Lowcountry, S.C. blogger Earl Capps has taken to his website to address rumors that he had “drunken sex” with a gubernatorial candidate believed to be S.C. Rep. Nikki Haley. The GOP political operative says he felt compelled to respond to the rumors after another South Carolina political blog hinted on Tuesday that it may have proof that such a sexual encounter occurred.
“I have not discussed my relationships on the blog, nor will I discuss personal allegations regarding any South Carolina politico on this blog, including myself,” Capps writes on his website, The Blogland of Earl Capps. “That rule is not up for negotiation.”
Capps told FITS that he was not going to comment on the matter further until he had time to “figure out what someone has gotten a hold of.”
Now he is challenging his accusers to play their cards.
“The truth is a hard thing to prove, so I’m going to put the burden of proof upon those who would accuse me,” he said.
Obviously, that puts the ball back in the court of Brian McCarty, author of the Voting Under the Influence blog. McCarty claimed on Tuesday to have been provided with “shocking information that links a lowcountry blogger to drunken sex with a candidate for Governor of South Carolina and other SC politicos.”
McCarty did not name the blogger or the candidate in his original post, but later confirmed to FITS that he was referencing rumors about Haley and Capps.
Haley’s campaign has refused to comment on the Capps’ rumor, although in denying previous allegations of infidelity Haley has always maintained that she has been “100 percent faithful” to her husband.
While Capps refuses to answer direct questions about his relationship with Haley, one part of his statement appears to pour cold water on the rumors.
“Over the last four years, I met with Nikki Haley on several occasions to discuss legislative issues,” Capps writes. “These have included a veteran’s memorial marker in the Town of Bamberg, SC DSS treatment of a co-worker of mine, and her roll call voting initiatives. During those meetings, which were held in public places, she was cordial and often helpful.”
Hmmmm … cold water, but not a denial.

Earl should do what Will should have done. Deny the damn thing. Both of you guys seem to be enjoying the attention a little too much.
By Elizabeth September 1, 2010 at 5:40 pm
You MUST be kidding me!!!! DON’T LET SOMEONE STEAL YOUR THUNDER, WILL. Release your proof! The Dethroning of an Indian Queen…
Good Lord, Haley needs to go wherever Tiger went…
It must have been some good stuff, though, because no one wants to release the goods on her.
By Gary September 1, 2010 at 5:48 pm
WILL FOLKS::
Don’t you get sick and tired of this trash talk ?? This is the second gossip story about Haley in just one day and almost a 10th in just last one week. How desperate are you ??
There are rumors that you have been stalking Haley, have been hanging around her house and have even tried to follow her and that law enforcement is keeping an eye on you.

The quote below refers to a Maryland State Senator who took money for consulting for a grocery store chain. Are the Feds investigation Nikki yet?
“Government officials cross a bright line when they accept payments in return for using the authority of their office, whether they take cash in envelopes or checks labeled as consulting payments,” U.S. Attorney for Maryland Rod Rosenstein said in a statement.

I’ll say this about Nookie Haley.
She’ll pork herself some pork.
She doesn’t mind climbing Flesh Mountain.
She enjoys a Pillsbury Dough Fuck.
Good way to get the Fat Man vote, which is almost all of ‘em here in South Cackolackey.

If there’s video of this, Capps — for God’s sake — sit on it.
Bury the thing in an ass fold.
By Catherine September 1, 2010 at 8:30 pm
If this allegation/rumor/innuendo/whatever is also true…all I have to say at this point is given her taste in men (and her husband ain’t no great shakes either) Haley’s “judgement” (or lack thereof) makes me SERIOUSLY concerned about her mental capacity.

WHOOAA. that’s what earl capps looks like?

Al, rest assured, I wouldn’t torture you that way, nor would I attempt to sing. Both would be inhuman and are probably both against the Geneva Conventions.
This is, to be honest, boring and petty.

