He blamed reporters, and said it was like a game of telephone, where details change.
This answer will appease the 80 IQ morons that love the dude.
But in reality, where most people live, the differences in the story actually occur in Carson's books, in print, in his own words.
The only thing reporters are doing is ASKING him about the inconsistencies. If you're going to use an attempted murder as the catalyst for your current political and religious journey in which you're asking us to join - you had better not be making up that attempted murder. And it appears, like the popeyes robbery, that Carson just made it up.
-
the real question is this...
Ben Carson's now-proven lies are going to be a liability in the campaign. Some % of voters will say "this dude lied about multiple violent crimes, I'm not voting for him".
Maybe it won't affect getbiggers that hate obama, but it'll affect some people. So the BIG question is - why not choose a republican (like Cruz, for instance), that does NOT run this risk? Why choose the person with this massive baggage? Are his strengths (like the economic policy he cannot complain, his used-to-support-banning-guns-in-cities approach to weapons, and his decade of referring women for abortions) - Why not choose a republican WITHOUT these nasty pieces of baggage?
You're about to enter the Indy 500 and for some reason, you're choosing a Hyundai with a bad transmission. Why not opt for a better car now?

He wants people to believe that the inconsistencies with his story is the medias fault.
Blame the media.... tough questions.... blame the media..... story embellishment/inconsistencies get noted... blame the media....

I'm unable to keep up with this, because I can't understand it. We have the leading R candidate going mostly unchallenged for repeatedly telling lies.
I haven't seen any big stories on it. Nothing compared to the story that it is. What I have seen over time, though, is the media trying to take Trump down a notch.
Those two things can certainly go together, of course. So are they going together? Because I don't believe Carson could beat Hilary, but Trump very possibly can (w a real message, I think no question he can).
Once again, all suspicions lead right to Hillary.

If a guy stuck a gun in Carson's side (as according to him), shouldn't someone ask him WHY he didn't report that a dangerous armed criminal is on the loose?

Stop getting your news from getbig. This was claimed to have happened between 1980-83. I don't know if it happened or not. I tend to think he is either straight up lying or exaggerating at the very least. But I don't know that nor does 240. Everything 240 is yammering on about is 30 to 50 years old

Read excepts from his books. Retelling the story with new and ever-changing details.
-

It's relevant because he still cites it today as the incident that turned him onto religion and the right path.
If he's lying about it - what does that mean about the rest of what he says? If he will straight up invent an attempted murder confession out of thin air - because he wants his conversion to be more believable, then I have to wonder...
Next item:
Carson said he had NO RELATIONSHIP with that supplement company. Those were his exact words in last week's debate.
An hour later, we were all seeing paid speeches for a decade, all caught on video.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/29/politics/ben-carson-mannatech/index.html
This wasn't a lie from 50 years ago, this was an obvious lie from this week.
-
I tend to think he is either straight up lying or exaggerating at the very least.
Ditto.
So when he says he can fix the economy with this 10% tithe plan (which conservative economists say will NOT work), I tend to believe he is also exaggerating or lying. When he says he can solve our nations problems, I don't find him credible.
People's bullshit detectors go off. When Palin claimed to read "all of them" when referring to newspapers and magazines, voters realized she was full of shit and mccain (who led obama in August 2008 right before picking her) suddenly lost big.
People will see lies about attempted murders, armed robberies, and who knows what else will come out... and they're giong to just not bother voting for the man. In the meantime, actual conservatives like Cruz will have lost the nomiation, and Hilary will walk all over Carson in the general election.
If he's a major liar - and I don't think ANYONE on getbig is defending him at this point - then why not just bounce his ass from the nomination and choose a conservative without a history of pathological lying which will disqualify him with many voters?

I understand very well what he said 30-50 years ago. And when you tell a story that old it can either lose its luster or be over embellished. Couple that with the media and guys like you grilling him about it, and I suspect even more changes.
You overembellish all the time and paint all of your stories with a much broader colorful stroke than they actually happened. When that guy slapped you in public and took your manhood , and you ran and hid for a good cry; you certainly don't retell it that way
.
You act as if you spared an opponent's life in the gladiator pit so you wouldn't have blood on your hands.
It happens l, he is probably exaggerating/exaggerated in the past on all these stories. I did all sorts of stuff to my friends when I was younger, that might have hurt them, and I'm no monster

His economic policies don't sound feasible from what I have heard, but I am fairly ignorant on running a national budget. I suspect the most qualified candidate to run a budget is probably trump, and even he has filed bankruptcy.
As for the pyramid scheme, I discussed that with you already. He receives dollars for being a spokesman for a pyramid scheme company. It certainly isn't ethical but plenty do it.
In summary, you are fearful of this guy being president because he potentially retells 30-50 year old stories in an exaggerated fashion just as you do. And you don't like pyramid schemes.
Is there anything else?
-
Can you tell me the candidates that you currently find not to be liars, just so I have an idea of what ethical looks like to you? Republican and democratic both, please if you have the time

Either someone stuck a gun at him or he's lying. That's what it comes down to.
If he's going to claim that, then he needs to answer some questions. Because either way, truth or lie, he's screwed the pooch and we need to be informed of it.
According to reports, he is now the number one Republican candidate. That means the situation has become urgent, if it wasn't already. No excuses.

