First Will said he was done talking about this. That he was pressured to come out in order to stop the drip drip drip of media reports. Now we know he lied when he said he was done talking about this.
It is abundantly clear that Will Folks is the number 1 media “source” who is causing the drip drip drip of rumor and innuendo. Will has still failed to provide any evidence of his accusations or subject himself to cross-examination or serious media interviews.
I believe Nikki not an ugly pathetic loser.
Karma’s a bitch Nikki……..you were the one who was married. How is it going with the hubby? I don’t imagine he’s too happy with you. Poor guy. When will people figure out that this crap always come to light.
Ya did what ya had to do Sic. It was also the right thing to do. Hang in there.
Will: Please provide us with some e-mails from NH that will put this story “to bed” so that we can move forward! Without some proof, it’s your word against hers. You said you have the proof so let us know details.
I am shocked at how many people are willing to believe Folks, without any evidence to support his claim. Not only that, but Folks only said he had an “inappropriate physical relationship”; what does that mean? For all we know, that could mean he tried to kiss Haley and she slapped him. Folks never even said there was a consensual sexual relationship, but everyone is jumping to conclusions prematurely. To me it is obvious this is just to distract attention from the real issues in the campaign and Haley’s qualifications. There is no evidence Folks was coerced into any of his daily drip of rumor and innuendo. This is clearly politically motivated and timed to hurt Haley. Folks lied when he said he would have nothing else to say about this.
How disingenuous to make aaccusations that can ruin careers and then have no accountibility or evidence.
Your words SICK WILLIE are worth what everyone paid for them – ZIPPO – NOTTA – ZILCH.
You are a gutless moron suffering from microcephaly and likely a paid gun for the ultra-left who are desparate and will resort ot anything including unsubstantiated allegations from a balding blogger who doesn’t have the courage to put the proof where his mouth is.
Until you prove what you say then what you say is a lie. Guess you should have taken pictures so you could sell them like all the other scumbags.
What a precious picture. If all the news about the Haler affair is true…then this picture can be appropriately captioned : The South Carolinian Merry Philandering Trio.
Mark Sanford had more hair then. Willie obviously lost his hair.
Reguardless if the story is true or not,and I believe it’s not, your release of the information will cost you because of how and when you did so. Your name ,if ever, will be remembered as a fool. You tarnish your family and your future children to history’s shame hall. You will have to have forgiveness prayed over you. Pray to have even the hope of desire of repentence. Sometimes repentence does not come even with tears. Your heart hardens with every moment you let slip before your coming clean. Enjoy the extra money from the increase in clicks on your web page.
It bears repeating that Will supported Haley and has been for months. Why would he all the sudden try to dump on her campaign? Folks has put himself and his family in the crosshairs. You think he would go to that length to affect a campaign? I have a hard time even someone with questionable morals or ethics (sorry Will) would do that to his own family and to someone he clearly supported.
wow, she’s giving Folks a “prostate exam” and by the look on his face and the bulge in his pants looks like the SicMeister is enjoying it…
Hayley, you gonna top the charts this week with this great tune, and yes Haley, you can pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, ’cause I’m gonna be mighty proud to call you Governor!
“likely a paid gun for the ultra-left.” Who would have thunk it? Now the tea-party is imploding. One of the best tea baggers of all time is now working for the ultra-left?????????? That just goes to show, despite the reasonableness in the libertarian platform, they are still just a bunch of conspiracy nut jobs. It is amazing that people would assume that Will is working for the “ultra-left” as opposed to telling the truth. The former is much harder for me to believe, though the latter runs a tight second.
The bald guy in the middle is who Nikki slept with? When does the news break that’s she is a heroin addict b/c that’s the only way that chit went down, major narcotics are in play. What a douche.
Hopefully most people realize he is saying this to help and maybe on behalf of one of the other candidates. She still has my vote and I hope she takes legal action against this low life.
In the words of that great American Poet, Axl Rose, “Welcome to the Jungle.”
This picture is nothing more than a chance for Will to embrace the shit storm going on right now. And, I, for one, think that the good humor with with this photo was offered is very much needed.
