Not a fact. Even the top ROTC cadet still has to APPLY to WP before being offered a "scholarship".

His class honesty award can not be backed up even though he claims that there was a pic of him receiving a monetary award for being "most honest student".

His childhood friends claim that he was a sweet, smart, quiet kid, nit a violent thug who tried to stab a kid, or hit his mother with a hammer.

And the pyramids were not built by Joseph nor were they grain silos.

The total spin here is all yours. And who it is over for is Dr. Carson. He's destroyed his reputation and will be heretofore remembered as a pathological liar. I wonder how smart he really is if he never considered that his lies would be exposed by running for president. Did he think everyone would simply believe his self-aggrandizing without question? Apparently so.
Naaa..

You realize of course that this "digging" just involves reading Carson's autobiography that he has released in the middle of campaigning. He can't have both ways - running on his backstory yet saying his past and claims are off limits to scrutiny.

No, the media did not embellish Carson's words. Look up the page in his book where he wrote about his so-called full scholarship offer from West Point. He tripled down on that statement. In writing. Ben is the one spinning the facts, not the media.

After seeing the shrine to himself that he has turned his house into I think he actually has come to believe his own self-aggrandizing fabrications about himself. Maybe Trump wasn't far off saying Carson suffered from a pathological disease.

I am far from a fan of Carson's but on the topic of the "shrine to himself" I honestly don't see that as anything that should set off alarm bells. Lots of people who have achievements in their career fields have a room full of trophies and awards. Trump has a room full of magazines that features him on the covers, so he should be the last person to call another kettle black. No pun intended.
