Politico didn't "lie" they made an inference based on the Carson campaign validating their story. It was sloppy journalism but not necessarily a lie.

People throw the word lie around so much I'm not even sure what it means any more.

If no one on Carson's team ever spoke to Politico about it, then how did they make that inference? Bassed on what?

"People throw the word lie around so much I'm not even sure what it means any more"

A statement that only a Hilary supporter could possibly make. Every clear-thinking person over the age of 6 knows what it means.

Carson said this too...this guy is freekin' nuts...

“So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama.” In March 2007, he claimed the 1965 events in Selma inspired his parents to get together. He was born in 1961. The media chose not to notice.

no wait....sorry...that was Obama

If you read what he actually said, rather than just some right wing blog with the "you'll never believe what this celebrity said..." advertisements you'd see that Obama was speaking about the broader civil rights movement that had been building for some time.

It's actually a very good speech.

It's actually a very good speech.

Per the text of Obama’s 2007 speech:

“This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets [to study in the U.S.], and he met this woman who’s great-great-great-great grandfather had owned slaves,” he said.

“But she had a different idea. There’s some good craziness going on, because they looked at each other and they decided that we know that in the world that it has been it might not be possible for us to get together and have a child. But something’s stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. in 1965 So they got together… and poof Barack Obama, Jr. was born.in 1961

“So don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma, Alabama. (because I can time travel)Don’t tell me I’m not coming home when I come to Selma, Alabama for the first time. I’m here because somebody marched for our freedom. I’m here because somebody marched for me. I stand on the shoulders of giants,” he continued.

I love it. "Per the text" now means selected quotes surrounded by commentary...

I do see how it worked. I wouldn't say you lied, I might say you are wrong.

Anyway, in the end, it will be Hilary against someone. The whole campaign will be as exhausting and unpleasant as thi sthread has been. I do have to say, that on the other threads, anything other than politics, you and Paul have been awesome to me. It's too bad that politics does this.

I have to say, if we could split the country in 2, I wpould vote for that and move to wherever my conservative bretheren are. This stuff is incredibly divisive, and I am as guilty of that as anyone.

Spence, in Chicago, the ACLU sued a school district, AND WON, because they said it was discriminatory to tell a boy that he can't shower in the girls' locker room.

Are we really that divided now, where which bathroom you use, is a controversial question? I honestly don't kno wwhat unites us anymore.
