Top Carson adviser praises Farrakhan urges Nation of Islam be paid by taxpayers to patrol Chicago

This is a story that contrasts the managerial skill of Ben Carson with that of Donald Trump. It is very unlikely Trump would handle this the same way Carson is handling it.

It might have gone under the radar of the mainstream media, but the blogosphere has told an interesting story about one of Ben Carsonâ€™s advisers that directly reflects on the presidential candidateâ€™s ability to hire quality people to help him administer his affairs.

Given his public questioning of Muslimsâ€™ suitability to hold positions of trust, it is not insignificant that a top adviser of Carson has called for taxpayers to pay Nation of Islam (NOI) thugs, many of whom have been incarcerated, to patrol the streets of Chicago to make it safe again.

As if this was not bad enough, Carsonâ€™s adviser Armstrong Williams turns out to be somewhat friendly with NOI leader Louis Farrakhan. Williams used his radio show to promote the 20th anniversary of Farrakhanâ€™s fraudulent â€œMillion Man March,â€ and spoke fondly of the event.

Apparently Carson is either too naÃ¯ve to realize that Williams is a nut case or he doesnâ€™t see anything wrong with paying psychopaths to patrol side by side with...

I attended the 2000 state Reform Party convention in Illinois. The two factions were the Farrakhanites/lefties vs.. Buchananites.

Tempers flared. The Buchanan folks had the numbers. The head of the Farrakhanite/lefty faction was actually a gentleman, and allowed everything to go in a proper manner. He acted with dignity.

Some of the Buchanan folks got a bit mouthy after the votes, and there was a near skirmish between one of the Buchanan people and a short fellow who was allied with Farrakhan.

Before long, he pulls out a piece of paper naming him as some kind of law enforcement in Kenwood. I immediately told him I lived in that area in the ‘80s, and started asking him about the old neighborhood. He shut up, quickly. (This was also Obama’s neighborhood, for the record)

He had the piece of paper, but I doubt he actually did anything. When I lived there, I would occasionally see a car, and the U of C acknowledged their presence in a neutral manner, but besides the Chicago Police, the U of C police, and the extra police watching Harold Washington’s pad nearby in Hyde Park, they were a non-factor. I am sure they still are a non-factor.

They let them sand bag Cain and what did we get? Romney!

I donated to Cain when I was nearly broke, and drove with his sticker on my car into Madison, WI every day, putting me in the grey zone for a keying attack.

I was willing to believe him until he stopped fighting back. He could have come clean, completely clean. He could have fought if he was not guilty. He could have not put people like me in the position of supporting a man with that kind of exposure.

That was a bad year.
