That's funny right there. My opinion about Carson is that he misremembered the two events twenty years prior. It was more about understanding that someone could do that instead of just implying that he is a liar. BTW I initially defended the liberal news guy Brian Williams. Gave him the benefit...

The details were confused from a recollection of events twenty years prior. Whoopdeedoo.

Turtle wrote: Carson wrote that his ROTC instructor — identified as Sgt. Hunt — introduced him to Westmoreland “and I and my girlfriend, Morgan Fairchild, had dinner with him and the Congressional Medal winners.” I got the Tommy Flanagan 'pathological liar' - and his girlfriend Morgan Fairchild...

Well you did say no one in particular. So you were being particular. I haven't defended Carson that much in past threads so I don't know where you are getting that he is being excused about 'everything'. I've defended Carson in this instance because it hasn't been proven that he actually...

Unless Carson is lying and never met Westmoreland or was never impressed upon him by brass from West Point that he could have a scholarship, this story is much ado about nothing. That he may have gotten his events mixed up about when and where he met Westmoreland and offered a 'scholarship'...

Unimportant details like the 'mischaracterization' of his mother's health care issue :rolleyes: (during his healthcare campaign) Just pointing out the silly double standard that the media has. Obama's recollections were viewed by them as artitistic literary work that benefitted his Presidential...

Most wouldn't know about 'misremembered details' of Hillary or Obama because the regular media routinely buries those stories. The Audacity of Myth: How the Media Ignored Obama's Lies About His Own Biography and Memoir

Aha! Got him, Inspector Clouseau.

I've heard comments that since Ben Carson was active in the ROTC program and that he excelled in it, along with getting explemplary grades in school, as well as being a minority, that he would have been slam dunk to get a 'scholarship' to W.P. It would have behooved Westmoreland and his brass...

Or this:

Tell that to West Point. It was in their ads.

An example of someone recalling a significant occasion would be this: A person had to recall the very first time they had a date with their future wife. Some may vividly and accurately recall the restaurant and movie they went to. Others may confuse their first date with the second or third and...

Not really proven that he actually lied nor that he made up the story about being offered a scholorship. He may very well had been promised a scholorship, but merely confused the exact date and occasion of events.

Remembering something from twenty years prior. Someone can get some of their facts wrong. It doesn't mean their lying or senile. It's pretty much human nature. I do believe he did meet Westmoreland at the previous banquet and was impressed upon him ( him or WP brass) that he could have a...

Probably not. Williams claimed he was shot down, which didn't happen. Carson claimed he met Westmoreland and that he was offered a 'scholarship' to West Point. He may still have met Westmoreland at the other banquet and could have been told by him or other WP brass that 'you're as good as in' if...

Yes we know he said that. He might be confusing the time he met Westmoreland with the earlier banquet when he was in Detroit. It does happen you know. People recalling something from over twenty years ago( his 1992 book) might mix up the two occasions. Heck, sometimes I forget where I drove a...

So you know Carson wasn't at the other banquet? Got it.

Probably mixed up the banquets.

So you know that Westmoreland or other military personel didn't tell him 'we can get you in to West Point', essentially offering him a scholarship?

Politico changed their lede.
