ERGO, IT MUST BE TRUE …
|| By FITSNEWS || S.C. Rep. Jenny Horne – who is looking to turn her emotional flip-flop on the Confederate flag into a seat in the U.S. Congress – told The (Charleston, S.C.) Post and Courier that her grandfather told her she was a descendent of Jefferson Davis.
But she never researched the claim … which is now drawing scrutiny from genealogists.
Unlike the mainstream media – which swallowed Horne’s claim hook, line and sinker – we raised questions about it in our initial coverage of her dramatic floor speech.
Now it appears Horne flat-out lied … (well, her grandpappy did).
More relevant from our perspective, we were the first outlet to report on Horne’s eleventh hour flip-flop on the flag … a tearful, public rebuke of an amendment she endorsed (and spoke in favor of) hours earlier behind closed doors.
Frankly we think her naked opportunism will be more damaging in the long term than her dubious ancestral boasts.
Eager to stretch out her fifteen minutes of fame, Horne is rallying support for a campaign against another drama queen, crybaby/ flip-flopper – former S.C. governor Mark Sanford, who won special election two years ago for the Palmetto State’s first congressional district seat.
Who do we want to win this race?
At the moment we’re taking a page out of Montgomery Brewster’s book and supporting “None of the above.”

Battle of the liars:
Either way, one of them wins, but the rest of us lose.
+10. Hard to top that. Winner.
Cockroach Bullshit
Brian Williams told me that I was the rightful heir to that huge bank account.

You don’t need to wait for your Grandpa, the Republican Party will happily do that anytime you want. In fact they have multiple pre-recorded lies, about how great life was before unions, environmental regulations, child labor laws, Social Security, Medicare, employment laws, OSHA, desegregated schools, etc. etc.
Ah for the good old days.
Oh for crying out loud just shut up with your political agendas for once and enjoy the show.
You must be real fun at parties.
All his dumbass can do is deflect. Odd he is talking about “multiple pre-recorded lies” and fails to see that the dumbacrats have even more for his queen ruler Hillary.
Well Jenny Goebbels Anderson Horne is a Republican so you might have a point, but first and formost she is the current minister of propaganda for the South Carolina legislature.
I think Joseph might be her 4th cousin or some such tall tale.

Jenny Horne: How a descendant of the president of the Confederacy helped vanquish his flag
http://www.opednews.com/Quicklink/Jenny-Horne-How-a-descend-in-General_News-Confederate-Flag_South-Carolina-150709-848.html
My Grand pappy told me that he had to walk five miles to school.
I found a recorded map. The district wasn’t wider than three miles at it’s greatest. I believe her Grandpa lied to her but she got to be pretty stupid to repeat that on national TV.
Yeah but it was uphill both ways, and it snowed everyday.
He had to carry his only pair of shoes so they wouldn’t get scuffed up.
If you are are public person and/or put yourself in a high profile position, never set yourself up for question or scrutiny in the day of instant TV and the ever-encompassing internet. There are people out there to have your ass at moments notice.
Actually, at this particular moment in time, I really would like to see her ass!
I know the feeling. And looking at ass usually is a good thing.
Any ass in a storm.
One more Jenny Meme and I have to go.
Lying, it’s a felony.