I shudder to think that some of these posters were on the Mr. Knozit Show when youngsters. Not only am I disappointed in their language but in this medium of expression that allows such foul expression. Ideas and comments can be made without such use of gutter talk. Soap to the mouths of those who need a through cleaning. A little flossing wouldn’t hurt! Knozit

By FITS Gals September 1, 2010 at 9:17 pm
Gary,
The only person stalking anyone is you. You carry on and on and on FITSNews and other websites about Will Folks. Just saw your latest comment on City Paper MAKING UP A STORY for the 100th time about Will posting as multiple people on FITSNews.
First of all, untrue. This site gets plenty of traffic and comments on its own, no need for anyone to make them up. The comments are moderated for the simple fact that he does not want SPAM, which serves to keep visitors from visiting harmful/virus laden websites but also to prevent harmful code from corrupting comments (while FITS has a good spam filter, you can never be too careful – this site has filtered more than a 330k spam comments and has more than 85k comments posted on it). Get a grip dude, moderation means a comment has to be approved before it’s posted. No one at FITSNews edits comments. period.
Second of all, there is absolutely no way you know the IP addresses of the people commenting on this website. That’s pure BS on your part. Nice try though.
Thirdly, the accusations you are making publicly are slanderous. I hope Sic Willie has good attorneys, because you are making an excellent case.
xoxo,
FITS Gals

Hey Gary – You were suppose to be disgusted and history months ago. But you know you are a smut monkey. Choking that chicken while typing.
By Al September 1, 2010 at 9:49 pm
Joe,
“Soap to the mouths of those who need a through (sic) cleaning.”
Say, you ought to learn the rudiments of your own language before you go around complaining about somebody else’s.
Your appearance here brings back a funny memory, though.
I went on a field trip to WIS-TV with a USC journalism class back in 1984. You tried to hit up on half the women in our group.
“Mr. Knozit acts like a damn perv,” one of them said, shuddering as she spoke.
So your self-righteous, blue-nosed complaint amounts to a pile of bullshit in my experience.
Cheers, freak.
By BradWarthenSucks September 1, 2010 at 10:26 pm
So what’s the deal with all these fat bloggers thinking they had sex with Haley. A bottle of lotion and an online picture of Haley isn’t exactly having sex with her.
By Eric September 1, 2010 at 10:33 pm
I think I understand why Kelly Payne endorsed Nikki Haley now. Based on the history of these two sluts I assume Payne and Haley got it on themselves. Hopefully Eckstrom took pictures.

