Ah I see. So which campaign are you working for?
Got some good advice for you from a 30 year veteran of politcs. Stay out of the gutter and stick to making the case FOR your candidate.
Stupid tactics politically to piss off people your candidate is going to need to vote for them

“Since Jul 29, 2015”
-—Oh please LMAO
How can any sane white person vote for a dude that is friends with kill whitey Farrakhan? Carson is a fraud.

-—Right back at ya, a$$wipe
“Ok do it your way. No crying when you lose now”
-—Again, right back at ya, a$$wipe
There is nothing sane about white guilt.
9 Black grads out of 1,000 in 1969 at West Point.
Apparently FR has decided to engage in a full throated defense of Dr. Carson today simply because Politico wrote the story. I’ve been arguing here all day about the nomination process and how if you understand that, it is clear that Carson is lying or exaggerating. However, it seems Freepers are willing to chalk this up as a simple case of semantics even as
Carson and his handlers employ the Hillary Clinton version of revisions and restatements. Thanks for posting. I agree with you...
they are reporting now that Westmoreland wasn’t even in Detroit for the date of that supposed “dinner” with the MOH winners.
“first question and all the candidates toss the media a finger and interview each other.”
I would pay to see that.
They did not call it a scholarship at Westpoint but what he was offered was basically the same and even better than a scholarship because what Westmoreland offered him was to pay ALL his expenses including spending money. What a non story this was.
Just heard him splaining this story on the Hannity radio show. To be frank, he seemed a bit dodgy. Paraphrasing...”well, I may very well have met General Westmoreland”...”I was invited to a lot of these events because I was the City Director for ROTC”...”they told me I could get into West Point, but I shut it down right there...told them I wanted to be a doctor”...”this is going on 50 years ago”...
Sean was not interrogating Carson like a Greta or a Megyn would on FNC.
Listening to the Charlie Rose video clip, he seems to have exaggerated that he actually received an offer from West Point and did meet Westmoreland. This is a short clip from a longer interview, so I’d like to see the whole thing.
My gut tells me he’s caught in an over-embellishment of an event of long ago when he was a teenager...some threads of truth, but tyne story polished up a bit. Of course, this will not stop the Left from branding him with the “L” word. I wish the MSM would be as interested in the Hildabeast’s numerous lies and also in her other personal “L” word! ;-)
His statements regarding Mannatech were enough for me.
When you are a bright but poor black 17 yr old and
you want to attend college the word “scholarship” may
be an important part of your lexicon. That the
funding of that education does not accurately fit
the true definition of a scholarship can easily be
lost on the youth, let alone his friends and
family. Further, as you grow older you may never
understand the distinction between a scholarship
and a free military academy education if you
chose not to take advantage of that military
academy opportunity and instead chose a path
which brought you success, fame, and fortune.
Dr Carson. ....NOT GUILTY!
West Point told ABC news there is no way to prove, or disprove, Dr Carson’s statements about West Point.
If there is no evidence from West Point, what is the source for Politicos much repeated smear of Dr Carson as a “liar”?
Politco claimed West Point told them he did not apply. That has now been documented a lie by Politco
Think the American People have a right to know who gave Politico this fraudulent information? Politico needs to provide their evidence because right now there is NOTHING to back up their accusation.
Seems we might have Rathergate 2.0 brewing here
I’m not a Carson fan but...
As far as I know, there is no tuition to go to West Point. Either you are accepted and you go for free in exchange for your service or you are not accepted.
If a high ranking member of the military said he could guarantee that Carson would be admitted then that is the same as saying, “You could go to our school for free”
I attended the Naval Academy, three of my children attended/attend service academies (one Naval Academy, two Air Force Academy). I can see how a person who is unfamiliar with the academy nomination/appointment process might misconstrue an offer/endorsement from a general or other connected persons as a “scholarship”. Since Carson did not pursue/investigate an appointment to West Point, his ignorance would be understandable.
