It really doesn’t matter if it is a lie or not.

The point is - FReepers believe he lied and have (with the rest of the media) thrown the good doctor under the bus.
Nobody knee-jerks like FReepers. We eat our own at the drop of the hat.
It’s the metric we should use to tell the FReepers from the wannabes.
I imagine much of aren't very good eatin'. We must taste like old weathered leather. Doesn't apply to the ladies. Just the ole smelly men...: )
Amen to that.....Things have certainly changed around here since I first joined.
Yes, I’ll admit I swallowed it. I guess my excuse is that I thought they had him on video actually admitting the story was a fabrication. I usually have better discernment on these things...but .... mea culpa.
I didn’t, and I don’t even like Carson.
He’s not one of ours if you define ours as conservative. If you define it as moderates that approve of gun grabbing and amnesty, then it would apply. Because conservatives do not do stupid crap like he does on those two very very important issues.
Totally agree with your comments.
My first instinct was that the Political story was a manipulation and twisting of something Dr. Carson had written.
What was more shocking was the vitriolic knee-jerk instant trashing of of Dr. Carson by so many Freepers. My hope is that many or most of them are trolls.
It is pathetic, unjust and stomach-turning. NOT FR’s greatest moment by a long shot.