He has answered it, over and over. He even went into more expansive details and gave the exact location, which wasn't given originally.
They have no record of it from 30 years ago, so we currently have no way to verify his version. It boils down to whether you believe him or not.
Do you think less of people like 240 that exaggerate and are compulsive liars? Do you think that would affect his ability to run a country, being a story teller and all?
If that is the case, Obama should have never been president and neither should any of the current candidates.
I'm much more interested in all of their work ethics and business dealings to be honest. Hillary continues to lie about the bengazi stuff. The IRS continues to lie about targeting.
You aren't going to find a political candidate with a skeleton-free closet. If the worst skeleton he has is story telling and working for a pyramid scheme company, I think that is okay. Im.more interested in his economic policy that none of the leading experts find feasible
-

Not claiming any expertise with regards to politicians' truthfulness, but my assumption is that they all lie when it suits their purpose, which is to get elected and reelected when that time comes. Keep in mind, there are different ways to tell lies. There's lying by omission, there is lying by blending truth with lies, there is lying by claiming not to remember the truth and there is plain old "bold face" lying. The general public is very gullible and forgiving.

Since we're referring to a criminal walking around sticking a gun at people: Has he answered why he didn't report it?
-
Does he claim to have reported it? Has anyone asked him?
-
Ben Carson only recently became a Republican. He was a moderate or something like that until about six months before announcing his candidacy.
Ben Carson claims he has no relationship with Mannatech and yet there is a video of him hawking their supplements. He admitted to doing paid speeches for them.
He told the story of his violent past activity in his books, but the facts of said story kept changing. -Memory loss perhaps.

Bingo. Use your judgment to find which one is the lesser evil. If working for a pyramid company is the one that pushes you over the edge, don't vote for him.
We may never know if he is lying about the stuff from his youth. I wasn't gonna vote for him anyhow, so I don't really care. However l, I do find it funny that the ones here that harp on potential childhood fairytale are also the same ones that swear the hillary/benghazi stuff is unimportant. If one is important, so is the other one.
-
Remember, we are talking about the important job of defeating Hillary.
In 2012, it was the same way.
Romney was HATED by 3/4 of the party. He was a RINO running in the middle of a tea party revolution. But, thanks to his massive $ and infrastructure, and because it was him against 5 conservatives nibbling at each others supporters, Romney emerged the winner - even though the majority of the party hated him.
Carson has been the top candidate for 1 week. Already we have proof he embellished attempted murder, from his own book. Already we know he lied about an armed robbery, from the Baltimore police dept records. Already we know he lied about a relationship with that company, from videos showing 10 years of speeches.
More than enough warning signs - just pick a repub without so much potential for damaging baggage. I don't know if Romney ever had as much baggage lol - we are talking about carson CAUGHT LYING ABOUT ATTEMPTING TO MURDER SOMEONE. Am I the only one saying "repubs, this guy is probably not the best bet"?

So far, the only proven liar is you. He isn't an attempted murderer just because he tried to stab someone. What size was the knife on a camping trip? It's safe to say his goal wasn't murder.
The police can't find the record of the robbery that allegedly happened over 30 years ago. I don't know if it happened or not, but I bet it isn't uncommon to lose records from 30+ years ago on trivial cases.
As for your 3rd point, he worked for a pyramid company.
In the future, you may be taken more seriously of you don't lie and exaggerate every detail of every story. Plenty of guys on this board would let another man slap them in the face too without any response. I wouldn't as I think that makes you a pussy, but plenty would. The difference is you act like you allowed yourself to be bitch slapped because you spared his life and not because you were a bitch

Whole thing leads right to Hillary. She needs to face the one candidate who has a chance to beat her: Trump. They've set the whole thing up, and i STILL don't know 100% if Trump is in on it.
But if someone like Carson is allowed to take the nomination without being forced to answer for the lies, then I have officially given up on the system. We've gone too far and will not recover.

If I were a republican, I would have great difficulty backing any of the current republican presidential candidates. Being a democrat, there are fewer choices, but they are questionable too.
I'd have a real problem supporting someone with no political experience and yet running for President.
When the time comes, I will vote for someone. Not voting at all sends the dangerous message that folks don't care who is elected.

