“Elmer Fudd” was prescient — whoever he or she might have been. ;)

lol TV, that was bullshit when you wrote it and even more obviously bullshit now. It’s not a free speech issue, the Sun News always had the right to delete the post, the MBACC always had the right to sue. Whether or not they could have won on the merits of the case, however is another matter. It would have had to have been proven that McBride actually caused a loss of revenue for the MBACC as an organization. And of course, too much would have had to have been disclosed in the process of discovery.

It was a witch hunt and a cynical political stunt from Day One — in which our “local fiswrap” as Sic put it, was wholly complicit.

Whoever “Elmer Fudd” might have been, it seems that he/she/they were just a bit on the prophetic side, and knew something was rotten in our little Banana Republic.

“Low-grade moron” you say? Yeah, right.

One last question. What do you like about Mcbride anyway? Nobody with tax problems, failed businesses, and seen as a opportunistic hypocrit (hate bikers til he sees he can get votes by liking bikers) can or should win an election. If thats the best the biker side can put up then no wonder…..

Will: Keep us posted.

To stop and think about it, I’ve said some pretty jackass half-truths!

Shit, who names themselves Fred???

Fred

I need to to know, FITS. Should I start looking for a lawyer?

The fact is, nothing has been proven about McBride being “Elmer Fudd”. There is only the accusation, plus some information that amounts to less than circumstantial evidence that he, specifically, was at the keyboard of a certain computer and wrote that comment. His email addy could have been hacked, someone else could have had access and wrote the post, etc.

Further, the comment was in the form of a question, not a statement. It was speculative in nature, perhaps satirical, perhaps a bit of “forward-thinking’ imaginative writing. Who knows?

The Chamber thinks they know, but they will have to prove it in a court of law, and if McBride is smart he will ask for a jury trial. Given the current economic situation in Horry County, caused in large part by the selective tourism and excessive taxation of John Rhodes authoritarian regime, it is very unlikely that he would lose such a case.

Meanwhile, this case just makes the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce look foolish, paranoid and vindictive.

And so it goes.

Usually, they just allow the word to get out even more and sometimes it’s found to be true after all.