Let me make a prediction! Folks will recant his story within a week! This guy has some issues, this is all a setup to get media attention. Further he is love sick and thinks that by recanting his story he will help Nikki win! A new low for South Carolina!
1. To those of you who are saying Will is gutless because he is not backing up his statement, did you forget that he said he has (access to) Verizon’s records of the text messages? Do you actually think he’s gonna post those here to satisfy you? As far as I know, if they exist, we will be seeing those in The State. Try to connect a few dots, people… your I.Q. is showing.
2. I joked in another thread that all this is about is that Will probably grabbed Nikki’s ass at a cocktail party one time, but for those who really think “an innappropriate physical relationship” can mean anything but bumpin’ uglies, you are showing your I.Q. also. Do you really think Will would put himself (and his wife) and a candidate he was going to endorse (and her family) through all this crap if it wasn’t “all the way” and it wasn’t going to be in the paper between now and the primary. Is *thinking* a foreign concept to you people? Good grief.
3. Those of you who are making cancer jokes are… well, completely sickening me… that sh!t is nothing to joke about. Ask me how I know.
Actually, I DO think Will would put himself and his wife (and Nikki and her family) through this if the price were right. He’s done it before; why wouldn’t he do it again? What does he really have to lose by confessing to an “inappropriate physical relationship” BEFORE his marriage? No much. And he has everything to gain: the initial pay-off (from whomever it’s coming), the HUGE increase in traffic to this site, and the “playa” status he clearly longs for. CriticalMass, you’re the one who’s got your I.Q. hangin’ out for all to see… What a sad story this is.
Ahhh, Hermione… you try so hard, but you fall so short of your goal.
I didn’t say people aren’t thinking if they believe Will would put himself and his fam and Nikki and her fam through all this by confessing “an inappropriate physical relationship” just for financial gain and playa status.
I said “Do you really think Will would put himself (and his wife) and a candidate he was going to endorse (and her family) through all this crap if it wasn’t ‘all the way’ and it wasn’t going to be in the paper between now and the primary?”
In other words, it was addressed to those people who questioned whether it was sex.
Will. If I were you I would have released this information at the time when I could personally gain the most from it. I would have made sure there were a book deal or a Lifetime movie attached with it, all I’m saying, there is big bucks in dropping a neutron bomb on SC politics. Just remember the little people, boss man.
If Will stings Barrett or one of the other candidates in coming clean on what really happened, how much money changed hands, and that the “inappropriate physical relationship” was a back massage or some such, only THEN will he be redeemed.
In such a case, he would REALLY deserve all the traffic his site has gotten in the past couple of days.
Oh Lord, what’s next…don’t tell me, He has a pair of blue suit pants with “vaginal fluid stains” on them that will be tested for DNA. I wonder if the Republicans will call for impeachment hearings this time too? NOT!!1
South Carolina has always been the backwards laughing stock of the nation, only y’all don’t know it. From red dot stores to racist bigots, you have all the trappings of a backwards state. Even your political bloggers are hacks…awesome.
You Republicans amaze me, especially the South Carolina variety. Such hypocrites with your holy-than-thou attitude. Your hate-filled, bigoted, fear-mongering talk has driven our precious state into the ground. Your refusal to support fair taxation has nearly bankrupted us.
Thank you, Will, for showing how Palin’s Pal is another typical lying Republican who will say and do anything to get elected. Then again, maybe we should all vote for her and hope she does what Palin did . . . resign half-way through her term.
After 2 days of producing ZERO evidence, now all Mr. Folks can say is the burden of proof is on Haley (whom he says he supports!) to disprove his accusation which was timed for maximum political effect to ruin a promising career. Anyone who believes (without evidence, mind you) that Haley would give the time of day to an ugly out-of-work political hack is living in fantasyland along with Will. Now we can see that Will is willing to do anything, including destroying an honorable family, to satisfy his self-described “insatiable lust for attention”. Anyone who believes a backstabbing blogger with a criminal record is either hopelessly naive or extremely gullible.
