Quote:Carson wrote in Gifted Hands that the professor, who taught a class called Perceptions 301, had pulled a hoax on his 150 students by pretending they all had to re-sit a final exam because their papers had “inadvertently burned”.
According to Carson, every student apart from him refused to retake the exam. Once the prank was revealed, he wrote, the professor presented Carson with $10 as a reward for his honesty, and an article about the incident was published in the the Yale Daily News .
According to the Wall Street Journal, no such article appears in the archives of the campus newspaper and Yale has no record of any such class being taught.

I think the dumb fuck has early-onset Alzheimers.

Let's not encourage that story, Min. The idiots will become convinced that their long-sought successor to Reagan has finally surfaced.

In all honesty, I'm beginning to agree with Min on this.

The guy has some serious mental issues.  Not just religious, but, to me, obvious psychological issues

Yes, he has. But, even though I agree that this guy would be a clear and present danger to the public when becoming president, one should never forget what he did for medicine. Even if there wasn't dosh involved.

I agree entirely.

His achievements in medicine are incredible - something I doubt I'll ever achieve, myself.

Let's also not forget that this man:


Was the front runner for the GOP at this time during the 2011-2012 campaign season. Then he was vetted. And turned out to be a serial sexual predator.

This is just the process.

Thats no way to talk about the next leader of the free world.

 “I mean, [our so­ci­ety is] very much like Nazi Ger­many. And I know you’re not sup­posed to say ‘Nazi Ger­many,’ but I don’t care about polit­ic­al cor­rect­ness. You know, you had a gov­ern­ment us­ing its tools to in­tim­id­ate the pop­u­la­tion. We now live in a so­ci­ety where people are afraid to say what they ac­tu­ally be­lieve.” 
Ben Carson. The man, The myth, The legend.

...the tosser....

Yes, he doesn't care about political correctness . . . or history.

He sacrificed all that for jesus!

At least the 7th day adventist version of the godboy.

Quote:Carson: Loss of Keystone Leaves U.S. With No Place to Store Grain

Sure, Carson is a whack job but so is all of the other candidates.  There isn't one that's worth a damn except for maybe Sanders.  They are all insane liars.  But as for the USMA story goes there's no objective proof that what Carson said about being promised a "full ride" is a lie.  It's certainly questionable if the person who supposedly made the promise had the stuff to deliver on it.  

Although Charles Rangel isn't involved in this story if he had been there would have been a zero chance that Rangel would have nominated Carson for one of the slots.  That guy would rather crap 100 spiny cactuses than nominate a black person for a slot at one of the military academies.  

The bottom line:  Carson said that someone made him a promise.  He never claimed that it ever went beyond a private conversation.  So the media is just filling the air with shit about this particular issue.  There's probably 500 other things they could nail his behind to the wall with but this isn't one of them.
