YOU WILL BE DELETED FROM HER EXCELLENCY’S FACEBOOK PAGE
Like your taxpayer-funded emails, S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley is deleting critical comments made about her on Facebook. Not only that, she’s blocking individuals who criticize her from appearing on her Facebook page.
Awesome right? Sounds like yet another installment of our favorite program, “Big Sister Nimrata Is Watching.”
Obviously it’s Haley’s right to do whatever she wants on her own Facebook page … just as it’s her right to go on the popular social networking website pretending to be her husband (even though that technically violates Facebook Law).
But Haley is now backtracking on her administration’s original standard for deleting comments – namely the use of profanity or vulgarity – and her critics are calling her on it.
“Frank Martinez’s (c)omments containing no profanity or vulgarity were deleted simply because he spoke against her,” one website notes. “However, she did leave in comments where other posters called him an idiot.”
They’ve even got a picture of comments that have since been removed by the governor …
(Click to enlarge)
Not only that, we’ve been provided with a whole collection of blocked comments from someone who was banned from Haley’s page.
While Haley apparently isn’t in the mood to take criticism on Facebook, she’s doesn’t mind dishing it out.
For example, her late-night entry attacking a local television station prompted a major brou-ha-ha back in February.
Haley also routinely posts entries attacking the administration of Barack Obama, even though her S.C. Department of Transportation relied on a bailout from the federal government to stay afloat last summer – just six weeks after Haley signed off on the largest budget in state history.
That’s pretty hypocritical isn’t it?
Of course it is … but don’t try posting anything like that on Haley’s Facebook page.

Yes – I am one of people that has been banned from her facebook page and from her husband’s facebook page. He evidently didn’t like me putting anything on his site about him asking for campaign donations for Queen Haley’s birthday. It wasn’t like I was telling a lie or even being vulgar – I was just telling the truth which he nor Queen Haley evidently don’t appreciate on their facebook pages – they just want people to bow down to them(guess that comes from the Idian background) and say good things about them. Let’s not keep it real!!!

I actually complimented her on those lifted bubble buns of hers, and I got canned but all the guys after me with their compliments kept up.

It is NOT too large to be an insane asylum.
We have proven that with Sanford and Haley, Zais and Eckstrom and numerous others.
By Silver Eagle February 14, 2012 at 8:52 pm
The great majority of the people on her facebook aren’t even from the state of South Carolina – they are from just about every other state – wonder why that is – would you waste your time posting on the site of a Gov. from another state??? Guess she has just banned everyone from South Carolina.
By Bobby DeMuro February 14, 2012 at 3:25 pm
I hate to say this, since I love our brethren down south of us here in Charlotte, but it’s….. it’s almost….. it’s like South Carolina WANTS to stay the doormat of America. It’s not enough to be there already, and be at or near the bottom in things like, you know, funding education and school rankings – it’s like they almost revel in the idea that they are 51st out of 50.
Not everyone in the state, of course. Probably not even most. Charleston’s great. But all the notables; Sanford, Bauer, Haley, Joe Wilson, Thad Viers’ recent comments on Twitter – WHAT is going on? Is it like some sub-consciouse, psychological mind game I don’t understand?
By ? February 14, 2012 at 4:03 pm
“and be at or near the bottom in things like, you know, funding education and school rankings”
Strange, in terms of funding I always thought we were around middle depending on the survey on a per pupil basis.
schoolfundingfairness.org/executivesummary.htm
Typical causation fallacy via simpleton argument.
It’s kinda interesting though that a Charlotte resident would come on and basically shit on SC in general. I used to live in Meyers Park(Charlotte) and couldn’t stand the increase in population, traffic, & taxes. Charlotte’s become one big suburban shithole now with roads so clogged you could bike everywhere faster. It’s the perfect example of “central planning” gone wrong that started under Pat McCrory’s tenure.
I love it in SC despite all of its warts. Try not to throw too many stones in your glass house, ok Bobby? Maybe your energy might be better directed at putting your own house in order.
By are you shittin' me? February 14, 2012 at 4:06 pm
Per the NEA Reference Center, 2009 – 2010, Public School Revenue per Student: South Carolina 32nd – $ 11,646.00 and North Carolina 48th – 9,273.00.
I am certainly not saying we have anything more than a terrible public school system but let us stick to the facts.
By Smirks February 14, 2012 at 4:08 pm
Politics in SC is very partisan. Overall, we are a red state with very concentrated blue spots. As such, elections that count the entire state pretty much go full-on Republican, and elections that count limited areas go whichever way that area leans. Not only that, SC loves incumbents, has no recall powers, enables laziness and ignorance with a “straight-ticket” option on ballot machines, ranks as one of the lowest in education…
To make a long story short, there are countless factors that enable people to ride the system once they are in, and that’s exactly what they do. The ones satisfied with being a career politician stick to the legislative branch, and term-limited offices end up loaded with people whose goals are set beyond the state they are supposedly serving (first Sanford, now Nikki).
If you think it is some kind of psychological mind game, you’re over-thinking it. The simple fact is, you can’t save SC from itself.
By SCBlues February 14, 2012 at 4:48 pm
Bobby -
Great points – I agree.
“What is going on?” you ask.
Well, we elect anyone with an “R” after their name in SC – that is what is going on . . .

