Is this true??

[PaulS]

"Got offered a scholarship to West Point", his story about the class he took at Yale, his denying he had a relationship with the nutritional company, his saying he wanted to kill someone. How is that to start? I'm sure there are prob. more.

I read the paper so I read lots about the teabaggers.

his story about the class he took at Yale, again, what evidence indicates this did not occur?, I read the story, seems like another media rush and conclusion without much investigation, I'd like to see more

his denying he had a relationship with the nutritional company, what exactly was the "relationship"

his saying he wanted to kill someone. I'd like to kill someone right now

How is that to start? you forgot his other claims of suppressed violent tendencies that the media concluded never occurred after having talked to no one ever involved

I'm sure there are prob. more. I'm sure you're sure

it's remarkable the low standard of evidence to convict a black man.... who happens to be a Republican.... in the minds of some, while ignoring mounds and decades of evidence to protect their white candidate...roles reversed I suspect the'd be some serious charges of racism involved


Paul appears to be struggling to contain and control his "hate"...Eben's perpetual relativist dismissal that "all politicians in the world lie" has gone missing...which i guess makes it a dismissal of political convenience...and Spence continues to prove that his feigned indignation lives on a 1 way street....

it's going to be quite amusing to watch some folks twist themselves into pretzels over then next year and beyond...particularly if the Republicans happen to assume power and take all of the liberties that the dems and their supporters have bestowed upon themselves

You're confusing me with Jim (unless that was suppose to be some sort of little jab - then I would say good one). I don't start posts crying about every little thing or post the same thing over and over and over again or call the Pres. a POS or Hillary things like FCOTUS.

So is there any proof he actually got offered a "scholarship"? What congressman nominated him? Is there any record of West Point receiving that or approving him for admission? I already provided a link to an article which showd he had a relationship with the nutritional company even though he recently denied it. So did he or did he not try to kill someone? His book said he was violent and tried to kill someone and tried to attack his mom with a hammer.

"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?

I wish you applied the same level of scrutiny to everyone

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.

I agree that he appears less than forthcoming regarding his answer...he was put on the spot and should not have out of hand dismissed any relationship

I don't understand why the childhood anger issues are relevant or in question..he grew up in Detroit during the 60's.. do a little googling about Detroit during the 60's...we threw rocks at each other in my neighborhood and we didn't have race riots going on at the time, the little puke across the street threw a hammer at me once and got a beating for it...where did you guys grow up?...a couple of kids in my class blew themselves up with a pipe bomb and my brother got angry and chased me down the street with a knife once, I kept running because he seemed pretty serious...I'd never have threatened my mother mostly because my Dad would have kicked my ass...I'm not sure Carson's Dad was around...

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.
