Ben Carson admits fabricating West Point scholarship

But nobody is “offered a scholarship” to West Point without going through the complete application process.

Yeppers, that makes West Point a bunch of liars because they state they will give a "full scholarship", and (according to you) they don't offer it.

[celmak]

Once again you ignorant fool.

And, once again, you show yourself to be an illiterate moron.

I have a West Point grad in my family.
We talk about West Point often.

And how many West Point grads do you have in your family?

Two uncles were there, and they had a good laugh when I showed them the West Point prospectus stating that cadets, "receive a full scholarship". They didn't know this either.

Seven.

Not including me and my son.

That's nine, if you count them.

Were your uncles “offered” a scholarship upfront to West Point
by Westmoreland?

How do you keep a DemoRAT troll in suspense?

[tennmountainman]

Ah, avoiding the answer. Nice evasive response.

Such an intelligent response coming from a DemoRAT troll who believes a DemoRAT hacker's Politico piece rather than someone fighting for a conservative cause; and has a hissy fit over the difference between "offered" a scholarship and "receive" a scholarship.

Thanks!

You are such an evasive person for claiming to be such a Christian.

I asked you a simple question about your two uncles.

We’re your uncles “offered” a scholarship to West Point by someone
at West Point. It is such an easy question, that even an evasive Christian
should be able to answer it.

He’s been caught in these little fibs before.

I really want to support him as a second choice, even though he’s not my candidate. But he makes it awfully hard.

Do you not understand standard English?

When someone is “offered” either a job or a scholarship, that means an actual job or scholarshiop was promised. It doesn’t mean that someone was merely offered the opportunity to apply for such.

Ben Carson has been in the professional “hero” business for decades. Such types are notorious embellishers in general.

[celmak]

Read Matthew 26: 59-63 and you will understand.

Yeppers, West Point lies when they give the offer that cadets will receive full scholarships!

[9YearLurker]

You’re just an idiot.

ANY story that is an attack on a current conservative running for President, *especially* an attack piece on a black conservative, I am HIGHLY skeptical of, and always will be in this political climate.
