THE PRICE OF SILENCE IS HIGH …

As we predicted she would be, embattled Richland County election director Lillian McBride has been paid off … or at least the deal to purchase her silence is taking shape.

The corrupt public official who oversaw one of the most glaring instances of voter suppression we’ve ever seen is relinquishing her leadership position – which is good.  However McBride will be appointed to another taxpayer-funded job within the election commission – one enabling her to qualify for full benefits from the state’s pension fund.

Convenient, isn’t it? Help a corrupt cadre of elected officials steal over a billion dollars – get set for life.

For those of you unfamiliar with her story, McBride is the puppet election director who oversaw the November 2012 “Richland County Robbery” – which we contend was a rigged election manipulated for the sole purpose of passing a $1.2 billion tax hike.

Two years ago, efforts to pass this tax increase in Richland County failed by just 600 votes – prompting Republican and Democratic state lawmakers to oust a 30-year election veteran and install McBride (who is all sorts of connected to the tax hike movement) as election director.

The result?  Mysterious shortages (and malfunctions) of voting machines in precincts that voted heavily against the tax increase two years ago – leading to seven hour wait times in some of these precincts.  These shortages and malfunctions resulted in widespread violations of a state law mandating at least one operable voting machine per every 250 registered voters.

Thanks to this illegal voter suppression, the sales tax hike passed by a 52-48 percent margin.

Frankly the price of McBride’s silence – while high – is nowhere near the price this tax hike will exact from the local economy. And more to the point, neither expense comes close to the cost of lost faith in our democratic institutions that has resulted from this illegal election.

We knew corruption in South Carolina was bad, but when elected officials can conspire to rig elections – and then pay off the people responsible – you know it’s gotten completely out of hand.

That’s when it’s time for the people who are getting robbed to start taking matters into their own hands …

Junior, the Sword of Justice has no scabbard. However, she was the king in the kingdom of the blind. Nothing will happen to her. The race card is her wild card. Anyone with any ambitions of political life will not touch her. She is a leper.

I waited in line for almost 4 hours because there was only one voting machine working in one of the largest precincts in Richland county. Mostly white, mostly conservative, and mostly Republican — the landscape dotted with “Vote No” signs on the tax levy and yet it passed. Chicago style politics has birthed a new child in S.C. Disgusting!

Our entire system of government is rotten from the top down.

I was in Publix yesterday at Trenholm Plaza and I struck up a conversation with a middle age black woman in front of me at the check out counter. I couldn’t help but notice that her grocery cart was filled to the brim. Like over $250.00 worth. She had a child about 4 years old with her. Both mother and daughter were dressed in designer clothes with lots of jewelry. The mother had a very expensive hand bag as well.

To my surprise she pulled out a chunk of food stamps. There was some confusion about how to ring up the items and the cashier preceded to “split” the bulk of the items in half and ring them up under two different receipts. Don’t know why.

I went out side and followed the lady to watch her load her vehicle. She was driving a brand new SUV with a Heathwood Hall sticker on the rear window. Heathwood Hall costs $10,000 plus a year to attend. Wonder if one of her children has a full scholarship there? I’m sure The Hall needs some people of color to put on their billboards.

Oh yeah — I’m a racist because I’m assuming the car is hers and I hadn’t figured she just borrowed it from her wealthy sister. Or she bought the car with The Hall sticker already on it. Such is life in the US of A. Go figure.

Food stamps are no longer dispensed in a “chunk”. Aid of this sort comes as an ATM-type card that is indistinguishable from a bank card.

I’m with Guero. I go to that Publix nearly every night. It has much less food stamp use than the BiLo on Devine Street.

All food stamp recipients use the EBT card to buy food. I don’t really support fat rednecks and minorities using my tax money to buy food that will make them fatter, but ‘chunks of food stamps’ is bullshit. Make a good argument about a situation without lying, Robin Hood.

I guess I should have mentioned that the woman had a handful of coupons and a Snap card and she was paying for non-eligible items with a check. The confusion was about paying tax or not paying tax on some of her items and I’m still not sure why the cashier rang all of her items with two separate receipts.

