By FITSNews || At the heart of our founding editor’s preemptive admission of an “inappropriate physical relationship” with Republican gubernatorial front-runner Nikki Haley on Monday was the contention that forces were targeting him and a news story about the affair was imminent.
Was this true, though?
Take a look for yourself at the chronology below, which features Wes Donehue (a supporter of Gresham Barrett), Jim Davenport (a reporter with the Associated Press), Tim Pearson (Nikki Haley’s campaign manager) and of course, Will Folks.
Rep. Haley herself even makes a brief appearance in the exchanges (we’ll have more from her soon), calling Folks the Monday after Davenport began making inquiries on the subject – ostensibly to find out what he was planning on saying. Sic responded to Haley with a text message half an hour later saying that he planned on “denying that I said anything to anyone” and “refusing to dignify politically-motivated rumors with a response.”
Gradually, though, you can see escalation of the situation that led to his decision to admit the affair.
We’ll let you decide for yourself whether Folks’ fears were well-founded, but the narrative does include several items that could become problematic for the Haley campaign – particularly as our founding editor is in the process of “lawyering up.” For example, in one text message Pearson encourages Folks to deny the affair rumors, later saying that if “we keep this under wraps and (Haley) is going to win.”
“Keep this under wraps?”
That’s curious wording – especially from one of individuals Haley is alleged to have told about her relationship with Folks.
Toward the end of the exchange, there’s also a reference to the fact that Person would be “unable to talk” about the rumor because he would be “in the car” with the Haleys (i.e. the husband still doesn’t know).
Also of interest in the exchanges? Barrett supporter Donehue references the fact that Haley has told multiple people about the affair – including her former campaign advisor B.J. Boling (who works for Barrett).
There’s also a curious remark to Pearson from our founding editor in which he says “Nikki knows about the picture from last year.”
Wait … picture?
All in all, it’s an interesting look at the “storm before the storm” – the exchanges that precipitated Sic Willie’s earth-moving admission Monday.
Finally, at a minimum, the exchanges do validate yet another one of our founding editor’s initial claims – that he was keeping the Haley campaign in the loop regarding the intelligence he was getting and calls from reporters that he was fielding about the affair.
Clearly, based on these messages, that was true.
Enjoy … (and we promise Nikki will play a more prominent role in future updates) …

Still, I am absolutely DISGUSTED and REPULSED at the depravity of our so called “elected officials” and members of their staffs and those who run campaigns. If this is the best we can do, it is no wonder this state is the ass-crack of the nation, poorly educated, no jobs, impoverished, and the only ones who are doing well are those in the Legislature.
I hope this incident, however it plays out, riles up South Carolina residents to clear out government out of self-serving, corrupt, unaccountable scum. We must establish TERM LIMITS for all S.C. Constitutional Officers and Legislators.

Good grief, fellas. If you know something is going to be scandalous why in the Hell do you talk about it in emails and text messages? I might be an ole country boy, but even I know when not to talk about things and how to be humble.
Think on it Sic, man if you just would have not corresponded and then said to some reporter something self deprecating, like, “have you seen Nikki Haley? You see me? You gotta be crazy to think a woman like that would mess around on her husband with a guy like me. This is silly.”
That defense has bailed out us ugly guys after messing around with good looking women since the beginning of time.
As for the Haley campaign, they are dumb as well. Why even correspond about this? Why comment? If I was running that camp, I would have not have had a press conference. I would have ignored you and the Free Times. Again, that takes humility to admit. Most people did not know who you and the Free Times were until this story broke. The beauty of shutting the hell up was lost.
You both played it wrong. You and the Haley camp should have never discussed it in emails and texts and you both should have laughed it off.
But, again, that takes humility and the ability to make fun of oneself. That ain’t easy. But, is sure prevents messes like this.

I truly feel that Nikki is the best candidate for governor. She is leading the polls despite the fact tbat sbe is not a “good ole boy” and that is driving the political force in SC crazy.
I do not care if she did or did not sleep with Will. What I do care about is what she can do for our state. We are in very troubled times. Can she lead us? Can she make the tough decisions and unite our legislature? That should be what we are focusing on.
Unfortunately, because she is a political outsider, I fear that we will have another 4 years of the republican establishment doing everything in its power to undermine her.
I am so sick of the politics in South Carolina (and in the US for that matter). The American people are just fed up and are numb to all the mudslinging.
I think Nikki is the best of the options available. I wish her well.

Come on R, this is hardly limited to South Carolina. How many sitting governors have gone over the cliff for the same issue (or something worse) in the last 10 years? Here’s the ones I can remember:
Illinois – Blagojevich, bribery, 2009 (impeached)
North Carolina – Easley, still under investigation for abuse of office in 2008
New Jersey – McGreevey, homosexual affair, 2007 (resigned)
Illinois – Ryan, illegal sale of gov’t contracts, 2006 (got 6 years in jail)
Alabama – Siegelman, bribery, 2006 (got 7 years in jail)
Ohio – Taft, ethics violations, 2005 (plead no contest, fined $4,000, approval dropped to 6%)
Connecticut – Rowland, fraud 2004 (resigned, got 10 months in jail)
Louisiana – Edwards, extortion, 2000 (got 10 years in jail)
If we throw in the big splash sex scandals for elected officials, I could list them forever.
The question at hand is does sex matter and in this case I think it does. If the allegations are true, I do not think Haley has the character we’re looking for.
God only knows where we will find a capable man or woman of character willing to put up with this abuse to run for office. We’ve had less than capable men with character (Jimmy Carter), we’ve had highly capable men with little character (Bill Clinton). Where do we find that rare mix of capability and character?
By Ratfishtim May 26, 2010 at 5:32 am
If this is more of the tip of the iceberg, Haley should gracefully bow out now. Her campaign manager never says something like “it’s not true, there’s nothing to the rumors of the affair,” and so on.
Can’t wait for the picture.
Maybe Haley can continue to get advice from Palin on how to lie and get away with it.

Wes Donahue is a depraved individual that works for Karen Floyd, Converse Chellis, Warren Tompkins, Joe Wilson and others that need nasty work done against but don’t want their own hands dirtied. He is at the center of most every major slime going on in SC during this election.
People in the know realize this, and these weak, ego driven political types revere him because they are desperate to keep power and his immoral, sociopathic style suits them.
I hope they all rot in hell, and I will never vote for anyone that is paying Wes for work.

At some unknown time before May 13th you put out a bunch of fantasy bullshit, stir folks up about your fictional stories, solicit responses and then (starting May 13th) cherry pick certain emails out-of-context to present a false impression to folks. Will, you are SUCH AN AMATEUR. You’re going to have to do much better than this. I’d strongly recommend that nobody send you an email, text you or talk with you on the phone; that would simply give you more words to take out of context.

“I hope this incident, however it plays out, riles up South Carolina residents to clear out government out of self-serving, corrupt, unaccountable scum.”
Not a chance. I love SC and its people, as people, but politically they are serfs, peasants who accept the powers-that-be as if they were divinely ordained and live on a higher plane. Even in public contentions that are based on technical matters that have tangible and rational evidence for yea or nay, South Carolinians fight it out by competing influence, who has the greater political patron. SC doesn’t need to be riled up, it needs a Renaissance, an Enlightenment. Fat chance.

