Ben Carson profited from ties with convicted felon: report

Costa built a multimillion-dollar fortune through commercial real estate. Investments Carson and his wife made through Costa earn the couple between $200,000 and $2 million a year, according to financial records that Carson was required to file when he declared his candidacy.

Should we investigate Obama's real Estate deals? How about the Clinton's
 
Obama spent an entire debate in Pennsylvania talking about Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright and every other conspiracy theory you guys continue to toss around.

Good for him.
 
Every Clinton thread is about Clinton. Every Rubio thread is about Clinton. Every Trump thread is about Clinton. Every Carson thread is about Clinton. Every Bush thread is about Clinton. All roads lead back to Clinton.

That is because she is a well rounded crook.
 
Re: Ap exclusive: Carson profits from ties with convicted felon

I think a better question is did the Cluntons ever profit form there felon friends.

Whitewater?

Hillary was the only one that didn't go to jail on that.

suspect she would appreciate your pointing out that she was not deemed guilty of any illegal behavior

Another example. I forgot that one, there are so many!!!! It is hard to keep them all separated.

there was no 'there' there, relative to hillary

try travelgate instead; her finger prints are everywhere on that boondoggle

Sure, she was the only one that did nothing wrong.

Why do you think she wasn't indicted?

Cold it be that she was the first lady?

i would perceive it to be because she was not found to have committed any illegality

Well whatever deal that was made with the prosecutors, she was not charged.

It is highly unlikely she was innocent where everybody else was guilty.

Either she was very lucky, or very gullible. Which do you think it was?
 
Oh, no, you're just bringing attention to other instances which are comparable to the one in question. I think pretending that your comparisons aren't there after having spent so little time coming up with them is the only thing here that is lazy. Evasiveness? Your attempt to bring Obama into every thread about Carson.

You still haven't provided evidence of this happening once, let alone regularly. If they are as prevalent as you say why can't you link to them?

Ben Carson knows Costa. Makes him a criminal.

Obama knows Jeremiah Wright. Makes him anti-American.

Hey, guess what? I know the owner of a beef processing plant. I guess that makes me a steak. So eat me. LOL. :mrgreen:

What do they all have in common? Bad logic run amok. I think Ben Carson is a douchebag, but Jeez, aren't you laying it on a little thick?

You in the past 4 threads about Carson:

In the same way all Obama threads lead back to Bush? Only it makes sense in Carson, Trump and Rubio threads since we're going to be asked to actually actively choose between Clinton and one of the Republican candidates in 2016 so we should be comparing them.

The real world.



Nope, the line before that is kind of important:

" The Obama camp has conceded that their man was mistaken about the Kennedy connection."

So Obama was wrong, even Obama admitted it was false when he said it.

But again your argument is self defeating as the outrage on your side depends on the difference between "offer" and "receive".

No, Obama claimed in his Selma speech that his parents met at Selma and he was a result. This is false as he was already 4 years old when the Selma march happened. Likewise his claim that his father was brought to the US by the Kennedy family is a lie as well.

So did you think that in that quote Obama was talking about Barrack Jr. rather than Barrack Sr.? Oh my, how embarrassing for you.

Given that Obama's own memoir is full of holes and his education background is locked up I think Carson has a point. Carson is under attack for being too open to scrutiny while the media is amazingly disinterested with the opaque Obama history beyond the emotional narrative Obama built with his lies.

You can continue to lie, but there you are - using every discussion about Carson to bring up a similar situation in Obama's career. Keep telling yourself that's not a comparison maybe if you pretend hard enough, others will pretend to believe you?
 
The amazing thing to me is the use of the, "well the democrats did it," defense.
No no...you miss the point. Its "AND the queen rat did it too". So while you rush to drag Carson through the mud, everything that he has done or said that is deemed worthy of scrutiny by you committed leftists will also inspire comparison to the rat you will be rushing to the polls to vote for. Now...seriuously...how stupid will you feel saying "ewwww...Carson...he had associations with a felon" while you rush to vote for Hillary squealing "Yay!!! Hillary I luv her...she has profited from her association with a rapist!"? Especially considering the guy you are keen on trashing wont be the GOP nominee, and the woman you invite comparison to? She already pretty much IS the rat you are voting for. "Carson lies...boo. Hillary lies...and she is so awesome!"


Its been said before. Very little of this says ANYTHING about Carson. Or really, for that matter...Hillary. Oh...but it speaks VOLUMES of you and the rest of the people rushing to vote for the rat.

He SHOULD continue to do so. Every time you **** yourself over Carson, every situation and example...it should be pointed out that while you are ****ting yourself over Carson you have a history of downing **** sandwiches for Obama. If you didnt believe it was important when it was your guy making a **** sandwich for you to chow down hard on, then that speaks volumes of you that today you **** yourself over Carsons 'crimes'.
 
He SHOULD continue to do so.

I don't think you actually understood the point. The GOP as a party won't vote for a guy that they need compare to Obama. :lol:

Need? Pish....did you feel the democrats elected Obama because they NEEDED him to be comparable to Bush?

But please...free to continue to excuse and justify your hypocrisy.
 

Find a thread about Carson without some comparison to Obama by right wingers. You can't. The GOP really needs to compare Carson to Obama and they're doing it at all levels. They don't realize how terrible that looks after 7 years of trying to dump on Obama. That you haven't realized it either is no surprise. Please, keep telling yourself that associations with figures an entire party has tried to demonize for nearly a decade will work out in the long run? Specially, tell yourself that continually pointing to somebody you've attacked for 7 years does anything but make many of the positions of the GOP look just downright stupid.

Why SHOULDNT there be a comparison? He is vying for the same position.

Oh..wait...is it...because he is black?

:lamo

EVERY candidate will invite comparison both to the current occupant of the WH and their future opponents.

What I REALIZE is that the Obots have spent 7 years ignoring his lies and now trip over themselves to claim Carson lies. Just as they similarly ignore Hillary's lies. And comically...perhaps also tragically...YOU think that somehow is not supposed to make you look foolish. COme on man...just picture how styupid you look claiming "Carson profited from ties with a felon" whereas "Hillary profited from being married to and defending a scumbag that was impeached, committed perjury, suborned perjury, committed acts of sexual harassment, stands accused of sexual assault and rape, and has spent the last several years with Island hopping buddies that used underage girls for sexual pleasure".

And you will be rushing to the polls for her.

Its not the Rat 'party' that looks 'downright stupid'.
 
Re: Ap exclusive: Carson profits from ties with convicted felon

You can research it if you want. You are the one obfuscating so research away.

Thanks for admitting to attempt a BS dump. It's nice when you make it so easy for us.

Wow, chock full-o-nuts tea party blather. It's like it was just copy and pasted from some tea party BS site.

Descent into obscenities is like waving a white flag of surrender. It's an admission that the argument has lost all connection to rational thinking, truth, fact or honor. Thanks for being the author of your own destruction. Saves the adults from having to bother with you.

i think she was not prosecutable because they could not find anything to use against her
surprised i needed to explain that process
