Carson Fabricated West Point Story

[libertybele]

We'll have to agree to disagree on this Bigun.  The View has gone after Carly -CNN has gone after Trump - this is not race-based.  It's PARTY based. 

I've heard so many on the left say that our antagonism against Obama is simply because he is a black man in the White House.  It's ridiculous when we say it too. 

Carson can stop this by saying he was mistaken, but I heard him on Hannity and he doubled down that Politico was lying.  If what he say is true, I expect him to file a lawsuit against them - but I'd bet that doesn't happen.  I just don't think he has the political instincts to beat them at their own game. 

Nice guy though.

I didn't get to hear him on Hannity; but if he has publicly stated that Politico is lying I will take him at his word and I admit I was wrong.  As for this being racist, I tend to agree with you.  They've gone after Trump and Carly.  They both have effectively fired back, I thought Carly did very well on her interview with the View and she got some great exposure.

It is RACIST in it's entirity whether or not you or anyone else can see it.

Well, well, well............ Political has apparently backed off their LIE about Ben Carson.

Too late, of course, but perhaps the fact that the media has tried to smear him with a complete falsehood will actually end up helping him with voters who care about TRUTH.

Thank heavens for the DailyCaller.


(My fingers automatically type "political" when I mean to type "Politico"...... sorry about that!)

I'm a bit more interested in the report in the WSJ that Ben Carson Backs White House's TPP Trade Deal.

I'd like to see more information on this.

[alicewonders]

I'm glad to hear they've backed down from the fabrication statement, I never believed he lied.  I'm glad to see him fighting them back on it.  Still don't want to see him as the nominee, but I don't want it to be because of a lie.

There are much more important things to discuss than that!  /s

Politico Changes Headline On Carson Story, Pretends It Didn’t

Politico has already begun to backtrack its explosive story accusing Ben Carson of lying about an acceptance to West Point, deleting its claim that Carson had confessed to “fabricating” his admission.

When it first published its story Friday morning, the Virginia-based blog aggressively declared that Carson had admitted to telling a big lie about his past....

Let see

Cruz: Votes for fast tracking TPP. Now says he is against it.

Carson: I was against TPP but now that we see the final product, there are things in here we can work with.

Trump: Our trade deals are a disaster, wait until I am President and I will negotiate real good trade deals.

That about sums it all up

I will say I am glad ALL our candidates, except Kaisch, are fighting back against the Media. Kaisch things they are doing a "great job"

You are forgetting the fact that Cruz voted based on the lie(s) that McConnell told him and in fact he addressed the Senate on the issue of McConnell's lies.

One thing we know about Ted Cruz is that he's never wrong.  Even when he's wrong, he's never wrong and he'll blame somebody else for his mistakes.

No, I don't know that of Cruz, nor do I know of him blaming someone else.  You are entitled to your opinion of course, but Mitch McConnell would be the last person I'd side with.

Rush Limbaugh: Politico's Carson West Point Story an 'Electronic Lynching'

[Formerly Once-Ler]

I can live with Rubio as nominee easier than Carson - but I fear that Rubio has some skeletons in his closet, perhaps financial - that the establishment will help to make "go away" in exchange for him doing their bidding. 

Not only does the Establishment offer extremely competitive rates for closet skeleton removal, but we also currently offer the highest yield for your immortal soul, as well as 2 for the price of 1 legislative co-sponsors, and full dental.  plus the Establishment day care center has a 30 ft bouncy castle.

If you are a representative interested in selling out your constituents, just say "Priebus" three times into a mirror, and an Establishment representative will arrive in seconds.

No. Ted Cruz is the last person I'd side with.  He called McConnell a liar (in those words).  He blamed his fellow Senators for the 2013 shutdown which HE authored!!! 

No wonder he has few friends in the Senate.  He can't work with other people.

McConnell is a liar, apparently you like McConnell...I now see the bigger picture here.  You are entitled to your opinion.

I wasn't a big Ben supporter before this.  Now, I may be.

Same here.  Isn't it funny how the drive-by-media is clueless to what motivates Republicans and conservatives?  NPR was still perplexed this morning as to why the GOP is angry about the CNBC debate.

Exactly as I thought!   

(Didn't know about the bouncy castle though.)

Dr. Carson held his own nicely in the presser. I watched 20 minutes, and it impressed me.