Regardless of your position on the issue of whether Carson's lying or not, you like all the rest of us are influenced by the media. A video of Carson pitching questionable supplements is pretty strong evidence against his contention that he has no business relationship with Mannatech.

I think he is either lying/exaggerating the past stuff and I think he is lying about be Lin the spokesman for a pyramid scheme. I don't want to vote for him even if he didn't have those things stacked against him. Yet, I still think that these issues are small versus the other candidates

You can't deny that the media went bananas with that, though. I don't know how much investigating the blithering boobs carried out, but they reminded us daily about the cloud hanging over his head.
Could be why he sputtered so thoroughly, now that I think of it.

At this point Carson has bypassed Caine as the biggest fibber on a debate stage.

it's tough to give carson the benefit of doubt on things, when he's caught lying so badly about the supplement company.
"I had no relationship with them" = an obvious lie which cannot be argued.

Speaking of lies, I don't know if this has been brought up yet. There is a guy on this forum that had the taste slapped outta his mouth by another man. He leads other getbiggers to believe he spared that man's life, and that is the only reason he didn't retaliate. In reality, this guy has always suffered from testicular/penis atrophy. He has literally never done a manly thing in his life. He claims to be muscle bound and ripped to the bone now, and no one would dare slap him in the face.....again.....

lol, this is the best part.
If you're attacking 240 for something, then you've already conceded ben carson is a liar. That is the point here. I am confident and relaxed and not all that butthurt over not shooting a MFer in the face 15 years ago for some silly shit.
but carson? The GOP frontrunner is still a lying bag of medicated violence. That is where the GOP butthurt lies.
-
Only thing I hope, is for a true outsider to take it. No Clinton. No Bush. None of their lookalikes.
No more of this bullshit being pulled on us.

I certainly haven't conceded anything. If you want to lie and embelish, that's fine. Take it to the g&o. Don't try to represent what you post here as fact.
Ben carson doesn't tell lies on getbig so I can't address him. I can address your lies
As far as you being a sissy, plenty of us would have just hit the guy back. Hell, most of us probably wouldn't look so weak to get slapped in the first place. I'm glad you possess no physical skills to defend yourself like a man so you think the only Avenue was get the taste slapped outta your mouth or shoot him.
Please have someone else do masculine things with any son you might have. Camping, wrestling, that sorta thing. We don't want him to get slapped and lose everyone's respect that witnessed it by getting slapped like his old man

A lie is a lie. There are no "small" lies.
Carson is lying about the very things he claim changed his life and turned him to religion.
And of course, while being a religious conservative all those years, he was sending many people to get abortions... um...
Carson may be one of those trail mix religious folks - picking and choosing the parts of the bible they like. He referred people for abortions, something he feels strongly against? Could any of us seriously send a person to that? Goodness.
he's a bright man, but evolution is the bedrock of biology, and biology is the foundation of medicine. I can't imagine he doesn't believe in millions of years of erosion, doesn't believe man has been on this planet for more than 6000 years. No, with all the study he had to do....
he's bullshitting us. He's selling a book. he's all over Florida this week - #1 in the polls yet instead of building base in iowa, he's selling books to seniors. He's making that dollar, and i give him props for doing what he wants - but any repub that truly believes carson is an honest man, lol...

i mean someone from outside the template which has cornered politics. meaning candidates from both sides are pushing ideas that will lead to globalized plutocracy, and that is unacceptable.
so i want someone from outside that body of thought, before we reach a point of no return.
where do you stand, prime? right now, today. WHO do you vote for?

I'll bet you're backing Hillary, Prime.

Probably. I am a registered Democrat. One thing is sure in my mind, there is no way in hell I could ever vote for Donald Trump. We will have to wait and see who makes it to general election.
Unfortunately, it seems as if there is always a compromise, leaving everyone to pick between two dubious candidates....the best of the worst.

Man I wish you libs would spend half as much time worrying about all of Hil's bullshit instead of Carson...Carson is beating her by ten...you would think as he's such an idiot that you'd want him around as he's so beatable, except with women and whoever votes. Seriously, don't make me defend this dope..I'm sure he's a great doctor, but he's half asleep.

props for being honest about carson.
I think he's on meds. I think something happened and brain surgery was no longer an option.
So he made a go at being an author on a big scale - use a prez run to appeal to 18% of population with a "religion beats out science on EVERYTHING" tour, sell a shitload of books, collect names for mailings in future, then just sell books and do FOX appearances.
I'd like to know what meds he's on... making outright lies without any sign of lying. psychopath, truly believes it, or just that medicated.

