[...] Knee-jerk Henry (Henry McMaster, the Attorney General of South Carolina) must have sent his swat team to bring down Craigslist, as this is all I find on everyone’s favorite classifieds site: [...]

McMaster couldn’t care less what the law really says…

From CBS News:

“Can Craigslist be held criminally liable or sued for having illegal ads on its site? Not under current federal law, which grants immunity to sites like Craigslist for posting content it didn’t create.

“Congress’ rationale, which I think was a good one, that we want to not make illegal content legal or somehow inexcusable but place the onus on the people who are behaving badly in the first place,” said Matt Zimmerman, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation.”

I wonder if McMaster realizes that … despite the “CraigsList Killer” incident (which people mostly consider an anomaly and a reminder to be careful) … most people I know LIKE CraigList. I can’t imagine the hassle of trying to move to a new place without it. Just because it’s based in San Francisco, it still isn’t exactly unpopular here in SC.

I guess everyone wants to move up –
McMaster to Gov
and
Gowdy to Attny General (which is a great idea) but it would leave Spartanburg County without a viable leader.

“FITSNews increasingly predictable, Club-For-Growth/Howard Rich-funded propaganda campaign is making news today . . .”

EMPHASIS on the MAKING NEWS rather than REPORTING NEWS. Oh, and you can thank me later for correcting the opening paragraph.

PS – You’re actually going to let Wes scoop you on Haley? You guys are slipping or just too busy following the non-story over at USC. Who’s on first? Who cares.