Will – you are the epitome of a fame seekng, attention loving WHORE. I have serious doubt that anything you write or report (at least 90%) is even based in fact. I feel sorry for you and your family (mostly your family) that you feel the need to continue to broadcast to the world what an egotistical a-hole you are. PS – I am not even a Haley fan but I certainly DO NOT believe your allegations or any others…..in the words of the great Jim Carrey you are a – LOOOOO WHO WHO WHO SER
By Boz Martin September 2, 2010 at 3:07 am
Joe, I put the blame squarely on the sholders of Abusa YaYa. He was obviously an early Jihandist, intent on undoing all the good you had done for the children of SC.
What, none of you remember Mr. Knowzit’s kids-show-host rival on another Columbia channel, Abusa YaYa?
That’s because he was a magic man who had the power to cloud kiddie’s minds. Um … and also coz his show was on only briefly somethere close to the middle of the last century.
But it’s clearly still his fault, all these homely, horny bloggers and trash-talkin’ fucks … uh, I mean FOLKS!
By Sicko September 2, 2010 at 7:50 am
Will, the only person who has suggested him and her is you. I believe his challenge is aimed at you, so prove it. Or are you just some egotistical loser who wants to make shit up on people, but gets mad when they won’t play your game. Seriously, what part of “none of your business” don’t you understand?
By Prince Poppycock September 2, 2010 at 8:31 am
Gary – Hehehehehehe……got bitch slapped by fits gals again, eh? Sic has never edited any of my comments……although he has used good judgement in cutting some of the more randy jokes. I mean……darling, what Nikki and Jenny do with those robo rabbits are not for puritan eyes.
By Prince Poppycock September 2, 2010 at 8:33 am
Oh, btw….the comment about herpes of the eyes……use a better flashlight!!!
By Blazer September 2, 2010 at 8:55 am
Well…….you gotta print the on-line picture, make some adjustments to taste….then get some lotion and have nookie with nikki. She keeps telling us how busy she is………..the best you can do is get her on the phone for a couple minutes.
By sick of your sikh denial September 2, 2010 at 9:55 am
Gary, you keep posting, because you have every right to your opinions. Joe Pinner does not hit on women. He is a fine gentleman. Will Folks does not and has never hung around Nikki’s house or attempted to stalk her in any way. I live in her neighborhood, and he does not come around. As for Nikki, she’s an embarrassment to our town and our state. When you live in Lexington, you kind of know who’s sleeping with who.
By Darth September 2, 2010 at 11:06 am
So does this mean Wil, Jake and Larry got sloppy seconds?
By Brigid September 2, 2010 at 11:09 am
So I take it Capps is being ‘forced’ to come forward, in the way that FITS was ‘forced’ to come forward, with no proof, just vague and carefully-worded allegations.
No one believes these lies, unless they are complete morons.
I can’t wait to see who is behind the ‘forcing…’
By sick of your sikh denial September 2, 2010 at 11:29 am
Sorry Brigit, but a lot of people believe these lies. That is why you do not see her campaigning in Lexington. We’ve known how she was for years. People just kept their mouths shut.
By WorkingTommyC September 2, 2010 at 12:26 pm
I’ve seen Haley twice recently in Lexington and she was, believe it or not, CAMPAIGNING! There were a lot of folks who initially supported other candidates for governor there as well. Now they’re supporting her. Sounds like a normal campaign after the primary, doesn’t it?
There’s blogger fantasy and then there’s reality. Try a dose sometime, you might like it. It always hurts the first time but after that you might get used to it. After a while you might not even squint so much in bright daylight.

Thank you FITS,

No worries Silence….Fits moderates my shit too. Thank God
By Sicko September 2, 2010 at 5:16 pm
Last time I looked, only FITS was saying anything about Capps, Viers or anyone else. I’m not sure who is being forced to do anything. We all know he’s sexually obsessed.

Silence — if “Silence” is a suggestion or a threat, it failed. Try again.

FITS moderated comments? Then how the hell does Ball Sack the Tea Bagger get through?
Candy says: ” FITS moderated her shit. Thank God.”
So, you are glad that you were edited? Typers remorse?
By Silence Dogood September 3, 2010 at 3:51 pm
Mabilene, are you a complete moron? I am seriously curious. Silence Dogood is my handle – well before that national treasure movie made it famous.

Not at all — and this is the first I have heard of the movie or the Benjamin Franklin letters.
It is redundant to sign a post after you have already done so in the “Name*” field. For you to do so comes across as an imperative with which I, for one, am not going to comply.
For example, I sign “~Mab” on posts where I chose the anonymous option simply because it is more expedient, such as here on Earl’s blog:

