Ben Carson's Love Affair With a "Nutjob" Conspiracy Theorist

Ben Carson's Love Affair With a "Nutjob" Conspiracy Theorist

Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon and political novice near the top of the GOP presidential polls, does not spend much time and energy promoting specific policy stances. He has soared to a statistical tie with Donald Trump by emphasizing his outsider status and calling to revive America, deploying general right-wing rhetoric that resonates with social conservatives. At the recent Republican debate, he said, "The thing that is probably most important is having a brain." But he has provided one important clue as to his fundamental political worldview, by repeatedly endorsing a far-right conspiracy theorist named W. Cleon Skousen, who was characterized in 2007 by the conservative National Review as an "all-around nutjob." Skousen came to prominence in the 1950s as a virulent anti-Communist crusader; he later claimed that a global cabal of bankers controlled the world from behind the scenes, and he once wrote a book that referred to the "blessings of slavery."

Carson swears by Skousen, who died in 2006. In a July 2014 interview, Carson contended that Marxist forces had been using liberals and the mainstream media to undermine the United States. His source: Skousen. "There is a book called The Naked Communist," he said. "It was written in 1958. Cleon Skousen lays out the whole agenda, including the importance of getting people into important positions in the mainstream media so they can help drive the agenda. Well, that's what's going on now." Four months later, while being interviewed by Megyn Kelly on Fox News, Carson denounced unnamed Marxists who were presently seeking to destroy American society: "There was a guy who was a former CIA agent by the name of Cleon Skousen who wrote a book in 1958 called The Naked Communist, and it laid out the whole agenda. You would think by reading it that it was written last year—showing what they're trying to do to American families, what they're trying to do to our Judeo-Christian faith, what they're doing to morality." (Skousen had been an FBI employee—not a CIA officer—and mainly engaged in administrative and clerical duties; later he was a professor at Brigham Young University and police chief of Salt Lake City.) And the most recent edition of this Skousen book boasts Carson's endorsement on the front cover: "The Naked Communist lays out the whole progressive plan. It is unbelievable how fast it has been achieved."

This doesn't get Carson off the hook -- you'd an educated man would know better. But people tend to gravitate toward information that confirms their world view.

did you vote for Barry? Do you know who his mentors were? Do you know rev wright?

After all the things said about Mrs. Obama by the right wing, what shot through my mind, "she has more chins than a Chinese phone book", "I think I see a barbecue potato chip between her neck tube and one of her chins", "she's farting and the pressure is looking for a place to escape". And then I remember how awful that is so I stop. But Lordy, Lordy, it's hard.

Looks like we have a KKK meeting going on here with the Racist Liberals...................Their hate for blacks and women are insane.......

Good think the right wing didn't hate Obama, his wife, daughters and the rest of his family, don't you think?

Oh so now you are attacking another black family...................you have no shame.

Hilarious. USMB Republicans use pictures like these for their avatars.

But mention this woman's neck tube:

And you are suddenly the worst racist in the world.

Hilarious!

Look Liberal................your Racist Rants will not get you anywhere...............................There you again.................abusing Carson's wife you lowlife KKK supporting Liberal........................

See? Not a word about those Avatars.

Dunno what exactly is wrong with 'Merca but when Obama supporters call people "racist" it's because they mean it; when righties call Obama supporters who diss Carson "racist" it's because they're ridiculing them!!! Righties are in the right; Obama supporters are in with Wright!!!

Gotta laugh!!!

I heard Bill was asking for a box of Cuban Cigars if the Hildabeast wins...........and a staff of interns.

Oh that was supposed to be humor ...epic fail.
Still waiting on those links.

Already gave you TWO. Here try again idiot.

False they are not credible.

You see it as going backwards for you to support a Negro? It's YOU that is NOT catching up.

False! his ethnicity is only important to racist fucks like yourself why else would you need to mention it?
Anyone no matter what their race who adheres to tea bagger infected, nutjob pandering, conservative idology is falling backwards.

Use whatever sorry ass excuse you want, you can't hide you are a racist. Why else would you hate the Negro running?

The only posters making excuses are you fucks .
I don't care if he's black but obviously you do.
Why else would you persist in calling him a Negro. ?

Negro IS the proper term but now back to YOUR racist ways. Do you truly expect to hide behind the paper thin excuse of policy to cover your bigotry? Or your outright RACIST spew to bring harm to an educated civilized Negro?

False it's a meaningless term .
I'm not hiding from anything or anyone .
Nothing nothing I've said about Carson is even remotely racist, the shit you're slinging reeks of it .

This is the latest trolling fad by the usual suspects, this 'you're a racist if you think Carson is an idiot' trolling.

I agree with Dr Carson that the Jews in nazi Germany would have been far better if they were armed.


But as far as American love affair with Comrade Sanders and communism we have to blame corrupt welfare/warfare state politicians and government education:



Every politically controlled educational system will inculcate the doctrine of state supremacy sooner or later. . . . Once that doctrine has been accepted, it becomes an almost superhuman task to break the stranglehold of the political power over the life of the citizen. It has had his body, property and mind in its clutches from infancy. An octopus would sooner release its prey. A tax-supported, compulsory educational system is the complete model of the totalitarian state.

I see three. One is "let him die, two is "the GOP destroyed the economy" and three is avatars like this:

I look forward to seeing Rain Man Ben and Candy Carson out on the campaign trail.

Looks only matter to empty, soulless and morally bankrupt insignificant nobodies like you, but since you brought it up, Mrs. Carson is far better looking than your idol, the liar, Hillary Clinton.

Or for that matter, the pear shaped Queen of cellulite, Michelle Obama, whom I am hesitant to call First lady, because to be First Lady, one has to be a lady.
