Pic Of The Moment: Republican Primary Gets Even Weirder

Ben Carson Fabricated Violent Juvenile Past, CNN Investigation Suggests

Follow @demunderground

1. Witch Hunt?

Ben Carson either wrote or had written for him in his autobiography "Gifted Hands,"
stories about his violent acts and so CNN investigates it and that is a witch hunt?

[awoke_in_2003]

8. Republican logic

Question something you said equals witch hunt. Investigating Clinton relentlessly for political reasons is not a witch hunt. Get it? Neither do I.

[IronLionZion]

32. The right answer is probably BENGHAZI!1!1!1 nt

[Hamlette]

59. That's what I found most troubling. He believes NO ONE has ever been questioned like this.

Clinton....remember they lost money on a land investment and were hounded by the NYTimes, and the GOP, for years over it. Hillary's Rose Law Firm billings, Vince Foster, Monica, avoiding the draft in college, going to Russia in college (made him a commie don't cha know) firing a couple people in the WH travel office etc. etc. I remember George Stephanopolis (sp?) saying he'd had to testify in congress like 200 times (if memory serves) sometimes about the parking tickets he got while testifying in Congress. It was an 8 year witch hunt that ended in impeachment but that was NOTHING like the questions they are asking Carson. He is an idiot or a liar. Not sure which is worse.

And Obama. Investigating the "story" of his birth went on for years. And his pastor and a fellow college professor who held a meet and greet for him, or when he once said there were 37 states or whatever the F that was all about. Can you imagine what they would have done to him if he had ever actually LIED about anything?

His comments today that no one has ever been examined as closely as he is being now, "not even close" is the craziest thing he's ever said.

[underpants]

14. Maybe they are claiming he's a witch too

I mean, at this point, would it surprise you?

[SusanaMontana41]

55. I'd be very surprised if CNN found one reliable witness.

Seriously. After getting smashed by a rock, a lock and a hammer, how much would you remember?

[WinstonSmith4740]

58. You can never forget...

IOKIYAR. It's OK If You're A Republican. Otherwise, you must be taken down by the RW media.

[dixiegrrrrl]

2. Ben Carson admits fabricating West Point scholarship

www.democraticunderground.com/10027321630

Mr. Dixie thinks Carson is "a construct" like Joe the Plumber, cause too many "facts" of his life are unraveling.

[EEO]

3. It must be because of the brain transplant he had with that Sasquatch...

He is crazy to the point where this could be believable...

Ben Carson: Area 51 Stores My Original Brain, Sasquatches

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Earlier today, Republican presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson announced the real purpose of Area 51 was to house his original brain, and a colony of Sasquatches. Carson's statement followed his declaration earlier in the week he still believed the true purpose of the pyramids in Egypt was to store grain.

[awoke_in_2003]

9. Or a brain transplant with Abbie Normal...

25. You are HILARIOUS!! Well done!!! nt

[BlancheSplanchnik]

48. LOLOL!!!

[gordianot]

5. If he were to become President the day would arrive he would talk with presidential portraits.

Much like another compromised self tortured occupant of that house.The difference is he would tell you about it in advance. No reason to hunt out his disease he provides the evidence willingly.

[SummerSnow]

16. lol...he wouldnt choose a cabinet, he would say Jesus' apostles are his cabinet and he

talks with them daily.

[appalachiablue]

6. Narcissist personality traits- self focus, grandiosity, exaggeration, lying. Watch out for this one!

[BlueJazz]

7. "Why would anyone cooperate with your obvious witch hunt"

Ah..maybe to prove your candidate isn't a total, self absorbed LIAR??

[passiveporcupine]

23. Sounds like he and Trump were separated at birth.

[1StrongBlackMan]

10. This morning on Morning Joe, Mika said something (for once) I completely agreed with ...

She said: "Wait a minute ... is he arguing the these things DID happen, like it's a good thing?"

[Fritz Walter]

11. Stories like these really take me back

Reminding me of the Top 10 Conservative _____ journal on DU.
In addition to the 2016 clown car occupants, you have the assault incident at Applebee's in MN (against a woman daring to speak a non-English language), the ammosexual who injured three when he dropped his gun at a Cracker Barrel, plus many more.

We live in interesting times!
<sigh!>

[wolfie001]

12. Great pic of that crazy jackass! nt

[stonecutter357]

13. K&R!

[Xipe Totec]

15. Did he stab somebody with his Pinocchio nose? nt

[Punkingal]

17. Looks as crazy as Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard in that picture...

[Liberalagogo]

19. "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up."

lol.

[SusanaMontana41]

56. "I AM big. It's the PICTURES that got small."

[Initech]

18. Is there anything that he isn't lying about?

[barbtries]

20. if all this shit swirling around him

does not bring him down i don't know what. republicans are crazier and more stupid than i've been giving them credit for.

[Bigredhunk]

21. It Won't Matter A Lick To Them

Anything that paints their candidate in a negative light is a fabrication invented by the "leftist media." Click on a link, like the one re: his not being admitted to West Point (links to marketwatch web site). A bulk of the comments are about a lying liberal media, about how Hillary lied about Benghazi, etc...

It's like Bill Maher has always said, they live in a bubble. Facts don't matter. Facts are lies. The only "facts" that matter are those they see/read on their channels/sites. Everything else is simply not true.

[SusanCalvin]

22. Psychopath or liar?

What a circus.

[silverweb]

54. I vote for psychopath.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I saw a list published recently (here, maybe?) of the top 10 professions most likely to attract psychopaths and the top 10 professions least likely to attract psychopaths.