Man I wish you libs would spend half as much time worrying about all of Hil's bullshit instead of Carson...Carson is beating her by ten...you would think as he's such an idiot that you'd want him around as he's so beatable, except with women and whoever votes. Seriously, don't make me defend this dope..I'm sure he's a great doctor, but he's half asleep.
If YOU know he's a dope, then aren't you agreeing with everyone else who says so? Where's the conflict, lol?
Btw, Hilary is the worst up there, in a tie w Bush! Both are out to destroy instead of repair! Either may end our country, if Obama doesn't beat them to it.

Carson is probably a good guy, but damn he let things get out of control very fast. Maybe he thought he could handle the tough stuff when he should have had a better plan.

if carson was only running to sell a ton of books and get 10 million names/addresses of dedicated die-hard religious supporters... what would he be doing any differently? (Nothing)
if carson was running for president, what would he be doing differently?
Saving the $ instead of blowing most on lists, campaigning to build support instead of book tours in states he won't see til march or april, building support and endorsements, and maintaining some semblance of credibility with the 82% of americans that DONT believe the planet is less than 10,000 years old.
He's running for Wealthy Author, not president.

I've probably got a good 20 years left before my brain starts to falter. I am in doubts that I will live to see a presidential candidate that I am excited about. So far it's been voting the lesser of 2 evils, and for such a position.. something went wrong with the system. We should be picking from dozens of top candidates. That we are even considering a Trump or Carson or any of the present candidates for that matter is just sad...

This year, Trump has made so many comments which SHOULD have DQ'd him from the presidency.
This WEEK, Carson has done the same.
Think about some of the brilliant people running companies, teaching, managing huge projects...
and the GOP frontrunners are an immature TV host and religious zealot with no understanding of history or science. Yes, fck history AND science. Carson...

It's no longer a classmate. Now it involves a 'close relative' .
You know you're in trouble when even Megyn Kelly is questioning the ever-changing story of what turned you from stabbing maniac into peaceful dude. Carson has always gotten away with just making shit up.
Source: CNN
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Thursday modified his story that he tried to stab someone as a youth after a CNN report cast doubt on the anecdote.
"Those claims are absolutely true," Carson told Fox News' Megyn Kelly of the story in his bestselling memoir, Gifted Hands, that his bad temper caused him to throw a knife at a friend during an argument over music. But Carson, a retired neurosurgeon whose book was made into a movie, did offer a modification: He said his target was a "close relative," not a friend.
The stabbing tale has become an integral part of Carson's telling of his life story. He said it led him to reflect on his life and become more religious.

It amazes me how you lefties make it through life lying about everything. But, this is what happens when you can't win on policy. It's the Alinski way.

Liberals have been saying for a while that Carson is a lying idiot.
He didn't know cuba wet foot. He said all founding fathers didn't hold office. He said pyraminds
- These things show he is an idiot.
He admitted his book has parts that are made up - This shows he is not honest.
Liberals were right - Carson is a man who told lies and delivered some terrible parts - and the LAST thing any of these newly-joined republicans wants to do it admit liberals were right. People STILL say Cain was innocent - even after he admitted guilt. Can't let liberals be correct on anything.

If someone asked me my opinion on the wet foot/ dry foot policy 2 weeks ago I would have said "What's that?". Then when they mention Cubans landing on US soil I would have said "Oh, that".. Never heard it called that before but I know the rules. Maybe that's what stumped him

even after they explained it to him, he didn't say "oh yeah".
He said that sounds like a good idea. Then, when told the drawbacks, he started to try to formulate some solution n the fly.
My point is that a dude wants to be president and he doesn't know the key difference on illegals from a country with an icy relationship with us, 90 miles from our shores. Insane to not even know some wiki entry level shit like that policy. monster issue with immigratin and it's a swing state too. Jeb and hilary know it, that's for sure. What ELSE doesn't he know?

Maybe his answers lie with the 57 states.

Can you teach me to think like you do?
It would make life so much simpler.

He blamed reporters, and said it was like a game of telephone, where details change.
This answer will appease the 80 IQ morons that love the dude.
But in reality, where most people live, the differences in the story actually occur in Carson's books, in print, in his own words.
The only thing reporters are doing is ASKING him about the inconsistencies. If you're going to use an attempted murder as the catalyst for your current political and religious journey in which you're asking us to join - you had better not be making up that attempted murder. And it appears, like the popeyes robbery, that Carson just made it up.
Did his mother make this story up, too? She told this to the press nearly 20 years ago.
-

Obama was counting backwards from 50, 49, 48 and said 47 instead of 57.
he didn't write a book detailing scholarships he won for discovering 7 new states? ;)
LOL the good news is that the world knows Carson is lying, and that Carson is an idiot when it comes to anything not called brain surgery. Watch the polls in the next 2 weeks. It'll suck seeing libs predict this, but we predicted it with Cain too.

Maybe.
Usually when a person will steal valor by claiming a military honor, the parent will smack him senseless for it. Who knows.