Again, the beauty of shutting the Hell up is lost. Take it from an old pro retired from the game, Sic, you gotta know when to be quiet and to learn the servant’s code. I worked for some politicians years ago with their own scandals. But, we kept our mouths shut. Who slept with who and who we might have even slept with stays with us old guys to our graves.
Sure, some people might think you are a hero for telling your story with Haley, who at the time you worked for. But, not for one moment do I want you to think I am one of them, even if you prove to be right beyond doubt.
You broke the old code. Right or wrong, it is something political hands adhere to. The people we worked for way back when trusted us. We kept that trust.
I like you, Sic, as you know, and most of time enjoy your point of view. But, brother, on this one, you are letting your ego cloud your judgment. Being at a candidate’s side in a campaign allows you see them at their weakest. You will learn their doubts and their fears and even have chances, if they are of the opposite sex, to embrace them. But, you keep your mouth shut about it.
I guess I am G. Gordan Liddy type of guy to your John Dean. Think about it a bit, and you might understand what the Hell I am talking about.
What a poor sick man. An inappropriate relationship all in his mind. I am sure you tried and she turned you down. That’s what this is all about. You are no better than any of the other men in politics!
Ah, c’mon, she’s hot. I’d do her in a flash if I thought we could both get away with it. (OK, I’m single, and I’d need to be convinced there were extenuating circumstances with her husband.)
They got caught somehow, too bad. Elect her anyway! We’re all human, all born with sin. Let s/he who is without sin vote against Nikki in the election. I forgive her, her husband should, too; and so should y’all. I’m for Gov. Nikki Haley in 2010, and I REALLY don’t care who she had sex with, when, in what position, for how long, and with what outcome. If y’all want to talk in public about sexual relations, then talk about your own sex life — as if anyone else would find it interesting…
Listen, it’s time that American culture get over our naivete and puritanism about sexual relations. Yes, of course monogamous marriage is an ideal that we all strive for. Yes, of course infidelity is very wrong. But again, we are all sinners.
And there are far, FAR more important criteria on which to evaluate a public servant, who is looking after the public good, than his/her sexual morality.
While Pearson and Folks make allusions to the “rumor,” there is nothing in the correspondence proving Folks’ claim that he had an “inappropriate physical relationship” with Haley in 2007.
Pearson said the text messages are authentic but said he was only working with Folks to prevent “false rumors” from coming to light.
“This blogger’s overactive imagination has gone into overdrive,” Pearson said in an e-mail to CNN. “South Carolina politics is full of rumors and innuendo, and of course our campaign did everything in our power to prevent false rumors about Nikki from airing out in the media as they now have.
“Every campaign would have done exactly the same thing,” he added. “As always, Nikki is determined to keep this campaign focused on the people and issues that matter.”
All right everyone… If this is how it’s going to be with clearing the air and letting honesty out of the bag, then I have to put my pride away and do the same. Over the last three years, William (little will) and I have been engaged in a love affair. I am planning on coming clean with my wife which I am sure will cost me my marriage. Nontheless, I think if we are all coming clean here, Haley should be honest as well. If I find out that William has been doing the both of us at the same time, I am going to slap his face and spat upon him. Good ridence you bastard!
I am sick of this low down dirty politics. Even if it’s true,…You have made me more determined than ever to vote for Nikki. The voters see right through this. The other guys in this race are the status quo.
I have supported Ms. Haley in other elections…. However, I have said this before and will continue to believe that you can be honest and be elected once, but if you are re-elected and become a permanent politician, you have no choice but become corrupt. Egos abound in the political arena, and eventually they all feel above the same morals and laws they preach to us regular citizens.
I was not supporting Ms. Haley for Governor simply because I do not feel she is qualified. After this last week, I am not sure if the Republican Party is offering a viable candidate, if so, it would have to be McMaster.
Here is the way I see it playing out. Haley aborts the mission and Barrett fires staff. I thought there would be a run-off, but now I am thinking McMaster will take it hands down….. Hopefully Vincent Sheheen and the Dems can win in November. We need something different in the Governor’s Office!
