"hate" referred to your teabagger tourette's and your constant reference to "hate"
So is there any proof he actually got offered a "scholarship"?
I was offered "scholarships" for which I have no proof, calls from coaches encouraging me to apply and attend schools that I chose not to, how do you prove that?.....given the fact that West Point was actively recruiting black students and he was the highest regarded in Detroit at the time and met with the contingent it would be highly unlikely that the subject was not mentioned in my opinion
What congressman nominated him? noone ever said a congressman nominated
Is there any record of West Point receiving that or approving him for admission?
he stated that he only every applied to one school...Yale...while there were many that wanted him given his record...
I already provided a link to an article which showed he had a relationship with the nutritional company even though he recently denied it.
what was the relationship? he used a product and said he liked it....was he ever an employee or paid spokesman?
So did he or did he not try to kill someone? did he?
His book said he was violent and tried to kill someone and tried to attack his mom with a hammer. did it?

Come on Scott, this is an easy one if he was paid to do the speeches, he lied about this.
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/...natech/412987/
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...s-donald-trump
On NBC, Carson continued: “I am soft-spoken. I do have a tendency to be relaxed. I wasn’t always like that. There was a time when I was, you know, very volatile. But, you know, I changed.
“As a teenager, I would go after people with rocks, and bricks, and baseball bats, and hammers. And, of course, many people know the story when I was 14 and I tried to stab someone. And, you know, fortunately … my life has been changed. And I’m a very different person now.”
(The "" mean Carson actually said these words...")
Carson, the author of a number of bestselling books, has often told the story of his wayward youth and the time he attempted to stab a friend. The person he threatened with a hammer was his mother.
Does any of this preclude him from running? No, but his story is getting silly, and it appears he is twisting things to make his story sound even better which is too bad, because w/o the West Point or hammer or stab story he still has a compelling story
And yes Jim, Hillary lied about the sniper file to conflate things as well. Yes she probably knew Bill was having affair. Her story sucks as well.
It bothers me that all around these are the best we have to offer. Sanders can't win a general. Period, Nebe. Hillary will probably pick Jim Webb as a VP to get the middle of the road blue dog/Regan democrats and win the general.

He posted the syllabus for the Yale class, on his website.
His saying he wanted to kill someone? You mean when he claimed he wanted to stab someone? How do we know that was a lie? I'm not saying it's good if true, but that has not been proven false.
The press either needs to calm down, or they need to do the same to everyone. Hilary said in some speeches when she was first lady of Arkansas, that right after she moved to Arkansas to be with Bill, she went to a Marine Corps recruiter to enlist in the Marines, and the recruiter told her they weren't interested. Raise your hand if you believe that one.
People exaggerate, tell tall tales, and lie. If we are going to hold politicians accountable for these things, and I think we should, we should do it consistently. |

more oops...
instead of reading about teabaggers you might read the syllabus for the Yale class that Carson has provided which he says he took but that never existed according to the media...he's also provided the school newspaper clipping detailing the hoax regarding the burning of the tests for that class that the media also contends never occured...
also the recruiting poster from West Point aimed a black students and mentioning "full scholarships" which are never offered
i understand that the media has been trying to compile a list of lies from the Clinton's Memoirs but the final text was larger than the current US Tax code  |

And the "proof" that he lied about his violent tendencies? CNN asked some people that knew Carson 50 years ago, and they didn't remember him having violent tendencies.
Is that "proof" that he didn't feel violent urges? That certain people didn't recall it that way? Gimme a break.
With liberals, it's almost never, ever about policy. It's always about personal attacks. They are scared sh*tless of this guy, just like they were with Palin, so they are foaming at the mouth to destroy him.
Carson said that he would not have invaded Afghanistan after 09/11. If he believes that, he loses my vote. Most people think his flat-tax policy would leave us big-time short of revenue. |

I will have to do some research that's quite a list. I assume you are referring to the Phoenix when you say read the paper since I don't recall seeing teabagging in any news papers. I am just uninformed I guess.

Does he believe in the rapture ? And what will happen if he thinks this will happen while he is in office ?
This is a serious question.

So a Christian is more scary, then someone who spent his entire life in the church of Black Liberation Theology, whatever the hell that means.
These questions don't get asked of liberals who claim to be religious. |

I assume you're referring to the Trinity United Church of Christ? |

Anyone can put the word Christ in the name of the Church. It's what's taught, that defines a religion. Wright's flock, every single one of them who genuinely believes him, is a white-hating anti-Semite. That doesn't line up well with the teachings of Christ.
You 'oops' , about the class at Yale, was baseless as it turns out. And you still haven't explained to any of us, why Hilary's lies don't say as much about her, as Carson's say about him. When will you address that, so I know when to check back? |

Eben...what about what he believes regarding the Constitution and the proper role of government as that is what he or another will be sworn to uphold and defend....you can cry and complain about how f'ed up government is and those within it but you look ridiculous doing so when this is the kind of thing you are focused on and the creeps in government applaud your efforts and desire to make their playground bigger and more profitable  |

Yes, the Wall St Journal is right-leaning. But they blew that story. Carson has posted the syllabus to the class, and he has posted an article from the Yale paper at the time, which described the incident he refers to.
Yeah Spence, you really nailed Carson on that one.
Oops!!

Liberal thought...Let's see...Carson has operated in babies in the womb, so obviously he has a great deal of credibility when he says that what's in there, is a lot more than a meaningless glob of cells. We cannot begin to debate him on this, or anything else, so let's find all the dirt we can, throw wild accusations up against the wall, and pray (as if we ever pray) that enough sticks to derail his candidacy.

If the clipping is true it only shows that the hoax occurred, but also contradicts his writing about it...

What was the question ? Several embassies were attacked and over 50 people were killed.
I kind of know what the rapture is. It is when the living float up into the heaven along with the dead who believe in Christ. (This is after his second coming).

Actually, I'm done asking questions about Carson.
If we review, I said even before Bernie Sander's announced that he would run for president, that he would be president and I still feel that strongly.
Furthermore, there is no way this country would elect Carson after this pyramid statement. Trump is a joke, nothing more to say there.. Rubio or Cruz will face Sanders in a very close race.
Just my opinion.
