Sic To Enviro Whackos: “Bring It”

Apparently, the Conservation Voters of South Carolina (CVSC) are a little pissed at us right now, as tree-hugger-in-chief Ann Timberlake fired off a bitter, caustic e-mail to state lawmakers and various other sources yesterday afternoon attacking FITS for a story we posted yesterday on the organization’s illegal mailing practices.

Basically, we simply pointed out in our article that a non-profit mail permit was used by the CVSC to send political mail in violation of postal and IRS regulations – which the organization appears to be simultaneously denying … and yet acknowledging.

“Will Folks is blogging and making inaccurate charges,” Timberlake’s e-mail reads. “I am not responding to (FITS) as I do not consider it to be a credible source of information. If we are questioned by the mainstream media, we will defend our position.”

Wait … you’re “not responding” but you send out a mass e-mail response?

Interestingly enough, Timberlake’s response e-mail acknowledges that “one of the Lancaster (mail) pieces mistakenly showed our own non-profit permit.”

“If we wanted to use our non-profit permit for political mailers in the future, (the Post Office’s) advice was to apply to add our PAC to our non-profit filing,” Timberlake adds.

Okay … so what exactly was it that we got wrong, Mother Earth?

Anyway, in addition to Timberlake’s e-mail, a Beaufort-based attorney representing the conservationists hinted strongly that the organization was considering legal action against us.

Whatever.

“If a bunch of anti-deodorant tree huggers want to step in the ring with my attorneys, I’ve got one word for them – bring it,” said FITS founding editor Sic Willie.

Informed that “bring it” was actually two words, Sic just stared blankly for a several minutes before asking if anybody had seen his beanie.

“I’m a new boy,” he said. “I have to wear a beanie.”
