A Letter To The Editor: The Ben Carson Story--Lies?

Joe - I have as many others have been hearing the lies supposedly told by Dr. Ben Carson in his book "The Ben Carson Story" which was also made into a movie a few years ago. I admired and respected that this man became a world celebrated surgeon @ John Hopkins Hospital and seemed to be an educated, religious, and much respected black man, and a good role model for so many. What happened? Are all the people that our youth looked up to in our past, and the youth of today, been elevated to levels and then pitfalls before our very eyes. Is it just that the news media are covering and digging out more today, or that we covered up short comings of leaders and people in the news in the past? Are we holding everyone more accountable? That the things we say and do can come back to haunt us and follow us, if we are more successful? Don't all the candidates lie to some degree, that we have heard more about Presidents and past presidents lives more in the last decade. What do you and your audience think?

Publishers Notes: It is unfortunate the leaders of our country and even news media have become so accustom to so many lies. However, on the other hand, are we electing a President or a Pope? It's a fine line. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" comes to mind. I'm sure many of our readers can come back with lies from just about every President and quite frankly it's a shame. 

What concerns me most, (personally) are the very people who stand in front of a Judge and flat out lie. It's a shame that a Judge has to read into everything stated and determine who is lying and who is not. Nevertheless, people do it every single day. "Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth"? I grew up in a generation where you simply told the truth and IF you've done something wrong then you need to be held accountable for your actions.

The question now remains, is Ben Carson trustworthy at this point? Then again, is Hillary Clinton trustworthy as well? 

In my day they would BOTH be eliminated and quite frankly are for me personally. I will be bold enough right here and now by saying I will be voting for Donald Trump.

What do I think? Based on past performance of reporting by CNN and the Politico, I'm inclined to believe Dr. Carson.

If you look into it, the Carson thing is by and large a media BS witch hunt. He is not a politician, so he doesn't always choose his words and craft his ideas as carefully as he should.

The media is terrified of him. Obama was raised comfortably by his white mother, overseas, and under communist influence. Carson, on the other hand, was raised by his single mother in urban America. He's blacker than Obama, and a real American success story.

In your day politics were just as corrupt.

The media are the LIAR - why would you believe THEM?

No one is perfect. Taking down Carson and all other republicans/conservatives is the responsibility of the media. Nothing new - Cronkite also did it. Previously we did not have the resources we have now to uncover the media lies.

If you have not read Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals it is a must read. Ben Carson recommends everyone should read. You will puke multiple times while reading but it is the democrat's play book and religion.

The News Media can destroy belief in God.

turns the wording around , which they've done &
it's knowledge---people would rather believe
the worst then the truth.

Digging up 'STUFF" is what politicians are3
good for & that's just what they've done & the
News Media has hyped it up to the finish.

As quickly as you got the news on the 'lies', you can get the rebuttles. YOU need to be aware that the MSM is doing whatever they can to DESTROY good conservative people. Just like they destroyed Palin and Herman Cain. Check out BuzzFeed for the truth.

Personally, I would believe Dr. Carson before I would believe obama.

Politico now admits to making up a hit piece on Mr. Carson. What say you now?

I am willing to take an chance of Donald Trump and I pray that he is good to his word!

If anyone was using an Obama hit piece they would be called a racist.

I believe Dr. Carson is an extremely intelligent, honest, moral Christian man and, at this point, I trust him.

I have absolutely NO trust at all in the liberal media.

Stay tuned; the liberal mobsters will manage to dig up plenty of dirt on Donald Trump as well. That's what they do, play dirty. NEVER trust a dirty liberal Democrat!
