Discussion:

Well, I got news for him, if that was what he was trying to avoid (assuming the person exists at all). By now saying its a close relative, he has shrunken the field of people to be interviewed about this considerably, making it a whole lot easier to verify one way or the other.

So…he’s a liar but it’s up to YOU to ‘believe’ in him or not…got it.

HE DOEs BRAIN Surgery LIBtard LOSer. AND HE LOVEs JEsUS. THIS renderS HIM INCAPABLE of lying!111!!one!11!!!

This is a pretty sensationalist headline. He didn’t cop to the story from his bio being “fictitious.” He just says he used pseudonyms, which is a pretty common narrative device for authors that don’t want to name specific people. I’m all for revealing this huckster as the fraud that he is, but stories/headlines like this do a disservice to that end.

Pyramids don’t hold grain. Being incarcerated doesn’t make you gay. Carson’s biography doesn’t hold truth. Carson’s candidacy doesn’t hold a chance of success.

HE’s NOT reaching OUT TO BLAcks? DID you WAKe UP TODAY under A ROCK? His CAMPAIGN released AN ADd WITH RAPPING music WITH RAPper OUTreachING TO blaCKs in the ONLY LANGUAge THEY UNDerstAND: RHYMING to A BEat.

This man is an astute marketer, or has one on his payroll, if nothing else. He knew the market for his books would be white evangelicals. He knew that that audience likes nothing so much as a story of redemption. He knew that that audience likes their redemption stories to begin with a character who is really at the bottom, at the beginning, before they “turn to the Lord.” So, he had to add a huge dose of violence, criminality, and even attempted murder to his life story. It sold a bunch of books, that’s for sure. But this should really be the end of his pursuit of political office. The candidate, himself, is mentally unbalanced.

But, but, but, you mean ALL the negroes aren’t violent without the civilizing hand of whi-Jesus?

“Do you think I’m a pathological liar, like CNN does, or do you think I’m an honest person?” Carson said. “I’m going to leave it up to the American people to make that decision.”

Here’s a vote for pathological liar.

Senator Franken needs to revise Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them to include chapters on Carson, Trump, Christie, etc.

For the same reason that Joe Paterno was an exemplary coach…all while having a stupendous lapse in judgement with Jerry Sandusky.

Or any number of child psychologists raising brats.

Some hicks in Iowa, neo-Confederates in South Carolina or Hooterville-denizens in New Hampshire will certainly give you the Go-Ahead to Stoopid-Krazy. But that’s all before Nomination-Time.

The American people (in the General) probably will not…and if (by some miracle to all of us) they DO, the G.O.P. will simply self-destruct earlier than scheduled.

The names have been changed to protect the innocent and the events have been made up to boost the author.

Oh! what tangled webs he weaves…

as he hoists himself on his own petard.

Without googling-----who knows what a petard is?

The secular progressives! They made me do it! (I think I need a “Secular Progressive” tee shirt.)

C’mon guys, is this the best ever or what? This batch of grifters easily tops the last one. Obviously this is “The Producers” for sure. He is in this to make money off of running, not to actually be the frontrunner and get reamed for every stupid grifter thing he ever said. What a scammer.

I was just waking up but I swear I heard him say he threatened his mother in the head with a hammer.

Having said that, another sketchy headline from TPM leading one to believe he lied about the incidents whereas it was just the names of the people that were fictitious.

I don’t know why but these headlines really piss me off.

By the Power of Numbskull…

It is so frightening that while HRC and Sanders are both polling well against the rest of the GOP field, they are getting trounced by this guy.

“Do you think I’m a pathological liar, like CNN does, or do you think I’m an honest person?” Carson said. “I’m going to leave it up to the American people to make that decision.”

I’m going with choice C, which is “total f-in nutball”.

To be fair, didn’t Obama use “composites” in his biography? People often play narrative games with a bio. This is nothing new, and I don’t really think it’s too much of a big deal at this point. There are lots more things besides this that should scare you about a Ben Carson presidency.

It’s BLAME PRESS TIME AGAIN!

This guy is plum out of his mind.