Lost in this tragic controversy is a Letter to the Editor where Converse Chellis changed his story again in order to explain why a high salaried state employee was in Spartanburg campaigning for him. Converse I am not sure calling members of the media liars is a winning strategy. When you are forced to defend slimy staff in the media it may be time to cut your loses and clean house.

Here are the questions that still need to be answered in another blog post:
1. Was a condom involved?
2. Would have the use of a condom during the “inappropriate relationship” possibly prevented disease?
3. Would either individual be at risk for contracting HPV due to this “improper relationship”?
4. Would the use of a condom result in irritation of the lips – oral or genital? Please specify?

I don’t know Donehue at all, just the schlock he schleps on the internet. I have formed my opinion. He’s a scumbag. As well as the rest of you tards. THIS, all of THIS is why people hate politicians. It can never be about the people that elect representatives to help our state and our country be the best they can be.
It’s about your little circles, and your little gossip, and always trying to one-up the person that’s pulling ahead. Tell me now that a person’s character doesn’t interfere in their ability to serve. All of you guys need to get into the nearest church and think about your lives and what you’re really doing.
All of this is disgusting and truly makes me sick and embarrassed for what I consider the greatest state in the union. If I wasn’t a true conservative I don’t know what I’d do. Because that would mean that I wouldn’t have faith in my fellow Americans being able to turn all this sh*t around.

Sic Willie must mean “won’t shut the fuck up” when he says “will have nothing else to say.”
At first, I thought no biggie and did not fault you for coming forward. The more I pay attention, though, the more I wonder if you’re on Barrett’s payroll. Barrett is a piece of shit and you’re his bitch now. I hope you’re happy. You’re handing the elections to your biggest advertiser, McMastah (not Barrett if that is your goal). I’m guessing that you’re completely full of shit at this point since you claimed to be against him.
Shut the fuck up already and save some face. If what you’re saying is true, it will come out. Let it come out on its own and stop stirring the pot. It makes you look complicit in the plot to destroy a viable candidate.
Her campaign is attacking you and it isn’t right if you’re telling the truth, but you’re a fucking moron if you expected something different. Quit being a fucking cry baby about it and take your medicine since you decided to “preemptively” break the story. If you are who you say you are and do actually have the beliefs you claim to have, you’ll pull on your big-boy panties and suck it the fuck up. No one likes a tattle-tale and no one likes a sniveling cry baby.
If you’re doing this to further the Barrett campaign or the McMastah campaign, I ask that you go play in I-26 rush hour traffic while getting pounded in the doo-doo hole with a lawn dart.

After watching the embarrassing behavior of those like Joe Wilson, Mark Sanford, Lindsey Graham, and Jim Deminted over the past several years, there is no way in hell I will vote for ANY republican. They can ALL kiss my ass! I’m voting Democrat, and a whole lot of folks I’ve talked with plan on doing same thing. These teabaggers are so misinformed and plain stupid it’s not even comical anymore.

Yes yes yes, I know – none of us is perfect. Man/woman sins. But I a) don’t go around pretending I am perfect as a pretext to hold public office and b) use my power to hound, discriminate against and condemn others who I don’t think God would like.

Will,
I am not the smartest guy, however, I am honest so let me tell you how this is going to play out for you. It is going to play out very badly. The chips are falling for sure! Your career is over whether it is true or not. No one will hire you in the future because you can’t be trusted and you are a liability. Also, your actions and the way you have handled this matter are not honorable and really demonstrates to everyone your true colors. You are half a man and a weasel looking to either make up a story for profit/fame or milk a story monetarily for all that it is worth. Your actions pertaining to this so called “inappropriate physical conduct” (whatever the hell that is) has permanently damaged and tarnished any positive reputation you previously possessed. Everything you have said, wrote about, and supposedly believed in on this website in the past has been contradicted by your recent actions in regards to this matter. Who the hell wants to read your shit anymore? No one knows what to believe anymore and at this point what does it matter. Something stinks to high heaven about the way you have handled this matter. You have produced no real evidence and your timing right before the primary is an indication of foul play and disingenuous intentions. Even if your story is credible, as I stated before, your character and actions will turn the majority of your readers away from your website in the future. This is ugly politics and is obviously monetarily motivated. No doubt! That being said, enjoy the short ride because after the bus stops, you will be dumped to the curve along with this website. Any respect for your name or recent fame will fade quickly from the public’s mind and the readers on your website. Ultimately, you have achieved being in the negative spotlight and you will be forever regarded as a scumbag. Good luck in your future endeavors and have a nice day.

If there was an affair, I am sure that it is over and, quite possibly, that her husband already knew and had forgiven her. If that is the case, we should all be done with this!
By joeohio May 26, 2010 at 9:04 am
How smart do you have to be to not put incriminating stuff in emails and text messages? It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people are. Even these snippets show how small-timey the Haley campaign is. The most telling comment of all from her campaign manager:

By Rick Davis May 26, 2010 at 9:08 am
Wow. So it’s not that your “honourable” boss is reluctant to release any information corroborating his increasingly dubious claim, after all.
The suggestion that electronic evidence substantiating his accusation of affair exists and will be released soon is followed up with the case-closing bombshell of…a rather current, post-revelation string of third-party nonsense between the previously-unknown Folks and an still-currently-unknown handful of reporters and operatives of various campaigns…really, this is the best that can be done? All this proves is that there were at least three people who knew about Folks’ impending admission prior to its taking place.
In fact, the timing and content of the clearly-redacted string of messages only substantiates that your boss was the one instigating, while feigning ignorance, everything! He spread the rumours, he followed up on them, and he threw others’ names into the mix to create even more drama.
I don’t know if he was trying to get paid or just satisfying a fantasy of his by attempting to create in other men’s minds the perception that he slept with Haley (aside: and based on previous sexually-fantastic and misogynistic comments published on this site and elsewhere in the past involving your editor and Haley or other attractive-above-average women that have been drudged up by reporters doing actual *investigation* of this story, the motives for your boss’ invention of this story are becoming more tangible), but it’s really quite clear that he has been the instigator of this entire scandal. That these texts are meant as “evidence” of foul play (along with your ominous reference to “THE PICTURE” of your boss between Haley and former Gov. Sanford) only “substantiates” the increasingly-popular view of your Folks’ accusations as 100% grade-A political Bull Shit. We The People are not thinking “OMG WOW IT MUST BE TRUE” when you offer as evidence mud-slinging, contradictory texts towards members of the press and a photo that CLEARLY shows a casual and not even particularly valued relationship on the part of your boss in relation to Ms Haley; we’re thinking more like “Wow, this guy really *is* nothing but a pathetic, tortured liar after all.”
I don’t really see any foul play, you know…my perception, at this point, is that your boss, plagued by self-oblivious impressions of himself as a man of importance and value (and therefore a man of great desirability, unfortunate physical appearance beside), involved others in his sexual fantasies by informing them of an “affair” with Ms Haley in an effort to shore up his masculine bonafides, and as all panicked self-delusional maniacs do, held on to his accusation for dear life when, in the heat of the political season, his fantasy snowballed into a public scandal.
I think any of us with a slightly-inquisitive mind knew *something* was up when Folks tried to make us believe that he went public to protect his own marriage…as though his wife would have been devastated with the news that he slept with a woman before they were even married. I think ALL of us who are not 1) the obsequious political devotees of an opponent of Ms Haley’s (or her party or politics in general); 2) family members/devotees of Folks (wait, isn’t that redundant); or 3) delusionally paranoid toward all political figures; have, at this point, given up on any possibility of Folks’ accusations being true (and at this point, I’ve realised that Folks is likely the only blogger on this site, and to further his delusions of importance and value, refers to himself in the third-person to give the impression of underlings in his employ).
But I guess you’re winning, aren’t you? Nobody knew you on Sunday, and now you’re the centre of the biggest political scandal current to SC politics.
Tip: go back to keeping your sleazy, borderline-criminally-harassing sexual fantasies with conservative women (like this one, published on this site on 31 Mar 09: “Oh alright we’ll admit it, Ashley Herzog could be doing pretty much anything and it would still be hot. Like getting caught in flagrante delicto with our founding editor, for example.”) out of the public sphere. Your career, I’m guessing, was already dead, but talk about nailing up your own coffin…

