Carson won award for Most Gullible! Check out the gory details of his epic lies.
Ben Carson’s tale about the “Perceptions 310” class at Yale is so bizarre on its face that it has been difficult to imagine how it could have come about. According to Carson’s telling, the professor informed the 150 students in the class that their final exams had been accidentally destroyed in a fire, asked them to take a replacement (which was much harder), at which point all but Honest Ben walked out of the class. For his rectitude, he was rewarded with his picture in the Yale Daily News and $10. But, the professor revealed, it was all a hoax.
The entire story never made any sense. If the final exam was over, at exactly what class was the announcement made? Why would a professor subject the students to such a hoax? How does any of this reflect on Carson’s honesty?
In response to questions about the story, Carson has posted a relevant piece of evidence on his Facebook page www.facebook.com/…. If one actually reads it, the story is now clear. Ben Carson really tied with a few other students as Dupe of the Year.
The posted story, from the Yale Daily News, reports that the rival Yale Record had produced a parody issue of the Daily News, with fake articles. Among these, was an article claiming that the final exams from Psychology 10 had been accidentally destroyed, and there would be a make-up exam. “Several students” showed up for the fake exam, unaware that the entire supposed issue of the Yale Daily News was a parody. Among these gullible students was apparently one Ben Carson. So Carson has taken a story of his own inability to distinguish reality from parody and spun it into a tall tale about his shining rectitude.
And the tale really is almost pure fabrication. Carson claims that the other 150 all showed up for the exam, which was tremendously more difficult than the original. “As I stared at the questions, I couldn’t believe them either. They were incredibly difficult, if not impossible. Each of them contained a thread of what we should have known from the course, but they were so intricate that I figured a brilliant psychiatrist might have trouble with some of them.” He reports that students around him were so intimidated by how hard the questions were that they slipped out of the auditorium, intending to lie and say they did not know that the make-up exam had been set. And it all ends like this:
“Within ten minutes after the exam started we were down to roughly one hundred. Soon half the class was gone, and the exodus continued. Not one person termed in the examination before leaving.” Finally only Ben remains, because he is so honest, struggling with the questions. The professor arrives, announces that she wanted to find the most honest student, and it is Ben. A photographer takes his picture, and she gives him $10 (which, as it transpires, he had needed).
Compare this with the article Carson himself posts: “A false exam help in 203 WLH was attended by several students not aware that the replacement exam was a hoax. The exams distributed to the group closely resembled the psychology exam given on Monday morning”.
In short Ben Carson is a pathological liar, and in addition is so dim that he can’t figure out that he himself has just posted proof that he was lying.
