his who said he never knew Carson to be that violent of a person.

Directly following, Trump's team asks whether or not Carson is a "violent criminal or a pathological liar," adding that "we don't need either as president."

Spooky music plays throughout the ad, playing off Friday being Friday the 13th.

Trump has banished Carson to permanent residency at Bates Motel.

“Just when you think Trump can’t go any lower, the Boorish Blowhard manages to do just that”

It’s called “taking the gloves off”. You know, that thing people here pretended they wanted to see happen. The stuff they complained that GOP candidates were afraid of?

Now? Oh now it’s a bad thing? People were not complaining when he went after Jeb.

“Let’s see how Trump fares come February and March, when Republican primary voters choose actual delegates.”

So you are saying they will go vote for the docile candidate that keeps the gloves on?

The ones that will take the attacks from Hillary and say something pathetic like “Oh I wont dignify that with a response”?

The one that will end up saying “Hillary as president wont be so bad”?

TRUMP has highlighted nothing that Carson hasn’t revealed of himself, so, Trump elected to raise a little hell about it, that early state voters would fall for the Carson hood stories, as if these incidents were some kind of a “plus” for the nomination.

TRUMP remains honest. He reacts to BS like normal voters do. He is nothing short of authentic, in a time crying out for authenticity.

Why do you think a refutation of one particular claim against Carson is going to have any affect on a *completely different* claim against Carson?

Your logics, they do not compute.

Beginning to believe Trump is a narcissistic egomaniac. What about his long time contributions to Dems, and flip-flop on issues? Trump is only looking out for Trump. His EGO is the problem.

It looks like Ted Cruz is losing some support to Carson...?

Thanks for calling my attention to a fascinating development of which I had heard nothing—crickets. Imo, Carson owes his political skin to Politico. From what I’ve heard, they included so many blatant lies in their story, people overlooked the one kernel of truth. Well, no one has ever accused Politico of competence.

I saw that vid earlier!! Carson in his own words!

Needs to be a thread of it’s own.

If he was really as violent as he says I think some people would remember.

Carson may not be Presidential material, but you can’t “BS” you way into being a respected Neurosurgeon. You can BS your way into being a famous TV personality (most have). I’m glad Trump is there, but people who think the US needs him to be President need a reality check on who this guy was only 3 years ago.

Well said.

Cruz to victory and liberty.

On the bright side, Trump may have taken himself out with this ad and yesterday’s tirade.

There are never any real witnesses with him. Now he says a couple of these things involved mom and a cousin. Mom has Alzheimer’s and cousin isn’t giving up his privacy to get into this bond fire. “Bob” was a friend, now he’s a cousin.

I dunno, but the fairy tail smell of these things serves no purpose, really, but maybe to spice up some chapter of his rain making book.

TRUMP is right. It is stupid to fall for this stuff, Iowa.

Yes, both Cruz & Huckabee have lost supporters to Carson. Because Evangelical Christians love the soothing tone of Carson’s speeches. Huck is a has been, and Cruz speaks with a frown and comes across as lecturing.

Carson is a nonviolent stiletto wielder. His verbal stiletto is so marvelously sharp the blade is inserted so effortlessly the stabee doesn’t feel a thing until the blade is twisted and the deadly [point is made