@Guero. Of course I’m really wasting my time adding this information because you are firmly convinced I made this up. I just moved here and all my children have graduated college. So, everybody that shops ands lives in the Trenholm Plaza ” drop zone”, as you say, are racists Repukeicans?

I moved to Charleston after I graduated from USC in the early 70’s. My first job was working at the food stamp program. I only did this sort of work for about 3 years until I wound up going into retail and eventually opening my own store which I operated for 17 years.

This sort of story has been around since Merle Haggard wrote “Okie from Muskogee.” I heard many people complaining about “seeing someone buying food with stamps and loadin’ em up in a Cadillac.” Of course there were cases of fraud but they were not nearly as widespread as some folk were led to believe and many people were caught and prosecuted.

One of the features of the food stamp program is what is called the “designated representative” option. My job was to travel to the outlying, rural areas of Charleston County in a mobile unit and certify elderly and disabled people who couldn’t drive if they had the money to buy a car. Most of the folks I interviewed were either senile, very fragile, hobbling on crutches, or in wheelchairs. Invariably they would ask for a “designated representative” to be added to their file. This person, usually a relative or trusted member of their church, was authorized to do their food shopping for them.

No telling how many angry folks stood in line behind these good samaritans and assumed the worst.

Don’t know whether this story is true or not (I’ll assume that it is); however, my own experiences have confirmed hundreds (if not thousands) of these types of events during my 20+ years of buying groceries. And yeah, call my racist for honestly stating my observations, but around 90% of these types of purchases have been from non-white people. The worst story though?… ironically, from some older Asian couple that didn’t speak English at all. At Wal-Mart roughly 5 years ago, I witnessed an older Asian couple purchasing hundreds of dollars of frozen chicken breasts with EBT. And yep, it was pretty easy to deduct that that chicken would be sold back to taxpayers at some Asian restaurant over the coming days/weeks. So yep, given my observances, I pretty much hate the food stamp program too.

Smirks January 6, 2013 at 9:42 pm

I worked for years as a bagger through high school and college. People buying hundreds of dollars worth of groceries, especially meats and junk food, was pretty normal. That is precisely why government needs to set limits on certain categories of food, namely those too. I’ve also seen people with a ridiculous amount of money on their EBT card. The register prints out a small sliver at the end of an EBT order that states their remaining balance, and I’ve seen people spend about $200 and have several hundred left over. I’m sure there is a significant amount of fraud, and that needs to be taken care of too.

A vast majority of EBT card users either drove junker cars or cheap sedans, with the occasional but rare 20″+ rims. No fancy car or SUV or private school bumper sticker. This was in Columbia, not too far from the Trenholm Publix. Jewelry looked fake, clothes usually looked like K-mart shit except for sometimes the shoes.

WIC has to be rung up completely separate and one order for each form, but is by far a much better program. At the very least it forces them to buy specific foods for their kids. It would explain the multiple orders, although only baby formula would cost a significant amount of cash.

Food stamps needs reform and needs to have some cracking down on fraud, but from my experience the ghetto fabulous shucksters with Escalades are very, very scarce.

I agree 100%.

I was raised in the “Old South” where the ‘colored people’ divided THEMSELVES into three castes:
(1) Ladies and Gentlemen of Color;[Example: Stuart (MD) and his wife (JD)];
(2) “Colored People” Think: most Black Christian Families who are not actively racist; and,
(3) Niggers (the rabble rousers and the “owed” incompetents who are thriving on the public tit ONLY because they are minorities in a Democrat-controlled county, plus those who intentionally do not wish to conform to the normal limits of good behavior.

Do Not Get Me Wrong. I have an equally great problem with the Red-necks and the “po’ White Trash” that infect my racial component. These are despicable people who should also be “shunned” or whatever the currently popular word for “excluded” is.

I have many friends who are ladies and gentlemen of color; when I was an adolescent, I was required to go visit “Aunt Tan” in northern Georgia, who was the matriarch of the colored families residing in Bean Creek Community. It was a true pleasure, and her great-grandson and I were playmates through the 1940s.

I have many friends who are colored people; I fondly remember my “nurse” Vera and her sons Paul and Billy (Billy I re-met 25 years later when I needed some tile work done; his mother’s “boyfriend” has cut her throat and killed her in the late 1940s)

and I have many friends who are just plain Niggers; You Be what you Be.

