Carson seems to be having a hard time defending his personal narrative, which is sad because he's a great success story. he doesn't have any trouble defending it from what I can see

No really, I knifed a guy! I threw rocks! I tried to smash my mom with a hammer! this is impossible?, I don't think he's claimed to have actually knifed anyone and as a kid...I threw lots of rocks, got in fights

It's surreal.

I understand that for you Obama's writing and bizarre associations were not "surreal" and completely dismissable...somehow Carson's are...most likely nothing more than a different standard for folks of different political persuasions which you are quite consistent with...