Nikki still has the best message, and she is the only candidate not a part of the good ‘ol boy system. Nikki has proven over and over that she has the courage and the perseverance to get things done in the House.
Why does anyone care about this “scandal”? Even if it’s true, how many male politicians are squirming right now because they are guilty of adultery? If this is true, then it obviously didn’t keep Nikki from doing her job for SC. AND she hasn’t said she was on the Appalchian trail or talked about hooking up with her soulmate.
I don’t care what she does in her personal life, as long as it isn’t illegal, as long as she continues to get the job done. She’s not only the best choice but also the only one with an unwavering political and philisophical history.

The longer you wait and give little bits of info at a time, the worse you look. Haley needs to just switch parties at this point because lying about an affair is what we all learned from Bill Clinton, not Ronald Reagan. Despite your feelings for her, the fact that she is trying to pass herself off as a morally upstanding Christian is an insult to Republicans and to South Carolinia and to God. If you want the chips to fall, ya gotta give us proof.

Catherine: It is not about the “affair.” It is about being honest. Something most elected officals have a difficult time with. If she is lying then she is no better than the rest. Even if elected, which I don’t think is going to happen, she would be an inaffective leader going forward because of this. She needs to do the right thing and drop out now. The next thing you know we are going to be hearing that she was one of those that the Luv Gov “crossed the line” with. I hope not, but you never know.
The bottom line is that if she doesn’t drop out, the next Gov of SC is going to be Vince. There will be a mass exit of republican voters who are tired of the fussing and fighting in the SC republican party. Count me as one.

And apparently Ashley Herzog didn’t appreciate Will’s attentions on here (http://www.redstate.com/athensrunaway/2010/05/25/the-sleazy-scummy-scandal-smearing-of-nikki-haley/):
“Folks has… a bad attitude towards women. And that’s understating it. To give an example, he stalked a close personal friend of mine, Ashley Herzog, creeping on her Flickr picture and making lewd blog entries about her, in which he talked about how Herzog, whom he described as a “20-something blonde Republicans [wearing] green eye shadow, black lace tops, pink dirty nothings and too much blush” made him “pull wood.”
Creeping on her again, Folks wrote about her “toying seductively with her ice water. Which according to a quick check of our dirty imaginations is… yup, even hotter.”
Fitts went on to imagine having sex with the object of his perverted imagination, my closest friend ever..”

This is the deal: There are names in here. If these messages are “made-up,” as some are claiming, then the people specifically mentioned by NAME will raise holy hell, b/c it makes them look bad. Wouldn’t you raise hell?
I agree that FITS has not made its case and they’re playing an aggravating game of footsie that might mean they have no solid case.
But they haven’t yet done anything to be totally dismissed, either.
A lot of people are forgetting that if Folks merely wanted to slime Haley, he would not say he was the one in the affair with her. He would say it was someone else. That actually would have given him an extra layer of protection against a libel/slander suit, b/c he could have simply said he did not know the rumor to be false. Against a public figure, that’s enough.

Ace of Spades:
Folks: “There will be a very aggressive effort mounted to obtain all of the data that will corroborate what I’ve said.”
There will be (future tense; indicates intention, not existing fact) a very aggressive effort mounted (“effort” comes pre-packaged with the possibility of failure) to obtain (to– future tense again; and obtain — he doesn’t have them now) all of the data (all of it? Wouldn’t one untoward email be enough?) that will (future tense) corroborate what I’ve said.
See what I’m getting at? The way he’s saying this, he’s setting it up so it seems like there is a real chance of failure of proving this so if he fails, he can say, “Well, I tried, but I couldn’t get the data together. But I’m telling the truth.”
But I don’t understand how someone who had any sort of relationship with someone would not have some incriminating records easily at hand. I mean — can’t you just dig up your old emails? Again — one naughty one would suffice. One flirty one wouldn’t prove an affair, but it would make the allegation more plausible.
Am I missing something? How is it so difficult for the very-capable, awesome Will Folks to get the sort of emails that he’d naturally have bunches of?
Why does he need a team to dig into his own awesome pipe-layin’ past? Are there so many names in his little black book?
Why is this merely an “effort” and not an already-achieved fact? Why is he speaking of things that will happen, rather than those that already have?
It just seems that all of this has excuses for failure built into it.
Why the hell would he need excuses?
He’s claiming this happened in 2005, not 1905. What the hell is with the archeological dig here?
Does he have the fucking emails as a previous statement said or is it that he “will” have them after an “aggressive effort” is made to collect “all of the data”?”

NOT A DAMN THING.
They certainly have a good bit of innuendo and speculation. For all I know, in South Carolina politics this gossip might be planted (recall McCain and the black baby). Aside from the gossip, there is nothing else.

Just a little background here on the Ace of Spades.
The Ace has a nationally known website that is a favorite of very conservative people.
Several years ago, The Ace interviewed for a job with some of the Sanfraudians. He posted a number of comments asking other posters whether or not he should take the position. The position was with the SC Club for Growth, the Republican Party or some affiliated SC political organization.
From what I remember, he did not take the job or it was offered to someone else.
My point is, I would bet money it is those people who are feeding this anti-Folks info to him now….he is basically being the mouthpiece for the Sanfraudians backing Haley.
Dont know anymore about this but I did pay attention back then!

By Columbia Attorney May 26, 2010 at 11:17 am
For starters, this isn’t proof of the alleged affair at all. These text messages only prove that Mr. Folks told several people that he was having a relationship with Mrs. Haley.
Being an attorney, I could strike these messages down in a heartbeat. Not one of these messages contain incriminating evidence linking Mrs. Haley to Mr. Folks. If this is the *damning* evidence he has available to him, I suggest that Mrs. Haley retain an attorney and file an injunction against Mr. Folks and this site.

By Brian May 26, 2010 at 11:24 am
From the original Post where Will makes his Claims:
“Watching all of this unfold, I have become convinced that the gradual release of this information is deliberately designed to advance this story in the press while simultaneously forcing either evasive answers or denials on my part or on Nikki’s part.
I refuse to play that game. I refuse to have someone hold the political equivalent of a switch-blade in front of my face and just sit there and watch as they cut me to pieces.”
Isn’t this exactly what you are doing? You also indicated in that post that you wouldn’t speak about it anymore, yet you have continued to add to the story bit by bit over the last few days.
If you got the evidence, throw it out there. You are doing exactly what you said you wouldn’t participate in.
The stuff you have shown so far doesn’t prove you had what you claim you had with Haley, it only shows that someone was about to publish a story accusing you of doing this.
By T Bone May 26, 2010 at 11:27 am

My phone allows you to type an SMS (text) message that contains more than 160 characters. When you send the message, it breaks it up into individual SMS messages and sends them all at once. The recipient receives multiple messages simultaneously. It is kind of annoying because the last part of the message appears first in some instances and if you don’t realize there is a first part to it, it can be confusing.