Unfortunately, all of the persons of African descent that I have a problem with are all Niggers.

Once civilization catches up with this disadvantaged racial minority (within what is growing into a racial equality) is achieved, then we can ALL get along together.

We in the South bought the slaves – we did not sell them to ourselves from Africa – that was the province of the ‘chieftians’ of the ‘black’ tribes, and our “friends”, the British and the Portugese.

President James Monroe created the Free State of Monrovia in Africa for any impressed African that wished to go back to Africa at the expense of the United States Government. Few applied. (It is my understanding that everyone who applied was granted free transportation).

BUT – look what lack of civilization has wrought against Liberia in the last 25 years.

Once social mores can be established with any ethnic group, they will certainly be more socially acceptable to any group that has been ‘civilized’ for more than a millenium (Think: China).

Tough Shit, folks. Get your act together and we can get along fine.

To borrow an epithet from my White Trash acquaintes — “NAACP = “Niggers aren’t Acting like Colored People”.

I purposely do not live in Richland County for many reasons. upertaxation being the primary one.

Ratings is a great indicator that a news channel knows how to captivate an audience, not how intelligent or informed that audience is before or after watching the channel or how informative or objective that news channel is. If other channels make a killing off of brain-rotting reality shows, it stands to reason news channels can make a killing off of brain-rotting shows about reality.

The whole reason journalism is dead is because news caters to ratings, not reporting the damn news. Not even sure how Fox News (or MSNBC for that matter) is “news” when their primetime slots are taken up by a bunch of political pundits spouting rhetoric and what little objective content they have is slanted or sandwiched between a mountain of subjective bullshit.

TO ALL OF YOU ABOVE-

There is a type of voucher used to purchase grocery items, but I do not know what it is called.

The vouchers look like oversized checks, and when used can purchase only certain approved items, either by type or brand. So when groceries are at the register, the cashier must separate those items from items purchased with the more familiar ebt card. This is extra work for the cashier.

I see these used 4=6 times per week, and there are probably 6-8 vouchers used by one person. I don’t know if their purchases are txable.

WIC provides two things:

1) Baby formula, either canned liquid or powder. (Can be restricted to a certain brand or type.)

2) Food items, including milk, WIC-approved cereal, peanut butter, beans, juice, and other things. They are usually restricted to a certain amount or type for each item.

WIC seems to give people a lot of 1-item vouchers, primarily for milk. They may have 6-8 vouchers, but I guarantee that a couple of them are for milk only, I’m guessing because milk can expire or run out before the month is through.

Each voucher has to be rung on an individual order, too, as each slip has to be filled out for the specific amount of the groceries on the voucher and has to have a copy of the receipt with it.

One thing that pissed me off about WIC was that some people would buy name brand milk with it, which was a dollar more than store brand milk. People, it’s the same milk, from the same cows, comes from the same milk company and rolls off the same milk truck. Save Uncle Sam (and by extension, the taxpayers) a buck a gallon and buy the goddamn store brand milk. I promise you your kid won’t know the difference.

Women-Infants-Children (WIC) is a federal nutrition program for pregnant or breasted feedingmothers and children under five. It is often User in conjunction with “food stamps ” and generally comes in the form of over sized “coupons “.

The program requires that specific items be purchased (bread, milk, peanut butter…) only. They generally do cause slow downs in the checkout line because of the requirement to purchase specific items, quantities and amounts. “Mothers ” waiting to check out often have a wad of the checks in hand when waiting to check out. Drive over towards the upstate and you’ll see whitey using them just as often as you see Shanikqua.

Looks like you took the bait, SCBlues. The article is about corruption and election fraud, not racism. Focus.

Anyone else think FITS is pretty ?LAZY…It’s been days since he’s put up anything new…

And all this POack-Tink, non-thinker really doe sis Link othe peoples’ news…unless he’s hacking for pay…

Very Telling when the posters contribute more than the “Founder”….

