Title: Ben Carson finally admits making up scholarship, & Rush brings the funny
Post by: 240 is Back on November 09, 2015, 07:13:31 PM
The politician word games begin now.  You'll hear things like "I said I was offered a scholarship by a man, but I embellished him actually being there, and I never used the word *formally*, thus I'm not a liar".    ::)



West Point has no record of Carson applying for admission, Politico said. In Carson's book "Gifted Hands," he says he got a "full scholarship" to the military academy.

LOL @ Rush Lumbaugh.... "Ben carson was a poor kid who didn't know the DEFINITION of the word scholarship"


Um, didn't Ben Carson score higher on the SAT than any kid in Detroit in 20 years?  He knew VERY well what the word meant...


RUSH: I think it's nothing but that. I mean, exactly. If you're a kid like Carson, who grew up poor and even at that age at 19, you're top ROTC and you're talking to one of the top dogs in the army, William Westmoreland, and he starts describing West Point to you and happens to mention it doesn't cost you anything, that we'll put you through college, whatever, he's gonna hear that as scholarship. That's what, to people even today of that age, if you don't pay to go to college, it's a scholarship. The fact that he doesn't know that they don't call it a scholarship does not disqualify him telling the story.

Even by your standards, this is pitiful.

Being former military myself, I know firsthand of several terms used by the Armed Forces which civilians call something else.

"Appointment", "scholarship"......BIG DEAL!!  At the end of the day, it meant Carson could go to that school a WITHOUT PAYING for his tuition, books, fees, room, and board.

good point

neither one happened

other things that didn't happen were being "nominated" and "applying"

in fact Westmoreland was not in a position that would have even allowed him to nominate Carson

More like bullet meet foot, which puts you down to 7 toes.

Per your own link to the USMA site, JROTC guys from honor units can apply. Guess who was number one in that category for his unit.

A 4-star general could easily fast-track Carson's application up the chain. With that, his grades and his JROTC standing, Carson would be a lock.

No I have heard both ways.  I read he was proven not to be lying.  I read weatmoreand was not even there. 

One of these claims is false.  Was westmoreland absent, as the liberals claim?  Because if so, Carson certainly lied- forgetting a few details sure isn't adding a famous person to the mix.

nope, they are ELIGIBLE to APPLY but still have to be nominated by someone on that list or nominated by their "Professor of Military Science or Senior Instructor"

and...of course... he also was never nominated and never applied

Carson was the top JROTC guy. His professor of military science would have made the recommendation, the general fast-tracks it up the nominating chain, and it's a done deal.

Professors of military science are usually full-bird colonels. Flag officers can move paperwork up the chain just  a wee bit faster.

well too bad he didn't do that and although you claim "done deal" I'm sure there are plenty of very well qualified candidate who actually MAKE THE EFFORT to get a nomination and actually apply who are turned down

How disrespectful of Carson to be so lazy as to not even apply yet make the claim he was offered a scholarship

complete and total fabrication on his part but we're seeing that a large part of his personal history is highly embellished if not completely fabricated

He never claimed he did it. Too bad for you such a simple fact sails over your head.

Plus, you missed the part where his mother verified the near-stabbing incident. That article is only about 18 years old.

he claimed he was offered a full scholarship and turned it down

we know that he made that claim and we know that's 100% false

I guess you're saying he never claimed that he was nominated and applied to West Point which of course is the only way he could have been actually offered an appointment or has he likes to call it... a full scholarship

From reading this thread (and others on this topic) it's pretty obvious that christians  believe if something "happened" long enough in the past it doesn't really matter if it happened or if it's totally made up.  You can still claim it's true.

For context please see the entire basis for the religion of christianity.

And as usual, when your premise gets torn to pieces, it's time to cue the religion-bashing.

Apparently, you've missed or ignored the multiple reports of how Carson has been slapping the media silly, regarding this hit job.

Howard Kurtz simply called it as Carson's "whipping the media's butt!"

and yet the facts remain

he claimed to have received an offer of a full scholarship and that has been proven to be a 100% lie

he was never nominated, never applied and never received an appointment

those facts continue to remain

There's nothing to defend. Instead, it simply continuing to smack down the left winged foolishness you and others keep spewing, as your claims of Carson's lying go up in smoke.

Whether it was this mess, or the claim about Carson's near-stabbing incident (verified by his mother 18 years ago). Even some mess about a prank exam at Yale. The media goofies claimed Carson may have fabricated that.....until one of the pranksters who pulled that stunt came to the forefront. He was actually surprised that Carson got gagged on that one.

Add to that the millions Carson has raised since then, and it all amounts to a liberal press getting its clock cleaned, by the good doctor.

Again, the zero-clue diet is bad for your health. Please resume consumption immediately.

Exactly. To this day, you can't state what Cain supposedly did to those former NRA workers, neither of whom told the press despite being cleared by the NRA.