I do not agree with WIll’s tactics, I think he should be arrested and left in a straight jacket for 30 days since he didn’t serve a day in jail the last time he beat the hell out of a woman. I don’t approve of the way he uses the State of South Carolina for his personal toliet paper. I think he needs instutionlized therapy. I think women should stay the hell away from him if they value their lives.
But, I can say, with most certainity, that NIkki Haley is not the woman we want in the Governor’s Mansion. To make a long story, she is a DITZ and so is her staff. She has a girl answering her telephone claiming to have a Law degree but she can’t even answer basic questions.
Nikki LIED and she is using the Good Ole Boys are after her excuse, when that just isn’t true. I have to agree with them though, South Carolina is not ready for a woman Governor. When we can find one who doesn’t sleep with every Tom, Dick and Harry and tell the truth about it, then elect her. WIll Folks is not the only one.
NIKKI HALEY, YOU LIE!

It sounds to me like the only cover up is the scheme that you guys have to try to sink Haley and make a name for yourselves.

By PICURN May 26, 2010 at 11:43 am
I believe it, and I have from the start. No doubt about the fact that Folks has a questionable past, and not a whole lot of supporters, it seems. But from the beginning it seemed to me that Haley has a whole lot more to lose by this story being true than Folks has to gain. Hence, her vehement denial.
I’m no lawyer, but I’m fairly certain one can’t go around publishing texts that name names without repercussions. I haven’t heard of any lawsuits being filed.
I also believe Folks has the goods and will produce them. Could dribbling out these texts possibly be giving Haley a chance to own up before the really damning stuff comes out? I doubt he wants to punish his own family any more either.
Say what you want, but I will never be convinced that a person can be corrupt personally but pristine professionally. It is not two separate things. I don’t care if you’re Mark Sanford or Bill Clinton. Haley doesn’t deserve the honor of being on the ballot if this is true.
My Dad taught me the truth ALWAYS comes out. It may not be immediate, but it always does. I believe him, and I believe Folks in this case.

For those of you convinced the messages are fake, are you saying Haley’s CAMPAIGN MANAGER is now in on the deception? Why? Why would he call “fake” text messages that possibly damage his candidate real?
I agree the message don’t prove anything, affair-wise, but it’s quite a charge to assume that the FITS people just sat down and fabricated a text string. What in their history suggests they would do that anyway? Can someone tell me?

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.”

If Nikki Haley could look her husband in the eyes after having sex with another man and pretend to be the loving faithful wife, She can decieve the voters as well. Nikki denied this affair and if it proven(I think it will be), then she will have lied to us. This reminds me of Clinton’s big lie. “I did not have sex with that woman”.
Mark Sanford had the guts to acknowledge his affair and ask for forgiveness and most of you still crucified him. Why should Nikki Haley get a free pass? If she lied about this so adamantly and convincingly, then she is a dangerous choice for governor.
What else HAS she lied about? What else WILL she lie about? Who else WILL she sleep with? Who else HAS she slept with? Will she go hiking while in the governor’s seat?
I’ve never liked her big government legislation and her lame excuses afterward. It is my opinion that she is a climber and will say and do whatever it takes to get ahead.

You didn’t include things from the original subject line such as “RE:” or “FW:”. Including that would have made clear that you are pulling out and isolating just a portion of each of the actual email message. Extracting selected verbage and not showing ALL of the remaining portions of each of the particular email items is a typical way to mislead folks. You need to show things in context!

When people said of Clinton, it is just sex and it is his personal life…. uh, NO! The way a person conducts his/her personal life is obviously related to their business/political life. Shady is as shady does…. If you are a pig and would cheat on your spouse, you’d screw the people who voted for you, too….without batting an eye! I do not know whose character in this saga is more deplorable, but they all are a bunch of scumbags.

If you people hate Will so much, then stop posting and get on with your lives. Obviously you are concerned this may be true or you wouldn’t be staying up to date with FITS news.
No matter what you might think of Will, I have more respect for someone who tells the truth than one who lies to gain public office. I have no idea who is telling the truth, but whoever it is will be the winner in the long run.
And, all of you people claiming Will is gay are just trying to divert everyone’s attention from the main issue: Who is telling the truth? I don’t think Will would argue that he has had a sordid past, but that is not the issue here. The issue, people, is that there is a serious allegation and some limited corroborating evidence that a candidate for Governor may have not only cheated on her husband, but believes she can lie her way out of it because of Will’s bad boy reputation. It is like the former prostitute who can’t prove she was raped, because the prosecution attacks her character and convinces the jury that anyone who might have had paid sex would also invite rape.
People make mistakes and they usually come back to haunt you. Everyone has skeletons, and I would bet most of you casting stones at Will have as many as he does. Put away your venom and wait on the truth. Wishing it away is not going to change the facts.
Just remember, Will has never claimed to be more than he is to anyone. It is those who have secret lives and claim to be Christians who are the ones we all need to fear.
Will, put the proof out there and let the chips fall, as was your original intention.
God bless you and your family. I hope this is a wakeup call for you and that your beautiful family survives the fall out.
Stay strong and speak the truth, Will. Truth is your best defense!

@mypitts
“Isn’t Will married with children? Apparently someone will sleep with him.”
-absolutely valid point. I’m not familiar with the self-esteem of the ladies of South Carolina’s trailer parks. Didn’t he beat her? And she’s still with him? So she must be a keeper.
It’s possible Nikki Haley did too. When Indian chicks grow up in the South they have to assimilate and what not. Maybe the first guy who gave her attention was a bald mental patient with the mug of a herpetic lesion, and that’s been her type ever since. Who knows…
By Max May 26, 2010 at 12:42 pm
sounds like Pearson believed that Folks was trying to help them stop FALSE rumors.
these texts actually confirm that Folks was the source of the leaks and stories and played the reporters and the Haley camp against each other. In doing so, he’s driven traffic to his site and created his own little 15 minutes of fame.
real journalists would cut Folks off completely until he can provide hard, undeniable evidence.
By mypitts2 May 26, 2010 at 12:43 pm
Maybe the first guy who gave her attention was a bald mental patient with the mug of a herpetic lesion,
Dog Eat Dog: There’s certainly no accounting for taste. I’m reminded of that Joe Jackson song, “Is she really going out with him.”
I don’t know if Folks’ wife is the same one he pled guilty to assaulting. I first became aware of him through his Haley claim.
On that score: If he has something legitimate proving an affair, he should show his hand. I don’t see why he’d take these darts otherwise.
By oldhippie May 26, 2010 at 12:43 pm

So Haley’s campaign first said he was a blogger paid to make this claim. Now, they confirm collusion via the text messages here. They confirmed the veracity of this post. So now we have the first few cracks in their defense. They knew what was happening and have admitted as much.
Doesn’t that begin to make you wonder. How far back are they going to have to track when the next round of emails com out? They have already acknowledged in depth communication with Will leading up to this…most likely because they knew this to be true.
By Tom May 26, 2010 at 12:55 pm
For those of you who think THESE TEXT MESSAGES ARE FABRICATED, the Haley camp has already confirmed THEY ARE REAL. Now, judge for yourself. The Haley people are saying that it was simply a conversation about “false rumors”. Really? Does the desperation sound like that? If it’s about False rumors, why doesn’y that term or anything like it EVER come up!? Why not a conversation about Folks having a press conference denying it and adding to Palin’s “gotcha journalism” argument!? Haley got fucked, is fucked, and has told people about it herself.
The Palins are now drudging up Levi again, trying to prepare for discreditation for he said more than once that he has info on Sarah that he hasn’t shared yet.

