It is completely relevant to the here and now.
Those who voted for him twice and even now still defend him endlessly have absolutely no room to complain about Carson. None. At. All.

The only obsession right now is over the successful black conservative.
Sure he was. Ya'll sure do have a short memory and a love for the phrase 'successful black conservative".

Some people just have that spark.

He was vetted and thoroughly. Life is tough in the big ring and Carson needs to man up and quit whining or go back to writing redemption books.

No, he wasn't. And to this day most of the media still carries water for him.
There is a major double standard.
Obamabots claiming otherwise doesn't change reality.

How do you know his stories are exaggerated? Did you know him when he was young?

I can tell you from my own experience that God does transform. You, on the other hand, cannot know this, because you have not experienced it.

Do you know people in the Congregation at his church? You said they are gullible. How do you know that?

Do you believe in "Global Warming?" If your answer is yes, you're gullible.

Ben Carson responds with evidence in response to the Democratic left's media led smear campaign against him:

https://www.facebook.com/realbencarson/
Quote:
On Friday Washington political news tabloid published a story they partially retracted after it became apparent it was a fabrication. They did maintain though that I was in error when I referred to being offered a Full Scholarship they went so far as to say such a thing didn't exist. So where is the truth.

Here is a copy of the material West Point used to recruit African American high school kids.

Wouldn't you know it. "Full Government Scholarship" printed on the front page.

I won't hold me breathe for an apology. Shame on them.


Of course lying appears to be a required character trait for leaders on the left these days, so it will be a big surprise to everyone if these people take responsibility for their lies and for bearing false witness against Ben Carson, with the clear intent to ruin him for partisan political purposes.

The level of honor required to do that has become so scarce among the Democratic left, especially in the media, that it would be like a rare siting of a nearly extinct animal that many were concerned might be gone for good.

When you resort to using 'Obamabots' ~ you have lost the argument. IF you think he wasn't asked tough questions, then you are attempting to rewrite history. Again.

And those same people believed "it was because of the video" and when being caught red handed congratulated her for getting away with it anyway.

Either that, or Donald Trump is.

Based on the evidence, it appears that Donald Trump owes Ben Carson an apology on stage during the debate Tuesday Night. Certainly Trump should be asked about these remarks, in any case. And I expect the team from Fox Business News will ask him.