We have a lot of D0-Nothing, Lazy and leftwing politicians..and The State newspaper may be Leftwing…but they ain’t Lazy…

If you want to be unique FITS, I’m guessing, lazy and left of center, is not the most effective way to try to establish your differences…

This thread kind of imploded into some kind of race war. As hilarious as this shit is to read, come on people. A crook is a crook, and just because Clyburn or some other moron throws the race card doesn’t mean you have to stoop to their level. I’m not even sure where the whole food stamps and black people on gubmint assistance came from. It isn’t like a low-class crook would need food stamps when they are getting paid off.

Corruption is colorblind, too bad SC isn’t.

Glad you got educated, Smirks…When Liberals get caught w/ their pants down around their ankles…they’ll BLAME Anything and Everything…except the truth (themselves)…

Obama got re-elected by blaming Bush for Obama’s miserable Failure…

You think you Sorry Theiving Pieces of $#!* will EVER admit it’s you who are responsible????…Especially when a black woman is the one caught….

You have MANY ways to keep from Owning up to your long list of inevitable Leftwing Failure…Race is one the Most-often used…

You can’t be that G*# D@*n#% stupid can you, Smirks???…but of course you arw a liberal…so I think we both know the answer…

Ah, shut up you worthless shill and go back to doing what you do best, being the butt of just about every joke on this site.

Considering your steadfast defense of Haley, the only crooks you seem to hate are ones that aren’t Republicans.

Does not surprise me at all, as Richland county is a Liberal Progressive hotbed of democrats taxing and wasting money like the Failed President. She is SCUM, like most of the Failed Presidents political appointees, and good ole race baiter Clyburn.

Columbia, as most American Democratic Party ghetto cities are the new reservations for minorities, poverty, crime, UNWED Mothers, school dropouts(76%), 50 percent illiteracy rate, abortions, drugs, gangs, gangsters, guns, abyss of crime, debauchery, gun play, school truancy, car-jacking, human depravity, cronyism, incompetence, arrogance, murders remain unsolved, unemployment rate is 32.9%, and general entitlement living. They have become this way (AS WE ALL KNOW) from the liberal progressive mindset of spread the wealth. With Aid to Dependent Children, (73% Out of Wedlock) minority women birthed eight to 10, and in one case, one woman birthed 24 children and all on American taxpayer dollars. America city reservations are a vast urban wilderness filled with mayhem and death.

You have itemized the problems that everyone should be aware of – but who has the time, energy and money to try to eliminate or minimize them?

How do you keep an ignorant guy quiet and busy for hours and hours – give him a STOP sign to read.

Criticize Fitsnews all you want to, but you’re here at the STOP sign, and probably every day, and you come here of your own free will. I enjoy it because you guys and gals have provided me with entertainment and enlightenment.

But it’s always better to focus on the subject of the articles without getting into personal attacks.

Fits probably has provided a public service by keeping some of you at your keyboards and off the mean streets where you might be harassing unsuspecting citizens (yep – that includes me).

Fits is like a little buffet – never know what the specials of the day are going to be, and there is plenty of variety.

By the way, Bigt, don’t forget to make your flashcards for your profanity. If you go to a Starbucks, you know you can tape a list on your laptop – or you could tattoo them on your knuckles (after you shave them).

She didn’t have the guts or the ability to speak up for herself during this mess. Truly a shameful and shameless person.

It will be interesting to see if Miz Lilly sues FitsNews. Accusations of public “corruption,” as opposed to incompetence, are pe se defamatory. If not, it is an admission that she has more to lose from the public scrutiny that a civil suit would bring. Fits must have some pretty good lawyers on retainer.

I’m sure he has the best lawyers available, otherwise he wouldn’t allow some of the postings here; I just laugh at some of the defamatory remarks thrown at me. Hellfire, he might even have cases against some of us! Yours truly excluded, of course.

For Miz Lilly to sue Fits would be futile because too much of the hidden truths would be revealed through depositions. That process would be like releasing all the zoo animals at once.

I don’t believe that her handlers would allow her to try it. There would be too much embarrassment to them. It could cause a general house-cleaning during the next election.

Hmmm, I would not hold my breath waiting for Eric Holder to investigate this blatant example of voter suppression.

Eric is to busy selling guns to drug cartels in Mexico.