Then you had the other two liars, one with a history of bogus charges about former employers and the other, a nutcase who lost a libel and slander case with her former business partner.

Gee.... Why would I believe Herman Cain over them?

I guess you've missed the number of bogus charges in the news over the past two years: Zimmerman-Martin, Brown-Wilson, Rolling Stone-UVA, etc.

Cain claimed he never did anything inappropriate in his 43 years of marriage.  I called bullshit on getbig instantly.  And months later, when he apologized and withdrew, I was proven right.

You weren't proven right on anything. Sex charges stick whether they're true or not. Ask the Duke lacrosse team about that one.

Carson is still high in the polls, raising money left and right, and this quibble is about the semantics about a school he never planned to attend.

You're projecting again as usual. The reality is that Carson has beaten back the media hit job on him and has prospered in the polls and in the coffers, as a result. BTW, guess which GOP guy has the highest favor ability, per ABC-WaPo pill.

As for Cain, show us where those women from NRA told the press specifically what Cain supposedly did to them (Spoiler: Cain was cleared during an investigation of these charges).

The blonde who claimed Cain wanted her to blow him to get her job back? Check her lying past.

The gal, who was supposedly screwing Cain for a decade? Check what happened to her last time she lied about somebody (I.e. her former business partner).

What millions? According to a Breitbart, Carson did four speeches over a 10-year span to events sponsored by Mannatech for the Washington Speakers Bureau. The Bureau got $42,000 for that last speech, some of which they paid to Carson.

He's been nationally vetted for months. It's only when he started beating Trump and H.Clinton in some polls that these bogus hitpieces pop up.

THIS

Cruz has shown himself to be professional and dignified.

megyn kelly can't defend/discuss all these holds in the story - she just blames politico.
carson cannot defend/discuss all the wrongs in his story - he just blames the media.

Repubs have a seriously flawed candidate.  This many proven lies and he's only 2 weeks into national vetting? 


"I had no relationship with that company" who paid him millions for speeches?   LOL ummmmmm

What millions? According to a Breitbart, Carson did four speeches over a 10-year span to events sponsored by Mannatech for the Washington Speakers Bureau. The Bureau got $42,000 for that last speech, some of which they paid to Carson.


Wait.  You mean 240 is back embellished?  Didn't see that one coming.  lol

Didn't he have a 9 year 'relationship' with the company?

If he made ONE FREAKING DOLLAR from them, then he had a relationship.

And he claimed, at the debate, he had ZERO relationship.  He lied.

$42k for one of the speeches.

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/10/ben-carson-mannatech/412987/

He also did other speeches, did videos, let them use his image on the website, etc.

"No relationship" = Carson is a liar and more importantly, he's an anti-gun candidate.

He made money from the Washington Speech Bureau. Check the Breitbart article.

He was on the mannatech's website.   That's a relationship.
He endorsed their product - saved him from cancer, right?  Endorsing is a relationsihp.

MCWAY, I know, you still believe CAIN was framed and he's innocent despite him admitted payoffs and sexting. 

BUT please tell me you don't truly believe carson had NO RELATIONSHIP with that company?  He had a 9 year relationship with them.  I guess if you can overlook Cain's 11-year affair, you can look past Carson's 9 year relationship.

More revisionist history on you part, 240. Not only has Cain NOT admitted to payoffs or sexting, but he released a detailed dismantling of these allegations two years, when this crap resurfaced as he was starting his radio show.

Yet you'll go to left-wing hack sites to get "unbiased" info on Cain.

Besides, I do recall sourcing multiple articles from multiple news sites, citing some of the very things Cain mentioned on his site.

there were texts and receipts and a nice apology.   "Never did anything inappropriate in 43 years" and "i'm willing to take a polygraph" but never would.

LOL  sorry, you might be the ONLY person on earth that still thinks cain was never naughty.

Polygraphs are useless,completely subjective.

They are useful for making people nervous, that's it. Just don't bother with Mcway dude, he is out to lunch, his staunch religious views have clearly permeated his mind completely. Mcway is never wrong, EVER!

Big deal! Cain never denied calling this woman or helping her financially. That hardly constitutes an affair. The info is on the link for all to see. Maybe you should laugh at yourself for believing a woman who got sued in court for libel and LOST over the former Godfather's Pizza CEO.

My religious views have zilch to do with the evidence backing Cain and refuting his accusers. Just as 240 brings up Cain when he struggles with me on topics having nothing to do with the former Godfather's Pizza CEO, you take shots at my religious views when you're running on empty, on a particular topic.

BTW, notice how 240 doesn't mention a polygraph for Cain's accusers, especially the two proven liars, one of whom lost a libel suit against her. Where's the presumption of innocence for the accused?

Oh, that must be my "staunch religious views" again, that whole innocent-until-proven-guilty thing.
