I think Politico did stretch things. No more, and certainly not as much, as Ben Carson did. He was NEVER offered a full scholarship to WP. Further, the way it's written does not, at all, imply he's talking about a passing comment made at the dinner ... even if he felt that way at the time (what, 18 yrs old age or something?). He didn't WRITE that when he was "an inner city kid" .. and he knows he wasn't offered a full scholarship. Hence his campaign acknowledged as much when questioned on it.
"American hero"? Huh? Do you know what the word 'hero' means? The fact that he has his own website doesn't make someone "hero".
The greater question though is WTF were you doing on Rush's website in the first place?
No I'm not drunk.
I used hero on purpose just to antagonize and entertain. My job is to inform and entertain on this website.
I never said he should be president. I just said the Politico story was ridiculous.
I do want to issue an apology and take back what I wrote earlier. The best piece on this isn't the one I cited. Rather, it's this one I just got emailed to me from a very liberal friend.

Never underestimate the capacity of the media to propagandize against Republicans.
That’s the theme of this morning’s overwrought news coverage on Dr. Ben Carson’s supposed “lie†regarding a “scholarship†to West Point. The story began with Politico, which ran with the audacious headline, “Ben Carson admits fabricating West Point scholarship.†Even I was taken in by the headline – after all, that’s a pretty bold claim!
Politico began thusly:
Ben Carson’s campaign on Friday admitted, in a response to an inquiry from POLITICO, that a central point in his inspirational personal story was fabricated: his application and acceptance into the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
The key word here is “fabricated.†Did the Carson campaign admit any such thing? Absolutely not. The facts reported by Politico don’t even support this interpretation of the Carson campaign’s response.
In other news, Hilary Clinton once said she tried to join the Marines, their is no evidence of it and the media never bothered to look into it.

Just when I think Rojo couldn't be any stupider he post stuff like this. We all know he's a sheltered right wing a-hole who's never had a real job or any experience in the real world. He covers up doping by friends, ignores certain stories. But to suggest there is a double standard is dumb.
It's like republican nut jobs - like Rojo- have forgotten the YEARS of attacks on Hillary and the whole Birther movement about Obama. Are you really this stupid?
