<p>As half-truths in his autobiography are exposed, the media continues to dig into Ben Carson&rsquo;s past. His response: I am being targeted by the &ldquo;secular progressive movement.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I have always said that I expect to be vetted,&rdquo; said Carson on Sunday&rsquo;s episode of <em>Meet the Press</em>. &ldquo;But being vetted and what is going on with me &lsquo;you said this 30 years ago, you said this 20 years ago, this didn&rsquo;t exist.&rsquo; I have not seen that with anyone else. If you can show me where that&rsquo;s happened with someone else, I will take the statement back.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>According to Carson, none of the other candidates are dealing with this level of scrutiny. &ldquo;Not like this. No, not like that,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;I have never seen this before and many people, other people who are politically experienced, tell me they&rsquo;ve never seen it before either.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>Has he been paying attention to how much information personal information the public is getting from Hillary&rsquo;s emails, I wonder?</p>
<p>Carson believes the scrutiny is simply a reaction to a perceived threat. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m a threat to the progressives, the secular progressive movement in this country. I&rsquo;m a very big threat because they can look at the polling data and they can see that I&rsquo;m the candidate who&rsquo;s most likely to beat Hillary Clinton. They see that.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> As long as Dr. Carson keeps his poise, then the old adage applies &#8220;Any publicity is good publicity.&#8221;</p>
