Ben has a problem

The only thing that is failing a smell test is Politico. Carson apparently was the top high school ROTC student in Detroit. His ROTC commander and Gen. Westmoreland told him they could wire an appointment for him, which is the equivalent of a full ride.

Does anyone really doubt that? So it is a scandal over the fact that he said "scholarship" when the literal term was "appointment?" An "appointment" that gets you a free full ride?

The MSM, and perhaps some establishment backed media are in desperate search of a scandal (s), especially regarding Carson (and Trump)...the outsiders. This latest round is spin bordering on journalistic malpractice (what a surprise?), but I expect many outlets will be breaking out the whole cloth before long if this fails to achieve the desired result.

POLITICO EDITS BEN CARSON HIT PIECE, DROPS CLAIMS OF ‘FABRICATION’

BREITBART NEWS6 Nov 20150

Politico has rewritten the headline, lede, and several portions of the text of an article accusing Ben Carson of “fabricating” part of his personal biography involving the Military Academy at West Point.

The story, bearing the byline of reporter Kyle Cheney, now omits the original version’s declarations that Carson’s statements were false or fraudulent, as seen in an archive of the article.

The original headline reads: “Ben Carson admits fabricating West Point scholarship.”

The updated headline reads: “Exclusive: Carson claimed West Point ‘scholarship’ but never applied.”

The media only does this to republicans they are scared of and the media is scared shitless of this guy. I dont support him to get the nomination, but if he does, I would gladly vote for him over Hillary.

Keep your head up and Ben.
 
It was revealed today that what Hillary did was a crime with her classified emails.

But the news tonight and on Sunday will be about one thing. Carson's scholarship.

He could draw many black votes that would normally go dem, and once they leave they won't be back. A black conservative role model has to be one the progressive's worst nightmares. The establishment hates him for a different reason. He's a conservative. They hate conservatives more than they do progressives.

Well sure. They hate Ben Carson, Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams, Condi Rice, etc. There is nothing the dems hate more than a black off the plantation. After all, if you are black why would you want to be a brain surgeon when you can be on welfare and live a life of dependence on the democrat party.
