I believe that I heard the news saying that Carson admitted he never was offered a scholarship and that General Westmorland was never at the dinner Carson claimed he talked to him at. ( I just turned it on and there was talking in the room so I'll have to look into this more to see if I heard it correctly). This was after Carson told the news to stop lying.

If someone offers you a scholarship and it ain't in writing, it ain't a scholarship. If WP was actively recruiting Blacks, he prob. had a good chance of getting in. But it looks like no "scholarship" was offered

As RRH said, his story is compelling enough w/o making things up. His campaign has said he has gotten record donations since the liberal WSJ broke the story.

If someone offers you a scholarship and it ain't in writing, it ain't a scholarship. correct...it's an "offer"... which is all he ever said was extended in his conversation...I believe he's also side that Michigan gave him a similar "offer"...that needs to be investigated as well probably

If WP was actively recruiting Blacks not "if", he prob. had a good chance of getting in. Top of his class excelled in ROTC and eventually became a neurosurgeon...yeah, he might have squeaked in But it looks like no "scholarship" was offered again...you have absolutely no idea what was offered

As RRH said, his story is compelling enough w/o making things up. you have no idea what was or was not made up [COLOR="blue"]

pretty sure it was Politico that broke the story....Jim Geraghty has been writing on the Mannatech story for almost a year...guess it just became relavant
