No, he didn’t; Williams knows the orgs that held the events did no recordings, so he was safe with his retort.

Who knows, but it would likely not help Williams position, and so he will certainly not pursue it.

The burden is on Erickson, not Williams.

Really, there is no burden on anyone in a case like this, which is why the flimsy talk flows.

"Erickson really blew this one."

Obviously a racist.

"No, he didn’t; Williams knows the orgs that held the events did no recordings, so he was safe with his retort."

You accuse Williams of the very thing you are doing now. How much are you getting paid? Are you racist? Is that why you speak against Dr. Carson? Does the alleged behavior put forth by "Pork Chop" Erickson come even close to the behavior that we, with our own eyes have witnessed of Dr. Carson?

You are a liar and without honor. .

What am I doing?

You’re making a fool of yourself (actually re-making, God did the first job quite well)

From the article in question:

Erickson; “They were non-profits that had asked Dr. Carson to speak about military veterans and the work he did with the disabled and both times he spent the entire time talking about himself and his battle with the president and it just struck me wrong."

Dr. Carson's business manager and longtime associate rebutted Erickson's excuse by stating:

Armstrong WIlliams“This is an outrage. When I heard what Erick Erickson said about his justification for not inviting Dr. Carson, I immediately thought it was a smear and outright lie. I dare Erick Erickson to show transcripts where Dr. Ben Carson appears in front of two groups of veterans and speaks solely about himself and President Obama.

editor-surveyor comments

"Armstrong Williams knows that there are no transcripts because there was no recording. He’s just doing what he is paid to do."

OldRetiredArmyGuy says:

“Erickson really blew this one.”

To which you reply:

No, he didn’t; Williams knows the orgs that held the events did no recordings, so he was safe with his retort.

iontheball comments:

"But, did he also determine that no vet recorded the event?"

To which you reply:

editor-surveyor: "Who knows, but it would likely not help Williams position, and so he will certainly not pursue it."

I then challenge you on your comments that infer that Carson and his associate Armstrong Williams are being duplicitous in registering their complaint as to why Dr. Carson was not invited to the Red State event. Erickson's so-called reason for not inviting Dr. Carson is as hollow as your reply to my pointing out that you're a scumbag just like Erickson.

Did you not understand that Armstrong Williams was not at either event?

Erickson was.
How might he “refute” anything?

Armstrong Williams is a professional talker, just like Erickson.

He is not going to search for transcripts that he knows do not exist. His reference to transcripts was pure hyperbole.

That’s the way it is in the game of politics.

What is your problem? (aside from the obvious)

But you'll leap at accepting Erickson's version of events over those of an honorable man like Dr. Carson?

Yeah, right.

Erickson was there, Williams was not.

Williams was just defending Carson, who is a good man, but an astoundingly poor public speaker.

I am inclined to believe Erickson, based on the times I’ve heart Carson speak. He is never well prepared.

Many of us believe that Carson would be a good choice for Cruz to pick as his VP, where he could learn under the best prepared candidate we have ever seen since Reagan.
