You too can learn to use the right-wing confirmation bias filter as a powerful money-making tool!

Yeah never mind the fact that the media CONTINUES to dig into Obama’s past a full 7 years AFTER he was elected.

No rational person actually believes that Obama was not vetted. But Ben Carson does not qualify to be called rational.

These jackwipes think that if no expunged felonies or dead bodies or forged birf certificates are discovered, it must be for lack of vetting, not lack of, you know, substance.
Remember when ABC sent an entire crew to Jakarta to investigate the alleged “madrass” where Bams got "radicalized? but instead found a nice school with nice kids and former faculty who had nice things to say about him?
“Shoulda dug harder … also Benghaziiiiii!!!111!!!”

Dear Ben Carson,

All these things you complain about in President Obama’s background that you say weren’t investigated by the media - may I ask where you heard or read them, whom you learned of them from?

That would be the media, wouldn’t it?

In other words: Your critique refutes itself, jackass.

With sincere contempt and indifference,

Carson’s a narcissist. So, by his definition, no matter what scrutiny Obama came under, it doesn’t begin to approach the cross Dr. Ben has to bear.
But by blubbering like a baby, Ben Carson demonstrates once again how unfit he is to be President.

This just constitutes another lie. The media did indeed investigate Obama’s life story during the 2008 campaign - there was a roadmap for them in Obama’s books, after all, just as there is in Carson’s memoir. Obama wrote those books carefully. In “Dreams from my Father” he explicitly stated (I think it was in a forward) that several characters in the book were composites and that some names were changed. That is appropriate disclosure of the methods almost always used in the writing of memoir. It is when the author fails to disclose that there is trouble. And of course there are often disagreements about interpretation. Obama faced some pretty harsh criticism, for example, of his relationship with Bill Ayers, even though he met the man only one time (or so I read). Ultimately, voters were left to decide.

The voters will ultimately decide on Ben Carson as well. Carson does not have a very realistic understanding of how political campaigns work and how fundamentally difficult, tough and unfair they are.

Aside from the hyper-intense vetting, I also remember several pundits, politicians, and “journalists” speculating that being a community organizer, Constitutional law professor, and US Senator was simply not enough political experience to be President. Hmmm… wonder what those same people have to say about Ben, Trump, Carly…

In one rant on how unfair the media was being Dr. Carson mentions that the government was preventing the release of Obama’s Occidental College Records. I have a few questions.
Does Dr. Carson know that this is due to a federal student personal information ban that keeps student personal stuff. . . personal?. . . private?
How does Dr. Carson even know about Occidental College and Fox News’ demands to release his personal record if he wasn’t aware of any media that questioned or vetted President Obama?
Does he know that when he lies like that smoke comes out of his ears?
And I believe I hear baby Jesus crying.

I could be bounded in a wingnut shell and imagine such things, were it not that I already have bad dreams.
