Ben Carson admits fabricating West Point scholarship
Ben Carson’s campaign on Friday admitted, in a response to an inquiry from POLITICO, that a central point in his inspirational personal story was fabricated: his application and acceptance into the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
The academy has occupied a central place in Carson’s tale for years. According to a story told in Carson’s book, “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by a “full scholarship” to the military academy.
West Point, however, has no record of Carson applying, much less being extended admission.

MK: "Let me ask you flat out whether you stand by the claim that you as a young man, a 14 year old boy, attempted to stab another boy and attacked your mother with a hammer?"
BC: "Those claims are absolutely true."
Look who you guys have running, I wouldn't go there. Conservatives openly pander to the least intellectual demographic of our population.
Not voting for Clinton bdw, at least we have real options.
A socialist and someone who would take any stance if it means getting elected. Great choices.
Better or worse than the pathological liar and the reality TV star?
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/hillary-clinton-email-no-highly-classified-215599The U.S. intelligence community has retreated from claims that two emails in Hillary Clinton’s private account contained top secret information, a source familiar with the situation told POLITICO.
The determination came from Director of National Intelligence James Clapper’s office and concluded that the two emails did not include highly classified intelligence secrets. Concerns about the emails' classification helped trigger an on-going FBI inquiry into Clinton's private email set-up.
Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III made the claim that two of the emails contained top secret information, the State Department publicly stated its disagreement and asked Clapper’s office to referee the dispute. Now, that disagreement has been resolved in State’s favor, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Intelligence officials claimed one email in Clinton’s account was classified because it contained information from a top secret intelligence community “product” or report, but a further review determined that the report was not issued until several days after the email in question was written, the source said.
"The initial determination was based on a flawed process," the source said. "There was an intelligence product people thought [one of the emails] was based on, but that actually postdated the email in question."
A top expert in classification procedures called the development " an astonishing turn of events."
You think the intelligence director wants to get fired when she becomes president? Her & Bill ruined their travel director's career just to put the blame on someone else for their own corruption.http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/hillary-clinton-email-no-highly-classified-215599The U.S. intelligence community has retreated from claims that two emails in Hillary Clinton’s private account contained top secret information, a source familiar with the situation told POLITICO.

The New York Knicks are more likely to win the NBA Championship in 2016 than Hillary Clinton getting prosecuted at this point.
I personally think it speaks to his character and ideals. Does it not?
If he was marching in pro segregation demonstrations wouldn't that still be relevent today?
It's not like Bernie is out here asking for a cookie. This whole, "but he marched…" is just the media putting their spin on it. Bottom line is Bernie's record in public office > Hilary's. Point. Blank. Period. I think we're all on the same page on that front.-If he was a segregationist, he won't even have a shot at the presidency, let alone the democratic nomination.I personally think it speaks to his character and ideals. Does it not?

Most white liberals would hate his guts as well.
-Bernie did what was right, and it does speak to character. Good on him. But in all honest, the the only thing white folk that supported civil rights deserve from the black community is not to be hated. Real talk
It is like a man wanting kudos because he is not a wife beater. Welp, good for you I guess
-While I do personally give Bernie credit because he went above and beyond want most did.
