Just how much clownery do you need to completely obliterate the good will you built up from starting a foundation to do brain surgery for poor kids? How much pure nonsense does a trailblazing brain surgeon need to peddle to convince the world that he is venal and/or not very smart? Dr. Ben Carson, 2016 GOP presidential nomination hopeful/flirt, isn't entirely sure, but being a student of the scientific method, he is apparently extremely determined to find out.
This article is a total fabrication. Ben Carson has said that he takes Mannatech's supplements and that he has found they are beneficial for him, but he has never officially endorsed Mannatech. He did a couple of paid speeches for Mannatech, but Carson has done tons of paid speeches all over the world. Ben Carson is the best of the best, a really kind and intelligent man, and the media lies again......
This guy is a piece of shit. That's what we would have said in the operating rooms I've worked in. No way he can be a good neurosurgeon with that shit-eating grin. The good ones you can tell by the extra burden they are shouldering. He's a fraud and a lying gravy stain in the toilet bowl of life. But other than that, I'm sure he's okay. Except that he's apparently the Bill Cosby of medicine.
I'm not sure I follow your point. Wonkette is a site that reports real news stories, but does so in a humorous way. Carson's connections to Mannatech are broadly reported and available via a simple Google search - and from reputable news source.
I had noticed that- up close and personal, his eyes are still half closed, like slits, as though the tropical sun is too much for him - indoors.
One of the most vehement critics of Mannatech is microbiologist Ronald Schaar at Johns-Hopkins - you'da thunk Carson would have checked with his colleague before extolling the virtues of these deluxe sugar pills.
He cannot expect us on the one hand to believe that he is wise and smart enough to lead the nation, and on the other hand to believe that he swallowed the bunk about Ambrotose and other Mannatech products.
From the 20/20 epsiode called "Hope in a Bottle" - note the doctor quoted is from John's-Hopkins

(VO) And, say these scientists who are outraged that theirgroundbreaking work is linked to Mannatech and its sugar pill, thereis no proof the sugar in this food supplement can be used by ourbodies.

(OC) Mannatech says that we don't have enough of these basic sugars.
RONALD SCHAAR PHD (JOHNS HOPKINS SCHOOL OF MEDICINE)
It's wrong that we don't have enough of these. As a matter of fact,just about everybody absent just a handful of rare congenital, geneticdisorders can make all the sugars already.
Yeah - right along the lines of "See this video before the government takes it down- again!"
I think Greg Abbot is a much smarter man than Carson, and he took Mannatech to court back in 2007. By that time, Carson has been picking up large speaking fees for 3 years already, and he didn't quit then, or even after his 15 minutes of fame at the National Prayer Breakfast.
If Carson actually believed that he was going to run for prez, he could have ended his association with Mannatech in 2013, but Noooo - he actually cut a video for Public Television extolling the virtues of Glyconutrient supplements (did not name Mannatech) just last year!
Ambertose might make your toes yellow (joke), but the sugar pills are actually called Ambrotose - talk about FRAUD!!Named the company after bread from Heaven, and named their leading product after Ambrosia- the food of the Gods! Just reading about this company makes me see flashing warning signs - how coome the smartest surgeon on the planet didn't see that?
In the end, I must sadly conclude that Carson sold his good name to promote a shoddy company in exactly the same way Scott Brown sold his good name to a fake armaments company - for money, just like wearing fishnets on a street corner!
Have you looked closely at the Clinton Global Graft Initiative yet?The only way you can count their expenditures as being for good works is if you count having Slick Willie show up and hug all your women as "good works"!
The conservative movement is alive and well, and has no time for hustlers of either party - what you are referring to are what Angelo Codevilla calls "The Ruling Class" a self-perpetuating class of feudal overlords in DC - we should join forces to reduce government graft by turning out almost all the bums in congress!
Dr Carson should follow his initial instinct and retire to Florida - he's not conservative, and the Establishment has no time for him either. Feet of sugar-coated clay!
Nice - you are, of course referring to some so-called TEA Party groups who were soliciting money to persuade Carson to "Run, Ben, RUN" - actually, most of the true TEA Party folks weren't buying it. Any time a group starts a business and says it is representing the TEA Party, you can tell that they are only representing their own wallets!The actual TEA Party is very decentralised, united by a desire to shrink the cost of government before the country goes bankrupt like Greece.
The conservative movement is in no way, shape or form alive and well. It's composed of the chronically greedy, who hustle and grift the chronically stupid and it's not even conservative in any classic sense of the word. The movement runs on white Christian resentment and anger and is driven almost wholly by what it hates and opposes-namely anything that is not just exactly like it or that doesn't directly benefit those at the top. It's a death cult and there's nothing conservative about it. Modern conservationism is actually nothing more than the worst sort of vile, toxic reactionary populism, dumbed down to appeal to the lizard brain of the base.
So how did the Greg Abbott and other lawsuits fare? No mention of the results of those lawsuits. Who walked away a millionaire? Who went to jail? Are the lawsuits still pending? Wish you had "the rest of the story".
No problem. Now kindly bend over my knee for the obligatory spanking.

Carson is more than capable of doing it all on his own.

Once more, the Wonkette is showing its liberal scorn for faith-based medicine.
Today we are all Smurfs.

That's Infinite IMPROBABILITY Drive, dear Cuz.
"Improbability Factor 1:1 - we have normality, I repeat, we have normality - anything [Carson] still can't deal with is his own problem!"
Yeah - right along the lines of "See this video before the government takes it down- again!"

He's not that radical - "Nein, Nein. Nein" most likely.
Come back Herman - We've got a lot of alterin' and abolishin' to do!!