“I don’t see why he’d take these darts otherwise.”
–a couple of observations…
-if drags it out, drags it out, drags it out, closer and closer to the election day…he might be able to prevent Haley from getting the 40% she needs on June 8th to avoid a runoff election. that benefits McMasters. would McMasters have an easier time in a runoff? i don’t know.
-also, there’s this issue about hits to folks’ webpage. but the problem is, once the big reveal comes through (assuming it ever does), i for one will go out of my to avoid fitznews.com, and i’m sure there are plenty of folks who are never going to take anything this website says seriously ever again. so this damages fits and will fox either way. i don’t think driving web traffic to your site is a motivation.
to be honest, i’m getting pretty bored with all of this. i think i’m going to mosey on out of here and just wait ’til the big news hits the major website. fitsnews is boring me to tears….

The fact is if these messages were simply made up, the lawyers would have been all over it and the page wouldn’t have lasted even the few hours it has.
What’s fascinating is not what likely went down – that’s as old as the hills – it’s watching professional political handlers manufacturing a cover-up.

I find it hard to believe that people can’t believe that a married woman would sleep around, or vice versa. People fuck. It’s a constant. And politicians fuck anything they can. People working in politics use the power of politicians’ offices to get laid. These people who still think love exists amongst the leaders we elect to serve are blind, ignorant, stupid, and delusional. That’s the way it has been since time immemorial, and that’s the way it always will be. The only people who have found a way to influence other people to believe what they want and then fuck them because of that better than politicians are the Baptists.

I used to know you years ago. You were a year ahead of me at Hammond. I always remembered you as kind of reserved and laid back. I guess that has certainly has changed.
Will, I’m curious. You say you HAD to come out with this information and an admission because you were pressured to by the media, etc. I’m not buying that….unless they had something else on you. For future reference, here’s how you should have handled this:
You know the story is going to break, so you sit down with your wife and discuss the matter in private and handle it as a family in private. You let the story break and have no comment. Haley denies everything and has no comment. If someone else has proof and that comes out in the press later, you still have no comment.
The only thing you HAD to do Will was sit down with your wife and have a talk. So don’t give us this garbage about doing it for your family. The best thing you could have done for your family was sit down and discuss it in private. The worst thing you could have done for your family was to air this out on your blog.

Why is everyone attacking Will? Wesley Donahue admitted the text messages are accurate.
COLUMBIA — Wesley Donehue, a Columbia political strategist, said he will not contest the validity of text messages between himself and political blogger Will Folks that appear to refer to an inappropriate relationship between Folks and GOP gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley.
A text message from Donehue to Folks dated 3:30 p.m. May 21 said: “If you’re calling about Haley, don’t. If I wanted her gone, I would have already done it.”
A response a minute later from Folks says: “Dude I am just trying to act in a way that will protect my family.”
This is followed by a 3:36 p.m. message from Donehue: “Your family and Nikkis kids are the ONLY reason I haven’t acted. It sure as (expletive) ain’t the threats.”
Donehue said he had no further comment, including whether or not he had sought an affidavit, as mentioned in text messages exchanged between Folks and Tim Pearson, Haley’s campaign manager.

Obama is probably doing it to someone besides the American tax payers. We all know Democrats have no values & when Republicans do something like this it is a bigger story because they claim to represent family values, so maybe they should be like Democrats & just go against anything good & of value.
By Max May 26, 2010 at 1:53 pm
The texts messages prove only one thing: The Haley camp believed that Folks was trying to help them stop FALSE rumors coming from the Barrett camp and the press. The Haley camp didn’t realize until it was too late that Folks was behind the rumor and the leak the whole time.
The fact that he is doing this drip-drip-drip after saying he wouldn’t speak anymore proves that this was a plan to drive traffic to his site.
Present evidence of the affair immediately or retract. simple as that.

Well, well, well!
The SCGOP whose new motto should be “We Eat Our Own” has struck again. You have high ranking political operative whose work has been cited in leading towards victory for several high profile SC Republicans including Joe Wilson and Jim Demint OPENLY BRAGGING on May 14th at 1150AM “I’ve already helped bust up one family.”
Yes, Mr. Donehue I would not be proud of that fact. As a matter of opinion, I find it very distasteful, disrespectful and self serving. If these are the levels you would stoop to to get a candidate elected the SCGOP should be ASHAMED to associate with you. This is disgusting! Jim Demint, Joe Wilson and every other candidate that stands for decency needs to distance themselves from you immediately. At the end of the day, the true losing Party will be the SCGOP.
If you support Joe, Jim, or Gresham you need to email them and express your frustrations with Mr. Donehue’s actions. Openly bragging about destroying families goes against the “Family Values” Principle the GOP claims to support.
The SCGOP should terminate their relationship with Mr. Donehue as well.

“If it’s about False rumors, why doesn’t that term or anything like it EVER come up!?”
Tom: It’s curious that neither of the people texting back and forth with Will Folks seem to question the rumor or tries to get in Folks’ face about it. Neither Pearson nor Donehue calls “bull” like the people on this site who are so confident in Haley’s innocence.
That doesn’t mean anything happened, but it’s striking. Donehue in fact, clearly accepts Folks’ tale that there was sex.

ReformSC is barred from running their pro-Haley ads. They and the other Sanford (now Haley) groups (SCRG, Club for Growth, etc) are frustrated. She needs media attention! How can they get their girl elected?? Enter self-described media genius Will Folks. They concoct a scheme with the Haley campaign: Will claims to have had an affair with Haley. She adamantly denies it. He claims to have proof, but never provides it.
No one believes him, Haley’s press is sympathetic, and she completely dominates the news for the last several weeks before the primary. SC Republicans rally around the embattled candidate and she wins the primary outright, avoiding a runoff.
There’s no downside for Will. He is already pretty much disliked by everyone. In the fetid swamp that is SC politics, it will be duly and admiringly noted that he knows how to get things done. All of his paid contracts are under the table and unacknowledged anyway, so he’ll continue to get plenty of work in SC. His blog gets national exposure; ReformSC, Club for Growth, SCRG, et al combine their resources to give him a six or seven figure payoff. After all they’ve been spending many millions for eight years trying to push their agenda – what’s a million or so more?

By Who's bluffing? May 26, 2010 at 3:14 pm
This is a high stakes poker game if I’ve ever seen one! Here’s the latest from Pearson (ok, Jon Lerner)
Nowhere in the texts, however, is an explicit statement that an affair took place. And there are no alleged text messages from Haley.
Pearson told Politico that the alleged texts reflect the fact that Folks’ “overactive imagination has gone into overdrive.”
“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,” Pearson said.
At stake: GOP primary race or Will’s manhood. Let’s see who has bigger balls Nikki/Lerner or Will. Who will fold first? Must admit, I thought Nikki until I read the latest from her.

