Thank you for walking through the sewer that is Faux News. I for one have no desire to walk neck deep in Bull Shit.

Actually, there’s already an equivalent story about Obama to the West Point story. See Wayne Allyn Root’s claims that Obama never attended Columbia.

“Look, he’s not a regular lying, thieving negro anymore. He has been washed clean by the blood of Jesus so he’s almost as good as us White People.”

The comments and conjecture are all fine and dandy, but the real story is: There is no such thing as a “West Point scholarship!” Students don’t pay to attend, in fact they are paid while attending. It’s all on the taxpayer dime. In return, the students are expected to serve in the military.

You know, whenever a Dem is accused of whatever I tend to keep my mouth shut until the truth comes out. Conservatives wait till the truth comes out and then try to distort it.

They’re so weird like that.

We’re at the point now where a prominent Conservative could kill Jesus Christ and half the base would excuse it because of the “liberal media”.

yes, and don’t forget that Bush kept us safe too.

I didn’t hear him CALLED ‘pathological’ when they caught him in this lie, he just tossed the word in there when referring to himself. I am no doctor of psychiatry, but this sounds like he has had this conversation before. I read Josh’s memo about this guy being in a mid level Ponzi scheme when he was ‘drafted’ by “hundreds of thousands of people began to tell me that I needed to run.” As for his imminent demise in the primaries, it is just a matter of time.

Now that Trump is fizzling a bit, the establishment is chomping at the bit, hoping for Benghazi Carson’s demise. They can look to Cruz and Rubio now, and mostly Cruz. lol

I turned down scholarships from both Harvard and Yale. Someone told me I could get scholarships to both. I decided not to apply, so I kind of turned down those scholarships.

And Politico is Dan Rather is this case. Same shit, different day.
Obfuscation is an art form in the Republi-con world.
Watch the lazy media go along with the spin, and end up with “both sides do it”.
That’s the worse part imo.

Nailed it!

It should be interesting to see if the popular shift towards Carson goes back to Trump, or if the Teabag nutjobs start supporting “Establishment RINO” figures like Rubio, Jindal or Bush.

Hey, you can do BOTH!

This is great news, I think. Doctor Ben’s been layin’ down some serious bogusity about science n’ shit, messin’ with a big ol’ straw version of the Big Bang, another big ol’ straw man on quantum theory (actually showing restraint on both messin’ around with that kitty’s litter and not messin’ with it, simultaneously), yet another on evolution (Oh how that Darwin pulled the wool over all our eyes, but not Ben Carson, oh no!), the temper thing with the knasty knife & the buckle bit & the Bob-not-Bob friend-not-really thing, and just this week he gave us PYRAMID TRUTHINESS, people, R we not entertained?

But we KNOW all that just mars the figurative veneer of his potential for story telling. This couldn’t end so early, he’s got to hang in there for all the pre-voting incredible contestant shrinkery to come at least.

Fab on, Doc; fab on.

Trump is already capitalizing on the story, smelling Carson’s blood in the water. The other candidates will devour the carcass, with or without the Pundit Class and the Lamestream Media.

Polls are by and large nonsense, particularly this far out. Do you really think all the wealthy Rethugs living in Bloomfield Hills will be voting for Carson (or Trump)? Do you think all that many African-Americans in Michigan will be voting for Carson? Carson is toast at this point. In the space of five days he’s been shown to be a complete loon and, probably, a habitual liar.
