Discussion: Ben Carson Says His 'Sources' On Syria Are Better Than The White House

This reminds me of when (former) Rep. Allen West said he had a higher security clearance than President Obama because of his (ending in disgrace) military background – never mind that, as President, Obama also serves as Commander-in-Chief, and that no one can be authorized to withhold information from him.

Speaking before the Ohio County Women’s Republican Club in Wheeling, West Virginia, Senator McCarthy waved before his audience a piece of paper. According to the only published newspaper account of the speech, McCarthy said that, “I have here in my hand a list of 205 [State Department employees] that were known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping the policy of the State Department.” In the next few weeks, the number fluctuated wildly, with McCarthy stating at various times that there were 57, or 81, or 10 communists in the Department of State. In fact, McCarthy never produced any solid evidence that there was even one communist in the State Department.

Carson might have a point. Clearly his buddy Jesus is his source and the White House has to rely on the CIA, State Department, and the NSA. On the other hand Carson might just be delusional.

I thought the same thing about Trump’s “secret” foolproof plan to defeat Isis. One he was willing to share after he got elected…

And McCain…didn’t he claim to know where bin Laden was and how to get him but wouldn’t say unless he got elected?

Seems to be SOP for these clowns, I’m thinking.

Hey it worked for Tricky Dick. Maybe he thinks we will fall for that nonsense again. Given how stupid his followers are, he might be right.

“I have several sources that I’ve got material from, I’m surprised my sources are better than theirs,” he told reporters after a town hall event.

The fact that your sources disagree with those the White House has access to isn’t evidence that you have better sources, it is a sign that your sources are likely b.s. you narcissistic egomaniacal fuck.

Ben, you no longer matter. Yesterday’s revelation “Costa’d” your candidacy. Even for grifting GOPers, that was an endorsement too far.

Please share. I remember a mention of Costa on MSNBC last night but can’t remember the specifics.

The saddest thing about this is his worshipers will believe this whackjob over the WH.
