"hate" referred to your teabagger tourette's and your constant reference to "hate"

So is there any proof he actually got offered a "scholarship"?

I was offered "scholarships" for which I have no proof, calls from coaches encouraging me to apply and attend schools that I chose not to, how do you prove that?.....given the fact that West Point was actively recruiting black students and he was the highest regarded in Detroit at the time and met with the contingent it would be highly unlikely that the subject was not mentioned in my opinion


What congressman nominated him? noone ever said a congressman nominated


Is there any record of West Point receiving that or approving him for admission?

he stated that he only every applied to one school...Yale...while there were many that wanted him given his record...


I already provided a link to an article which showed he had a relationship with the nutritional company even though he recently denied it.

what was the relationship? he used a product and said he liked it....was he ever an employee or paid spokesman?


So did he or did he not try to kill someone? did he?

His book said he was violent and tried to kill someone and tried to attack his mom with a hammer. did it?

I wish you applied the same level of scrutiny to everyone

Come on Scott, this is an easy one if he was paid to do the speeches, he lied about this.

On NBC, Carson continued: “I am soft-spoken. I do have a tendency to be relaxed. I wasn’t always like that. There was a time when I was, you know, very volatile. But, you know, I changed.

“As a teenager, I would go after people with rocks, and bricks, and baseball bats, and hammers. And, of course, many people know the story when I was 14 and I tried to stab someone. And, you know, fortunately … my life has been changed. And I’m a very different person now.”

(The "" mean Carson actually said these words...")

Carson, the author of a number of bestselling books, has often told the story of his wayward youth and the time he attempted to stab a friend. The person he threatened with a hammer was his mother.


Does any of this preclude him from running? No, but his story is getting silly, and it appears he is twisting things to make his story sound even better which is too bad, because w/o the West Point or hammer or stab story he still has a compelling story

And yes Jim, Hillary lied about the sniper file to conflate things as well. Yes she probably knew Bill was having affair. Her story sucks as well.

It bothers me that all around these are the best we have to offer. Sanders can't win a general. Period, Nebe. Hillary will probably pick Jim Webb as a VP to get the middle of the road blue dog/Regan democrats and win the general.

I agree that he appears less than forthcoming regarding his answer...he was put on the spot and should not have out of hand dismissed any relationship

I don't understand why the childhood anger issues are relevant or in question..he grew up in Detroit during the 60's.. do a little googling about Detroit during the 60's...we threw rocks at each other in my neighborhood and we didn't have race riots going on at the time, the little puke across the street threw a hammer at me once and got a beating for it...where did you guys grow up?...a couple of kids in my class blew themselves up with a pipe bomb and my brother got angry and chased me down the street with a knife once, I kept running because he seemed pretty serious...I'd never have threatened my mother mostly because my Dad would have kicked my ass...I'm not sure Carson's Dad was around...
