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.
belated ping as you were quoted in my post. #52
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)