Surgeons are something like #5 on the psychopath list. They may be technically skilled to an astonishing degree, but also completely lack the capacity to relate to or empathize with their patients as human beings.

Sounds like that shoe fits Carson just about right, although I'm not all too sure about his technical skill.

[MADem]

24. This lunatic is a serial LIAR. Let's cut to the chase and call him what he is...a Big FIBBER.

He tried to claim he got a "scholarship" to West Point and turned it down.

That's bullshit, too. You get a Congressional recommendation and it's free. That goes for all the Service academies. We, The People pay for those educations with our tax dollars, and I'm glad we didn't waste a dime on that idiot....

I think he's starting to deconstruct. Not a moment too soon, either.

The only time I've ever heard him make a lick of sense is on Bad Lip Reading....because "Every mouse has a weenie!!!"

[DhhD]

28. I want to know, Is Carson, or Cruz, the biggest liar? n/t

[MADem]

31. I think with the "Westmoreland offered me a scholarship to West Point" lie, that Carson beats

Cuban - Canadian Carnival Cruz by a country kilometer!!!!

[silverweb]

53. But that was "just semantics."

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]It wasn't a lie, just "semantics" - so the self-admiring Dr. Carson now says.

[polly7]

38. OMG!

That is genius.

[WestSeattle2]

26. Republican primaries are always a target rich environment for those looking for liars, grifters,

and pure, unadulterated bullshit.

Mental Ben is just one of many.

His "business manager", Armstrong Williams, is just as much the liar, grifter and bullshitter as Carson.

They're simply following the Sarah Palin economic model: If you can identify people stupid enough to send you money, monetize that stupidity. Double down! Run for president and rake in the cash! Increase your speaking fees and sell more books!

[mdbl]

35. And they're all making a lot of money

off this BS campaign

[Mendocino]

27. Now that's a knife

First it was a friend he tried to knife, then it was a relative. It was a pocketknife, then a large camping knife. He tried to stab him, then he says he threw the knife. Some accounts say the blade broke, others don't. But miracles of miracles, a large ROTC belt buckle prevented a sure death, sending our troubled future surgeon into a life of virtue and purpose. Too bad his supposed epiphany didn't include honesty.

[TBF]

29. Just when you think they can't get any crazier -

this guy comes along.

[c588415]

30. what did former Rep. Joe Wilson say to Ben Carson?

" You a Lie ! "

[AgingAmerican]

33. I will never understand Republicans

They are incomprehensible to me

[mdbl]

34. Makes you wonder if he's really a surgeon

anyone checked his medical credentials?

[lonestarnot]

36. Wouldn't let that wild eyed freak touch my brain, not even in conversation.

[red dog 1]

[NorthCarolina]

37. Probably because he figured he'd be a shoe-in when he spoke about stabbing someone.

Very Presidential. Perhaps that could be his foreign policy agenda; meeting with foreign leaders, and stabbing the ones he doesn't like. Brilliant!...Oh Putin, I have a surprise for you...come over here.

[onehandle]

39. Nice to see him with his eyes open for a change. nt

[L. Coyote]

40. I spoke to Ben Carson's roommate at West Point, and ....

You can tell when a campaign has totally flamed out via the image feed on Twitter and the memes on fora.

Or, if their Sunday morning consists of cleaning up after the previous week's and years' statements by the candidate.

Or, if suddenly your candidate goes from number one Republican to the number one ridiculed person in the memesphere.

[Javaman]

41. his photo reminds me of this one...

[PatrickforO]

42. This guy is crazier than a hoot owl. I mean creepy crazy.

I saw that press conference with him yesterday that Chris Matthews played. Watched about five minutes of it, maybe a little more. Did you guys see Bill Maher last night? He was so funny. He asked the question of the right - hey, since you don't want anyone but a total outsider who doesn't have a clue how government works as president, when your toilet is clogged up, do you want anybody else but a plumber? Or when you want brain surgery, do you want anybody but a brain surgeon - and outsider? I was rolling.

[LiberalArkie]

43. If he was Baptist, it would sound like he was "giving testimony of how bad he was before he was

saved".

[Squaredeal]

44. This is the lunatic...

some voters want to give the nuclear codes to.

[davidthegnome]

45. Hmm.

It could be that some of these things people simply didn't know about. I don't know. What reason would he have for making this stuff up? Is it supposed to be a story of struggle from lunacy to sanity? If so, it's hardly inspiring that now he's a xenophobic front-runner for the republican nomination.

I'm vaguely amused and kind of disturbed at the idea of some ghost writer or assistant listening to him dictate this stuff with a straight face. "And then I attacked my mom with a hammer...", crazy, more crazy, etc. "Now I'm running for President!"

Weird stuff.

[dlk]

46. Ben Carson

Ben Carson, like Carly Fiorina, has never been a viable candidate, as he has never held ANY elected office, and, so, is completely unqualified to be even considered for president. He is just part of the sideshow to distract low information voters from the real issues. Meanwhile, our country is becoming more and more of an oligarchy.

[dorkzilla]

47. Wait a second...

[red dog 1]

50. K&R...Thanks for posting, EarlG

Great photo!

This idiot makes Trump look like a genius!

[Dont call me Shirley]

51. And hence the gop take-down of Ben Carson commences.

[Thinkingabout]

52. We knew there was going to be a Clown Car, never knew it was going to be this crazy.

I love Democrats.

[Cha]

57. He also lied about West Point.

[libodem]

60. His religion has loosened his grasp on reality

Denying science is never a good policy. Wacko pyramid grain silo story is very far out there.

But this meme outdoes that:
