The two-pronged email smear campaign that targeted former U.S. Speaker Newt Gingrich on the eve of South Carolina’s pivotal “First in the South” presidential primary was a “big, highly-sophisticated” undertaking, according to one of the law enforcement professionals currently investigating the cyber crime.
An internet protocol investigator with the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) confirmed [...]
Investigator: Gingrich Email Smear “Big, Highly-Sophisticated”
Donehues For Charity
Like our founding editor, S.C. political consultant Wesley Donehue married well … very well.
In fact we’re pretty sure he hears the phrase “outkicked the coverage” every bit as much as Sic Willie does.
And while the lovely Elizabeth Donehue (above, with goober) typically dials for dollars on behalf of Republican politicians and political organizations … this [...]

Michele Bachmann Hires Controversial SC Consultant
Looks like U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann’s trial run with controversial South Carolina political consultant has been extended …
Wes Donehue – a new media specialist with ties to the state’s “Republican in Name Only” establishment – was named as the latest member of Bachmann’s South Carolina team, joining former George W. Bush appointee Ron Thomas and [...]

A pair of South Carolina political consultants/ bloggers (pictured above) have launched a new website devoted to ridiculing FITS founding editor, Sic Willie. The website? WillFolks.com.

Will Folks. Such a pansy, he can only be a badass behind a keyboard.
The website – run by [...]
What The Huckabee Is Happening In SC?
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee allegedly told his South Carolina consultants that he wasn’t going to run for president in 2012 … or at least that’s what a Palmetto Republican blogger reported on Wednesday.
Of course what could have erupted into a national news story may very well turn out to be the first example of [...]
Will Folks Is Pwned
It doesn’t happen very often, but our founding editor got flat-out “owned” (or “pwned” as the cool kids say) during a live internet talk show on Thursday.
What happened?
Well, the host of the show – establishment GOP political consultant Wesley Donehue – revealed that he had recently purchased the internet domain name WillFolks.com. This practice – [...]
Who Are These People?
No, we’re not talking about the bloggers over at Process Story. We’ve written about their website before – and truth be told we’re actually pretty impressed by the quality and quantity of the content they’re producing.
We’re also impressed by their ability to differentiate between “their” and “they’re,” which is hit or miss in a state [...]
More GOP Phone Fun
What is it with South Carolina Republicans and telephones these days?
First there was House Speaker Bobby Harrell – an ardent opponent of transparency in government – admitting that he was responsible for an anonymous “pro-transparency” robo-call attempting to influence the outcome of the race for Speaker of the House. More recently, there’s the brewing scandal [...]
Haley-gate: The Storm Before The Storm
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 [...]