Passing over SCDHEC’s number two for that divorced, bar flunking bimbo seems quite unlawful to me, but those numbnut Senators got into it.

Nikki’s reckless behavior makes me look like a moderate. Ah, Catherine “Text-or-Skype-Me” Templeton, how goofy can Nikki get?
By Ima February 14, 2012 at 7:38 pm
Vin, you can email Catherine at her new DHEC email address. She already has one there. Perhaps someone should go ahead an FOIA the account to see what’s already flowed through it?

A sociopath is a person who disregards and violates the rights of others while refusing to conform to societal norms. There are many characteristics to help you identify sociopathic behavior. 1-Notice if the person displays a lack of conscience. Sociopathic behavior is usually noticable in childhood. Take notice when you see a child who shows no emotions when something bad happens to someone else or shows no guilt or remorse for his or her own actions. 2- See if there is a pattern of poor or irresponsible behavior in school or on the job. Other behaviors to look for are recklessness, impulsivity, and participation in illegal activities. 3- Pay attention to the person’s personal relationships. Many sociopaths have the inability to love or have lasting relationships. This is because they can be very manipulative. 4- Recognize patterns of pathological lying. Many sociopaths will continue to lie even if they are caught. They can be very charming and get others who are blind to their behavior to side with them. 5- Notice if a person has some inflated sense of self-importance or narcissism. A sociopath believes they are the only person who matters and have complete disregard for everyone else. Although the soc. may be very charming, they will take advanatge of those who trust. 6- See if the person nhas the need for stimulation by engaging in risky or dangerous behavior. These behaviors are often sexual or thrill seeking. Sociopaths tend to get bored easily, which is why they seldom complete tasks and constantly seek out other forms of excitement. There is professional therapy for those who suffer.

It’s happening on Twitter too. She stopped following me and I’m betting I was blocked.
By Jerry Lahm February 14, 2012 at 4:17 pm
I was also blocked by Governor Haley but she did not feel the need block the person who attacked me to the point that he was the first and only person I have EVER blocked on Facebook. She even let him keep commenting about me after I was blocked. This inbred idiot was posting public but irrelevant information about my job, my house and whatever else his retarded little mind thought would make me look bad. Sad thing is this child molester wannabe is probably STILL posting his irrational BS on her page and she is happy to have him waylon on about his support for her.
By south mauldin February 14, 2012 at 4:28 pm
The person below my newest hero, Mr. Martinez, is named Bonnie Droege Ramthum. She appears to be one of those asskisser types that make Haley thinks everybody likes her.
And Art Chartier is another one. Do these people have any brains?
By cash February 14, 2012 at 4:39 pm
She has NO friends.
By Dr. Sheldon Cooper February 14, 2012 at 4:59 pm
Oh, yes. I have been banned from both FB & TW, and it is all Howard’s fault. This was back during the Occupy Park fiasco, when Howard & Catherine Templeton went there after everybody was kicked out, to pick up used, colored condoms. I merely added that is was a great cost savings to both of them, and ZAP, I was banned. Not fair.
By Dr. Leonard Hofstadter February 14, 2012 at 5:08 pm
Well, it WAS a GREAT cost savings, but I got banned when Haley kept promoting the First Hubby, calling him a rock star & all that crap. I merely stated her could find a better use of her time.
By Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali February 14, 2012 at 5:21 pm
Ok, I admit I deserved it. People back home call her a Coconut, and I thought it was kind of funny. My bad. Nikki, will you forgive me & take me back? I am one of you. I am brown, from India, love cows and promiscuous, unprotected sex like you.
By RINO February 14, 2012 at 5:48 pm
She said on one FB rant that we needed to be “Team South Carolina” rather than bickering. So, when she would rant about how much we should all hate Obama, I would ask her why we couldn’t all just get along and be “Team South Carolina” as she said. No response from her, but I got beat up by her supporters about supporting Obama. I tried to tell them I didn’t. I just wanted to see us be non-partisan and, as she suggested, work for the common good. No response from her, but I again got beat up by her supporters. Then, I pointed out that the last time I checked Nikki was the governor of all the people of SC, not a vocal few. I think I am about to be blocked. After all, she can’t take criticism or anyone who reminds her of what she has said in the past.
By Dr. Huxtable February 14, 2012 at 6:17 pm
Haley is a pig. All of her supporters love a stupid, dumb ass pig.
By rick February 14, 2012 at 5:59 pm
I too have been blocked. I consider it a badge of honor
By Dr. Sheldon Cooper February 14, 2012 at 6:14 pm
Indeed, that is a healthy perspective, I too am honored. She is a ditz.
By MortyWadsworth February 14, 2012 at 6:02 pm
I don’t blame Gov. Haley. Criticize me and/or mine on MY Facebook page and you’ll be lucky if a delete or block is ALL you get. This is a non-story.
By Dr. Hannibal Lector February 14, 2012 at 6:12 pm
Oh, you & your big bad self. Are you healthy?
By C'mon Morty February 14, 2012 at 8:24 pm
It’s a valid story because Haley has spent the past year running from reporters wanting to ask questions about the multiple scandals clouding her administration. Her excuse has been that she’s not hiding from these issues; she just communicates directly with the people via social media.
That claim is now proven to be (another) lie; she uses Facebook to spout her spin and blocks anyone who questions the queen. The fact that she ran her entire campaign on transparency is just icing on the cake.
By Charlie9365 February 14, 2012 at 6:04 pm
SC Superintendent of Education, Mick Zais, is deleting comments and posts, as well. Absolutely amazing. I guess neither of them heard of public discourse or differing opinions. Can’t wait to remove them from office w/ a candidate who has actually holds real interest for improving SC for all her citizens.
By Dr. Politicians February 14, 2012 at 6:15 pm
I bet it kills them that Sic Willie lets us call them shit for brains.
By Truth Truth Truth February 15, 2012 at 8:40 pm
Not so Charlie. The Zais facebook page has comments and viewpoints from every perspective. He even engages them in commentary. Criticize him for his views, but you can’t say he is removing posts and comments.

