Ben Carson Apologizes For Plagiarism, Says He's Working To 'Rectify The Situation'

What did he plagiarize?

Did Dr Carson write the book the himself or did he have a ghostwriter? Can he claim that the people and accounts in the book were "composites" even after they said they were real. Like Obama? Originally Posted by gnadfly

Let's review: Carson has apologized for failing to cite sources properly in his book. The publisher of the book has acknowledged the plagiarism. Do I have that right halfwits?

Carson wrote a book using somebody else's ideas and words and representing those ideas and words as his own. That is dishonest. Let's call it what it is and not try to avoid the discussion by your endless, repetitive, "neener neener, but but but President Obama stomped on a puppy today" or whatever the fuck it is you decide to make up.

By the way, Carson recently called for the removal of all judges who rule in favor of gay marriage and stated that it would be "open season" on Christians if gay marriage is legalized. So, if the Supreme Court of the United States rules against gay marriage bans, do we remove all of the USSC justices who hold that view? Carson is nuts.

In addition to being intellectually dishonest and publishing a book which he plagiarized, he is another GOP religious whackjob.
Seriously Zani? You've proven time and again and admitted you don't read the posts that you respond to. It's why you keep getting your ass handed to you and disappear from the board, in disgrace, for weeks at a time. Hell, I could accuse you of the same thing. There's no way in hell you write complete sentences in your posts without help. Are you giving credit where it's due?
Do you not read the articles you post either?
If that's all they've got on him he should be able to just walk into the White House right now and take that lying Obama's chair in the Oval Office. Maybe just pull it right out from under him. Originally Posted by boardman

Carson strikes me as an educated charlatan. When he said the ACA was worse than slavery I knew right then he had a bad and wicked heart. ;-)

Did you read the BuzzFeed article? They make a pretty compelling argument and point out that this is not the first time Carson has done this as he admitted in his book. He blamed it on being naive when in college. You'd think he would have learned his lesson to make sure everything was properly footnoted.
I guess the question from all of this will be "is Dr. Carson purposefully dishonest?".
I don't know. Correcting the mistakes after the fact doesn't look good for him. Another question I would have is "does the content of the book loose any meaning once it is properly bibliographed?" I guess that's for the voters to decide.

I wonder if you are just as disgusted with Obama for his failure to fully disclose the information regarding the woman he referenced several times in the SOTU. The one that wrote him a letter telling him how her family got through the recession...You know, the one that was a Democratic campaign staffer and had been used, by Obama, as a political prop in the past.

It's not the only time Obama has gotten caught doing pretty much the same thing.

Any of you Carson lovers like that he basically said ISIS is more committed to their cause than say you Tea Pots are to yours?


Maybe he can seed you to Syria to get you more committed!

Conservative favorite and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson likened the Islamic State to American Patriots while speaking at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting in San Diego Thursday. "They got the wrong philosophy, but they're willing to die for what they believe, while we are busily giving away every belief and every value for the sake of political correctness," he said before the crowd erupted into applause. "We have to change that."

Shirtless Biden Washes Trans Am In White House Driveway





WASHINGTON—Taking advantage of the warm spring weather Monday, Vice President Joe Biden parked his 1981 Trans Am in the White House driveway, removed his undershirt, and spent a leisurely afternoon washing the muscle car and drinking beer.


"This baby just needs a little scrub down," said Biden, addressing a tour group as he tucked the sweat-covered top into the belt loop of his cutoff jean shorts. "Gotta get her looking good so I can impress the chicks when I'm cruising down Pennsylvania [Avenue]."


White House aides said that Biden pulled into the driveway shortly before noon, the chorus of Night Ranger's "(You Can Still) Rock In America" blaring from
his car's stereo. According to witnesses, Biden spent several minutes maneuvering the Trans Am into the perfect spot, and was observed drumming his fingers on the steering wheel until the song came to a close.
The shirtless 66-year-old then entered the executive residence and greeted employees with a round of high fives and a variety of nicknames.
"Hey, hot stuff, looking good," Biden told a passing aide. "Would you know where I could get a little bucket and sponge action? My mean machine needs to be cleaned."
After acquiring the necessary washing materials, the bare-chested second-in-command returned to the driveway, where he spent several moments staring in apparent awe at the firebird decal on the hood of his car.




Biden, who purchased the white Pontiac in 1983, has made an annual tradition of taking time off each spring to wash and tune-up his vehicle. In 2008 alone, the veteran politician reportedly missed two dozen Senate sessions in order to spend some quality time "taking care of [his] baby."
"He does this every year and it really seems to rejuvenate him," Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) said. "Back in 2001, the car was up on blocks in the National Mall, and he was so busy rotating those tires that he bailed on the confirmation hearings for secretary of state."
"What're you gonna do, though?" Dodd added. "That car rocks."
As Biden gently applied a sponge to the hood and moved it in small circular motions across the car's contours, a number of White House interns walked by and caught the vice president's attention.
"She's a real beaut, ain't she?" said Biden, popping open a wide-mouth can of Coors Light and tilting back his head to take a long drink. "Back when Smokey And The Bandit came out, everyone wanted the black paint job, but looking back now, I'm thankful the dealership didn't have it in stock."



"Oops, looks like I got a little brewha in the flavor-saver," added Biden, referring to his wispy, four-day-old mustache. "Any of you girls care to join me for another tallboy?"
Biden then spent the next 15 minutes boasting about the features on his Trans Am.
"They don't make kick-ass T-tops like this anymore, sweetheart," said Biden, shaking his head in exaggerated disappointment. "And check out these gold snowflake rims. They're a real bitch to clean, but they're totally worth it."
"Back in the day we used to call 'em panty-melters," Biden continued. "One babe caught a glimpse of those rims after a Cinderella concert in '86 and she couldn't get into that backseat fast enough. If any of you girls wanna take a ride, just let ol' Joe know."
For the remainder of the day, Biden occupied himself with hosing off his car, giving the side doors an extra coat of wax, and throwing out a variety of items from beneath its front seats, including crumpled-up fast food wrappers, a number of soft packs of Doral kings, an issue of Cheri magazine from 1991, and Senate bill S. 486.
According to White House officials, Biden was still hanging out in the driveway long after dusk, revving the engine at passersby and explaining the intricacies of a turbocharged V-8 motor to anyone within earshot.
As of press time, Biden had convinced Jennifer Britmore, a 41-year-old mother of four visiting from Indiana, to let him show her around D.C.