Now James, I can do what Will Folks did with his “email selection” (i.e., cherry pick just certain emails and certain parts of emails – completely out of context). I’ll first select certain words from your entry (selected words shown in capital letters):
THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO have a field day with this. Watch for all of the Democrat national cable shows to ATTACK the tea party, Palin, Haley, and THE STATE OF S.C. with a vengence. THIS one thing COULD EASILY DESTROY the credibility of THE ENTIRE tea PARTY IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION. The Haley campaign has admitted that these emails are authentic. THIS picture that exists COULD BE THE CLOSING NAIL IN THE COFFIN. This is going to get real ugly on a national scale, WATCH AND SEE.
Next I’ll show only the selected words and not the surrounding words that give context and provide meaning:
THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO ATTACK THE STATE OF S.C. THIS COULD EASILY DESTROY THE ENTIRE PARTY IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION. THIS COULD BE THE CLOSING NAIL IN THE COFFIN, WATCH AND SEE.
Do you think, by not providing context, I accurated represented what James’ entry said in its entirety? Of course I didn’t. And neither did Will Folks as anyone with half a brain could figure out. Folks, you’ve got to think with clarity to see what’s really going on here – things are being misrepresented purposefully (and, in my opinion, with malice).

I do find it interesting that Dick Cheney has came out to endorse Barrett… McMaster endorsed McCain in 2008… I have no idea why Huck is backing Bauer… and of course, Mitt and Palin are behind Nikki…
“”"”"
McMaster has been endorsed by U.S. Senator John McCain. Bauer is backed by Fox News host and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and Haley got the nod from former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

“So, still no PROOF of anything but 3 men discussing. Keep “it” under wraps???? THE RUMOR not any so called affair. Get a grip people. The only one who says they had a “relationship” is the guy from Barrett’s campaign. DUH?”
And the guy from Barrett’s is almost certainly referencing the fantasy story Will Folks would have put out to him in an earlier email (or phone call or discussion in person). And of course Folks doen’t show that email or explain that. This is all so incredibly BOGUS!

But hey, at least you weren’t accused by someone else of having sex before you were married… which seem the initial goal to get out in front of that news release. And to help Haley, who you’ve been saying had sex with you while she was married, so you can help her by making her look bad.

If there is nothing to it, if it’s all a lie designed to damage Haley’s marriage and career, why on earth hasn’t she threatened to sue for libel and defamation?
She’s a public figure, so the bar is set a little lower to show standing, but this seems to be clear cut.
What innocent person in their right mind wouldn’t unleash the lawyers on someone attacking their marriage and career with vicious lies? I know I would, and so would you.
The fact that she hasn’t taken legal action should be a source of concern for her supporters. She is either getting criminally bad advice from her people, or there is more to this than the public is being told.

Here is how its going to play out. Folks has given fair warning with this post. He, in my opinion, is trying to be a gentleman, but wasn’t going to let someone else co-opt the story. He wanted to break it himself, so at least he (and I’m thinking he was hoping SHE) would control it. But she denied it, leaving him totally exposed. He ALSO has a family, although wasn’t married like she was, and ALSO has a lot to lose. She is thinking this through, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Folks and Nikki are now talking strategy, because she knows if she continues to deny, Folks will have no other option but to release the REALLY damaging stuff on her. She knows this. Tomorrow the other shoe is going to drop. It will go something like this: “Mrs. Haley wished to apologize to the voters of the great state of S. Carolina for her embarrassing inappropriate relationship that she indeed had with Mr. Folks. She asks for privacy for her and her family as they come to terms with this very painful revelation. Mrs. Haley does not excuse her behavior and acknowledges that she was deceptive to her family and the people of S Carolina, but feels that this is a private family matter and should not be played out publicly.” Wait for it.

This is just great fun– watching all the TeaBagger lemmings in denial, even after the Haley campaign and that Barrett operative slug (what’s-his-name) verified that the emails are real. The hypocrisy of the Glenn-Beck-gobbling camp, the majority of whom were calling for Bill Clinton’s head (no pun intended) back in the 90′s (including Marky Mark, voting three times to impeach) is dazzling.
Not that the TBer’s own the franchise on lemming-ness. Anybody who thinks there’s more than a dime’s worth of difference one political hopeful (or seasoned hack) and the next nowadays- regardless of party affiliation- would need surgery to remove their rose-colored glasses. It’s all about the rhetoric, and whose spin comes out ahead (and who is left standing) at election time. The sex scandals are mainly a by-product of the quest for- and belief that one has achieved- power. And (usually most of all) the money. It’s still the best system of government on the planet, but that may be no more than a sad commentary on the state of the planet nowadays (and what bodes for the future).
As far as Will Folks, I’ve heard his name before; never been to this site; don’t think he’s any more or less an opportunist than any political hack or hanger-on nowadays, but I have no doubt that he’s telling the truth on this (in some sense, or other). At the end of the day, thanks,

FITS is the Blair Witch of blogs… will you cash in on a few million??? lolol I digress.
So we have a hodge podge of text messages, clearly cut and pasted – and taken out of context. No e-file, nor have the text’s been electronically verified by a 3rd party source…
Why not?
Considering the media shit storm created in 3 days (of which, I commend from a Marketing POV, though you fail the moral POV) – any legit media outlet and/or any legit tech-based company can verify the integrity of these text, in their proper context, throughout the message threads.
I know the “stratey” is a slow bleed – and hey – I’m here – so again kudos on the traffic – but do you realize the moment a 3rd party group verified the electronic stamp – you would automatically gain support and legitimacy – and could really milk ($$$$) the slow bleed if Haleys camp refused comment…
Then – legit outlets would PAY for you to disclose the text messages and emails. I can see MSNBC, CNN; who are dying to get some viewers – pay handsomely for an expose on this affair.
But alas, you haven’t. Even worse – you are controlling the roll out of info internally (and may I suggest, have your wife or sister or whomever writes here drop the “Founding Editor” meme and just call you Wil or Folks – helps with brand recognition, “FOunding Editor” means nothing) while claiming “CNN, Haley’s campaign manager, etc” said they are real texts.
Yup they are “real” – though the context is sullied – because again – you just need to have the emails (IIS logs) or your e-stamped text messages verified.
Trust me – people will read every message to and fro, even the boring stuff.
I must say – this is a well crafted shaft job, you kids really took your time with this stuff. I know you are out of work and beating the shit out of your wife (who ironically you claim are protecting – and sorry – once you hit a woman, you get braded as such) – probably needed a little scratch , were screwed over by someone somewhere in the dirty political world – but come on – think the details a little further and you can effectively bullshit people while making money off of it.
Ask Mikey Moore.
And btw – you may want to do a better job of having your minions, all 5 of them out of 100 here posting, do a better job than just “Reps are bad, Dems are good” – not only are they light thinking trolls… but they are hurting your meme of “I really supported Nikki and am a Republican”

Something here just doesn’t feel right. First let me say I don’t know much about either person. I have heard of Haley and I have heard very little about Mr Folks. The statement was made in the texts that Haley would win if this thing was kept under wraps and then it is leaked. Too me that sounds like somebody who wants to improve his image at the expense of another person regardless if it is true or not.If I had an inappropriate relationship with another woman who was not my wife I would do all that I could to protect her from harm even if the relationship was over. Those of you who are salivating at the gossip should think twice before you draw a conclusion.I don’t have a dog in the fight but there is something wrong with a man who says that he had a relationship with a woman and then seeks to destroy her and at the same time make himself look like a person who wants to do what is right.Fact is the truth will come out in time.Haley could submit herself to a polygraph to help her cause. If she quits and runs away then she is probably guilty if she takes a stand and fights then she has nothing to hide.If I were her and I were innocent I would legally make Mr Folks feel the pain, legally.

