Mitt Romney posted:Trump would have better luck going against Carson on the stabbing, hammer attack, grains and grizzly bear (if it's real). Seems like the majority of the GOP is getting behind Carson on the West Point thing. The grizzly bear is extremely obviously fake, my man, but you have a point on the rest.

Zwabu posted:I realized tonight that I'm really pissed at the way the press has covered the story about GHWB criticizing the role Cheney and Rumsfeld played in the GWB administration. It would be a huge story if Jeb wasn't bleeding on the ground and Carson imploding shortly after. If Jeb somehow gets the nom I think it'll be brought up.

Generally the memories that are made from whole cloth are not, you know, the ones that are the most important. Didn't he actually meet Westmoreland though? And when it comes to religious awakenings, I wouldn't put anything past the human brain, I honestly think he could have become convinced that he tried to stab a friend and it led him to Jesus. Based on fantasies or moments he almost did that or whatever. The brain's ability to gently caress up is just an interesting topic to me, I won't say you're wrong and I certainly won't give Carson the benefit of the doubt, it just reminded me of an interesting subject.

It'd be as if I had created a memory of the above. You generally don't just suddenly remember that you met famous people when it didn't really happen unless you're lying.

Top Bunk Wanker posted:Trump is going to destroy Carson and it doesn't matter what any of the other candidates say about it. I specifically expect there to be a jab about the West Point thing where Trump brings up that it's the day before Veteran's Day. Trump has his own "I was basically in the military, except I dodged the draft." background. Best to avoid playing who's the biggest chickenhawk, because everyone loses. Except Jim Webb.

And when it comes to religious awakenings, I wouldn't put anything past the human brain, I honestly think he could have become convinced that he tried to stab a friend and it led him to Jesus. Based on fantasies or moments he almost did that or whatever. MannaTech. Possible side effects: lethargy, drowsiness, slurred speech, false memories, desire to run a failed presidential campaign. My great aunt actually acquired Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome after decades of heavy drinking. It was obviously pretty sad but also really interesting to see how the brain can invent false memories so quickly. I don't think anything like that's going on with Carson obviously but the human brain is pretty weird sometimes. I think the main take-away from this is that Carson really sucks at dealing with criticism. Being caught lying about West Point isn't even a skeleton in the closet -- it's like a little finger-bone at best. Then Carson and his campaign just melt down over the whole affair. Meanwhile last cycle we had Newt Gingrich running around and every time the media scrutinized him it was like loving Dia De Los Muertos but he always shrugged it off.

It's not out of the question that he misremembered when specific events happened in a few months' period a long time ago. I think it's a really insubstantial thing to attack Carson on, especially since even West Point is defending him. His lovely policies are enough reason to dislike him and deserve more attention.

Too late. The media is turning Ben Carson into a hero with their unsubstantiated smears and a chorus of liberal lackeys cheering CARSONS DONE.. CARSONS DONE based on nothing but their own prejudice against Republicans and racism against Black People

All politicians embellish on some level (some more than others); but the press doesn't care as much when it's a democrat who "misspoke" or experienced "sleep deprivation or something."

Also, he thinks all those Egyptologists that say that the pyramids were tombs are full of poo poo, and that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain.