Will, why didn’t you be a real man and tell Mike, Nikki’s husband, about this so-called affair before it broke so he may have been better able to handle the situation publicly. I can imagine how he feels right now. He goes to work and everyone’s looking at him like he was a fool. Whether it happened or not, you’re an asshole. By the way, I just got finished fucking your wife in the ass.
Time to stop all the stupidity. This all boils down to Folks has a jackass past, but he is not obligated to stay silent about the rumored affair. The fact is, it could have happened and there are many things pointing to the fact that something may have happened. But until there is proof, Nikki’s supporters should stick with her. But to sit here and proclaim everyone is lying until it is shown to be true, may and will come back to bit you all in the ass. And the ones that say just because of the way it was exposed, you will vote for her even if it is true shows the world many in this state need to have their voter registration revoked.
Support her, but keep your eyes open, until it is proven false or true. All the other BS is stupid and if it comes out that it happened, many of you will lose face causing you to tuck tail and run.
The thing to do for everyone on all side it to keep your mouth shut, stay neutral, and wait and see how it plays out. Too many on both sides are letting their mouths overload their ass and that is plain out stupid!
Sorry sir, but you are wrong and your comment is why politics are in the crapper. Granted you are right that way too often people use a trusted position to further their own agenda. But when it comes to those we are trusting to run our country or state, silence about known wrong doings is why most politicians feel they are above the law. For a person to know wrong was done, yet stay silent, they are as guilty as the one who did it. We need accountability in our elected officials and we no longer can stand for corruption to be hidden. Elected officials are not above the laws and rules the rest of the world are bound by, they are actually more accountable. And setting aside this matter till proof is given, we need many more folks who are willing to announce the corruption and lies committed by our officials. There is not and should not be a code of silence surrounding our elected people.
I have. To come clean. Before WIll got married we hung out and he was heavy into whores .he scored a night gig with one. She has since died of Aids and I am torned about telling his wife coz she may be infected.
Just because you don’t like the message or the way it’s being delivered, doesn’t mean it’s not true. Not very smart to make the accusation without being able to prove it. Bye Nikki, the sunset’s callin’.
Wow. So even if the affair is proven, some commenters here are even MORE determined to vote for Hayes. Even though she straight out lied, it’s the politics of personal destruction that’s at fault.
In other words, Democrats were exactly right about Clinton in 98.
Politics warps people’s judgment so badly, it’d be sad if it weren’t so funny.
After 4 days of all rumor and ZERO evidence of anything improper on Haley’s part, it is now clear that WF has NO evidence to support his wild accusation. This gutless backstabbing smear was clearly timed for maximum political impact with no concern for the impact on Haley’s children. WF’s insatiable lust for attention and ad revenue has prevailed over good judgment and ethics.
IT IS WHAT IT IS…I AM NOT SURPRISE at how this situation “appears” to be unraveling.
LAST SUMMER,Mark Sanford stated he had been involved with a few women other than his wife.. but never crossed the line :-}
Caught, attempting to sneak back into the USA from his visiting his argentine mistress, Mark Sanford called a news conference to “admit” to his guilt of affairs. A “local female”… was so “concerned” with what details SANDFORD was going to release about his female companions that she arrived at the press conference “accompanied by her attorney” to “protect” her good name? I wonder.. who was s h e?
The only thing making me question my support for Haley is that I read her favorite band is ABBA. ABBA??????? They rank at the bottom of my list with the BeeGees and Rascal Flatts.
Ride this horse as long as you can cowboy ’cause it’s probably your last rodeo.
Stories like this and guys like FitNews.com’s ‘founding editor’ help remind me what a waste of money and time it is to frequent political ‘haunts’ in Columbia … Folks and those like Folks are really a lot like fungal spores. What a waste of space, what a mess they make.
The ‘operatives’ … yea, right. Just a bunch of wallowing leaches.
Affair or no affair, the real concern here is that she allowed aineibe dressed like he’s homeless into her fundraiser! Barrett would never allow such slobs into his fundraisers…this is direct evidence that Nikki is out of touch and unqualified for governor.

