IT’S NOT JUST LEFT-LEANING POLITICIANS WHO ARE “KILLING THE MESSENGERS” NOW
Selective journalistic outrage is nothing new in the Palmetto State.
Here, status quo politicians (invariably “Republicans”) who perpetuate South Carolina’s anti-competitive business climate, worst-in-the-nation public schools and totally dysfunctional system of government get hall passes for the chronic failure of their efforts … while those of [...]
Another Slow (And Liberal) News Day For SC’s MSM
SC Senator: Ben Bernanke A “Traitor, Dictator”
DAVIS SLAMS FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN IN FLORIDA
S.C. Senator Tom Davis – a Tea Party favorite and one of the S.C. General Assembly’s leading fiscal conservatives – blasted Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in no uncertain terms during a rally for U.S. Rep. Ron Paul in Florida this week.
“Ben Bernanke is a traitor – a dictator,” [...]
SCDP: “Cry, Nikki, Cry”
South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman, Dick Harpootlian, released the following statement and video in response to Governor Nikki Haley’s childish response to a reporter asking her questions at a press conference today:
Silence is normally golden but not when it is a public servant who refuses to answer questions. Nikki Haley is acting more like a [...]
Talk To The Hand (Again) …
NIKKI HALEY DISSES ANOTHER REPORTER
Looks like we can add another reporter to S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s “enemies” list. The governor – who was in Charleston, S.C. this week unveiling her ethics reform proposals – refused to answer a question from reporter Gina Smith of The (Columbia, S.C.) State newspaper.
After Haley invited reporters’ queries, Smith piped [...]

In Defense Of Trikki’s Fiction …
WELL … ONE SHRED OF IT, ANYWAY
We’ve already exposed at least one major lie included in S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s new book … and reporter Gina Smith of The (Columbia, S.C.) State newspaper has a big story up this week exposing several additional fibs.
Are we surprised by any of this? Of course not …
Haley has [...]
Selective (“Journalistic”) Bombing
Some say this website has evolved beyond being a mere blog … but one thing that isn’t up for debate is the fact that we are a biased outlet. In addition to breaking news on a daily basis we are actively attempting to influence our readers’ thinking on the various issues we cover.
“Unfair, Imbalanced … [...]
Sharia Law Nonsense Is Back
We’ve written extensively about the non-existent threat of “sharia law.” In the process, we’ve found ourselves on the receiving end of a spam email campaign in which a large number of deeply impressionable people have sought to educate us about this “important issue.”
For those of you unfamiliar with the “Sharia Law” debate, it’s the belief [...]
Nikki Haley Is Destroying Public Records
In yet another flagrant betrayal of everything she says she stands for, S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley – who was elected in 2010 on a platform of government transparency – is destroying public records in what appears to be a deliberate attempt to evade the state’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) laws.
According to reporter Gina Smith [...]
Disabled Not Eligible For “Nikki Pool”
Another day, another public relations disaster stemming from S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s boneheaded promise to drive 180,000 South Carolinians to the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) office to get their taxpayer-funded voter ID cards.
Per the SCGOP’s new voter ID law, anyone wishing to cast a ballot in South Carolina must present a valid form [...]
David Mack: Still Kickin’ It
Don’t call it a comeback …
Contrary to the public pronouncements of top S.C. lawmakers – including S.C. Rep. Alan Clemmons (RINO-Myrtle Beach) – S.C. Rep. David Mack (D-Charleston) is very much still kickin’ it.
The Lowcountry lawmaker – who has served in the House since 1997 – was reportedly involved in a car crash in downtown [...]
