[Bryan_Ekers]

Well, he’s trying to buffalo Buffalo, along with the rest of the U.S.

My colleges also offered classes in Perception. I am now totally absolved from everything, the end. And I want an apology.

[Locrian]

We haven’t been interested in a Carson since he retired from late night and died.

Posse Comitatus, dude.

That is, or once was, an actual thing, believe it or not.

Not to be confused with this other actual thing.

I know. That’s why I said it. You misunderestimate my knowledge of crackpots and their misuse of real legal terms.

I think the prize for misunderstanding has to go to (mildly NSFW)this guy.

@TonySinclair

… So it appears that he didn’t make the story up out of thin air; he saw that article, and concocted a version where he would be the star of the story.

He’s plagiarizing his lies.

Plagiarizing his lies about how honest he is? In the context, I would more expect the prof to laugh at him as the only patsy who fell for it.

But, you know, Carson is a superhero in disguise. As the pictures of his house clearly show, his heroic alter-ego must be …

Ironyman!

I’m so sorry for you.

As the pictures of his house clearly show

There’s a tie for “Most Hilarious” between the painting of him with Dented-Head Jesus and the testament to humility - complete with typo (“poverbs”) - carved into the wall of his house and painted gold.

[Kobal2]

That’s not a typo, it’s a further testament to Carson’s humble origins. Growing up his people were po’ folks, could only afford po’ verbs…

(I am not ashamed.)

Curse you for making me smile at that!

In that picture with Jesus, he looks more like Venus Flytrap from WKRP.

@GIGObuster

Wow, it would had been easier to just toss his cowriter under the bus, and in another thread it is clear that that is what he has done in a recent interview.

What it would be interesting is to find when he did the toss and when he demanded the apology to the WSJ. I would not be surprised though that he is doing both moves regardless if they are in essence contradictory.

Carson also demonstrates what I have observed with many extreme conservatives, they do have a huge blind spot when they have to deal with time lines.

He is simply incapable of being wrong. He’s a brain surgeon. He knows everything.

Those images are . . . disturbing.

That misspelled quote chiselled into the wall, though, makes me wonder about his attention to detail.

Ben Carson is upset at claims that he wasn’t a violent psychopath.

Ben Carson Fabricated Violent Juvenile Past, CNN Investigation Suggests

On the campaign trail, the former neurosurgeon has recounted being an angry juvenile in his native Detroit — stabbing, throwing rocks at people, hurling bricks and beating others with baseball bats.

But through interviews with nine former classmates and friends, CNN was unable to verify any incidents supporting those claims.
…
A former friend of Carson said if he was as big a hothead as he described, it wouldn’t be a secret.”He got through his day trying not to be noticed… I remember him having a pocket saver. He had thick glasses. He was skinny and unremarkable.”
…
Carson’s campaign declined to provide the network with any corroborating evidence of his violent past, calling the CNN investigation a “witch hunt.”

I sort of get why he would do this. (I’m not defending it. I just understand why an amoral politician would do it.) His base likes the reformed bad boy image more than the brainy nerd.

Ben smash!