Actually, I DO think Will would put himself and his wife (and Nikki and her family) through this if the price were right. He’s done it before; why wouldn’t he do it again? What does he really have to lose by confessing to an “inappropriate physical relationship” BEFORE his marriage? No much. And he has everything to gain: the initial pay-off (from whomever it’s coming), the HUGE increase in traffic to this site, and the “playa” status he clearly longs for. CriticalMass, you’re the one who’s got your I.Q. hangin’ out for all to see… What a sad story this is.

Ahhh, Hermione… you try so hard, but you fall so short of your goal.
I didn’t say people aren’t thinking if they believe Will would put himself and his fam and Nikki and her fam through all this by confessing “an inappropriate physical relationship” just for financial gain and playa status.
I said “Do you really think Will would put himself (and his wife) and a candidate he was going to endorse (and her family) through all this crap if it wasn’t ‘all the way’ and it wasn’t going to be in the paper between now and the primary?”
In other words, it was addressed to those people who questioned whether it was sex.
Try to keep up, darlin.’

If Will stings Barrett or one of the other candidates in coming clean on what really happened, how much money changed hands, and that the “inappropriate physical relationship” was a back massage or some such, only THEN will he be redeemed.
In such a case, he would REALLY deserve all the traffic his site has gotten in the past couple of days.

Thank you, Will, for showing how Palin’s Pal is another typical lying Republican who will say and do anything to get elected. Then again, maybe we should all vote for her and hope she does what Palin did . . . resign half-way through her term.

After 2 days of producing ZERO evidence, now all Mr. Folks can say is the burden of proof is on Haley (whom he says he supports!) to disprove his accusation which was timed for maximum political effect to ruin a promising career. Anyone who believes (without evidence, mind you) that Haley would give the time of day to an ugly out-of-work political hack is living in fantasyland along with Will. Now we can see that Will is willing to do anything, including destroying an honorable family, to satisfy his self-described “insatiable lust for attention”. Anyone who believes a backstabbing blogger with a criminal record is either hopelessly naive or extremely gullible.

Again, the beauty of shutting the Hell up is lost. Take it from an old pro retired from the game, Sic, you gotta know when to be quiet and to learn the servant’s code. I worked for some politicians years ago with their own scandals. But, we kept our mouths shut. Who slept with who and who we might have even slept with stays with us old guys to our graves.
Sure, some people might think you are a hero for telling your story with Haley, who at the time you worked for. But, not for one moment do I want you to think I am one of them, even if you prove to be right beyond doubt.
You broke the old code. Right or wrong, it is something political hands adhere to. The people we worked for way back when trusted us. We kept that trust.
I like you, Sic, as you know, and most of time enjoy your point of view. But, brother, on this one, you are letting your ego cloud your judgment. Being at a candidate’s side in a campaign allows you see them at their weakest. You will learn their doubts and their fears and even have chances, if they are of the opposite sex, to embrace them. But, you keep your mouth shut about it.
I guess I am G. Gordan Liddy type of guy to your John Dean. Think about it a bit, and you might understand what the Hell I am talking about.

Ah, c’mon, she’s hot. I’d do her in a flash if I thought we could both get away with it. (OK, I’m single, and I’d need to be convinced there were extenuating circumstances with her husband.)
They got caught somehow, too bad. Elect her anyway! We’re all human, all born with sin. Let s/he who is without sin vote against Nikki in the election. I forgive her, her husband should, too; and so should y’all. I’m for Gov. Nikki Haley in 2010, and I REALLY don’t care who she had sex with, when, in what position, for how long, and with what outcome. If y’all want to talk in public about sexual relations, then talk about your own sex life — as if anyone else would find it interesting…
Listen, it’s time that American culture get over our naivete and puritanism about sexual relations. Yes, of course monogamous marriage is an ideal that we all strive for. Yes, of course infidelity is very wrong. But again, we are all sinners.
And there are far, FAR more important criteria on which to evaluate a public servant, who is looking after the public good, than his/her sexual morality.
Elect Haley for Governor!!!