Some are asking why Haley doesn’t sue Folks. Who’s to say she won’t. Sometimes it’s best to let the person wonder what you’re going to do. Psychological pressure can be more rewarding than financial rewards. If Folks is bluffing, he’s not sleeping well at night wondering what Haley has planned for him. If she really wants to screw with him she’ll drag this out and his legal fees will grow and grow until he’s financially ruined… a common legal tactic. Pressure like this has ruined the life of more than one man. If Folks wife is smart, which I’m guessing she isn’t, she’ll start planning her life without Willie soon.
By BloodBought1 May 26, 2010 at 10:21 pm
I think that there is a high probability that this whole e-mail dialogue was a manufactured skit by multiple participents representing multiple canidates’s campaigns,who felt threatened by Nikki Haley’s poll numbers. As well, it seems like a politically charged and motivated conspiracy by desperate candidates who will stop at nothing for their own political gain. I wonder how they divided the pay off. Regardless of Nikki Haley’s past experiences one way or the other, we need to look at who she is now, and what she stands for now, as well as what she can do for us as a Governor in the state of South Carolina. Barack Obama admitted he smoked marijuana and was a drug abuser in his earlier life, and he still got elected to be president.
Bill Clinton, after being revealed in many physical affairs during his Arkansas Governorship not only remained governor, but was elected president of the United States, and as well, recieved oral sex from an intern in the oval room of the White House and lied about it and was not impeached and pardoned a bunch of known criminals and cocaine dealers before he left office. This country ate that bunch of garbage without flinching. Barney Franks is an open homosexual who most likely has multiple physical partners due to the fact that he is not legally married to a man, that I know of, and he still is allowed to hold office. Real funny how people form opinions before they even know whether something is true or not. I’m a conservative, and I know the liberal left would use such tactics without hesitation, but I did not think that GOP candidates and their cronies would stoop so low. Being a Christian, I hate sin, but as well in balance, love the sinner. I have been forgiven for my iniquities by God, and I as well have learned to forgive. I don’t endorse these afore mentioned attrocities, but nevertheless, when I see someone overcome prior difficulties in their life with true humility, and strive to do that which is right, I am going to encourage them to go on ! (John 7:24) “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” (John 8:7) “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” Go get em’ Nikki !

Eventually there will be pictures and dirty texts and she could have stopped this a long time ago. She hadn’t told her husband about the “rumor”? If she hadn’t had an affair, she would have told her husband that she was being falsely accused. She got greedy and wanted it all – keep the revelation from the media and keep it from her husband too. That is not decent or honest. And it’s darn stupid. It looks like the field is bad enough that she might have won anyway if she’d just admitted it, but now she has this lie hanging over her head.

All the candidates are establishment insiders anyway, so it doesn’t really matter who wins. Put the names in a hat and draw one out. It will make no difference in the end.
When are the citizens of SC going to wise up and vote in someone who is not part of the establishment, ..say a REAL Tea Party type candidate? Too bad the Tea Party has been hijacked in SC.
These days, politics is more about cult of personality than policy or principles and it’s a damn shame!
I would have much preferred an independent thinker who wasn’t beholding to any party bosses but I don’t even have that choice with this crew of cronies.
Wise up people!! You’re being scammed by both parties.

Just do it. Vote Nicki “Mark Sanford” Haley into office. You’ll deserve whatever you get. Buyer’s remorse not allowed.
By Gene J May 27, 2010 at 12:10 am
Will its time to force Haley to fess up, the voters need to know the truth and we need to see the hard evidence before June 8th. With her capaign manager using the language he used we now really see those family values shes has been preaching.

@critical mass…really dude? there’s more in that article? irrefutable proof that Haley and Fochs hooked up? is that what’s in that article? nooop.
as far as hutchins….he doesn’t have jack. he’d have run it by now.
By William Blake Hawkins May 27, 2010 at 1:10 am
What evidence is this? Really? do you know how easy it is to present this messages as false? Had Nikki in fact already been governor this would be a different story but it would be political suiside for her to go around like she is in front of her supporters and the people of South Carolina and claim that its all false. I highly doubt her digging her own grave. This is all a hoax!!! If this man has evidence of her on voicemail then I change my statement but these foolish text messages are so stupid and false. NIKKI HALEY 2010!
By Eric May 27, 2010 at 1:43 am
Has anyone noticed that Nikki’s campaign manager seems to be being nice to Folks to try to get as much info from him as possible. Think about the campaign manager’s ordeal. An asshole blogger is saying that a “rumor” (he probably started years ago, by the way) is about to be leaked by a “media” outlet (The Free Times is a liberal piece of shit rag – not a media outlet) and he wants to protect his family (his wife) from it. Does the campaign manager really want to piss this guy off (knowing that he is a braggard blogger who makes up stories)? No, he plays the game to get more info from the guy so he can thwart any problems for his employer. He’s doing his job! He wants to know who this guy has spoken to so that he can contact them and let them know this guys a bullshit artist who’s pissed at Nikki for some reason.
By the way, if I was Mike Haley, I would beat this guy’s ass so bad he wouldn’t want to be able to see. When they took Mike to jail, the convicts would chear and love him. Whether it is true or not – don’t fuck with another man’s wife in any way, you son-of-a-bitch. You say you wanted to protect your family but you have the audacity to also say you screwed another man’s wife. What kind of piece of shit are you? You probably feel that you are a very complex man with complex emotions and such. You’re a fuckwad.

Who was on top/bottom. Who was a bossy bottom or demanding top. Any products used? How about props? All of these details are wonderful pieces of evidence for us to gain a greater apprecation of this story. It will also allow us greater insight to the mind of our future government. Give us a sense of expectations so there are no surprises.
My sense is not only advance the state career of Nikky ut will propel her immiediately into the national front as a reckon to deal with throughout this coutnry.
Tough on family values for others yet tough on her partners in extra marital affairs. I believe this is a wonderful step up to being a tough on terror candidate.

I to was dogged with rumors that I was having sex with people that were not my wife. Just gossip from rumor mongers that were out to get me. No pictures. No real evidence. Just lots of gossip and statements from people none of us like or would normally believe. I have a lovely wife. Why would I sleep with those ugly people who made up untrue rumors about me?
Hang in there Nikki the truth will come out soon of that I have no doubt.
They still have no pictures of me. No matter how hard they try.

By Incredulous May 27, 2010 at 8:52 am
At this point what is clear is that (1) WF is trying to destroy, not help Haley; (2) WF still has no evidence that Haley did anything wrong; (3) WF has an obsession for celebrity, page hits and ad revenue; (4) WF lied when he said on day one he would have nothing else to say about this; and (5) nothing about WF’s past including his criminal record gives him credibility.
By Beeloh May 27, 2010 at 8:55 am

By writing this story, Will Folks has demonstrated that he doesn’t hold himself in higher regard than any of the other people he has reported. Will has made his livelihood by helping to keep SC politics clean and transparent. Time and again Will has shed light on corrupt Republicans, Democrats and Independents. True, he airs dirty laundry, but knowing that helps some to keep their noses clean.
I think it’s commendable that he understands he must also be honest and transparent. The fact that he treats himself the way he does others shows that he is trustworthy and grounded.

