On the eve of tonight’s Republican debate, which is sure to be a doozy, porn magnate Larry Flynt has offered “between $50,000 and $1 million” for “confirmable information” that one of Ben Carson‘s top aides sexually harassed another man back in the late ’90s.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal just published an open letter penned by Flynt calling Carson a “hypocrite” for working with chief campaign architect Armstrong Williams, who the presidential hopeless said would be part of a “package deal” if he is elected to the oval office.
“Dr. Carson, Heal Thyself!” Flynt’s letter, which was published yesterday, begins.
It continues: “Armstrong Williams, your brother in faith and the person you say you trust more than anyone else outside of your immediate family, settled a lawsuit out of court after affidavits provided allegations that he initiated unwanted sexual advances toward other men.”
“Dr Carson,” Flynt says, “you claim to be an advocate of traditional family values. You have linked gays with bestiality and the North American Man/Boy Love Association. You have opposed same-sex marriage, accusing marriage equality advocates of “directly attacking the relationship between God and his people. Yet, you have partnered with an accused sexual predator.”
Flynt concludes with “You, sir, are a hypocrite!”
Here’s the backstory: In 1998, Williams was sued by his personal trainer, Stephen Gregory, after allegedly grabbing the man’s butt and crotch, kissing him on the mouth and attempting to climb into bed with him on multiple business trips.
The suit was eventually settled out of court, but Flynt is intent on bringing the story to light. He is willing to pay up to $1 million smackeroos to anyone who can provide proof of Williams’ sordid sexual past with other men, which he wants to publish in Hustler.
We have a feeling this could get veeeery interesting.

Two words, Ben: Kay. Why.

What difference does it make? Ben Carson is not getting anywhere near the White House.

Nobody cares what happened 20 years ago!

I’m not a fan of Ben Carson, but this is just pathetic. If I wanted to follow TMZ, The National Enquirer, or Star magazine I would. I thought we were better than this type of cheap propaganda.

The real issue some people ignore is that this suit was settled not fought which means someone did not want to try the case and have a whole bunch of evidence of wrongdoing get tossed around in a public courtroom. Yes it happened about 20 years ago and no doubt we will see a tearful comment by someone about how the perpetrator has turned his life around after getting in right with Cheezus.
But the question is have there been other such incidents since then? People who think that employment comes with certain perks with the employees often do not stop after the first incident. Of course maybe he did get smart and hire someone to carry his baggage for him like a certain other hypocrite. But either way there may well be additional incidents which will come to light and embarrass poor Dr. Ben. After all we do recall a Dugger family secret coming to light which was dismissed as a youthful indiscretion at age 16 which had been forgiven by Cheezus only t find out the perpetrator was busy cheating on his wife or at least trying to do so much more recently.

Rock On Larry!

Hustler’s still in business?

I have no proof to back up my belief that Ben Carson gave up the booty when he was a teenager. My gut instincts tell me not only did he give up the booty but it was an older white guy he gave it up to. I can’t shake that feeling about him. He simply looks the type, not that there is anything wrong with loving gay sex.
The problem is how hypocritical his stance has become. It is getting time for ol’ Ben to be told to go sit down some where, any where you choose. Just as long as it is no longer around us. You have served your purpose, Ben, just as Alan Keyes and Herman Cain did before you. Thank you now goodbye.

I love Larry Flynt!!!! They hate him because they can’t control him and he has enough money not to be bought off.

“verrry interesting”???? Very UNINTERESTING.
Giancarlo85
Look up what Donald Trump did to his exwife. Republicans do this a lot while lecturing others.
Alex Rothwell
This is interesting, maybe some one will really come forward.

Uh, Armstrong Williams’ closet case status, sexual harassment suit, and general buffoonery are well known to anyone who was half-awake during the late 1980s and 1990s.
He was one of a wave of Black Republican race-hustlers who got paid handsomely to attack other Black people. Of course it turned out that his race and sexuality-baiting blew up in his face.
Ben Carson showed yet again last night that he’s heading somewhere, but it won’t be the US White House, except as a guest of President Obama, Clinton, or whichever Democrat wins in 2016.

@Brett Lehmann: You “THOUGHT” that? Why?
o.codone
@Bob LaBlah: My gaydar went off the first time I heard Ben Carson speak. Others see this as well. Such a soft guy. And have you seen the wife? Ha. She would make me gay. Oh, yeah, I am already gay.
On the positive side, Carson at least hired gay men into positions of power.
Finally Hustler Magazine? Seriously? What is it, a five page, photocopied monthly now?
