Neurosurgeon Ben Carson is clearly the Republican front-runner now.

He's under attack about whether he did or didn't fabricate a West Point scholarship, whether he stared down a grizzly bear as a young man and whether he was the most honest student at Yale.

And he's thanking the "mainstream media" for fueling a big surge of contributions to his campaign by scrutinizing these matters.

But the oddest piece of coverage may be The Guardian's photographic tour of Carson's Maryland home, mocking him for displaying his Medal of Freedom, copious pictures with George W. Bush and framed photos from the 2009 biopic "Gifted Hands" starring Cuba Gooding Jr.

The tour also includes a painting of Carson with Jesus and an etched Bible verse with a typo.

Here are the highlights on Twitter:

And here are some of the comments on Facebook:

Heidi Dunn Reidman: Weirdo narcissist!

Sarah FarlaHugin Pollitt: Not a Carson fan but his house is his house. Who cares? Let's just focus on his policies, not his house. He has a quote from proverbs. He's a Christian. Why wouldn't he? There are plenty of Christians who do the same. He has a picture of himself with Jesus. So what? Is that any difference to you having a picture of yourself with someone you admire? It might be weird but so what? Isn't every house a homage to its owner?

Mary Jakubik: Did I just read here that someone has invaded the privacy of Ben Carson's home? Shame on you! Why are you gossip-craving people so caught up with snooping into his private home. I suppose you don't have pictures of yourselves with your favorite people on the walls of your own home.

Mesh Amisi: That's a painting, it's every Christian desire to walk with the Lord and feel His embrace. If that picture reminds him of who he is and his mission, its okay. We even have people called Jesus, Godsend or Christian and it's fine.

Doug Maier: In his defense (and I'm far from a fan), the wall of awards is not that unusual. Heck, if I got a bunch of awards and degrees, I'd display them too. The portraits of himself....well, let's just hope they have some sort of sentimental significance, painted by patients he saved or something. If he paid for them....that's weirder than the grain pyramid thing.

Laura Lee Scott: Ben Carson is smiling because Jesus just offered him a full scholarship to Heaven.

Jon Hellam: He works hard and he's proud something you welfare lefties will never understand.

Caitlin Berczik: First of all, he let people into his home to photograph this weirdness which means he doesn't recognise any of it as weird, which makes me very, very concerned.

Sandra Temime: And he has a quotation about humility on his wall. Oh, the irony.

Susan Vos Anderson: A little creepy....and despite the Bible verse about humility, not seeing that really reflected in the rest of the decor.......Not a big deal, but it seems he is very deliberate in presenting himself as humble when at his home he has more or less built a shrine to himself.

Chinedu Akujinwa Uzoagba: In his own house? how is it an expression of ego? He feels alright to adorn his house with his achievement and success stories.

Helen Kirsopp: This guy does not appear to be a Christian in any sense of the word but is a deluded self idolater.

David Jannard: This is awesome - I love seeing hubris on such a massive scale. Especially when accompanied by typos and Jesus portraits. Holy crap this guy is insane.

Gareth Dowling: He is apoplectically insane, as is anyone who would consider voting for him.

Adam Tenhouse: A man of deep Christian faith has bible verses around, and 'Hallmark Moments' portraits of himself and his Savior? Oh, please, let's all lose our damn minds!

Mark T. Counts: You want to tell me what is wrong with this? This does not have anything to do with Ego, it has to do with him believing that Jesus is always with him and Jesus is his friend. You idiots will try to find anything to make him look bad but it is not working. It shows how stupid you really are. Ben Carson all the way. 2016!!!!!