People always trashing each other. If she did to this she needs to step down. But I think this is all so Will be a bigger player in politics.

By hosie May 27, 2010 at 9:29 am
Question? Jake Knotts said in a TV news interview a few weeks ago, after Nikki asked for our public representative’s votes to be made public. He said “she talks the talk; let’s see if she” can” walk the walk.” was that a tip or threat about as to what was coming? We all know who he is supporting” Andre. it seems something else is a foot here!
Folks what does he want a book deal or something? Tour around around sign autographs.
From what I saw on these so called e-mails show nothing on folks so-call web site. But a bunch of J/V acting good old boys trying to steer up some stink.
I truly think there is a fourth group here laughing at the stink they steered up. I hope it back fires!
By Libb May 27, 2010 at 9:51 am
Me thinks Will was bluffed into jumping ahead of the story, thereby starting this firestorm that threatens to make toast of him, Haley, and Barrett (was someone(s) thinking 3 birds w/ one stone?). I heard about the “alleged” affair over a year ago and that it was common knowledge “under the dome”. Also, most folks around the Dome will tell you Will Folks is a lot of things but a liar he is not. At this point I believe Will.
What bothers me (and should bother us all) is the glimpse these messages provide of how these hired “political hitmen” conduct business and what does it say about the politicians they “work” for? Makes one want to reach for the Raid bug spray.

I am not a Nikki Haley supporter, but why would this bring her down? This is her personal life. If she did do this, that is her personal problem to correct or make right. If she did I guess maybe others would wonder if she could be trusted? Look, she has just done what for years male politicians have done. Not saying it is right. I just think in order to be in politics you gotta be a pretty deceitful person to begin with. Well, another politician makes SC proud! Oh well, again, her life IF she did do this. Bigger fish to fry in my opinion!
By SCPoliticalSexyTime May 27, 2010 at 10:29 am
Everyone claiming these texts are bogus need to refer back to Tim Pearson’s admission to CNN last night that they are, in fact, authentic.
I don’t give a rat’s ass whether or not NH fucked an ugly blogger, a circus midget, or a Tijuana donkey — all anyone should care about is, as usual, the lying and coverup. If she’ll lie and cover up something like this, to what lengths will she go to lie and cover up misdeeds while in office (legislative, personal or otherwise)?
By OhNoNotAgain May 27, 2010 at 10:48 am
On the credibility issue.
The text messages, if born out, may prove that Will was upfront and not sabotaging Haley’s candidate, that she was his pic.
That’s the specific credibility call for this issue.
But in general, it shows to me he’s picking winners and losers in the campaign, while trying to cover all the candidates.
It damages overall credibility.
By Tom Davis May 27, 2010 at 11:37 am
This ‘evidence’ proves absolutely nothing and illustrates only that political operatives routinely attempt to impress each other by talking dirty.
Folks can claim an affair until the cows come home but unless it’s admitted to by Rep. Haley that’s all it is … a claim by an obscure blogger.
The other ‘players’ in this act ‘ought follow Folks into obscurity, too. They’re so minor in scope it’s laughable.
For the record, before they died I had Anna Nicole Smith, Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Onassis. Like Folks I’m also bald with a pock-marked face partially concealed by a bad-boy beard and ‘stache, nearly broke and newly-married, having gotten over my impulses to beat my previous love-interests. Apparently, Nikki loves losers, too.
I enjoy trying to be relative and I adore the limelight. If fact I’ll do or say anything to grab a ray … heck, I’m walking around in the mall with my pants unzipped as I write this message – texting it in.
There’s no question in my mind Folks is credible, none! Just look at his resume. Pathetic … obviously the man really does love hitting girls.
History suggests if there WAS ever any ‘inappropriate physical relationship’ it was probably a punch in the face after Nikki Haley demanded the Governor’s office conduct its business with greater transparency.
What a loser.

There’s apparently a “photo” that may surface. We all know this adulterous scandal involving Folks and Nikki Haley went on for some time; they’re both young, worked together — he writing for her campaign at one point — so opportunity was there, along with many a night they decided not to spend alone! You right-wing Hitlerian types who bury your heads like ostriches in the sand when it’s a Repthuglican doing this sleaze, but JUMP to watch Fox when it’s a Dem accused of adultery, are TRULY righteously indignant, Christian-in-name-only hypocrites! Especially ones like Lickey Haley, who tries to make herself out to be the moral compass for all of us “less Christian” folks — then CHEATS, THEN LIES ABOUT IT.
Is THIS the kind of governor SC wants/needs — one with an adulterous scandal following her into the Governor’s Mansion if she wins, especially given who’d she be replacing, king of all adulterous scandals Mark Sanford? Does SC really like or care if it’s considered the BIGGEST JOKE in the union? ahahahahaha
By Boz Martin May 27, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Will, I would GREATLY appreciate any info on what Pat Conroy has to do with any of this. I think I know but it would be interesting to find out. I beleive he has some connection to our Gresham Barrett related scandal with the Chamber of Commerce in MB, via Murdock and Bryan, and as he is also friends with friends of Brett Bursey (one of the Dock Street USC radical days reinactors in Beach Music), there are some reeeeal diverse and interesting political “strange bedfellows” here.
Of course, it’s all about money, and not ideology. Country Club Repubs and Country Club Dems stroking each other for mutual gain, with a stray far leftie or two in the mix. But you are pissing off so many of the same people that I am … well, I think you know where I’m going with this.

Eh, strongly suggestive but not conclusive. When the site promised texts, I assumed it meant between Haley and Folks, not between him and the campaign discussing how to deal with the rumors of an affair.
So let’s see those texts/voicemails or this still seems more smoke than fire. Really, you gotta produce a sex tape to prove it.

This is just another example of everything that is wrong in america. are you just out for your 15 minutes of fame? who cares if you had a physical relationship? I always wonder why people do what they do when they do it.
You could have come forward when if first happened? Instead you wait until her campaign is building steam? Did she hurt you? Did she refuse your advances? Is your ego bruised? Did you get paid to start releasing this information. You talked on the phone. So what? Now if you have pictures or video or audio evidence then great but if not go away and don’t distract people from politics.
By PC May 28, 2010 at 1:28 pm
I don’t believe this. I did not see one text message from Nikki Hailey, let alone the so called evidence he has to “prove” an affair with her. Lets see the compromising text messages from Nikki to you. Oh that is right, you probably don’t have them, or you haven’t finished typing them up and making them look good, huh? I think this is all so your website will get a million views. She is the only candidate we have that has said ANYTHING about getting our jobs back. We need her and you are trying to make her look like a fool and probably because she is a women. And EWW why would she want anything to do with you, even if she was single. Gross!! Get a life LOSER!

This is not exactly difficult to replicate… I can do it too….. Nonoe of this would be admissible in court, sorry Will, but your meager attempts at bringing Nikki down are pretty lame..

I am so tired of everyone taking up for her and saying it’s not true and all of this is fabricated. What would Will gain from making these texts up? Would Haley not gain quite a bit and completely squash these supposed “rumors” if she filed a lawsuit for slander? If these aligations are not true then this would have been done and she and her campaign would be announcing it from the rooftops. Get a clue. And stop hating on Will for sleeping with her. You think he’s the only one? Seriously. I am insulted as a woman to see the comments people are making in her defense. Also, to make the comment that South Carolina is not ready for a woman governor, get a clue. The governor in this state has no power so it wouldn’t matter if a chimp won.
