A CNN investigation found no evidence to back up Carson’s claims of being a problem child as a angry juvenile in his native Detroit — stabbing, throwing rocks at people, hurling bricks and beating others with baseball bats.

"Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson did not — as he has claimed repeatedly — receive a full scholarship to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

In fact, Carson’s campaign admitted that not only was the former neurosurgeon not accepted into the prestigious military academy, but he never actually applied. This concession came after obtained evidence from a West Point spokesperson that the academy has no record of Carson’s application or his admission — calling into question a key piece of the presidential hopeful’s personal history."

Could Gentle Ben be a relative of Brian Williams the NBC story teller,,,,living in a dream world? Too many stories from Carson coming under question,,,,I see him sliding down in the polls if he can't substantiate his many claims.

UPDATE: Politico has begun stealth editing the story in question, removing tons of the most incendiary claims without making any public indication that they have corrected the story at all. This is the mark of a junior league, unethical news organization, and stands as conclusive proof that their story is crap and they know it.

I’ve been critical – harshly so – of Ben Carson’s campaign for the Presidency. But bullcrap is bullcrap, and this Politico story purporting to prove that Ben Carson’s campaign admitted to “fabricating” a story about his admission to West Point is absolute bullcrap. It definitely exposes one error on Ben Carson’s point in his retelling of an alleged conversation with General William Westmoreland – but Politico’s errors in its reporting are far more egregious, inexcusable, and intentional than anything they have uncovered with respect to Carson so far.

Add one more data point to the idea that the media shouldn’t be in a position to be the arbiters of fact in this country.

The controversy in question centers around the claim that Ben Carson was offered a “full scholarship” to West Point when he was 17. Politico claims that this is false because West Point has no record of Ben Carson ever applying to West Point, or being accepted; worse, they claim that the campaign admitted fabricating the story.

The academy has occupied a central place in Carson’s tale for years. According to a story told in Carson’s book, “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by a “full scholarship” to the military academy.

West Point, however, has no record of Carson applying, much less being extended admission.

“In 1969, those who would have completed the entire process would have received their acceptance letters from the Army Adjutant General,” said Theresa Brinkerhoff, a spokeswoman for the academy. She said West Point has no records that indicate Carson even began the application process. “If he chose to pursue (the application process), then we would have records indicating such,” she said.

When presented with these facts, Carson’s campaign conceded the story was false.

This kind of story, if true, could prove to be fatal to the Carson campaign. Given the number of questions that have begun swirling lately about Carson’s stories concerning his time as a youth, the fact that the campaign itself admitted that one of the more well known aspects of Carson’s upbringing was a fabrication – that is to say, a deliberately invented falsehood – would probably completely end Carson’s chances at the Presidency.

There’s just one problem with Politico’s story – neither Carson’s book nor Carson’s campaign has ever claimed that he applied to or was accepted to West Point. In fact, they have both consistently said that he did not ever apply to West Point. The relevant passage from his book is abundantly clear that he never had interest in attending West Point and never applied to do so:
