Ben Carson’s Winning GOP Debate Strategy: Flat Out Lying About Mannatech

Cons better hope his poll #'s are a flash in the pan because HRC, or whoever the non-Repub nominee is, will squash that liar

You have to admit though that whoever it is will have to be very careful doing it or they will come off as a racial bigot. Even the women are turning away from Hillary and onto Carson because of his soft speaking and mild manners. Anyone attempting to bully him will lose some points.
 
Pretty obvious he lied. He would have been better off by being honest. "I still believe in glyconutrients and believe Mannatech does make a good glyconutrient product, but I should have delved deeper into the company"

Live and learn
 
Carson is intelligent? He thinks the pyramids were used to store grain.
Carson is a curiosity. Nothing about his persona or his background squares with his being an outstanding neurosurgeon. Proficiency in any field of medicine, with special emphasis on brain surgery, is reflective of a well-developed intellect and much of what Carson has to say disagrees with that.

I would like to know what other neurosurgeons think of Ben Carson.
 
According to some Doctor friends he has an outstanding reputation. This is by no means an endorsement but it would be nice to hear what he has to say, a plan.
Now as it concerns Hillary and those on the left that call him a liar, those that live in glass houses should not throw stones. Hillary has written the book on how to lie and ignore the truth when she is called on it.

Interesting.
So when Carson doesn't get the nomination will it be fair to say that most Republicans are racist?

No. Republicans aren't the only ones who will cast their votes. You really are a special kind of stupid aren't you?

Liberals are being accused of being racist for not supporting Carson. By idiots like you. So apply the same standard to your GOP pals.

That's not the point is it? The point is that even Independents will be allowed to vote for Carson. He's already stripping away the Women's vote from Hillary. But you go right ahead with your racist rants.

Okay. Accepting your rules for the moment,

if Ben Carson loses primaries in states where only registered Republicans are allowed to vote, that will prove that most Republicans in that state are racist.

No. But it does prove that you are.

Nice meltdown, but too immature by current USMB standards for award.

Grow up to adult RW lunacy and try again.

Got to love this thread... Carson is caught red handed and the answer from the right is 'bu but but Hillary...'

The truth is Jeb Bush is the only GOP candidate who has a record as good as Hillary Clinton's... Trump and Carson don't have a true statement between them..
 
Last I heard Helaine Olen of Slate hadn't been appointed to the supreme court or the FDA so her opinion of "companies like Mannatech" is just the opinion of a blogger in a second rate blog. It carries absolutely no weight, legal or otherwise and is interesting only to the low information left. It's no secret that left wing sleazy investigators employed by research centers like Media Matters have gone into every republican candidate's background, personal and otherwise back to their grammar school days. It's ironic that we don't even know for sure what the president's birth certificate looks like and his freaking school records are locked in a vault somewhere. Nobody cared if Barry Hussein was an associate of a known domestic terrorist and may have been skimming money from an endowment fund that he and Bill Ayers administered which was intended to improve education in Chicago (how did that work out?) . Nobody cared that his father was a communist bigamist anti-American radical but they care deeply that a successful Black surgeon was selling vitamins on the side. You almost gotta laugh.
 
Amway, Shaklee, Avon, Mary Kay, and etc.................do business this way..............It is a pyramid sales of products produced by the company that gets sold via distributors down the line.............................Under this type of sales, it is not uncommon for some of the sales people to misrepresent a product and say it does miracles.............................

Secondly, if the people producing the product state that it is a different situation...............

Big Pharma HATES supplemental FOOD SUPPLEMENTS............They sue them all the time...........because big Pharma is BIG BUSINESS............and NATURAL CURES must be destroyed.........................

Late in High School I got on the Shaklee products gig...................I used the supplements and overall they were good products..........I looked up the NUTRITIONAL value of stuff like Alphalfa tabs that boost the bodies natural defenses and makes the body work better..........I also was a jock, so I made Protein Shakes out of their product.............The products were pretty good and natural..................

So, did I just endorse a PRODUCT.................Can I be sued for Stating that at one time I sold the stuff.....................I gave an opinion of the vitamins I used that I thought were pretty good................................As a itsy bitsy little distributor that mainly just bought the stuff.......................

I don't have a problem with Carson using or endorsing Natural Supplements.............I believe Natural Supplements can make you feel bettter and in some cases actually help your body fight off colds, flues, and etc...............big Pharma loves to sue anyone that makes those kind of statements.

Don't know much about Ben.

He sure seems to draw a lot of attention from the whackjobs on the far left.

It might be worth looking into him a little more.
 
All this outrage from the folks pan-handling alternative meds and homeopathic cures. You know what a homeopathic compound is ? NOTHING... That's what it is.

Carson never violated medical ethics. Never promoted it as a cure for anything. May not do more for the metabolism of a cancer patient than a Red Bull, but if it works for YOU --- you buy it. His image was UNKNOWN when he was promoting the product. He's not leveraging fame. Doctors have suggested weirder elixirs like straight bourbon and 50 years ago were peddling cigarettes.. This pales in comparison. Have a nice fight about it..
 
Oh, so he's a moron AND a fucking liar!


Ben Carson’s Winning GOP Debate Strategy: Flat Out Lying About Mannatech

The question was about Carson’s 10-year involvement with a sketchy multilevel marketing firm called Mannatech. As Quintanilla noted, Mannatech has faced scrutiny over its claims that its vitamins could cure everything from autism to cancer, and it paid $7 million to settle deceptive advertising charges brought by the Texas attorney general. Slate’s Helaine Olen has also explained how companies like Mannatech prey on thepoor, desperate, and gullible by promising riches if they enroll as direct-sales associates hawking the company’s products. Quintanilla asked Carson a simple question: Why would he continue to be involved with such a company?

Carson’s answer started out equally simple. And then it got complicated. And then he tried to make it simple again. And he was fibbing pretty much the entire time.

“That’s easy to answer,” said the candidate, who has recently emerged as the leading Republican candidate for president. “I didn’t have any involvement with them. That is total propaganda. And this is what happens in our society: total propaganda.”

Got that? Zero involvement. Total propaganda.

Oh sure, Carson hedged, “I did a couple speeches for them. … They were paid speeches.” But! “It is absolutely absurd to say that I had any kind of a relationship with them.”

In fact, the Wall Street Journal has cataloged Carson’s relationship with Mannatech in detail, and you can watch a video of him endorsing the company's products right here:




Yo, it`s funny how you want to believe that Ben Carson is lying? But you Mini Socialist can`t see Hillary and Obama lying through their teeth!!! You can add Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and the rest of the Puppet Socialist Democrat Party!!!

This has been debunked. Get over it.

Bullshit! Show me the Wall Street Journal retraction if they got it wrong.

And you can't bitch about the WSJ being the imaginary 'Liberal Media', so you're fucked.