By Dr. Sheldon Cooper February 14, 2012 at 6:55 pm
It’s the same people who spout…..”don’t insult the Governor, don’t disrespect the Governor, yada, yada, yada, in deference to the office, not the office holder. My black cat named pussy could be Governor, and they would behave no different. SC is a sad place.
By Dr. Huxtable February 14, 2012 at 6:50 pm
See, that just proves that Fitsnews drives her absolutely batshit crazy. There is no question. If she is taking the time to self promote her ass off on facebook & twitter, and then to actually look at comments, I mean, to cull through them picking out the bad ones like apples….. she is trying to fight back against this site. I betcha.
By Howard February 14, 2012 at 6:58 pm
I know my beloved Catherine No Tits Templeton says she doesn’t sweat Fitsnews, but she yanks pubes out just fretting about it.
By Penny February 14, 2012 at 7:00 pm
How do you know she doesn’t have any boobs?
By Howard February 14, 2012 at 7:01 pm
We had to test those condoms. They were used after all, why take a chance?
By Moose Man McCutchen February 14, 2012 at 8:53 pm
How about this? When Templeton was at LLR, she drove the State Durango to the Marriott in Charleston one Friday afternoon to meet friends for drinks. She got drunk and someone had to take her and pour her in the house. Maybe her house, maybe not. She left the State car in valet parking over the weekend at the motel. The following week 2 State employees at LLR had to take a $300.00 check down there to get the car. I’m sure Ms. Templeton appreciated the fact that the money was from the tax payers, it tied up two State employees (1 had to drive the car back to Columbia). All on the tax payer’s dime! Yep, that’s Nimrata’s cabinet rock star! I hope State Fleet cleaned all the liquor bottles and arrogant ignorance she filled it with while she had it, oh, and all the prescription pill bottles too.
By Vin February 14, 2012 at 10:50 pm
Templeton is a piece of ass. Wish I was there to help out that night.
By Dr. Sheldon Cooper February 15, 2012 at 8:44 am
I am telling you. Templeton sucks down Gin like a fish, that’s the main reason why she can’t go to work.
By Dr. Leonard Hofstadter February 15, 2012 at 8:46 am
She let loose at USC, boozed all night with a different guy. She was, and probably still is an easy lay. That’s why she flunked the bar.

Good God Almighty, people! You’re letting ShitWillie’s obsession with Haley drag you into a real suck hole.
By I know you are but what am I? February 15, 2012 at 9:14 am
Nice try. You’re probably a Haley staffer because only they could be stupid enough to run an entire race on transparency and then spend the next year being needlessly secretive while thinking it won’t have political consequences.
Haley ran her entire race on transparency. Now she runs from reporters and blocks ordinary citizens who politely disagree with her policies. She is a fraud and a failure.
By Jerry Lahm February 15, 2012 at 9:16 am
Well, maybe if she would respond to questions in letters, in emails or her public forums people wouldn’t be trying to engage her on the public forum that she set up.

Hello, I’m Mister Ed
A horse is a horse, of course of course,
and no one can talk to a horse of course,
that is of course, unless the horse,
Is the famous Mister Ed!
Go right to the source and ask the horse.
He’ll give you the answer that you’ll endorse.
He’s always on a steady course.
Talk to Mister Ed.
People yak-it-ti-yak a streak
and waste your time of day,
but Mister Ed will never speak,
unless he has something to say…
A horse is a horse, of course of course,
And this one will talk ’til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?
Well, listen to this…

Wouldn’t the Governor’s Facebook page, like any other communication of the Governor, be a “state record,” subject to legal requirements on preservation and disclosure? Does the Governor use state employees, perhaps folks in her office, to monitor and edit/delete comments from her Facebook page? If so, wouldn’t that at least suggest that her Facebook page is a state record and not a personal account? If it is a state record, how does she explain deleting comments from it? I don’t know the law on this – just asking.
By Dr. Pierce February 15, 2012 at 3:55 pm
I believe FB is simple social media. Haley is clearly a crazy stupid bitch who plays cheerleader with work related matters.
