With his place as Republican front-runner solidified with the release of many new polls putting him above Donald Trump, Dr. Ben Carson is now seeing the ugly side of sitting on top of national polls. Just days after cementing his new status as the Republican standard-bearer, Politico released a fact-challenged hit piece designed to paint Dr. Carson as a liar who fabricated his rags-to-riches story in his own autobiography.
The claim they dispute is in regards to Carson’s retelling of a story in which he said he was offered a scholarship to West Point Academy. Politico attempted to disprove this story by searching West Point’s admissions records.
When they found that Ben Carson never applied, they wrote a piece that said the entire story was fabricated. What they failed to mention — or perhaps failed to notice — was that Ben Carson never said he applied in the first place.
Faced with that fact, Politico was forced to retract major portions of their original hit piece, but the damage had already been done. Dr. Ben Carson was now playing defense against accusations against his moral character. This is just the latest in a series of fact-free attacks on GOP candidates by the liberal media.

Couldn’t say, but politico is getting caught in all sorts of bull! I learned to do my research before I jump in the fire! I don’t trust much anymore, and understand your opponent and their lemmings will go to any length to destroy people’s good name!
I saw it in a local election just recently!
The end should never justify the means!
Carson is another Obama. Wake up
Did anyone read Barrack Hussein Obama’s book and the claims he made ? ? ? You can get it from a Library . . . you don’t have to buy it . . . or maybe just re-think Barry Sotero coming to America and going to school on a Foreign student Grant and then deciding he was really an American and becoming President . . for two terms
The two are as different as night and day (can’t say as different as black and white – not politically correct in obamas america).
Seriously? If you can’t see the difference, you must have a sight problem.
No read the book he said in the book he was told that he should try to go to west point. And so he thought there might be a solar ship offered. If yo would fact check perhaps you’d get the story straight. He never at any time said he was offered a solar ship or went to West Point.sorry but when liberals lie they really dont check the facts other than twist them to their liking. I really sorry there are so many gullible people that are liberals.
They both are proven liers
He will lose
They have to crayfish ! I love it !