Whoa! I rest my case and yes, Mr. Al…”through” should have been “thorough” but it did not reflect the “rudiments” of language you use that must make your Mom very proud. Evidently you didn’t win the Tootsie Roll if ever on the show and hold a grudge or something else in your makeup makes you appear so bitter at life. Oh, and I appreciate women! Always have and always will. Cheers back…Joe
By Al September 6, 2010 at 2:33 pm
Joe, you win.
Under that hammy exterior beats . . . more ham, I guess.
And the women do probably appreciate you.
At least one out fifty or so, and she’s likely a sixty-year-old botox container . . . sans uteri, no doubt.
So I’m sorry if my anecdote struck you as bitter. It was funny to the rest of us when it happened.
“Mr. Knozit acts like a damn perv,” said the shuddering female journalism student.
Not too long afterward, your hero — disgraced University of South Carolina president James Holderman — had to go to federal prison . . . a couple of times, in fact.
Hear from him, much? Tell us how great he is, Joe, and how proud we should all be of his several felonies.
By SnakeMD September 7, 2010 at 9:14 am
I do not condone James Holderman’s activities in his later years at USC, but he truly suffers from mental illness. It is very difficult to explain what happened to him and his fall from grace. He went on to more disastrous deeds after leaving USC that were even more weird. Very tragic.
By Al September 7, 2010 at 12:22 pm
Yeah, he was mentally ill, all right . . . mentally ill like a fox.
Fortunately, though, his last jury wasn’t as spastically hoodwinked as you are and packed him off for his second stay in federal prison.
He and his partner-in-crime — some other university functionary — had eagerly agreed to launder boat-loads of money for some Russian mafia guys who turned out to be — surprise! — FBI agents.
There’s nothing tragic here at all.
A tragedy is a kid who dies today because he didn’t get a liver in time.
Holderman was a crook, and you bought his crock.
By Al September 7, 2010 at 8:54 pm
P.S.
Joe —
Listen, you walking, talking HoneyBaked Ham, my Mom died one year ago this Thursday — on 9/9/09 — so thanks a bunch for the shout-out, you self-righteous asshole.
By SnakeMD September 9, 2010 at 11:42 pm
Give it up Al. Joe Pinner is too much of a class act to respond anymore to you. Just be thankful
that God does not allow access to this website for those up above. God forbid if your mother
could read all the the hate mongering stuff you dish out to everybody. PS: You might try some
new softener on that sock puppet of yours.
By Al September 10, 2010 at 2:05 pm
Yeah, who can forget Joe Pinner’s “class act?”
I remember back in the late 80′s when he and some blonde ditz had a live half-hour show at noon on WIS. It was a kind of poor man’s “Regis and Kathy Lee.”
Anyway, one day they interviewed a woman from Planned Parenthood, and Joe — who had been gazing absently into space for most of the interview — suddenly interrupted the proceedings with the bizarre comment that it was an absolute wonder he didn’t impregnate all kinds of women back in his “wayward youth.”
It’s live TV, and the way the mouths on the two women flopped open and just hung there as they stared at him without knowing what to say, would have gone absolutely viral had there been a YouTube.
Some class!
P.S.
My Mom laughed at everything I ever wrote, all the way to the end when it hurt to laugh. And I love how people like you purport to know what God allows and what he doesn’t. Maybe he’ll hire you as his full-time public relations toad.
By SnakeMD September 11, 2010 at 12:12 pm
Al, for it is written what God allows and what he doesn’t. You can be a saint-soldier and
march with the army of God or you can just do as you want and stop by Bob Jones University
and ask for forgiveness.
It is funny that you should mention the full-time public relations position–I was asked, but
I told him I was much too busy hanging out here on the FitNews site. Maybe I could do it
part-time. What you think?

Yep, for it is written.

“my local Shi’ite Baptist Mosque”
Al, you ought to come to Columbia and visit Nikki’s Sikh Methodist Gurdwara. I hear
they accept philanderers, too.
Can I use “Mullah Jethro”? Please! I’m looking for a sock puppet pseudonym, so I can appear
to have some friends. I think it would be an excellent name for me since my favorite
album is “Thick as a Brick” by Jethro Tull.
By Al September 12, 2010 at 2:48 pm
And I’ll bet your favorite member of the band was the guy who got the sex change.
What an image . . .
Playing “Thick as a Brick” on your headphones while reading “what is written” on the walls of interstate rest-stops and trucker toilets.
It’s an excellent name for you, all right.
