It's essentially blatant double standard being applied to the esteemed Dr. Carson.delldude said:

Here you go, he does not need West Point. He has a glory house with a portrait of him with Jesus himself. He may even have some tools left over from the building of the pyramids:

He did say it was offered
Lots of folks have had lots of things "offered" at the recruiter's office
He didn't apply, he didn't take the physicals and tests and do the interviews
He wasn't actually offered anything
A recruiter/retention specialist type once "offered" me the chance to go play civilian while getting paid to get a degree in nuclear engineering if I would commit to coming back and doing the Navy's Nuc Officer Program. I thought about it about as long as it took me to remember how many subs the Navy had vs how many nuc surface ships there were.
I don't go around saying I was offered a full ride to Stanford, that was recruiter talk.
That is, however, a relatively "small" lie, and they all do it.
The ISIS-like "anxiously awaiting the end-times" thing is a lot more concerning.
Attacks and crazy talk aside, his ideas on serious stuff like his tax "plan" are seriously lacking and seriously out of touch with reality, and that is a real problem.

A well deserved self tribute. I only wish I could have a tenth of his successes.
BTW- your post falls into the definition of bigoted.

No doubt it was offered. His scholastics were some of the highest in the nation. At that time there was a recruiting drive for bright, young black men to fill the officer slots in the armed services. And it was racially driven to attempt to right wrongs over the years by an effort from LBJ. So to accuse him of lying about this in light of all things considred is BS.

Recruiter talk is not an offer
If he had pursued it, he may well have received an offer
This particular little lie doesn't really matter. Wanna' defend how he explains his tax plan, or any other real issue, within the context of reality?
Yes, his denial of known science, and we're not talking freaky or as-yet-unexplained stuff here, is a real problem. He says a muslim president would have to subjucate his personal faith in order to do the job of president, yet is unwilling to do that himself.
This country is not a Seventh Day Theocracy.
That is an issue.
The Left doesn't have to worry about him, the Reps will have him back home by spring

The objective of recruitment is to get one to sign on....period.
A Sharia believing Muslim would have Constitutional issues, don't you think?
Screw his tax plan, every campaign since I been on the planet has a tax fix that never gets done, so whats your point.
The pyramid stuff is BS too. Those long slotted vent looking portals are wave guides for a not yet understood power usage by aliens.
They freaked over a Catholic when I was younger.
So he should be denied due to his Constitutionally guaranteed right to free expression thereof?

Will an apology be coming. I doubt it."

I never thought a basic understanding of scientific principle and research methodology was considered a 'high level of scrutiny'. What is it with right wingers and science?
You are supporting someone who believes in a young earth and who makes stuff up about the pyramids with nothing to back it up. I do not want someone like that representing this country.

Oh I see, you don't believe a black man should believe in god or belive in himself?!Glenn Quagmire said:
I'm reminded of Carson’s victory speech, at which he said his nomination was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal. No, wait . .