By Incredulous May 26, 2010 at 11:57 am
CNN is calling Will Folks a liar:
While Pearson and Folks make allusions to the “rumor,” there is nothing in the correspondence proving Folks’ claim that he had an “inappropriate physical relationship” with Haley in 2007.
Pearson said the text messages are authentic but said he was only working with Folks to prevent “false rumors” from coming to light.
“This blogger’s overactive imagination has gone into overdrive,” Pearson said in an e-mail to CNN. “South Carolina politics is full of rumors and innuendo, and of course our campaign did everything in our power to prevent false rumors about Nikki from airing out in the media as they now have.
“Every campaign would have done exactly the same thing,” he added. “As always, Nikki is determined to keep this campaign focused on the people and issues that matter.”
By Jared May 26, 2010 at 12:24 pm
All right everyone… If this is how it’s going to be with clearing the air and letting honesty out of the bag, then I have to put my pride away and do the same. Over the last three years, William (little will) and I have been engaged in a love affair. I am planning on coming clean with my wife which I am sure will cost me my marriage. Nontheless, I think if we are all coming clean here, Haley should be honest as well. If I find out that William has been doing the both of us at the same time, I am going to slap his face and spat upon him. Good ridence you bastard!

By All for Honesty May 26, 2010 at 2:28 pm
I have supported Ms. Haley in other elections…. However, I have said this before and will continue to believe that you can be honest and be elected once, but if you are re-elected and become a permanent politician, you have no choice but become corrupt. Egos abound in the political arena, and eventually they all feel above the same morals and laws they preach to us regular citizens.
I was not supporting Ms. Haley for Governor simply because I do not feel she is qualified. After this last week, I am not sure if the Republican Party is offering a viable candidate, if so, it would have to be McMaster.
Here is the way I see it playing out. Haley aborts the mission and Barrett fires staff. I thought there would be a run-off, but now I am thinking McMaster will take it hands down….. Hopefully Vincent Sheheen and the Dems can win in November. We need something different in the Governor’s Office!

I can imagine how he feels right now. He goes to work and everyone’s looking at him like he was a fool. Whether it happened or not, you’re an asshole. By the way, I just got finished fucking your wife in the ass.
By Timetostop May 26, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Time to stop all the stupidity. This all boils down to Folks has a jackass past, but he is not obligated to stay silent about the rumored affair. The fact is, it could have happened and there are many things pointing to the fact that something may have happened. But until there is proof, Nikki’s supporters should stick with her. But to sit here and proclaim everyone is lying until it is shown to be true, may and will come back to bit you all in the ass. And the ones that say just because of the way it was exposed, you will vote for her even if it is true shows the world many in this state need to have their voter registration revoked.
Support her, but keep your eyes open, until it is proven false or true. All the other BS is stupid and if it comes out that it happened, many of you will lose face causing you to tuck tail and run.
The thing to do for everyone on all side it to keep your mouth shut, stay neutral, and wait and see how it plays out. Too many on both sides are letting their mouths overload their ass and that is plain out stupid!
By Timetostop May 26, 2010 at 3:00 pm
To Calhoun falls,
Sorry sir, but you are wrong and your comment is why politics are in the crapper. Granted you are right that way too often people use a trusted position to further their own agenda. But when it comes to those we are trusting to run our country or state, silence about known wrong doings is why most politicians feel they are above the law. For a person to know wrong was done, yet stay silent, they are as guilty as the one who did it. We need accountability in our elected officials and we no longer can stand for corruption to be hidden. Elected officials are not above the laws and rules the rest of the world are bound by, they are actually more accountable. And setting aside this matter till proof is given, we need many more folks who are willing to announce the corruption and lies committed by our officials. There is not and should not be a code of silence surrounding our elected people.

Caught, attempting to sneak back into the USA from his visiting his argentine mistress, Mark Sanford called a news conference to “admit” to his guilt of affairs. A “local female”… was so “concerned” with what details SANDFORD was going to release about his female companions that she arrived at the press conference “accompanied by her attorney” to “protect” her good name?
