Ben Carson Fabricated Violent Juvenile Past, CNN Investigation Suggests
https://www.yahoo.com/celebrity/news...02.html?ref=gs

"SNIP..........

On the campaign trail, the former neurosurgeon has recounted being an angry juvenile in his native Detroit — stabbing, throwing rocks at people, hurling bricks and beating others with baseball bats.

But through interviews with nine former classmates and friends, CNN was unable to verify any incidents supporting those claims.

One former classmate told the network: “I don’t know nothing about that… it would have been all over the whole school.” Another classmate
told CNN, “I personally do not have knowledge of those incidents… I wondered, ‘When did that happen?'”

A former friend of Carson said if he was as big a hothead as he described, it wouldn’t be a secret.”He got through his day trying not to be noticed… I remember him having a pocket saver. He had thick glasses. He was skinny and unremarkable.”

Borowitz...

Carson Plummets in Polls Amid Reports He Did Not Stab Anyone

DES MOINES (The Borowitz Report)—New reports indicating that Ben Carson might not have actually stabbed anyone during his youth have sent the retired neurosurgeon plummeting in the latest Republican Presidential polls.

Carson supporters, reeling from the news that their candidate’s past might have been devoid of stabbing, have deserted his candidacy in droves, suggesting that Republican voters viewed Carson’s stabbing as a key part of his résumé.

Indeed, a recent University of Minnesota poll showed that a full third of Carson supporters singled out “his stabbing experience” as a top reason for supporting him for the nation’s highest office.

In Iowa, where Carson was the front-runner before the non-stabbing bombs hit, voters like Carol Foyler, of Des Moines, expressed dismay and disillusionment that the retired doctor might have fabricated his stabbing exploits to make himself more appealing to Republican voters.

If it's a medical problem, maybe there is no help or whatever drugs are the "cure" causes more problems elsewhere and just isn't worth it.

Ben Carson addresses addiction ‘as a doctor’ by faulting the ‘values and principles’ of addicts

Unfortunately, Carson did not use his experience as a famed neurosurgeon to address the biological component of addiction.

And his assertion that addiction is caused by faulty morality does not square with the National Ins ute on Drug Abuse, which defines addiction as “a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences.”

“Addiction is a lot like other diseases, such as heart disease. Both disrupt the normal, healthy functioning of the underlying organ, have serious harmful consequences, and are preventable and treatable, but if left untreated, can last a lifetime,” according to the NIH. “Scientists estimate that genetic factors account for between 40 and 60 percent of a person’s vulnerability to addiction; this includes the effects of environmental factors on the function and expression of a person’s genes.”

Not only he is stupid, ignorant as a politician, his puritannical Christian Sharia makes him stupid, ignorant about addiction, TRUMPing his medical education.

He wants to keep the War on Drugs going because it has been a huge and increasing success.

He's pandering to the superior, Christian whites who see addiction as a moral problem for non-whites only.

He's an ignorant who shouldn't be let near ANY political office or govt job.

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

WASHINGTON — Presidential candidate Ben Carson has issued a dire warning that President Obama’s cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline has left the United States with “virtually no place to store grain.”

Without the massive pipeline, Carson told Fox News, the nation’s network of silos is woefully inadequate “to store the bounty of grain that we soweth.”

Carson said that as President, he would seek additional places to store grain, such as “the hollowed-out heads on Mt. Rushmore.”

“A nation’s greatness is measured by its ability to store grain,” he said. “I will return America to its former greatness.”

Another Ben Carson Tale Implodes: No Evidence Supports Claim He Shielded White Classmates From 1968 Race Riot

Now the Wall Street Journal has gone back to fact check a claim Carson made last month, in which he says he shielded white students from rioting after the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968. The Journal could find no evidence the event occurred.

“It may have happened, but I didn’t see it myself or hear about it,” Gregory Vartanian, a white high school classmate of Carson’s who was on ROTC with him and is now a retired U.S. Marshal, told the Journal.

In Carson’s account to the Journal last month, black students unleashed fury and grief over the slaying of King on white classmates at Detroit’s Southwestern High. As a junior, Carson had a key to the biology lab because he worked there part-time. Carson claimed he hid a few frightened white students inside to shield them from the unrest. He could not recall any of their names.

None of the half-dozen former classmates of Carson or his high school physics teacher could recall white students hiding from rioting the in the biology lab when interviewed by the Journal — though they all remembered the riot itself.

Why all this attention about Carson?

Is it both black and white bigotry?

One side hasting blacks, the other hating uncle toms?

"On Friday, The Wall Street Journal looked into another episode: “In his 1990 autobiography, ‘Gifted Hands,’ Mr. Carson writes of a Yale psychology professor who told Mr. Carson, then a junior, and the other students in the class — identified by Mr. Carson as Perceptions 301 — that their final exam papers had ‘inadvertently burned,’ requiring all 150 students to retake it.

The new exam, Mr. Carson recalled in the book, was much tougher. All the students but Mr. Carson walked out. ‘The professor came toward me. With her was a photographer for the Yale Daily News who paused and snapped my picture,’ Mr. Carson wrote. ‘ “A hoax,” the teacher said. “We wanted to see who was the most honest student in the class.” ’ Mr. Carson wrote that the professor handed him a $10 bill.”

But here is the kicker, according to The Journal:

“No photo identifying Mr. Carson as a student ever ran, according to the Yale Daily News archives, and

no stories from that era mention a class called Perceptions 301.

Yale Librarian Claryn Spies said Friday there was no psychology course by that name or class number during any of Mr. Carson’s years at Yale.”"

The Journal pointed out that Carson falsely claimed last week in a Facebook post that “Every signer of the Declaration of Independence had no elected office experience.”

The paper interviewed Benjamin L. Carp, an associate professor of history at Brooklyn College and author of books on the American Revolution. According to The Journal’s article on the matter:

“Mr. Carp said Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, John Han and many other signers had been elected members of their colonial assemblies, prior to signing the Declaration.”

In comparing the success of his Carson Scholars Fund to other nonprofits,

Carson has repeatedly claimed that “nine out of 10 nonprofits fail,”

a claim that The Washington Post Fact Checker hasrated false with four Pinocchios, the worst rating — what the newspaper simply calls “whoppers.”

Of the 19 claims of Carson the fact checking site PolitiFact has delved into, none have been ruled true and only one mostly true.

Indeed most — like Carson’s claim that he “ ‘didn’t have an involvement with’ nutritional supplement company Mannatech” — have either been ruled false or what the site calls “pants on fire,” a statement the site rules as not only not accurate, but “ridiculous.”

Carson is a hard-core religionist in a fringe cult, one of the people who believe myths and lies as true, and generally make up .

That "thinking" also applies outside of their religions.

I'm fascinated by the notion that assessing the truthfulness of claims that Dr. Carson himself has made about his past is character assassination.

If you don't want to be subjected to that kind of scrutiny, don't run for President; else, if you want to run for President knowing your past will be subjected to scrutiny, then at least be honest about the past.