I’ll take a person who exaggerates their heritage over an admitted adulterer who lies and leaves his sons on Father’s Day to visit his girlfriend in Argentina any day.
Yeah, well you likely haven’t had to spend a complete day or more with Jenny Sanford.
I don’t disagree with you, but why did his four innocent sons have to be embarrassed because he couldn’t keep his pants zipped up?
He was told while bunking at the “C” Street house during his first stint in Congress that he was special, like David in the Bible.
“I’ll take a person who exaggerates their heritage over an admitted adulterer who lies and leaves his sons on Father’s Day to visit his girlfriend in Argentina any day.”
Thing is, the bar is very, VERY low…..if you put a baked potato with sour cream and chives on the ballot and ran it against Sanford & Horne the baked potato runs away with the election.
… provided the baked potato has an “R” by its name on the ballot.
That potato needs some bacon and a little butter and it’s a shoe in.
I consider the candidate of “potato with melted cheese and bacon” to be a viable contender as well.
One potato, two potato, three potato, four,
five potato, six potato, seven potato more.
One potato, two potato, three potato, four,
five potato, six potato, seven potato more.
Icha bacha, soda cracker,
Icha bacha boo.
Icha bacha, soda cracker,
Out goes Y-O-U!
One is a liar and POS that got caught, the other is a liar and POS that just hasn’t been caught yet. Both are politicians, both are just as bad. I promise.
I bet she believed it too, when grandpa told her he had a cow udder behind his zipper and that the stuff she drank from it after pulling for a while was milk.
Jenny Meme for today: http://s5.postimg.org/6dfirq2g7/jenny.jpg
lol…”Storm from the X-men”…funny shit right there.
It’s like six degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Whew! I had to examine that twice and am relieved that ‘Shifty Henry’ was, well, I’ll say it……not THAT shifty.
You know.. maybe she meant that she was related to The Jeffersons, or Sherman Hemsley. Some Yankee. Of course we know who ?Isabel Sanford is related to.
Ugly as Hillary.

She has sorta high cheekbones too, I bet she is a Cherokee Indian!
And 1/7th african american.
It’s not clear that her grandfather lied. He may have believed they were descended from Davis, when, in fact, they only shared common kin. That’s not unusual at all. Especially where famous personages are concerned. This is just something being used to to mock her, by ardent flag supporters.
I’m “kin” to the first man hanged for murder in Buncombe County, and a direct descendant from at least two who paid for their passage to America as indentured servants (still not the same as slavery).
Not quite the same as slavery, I’d say. But there are strong paralels. There are records of massive numbers of indentured Irish servants being shipped to the colonies in chains. Also of them being whipped and raped by their masters, and in many cases killed — with no punishment for their deaths. In the North, especially, they were treated like cattle. Less than human. In the South, they fared much better. Not all became like the fictional O’Haras, but many did own plantations and did exceptionally well. My own European ancestors were mainly Scots-Irish, meaning Irish people living in Scotland. Most came to SC and NC by way of Virginia, especially Isle of Wight County.
Some were indentured servants in VA, who bought their own freedom and intermarried with English landed gentry, and in several cases, with American Indians. The latter was often the case, especially, with those who were “Indian traders”, military officers and treaty negotiating politicians land surveyors, and travelling ministers. Such marriages were called “country marriages” by the Europeans, and more than one in my direct lines was disinherited for it. Some of the Martins had 3 or four “country wives” in different locations, mainly along the rivers and the Indian trails, in addition to the “white” wife back home. In areas such as ours with “remnant” Native Americans still extant, there was then further admixture between and among them.
^^^^ Part of the true history of at least 80% of “old families” of Horry, Georgetown, Williamsburg, Marion, and Dillon Counties, which were here before the 19th Century. And virtually all of us are related, by blood, marriage, or both.
Very damned few pure “white” people down ‘roun’ heah, in other words.
I’m an ambivalent flag detractor at best – you just don’t say stuff like that unless you know it to be true.
Jefferson Davis was a cross dresser – here’s proof: http://s5.postimg.org/gl35os7hj/jeff_in_drag.jpg
She is a bald face liar and she knows it.
I still find it hard to believe that she was told this at some point in her past and never made the claim publicly until now.
Don’t confuse folks with facts. It is something being used to mock her, for doing the very thing the people, including FITSNews asked her to do — take the flag off state grounds. At some point Buz you have to ask yourself about the company you are keeping. What exactly does this site represent? The very bottom of a toilet bowl.
How many slaves did Jeff Davis have? There are probably multiple lines of descendants.
Now, don’t go all “Sally Hemmings” on Jeff’s heritage.
Still waiting for the details — by that, I mean names on the record — of the alleged “flip-flop”.
If she wants to identify as a descendant of Jefferson Davis, then who are we to question it? I’ve taken the liberty of notifying ESPN so that she can be properly recognized for her bravery.
nice
You liberals are really sinking into the Bullshit in your desperation to be relevant. Don’t be so disgusting, and maybe you would not have to grasp at such absurd levels.
One representative for sale,

Apologizes to ? Shel Silverstein (Who Jenny Horne is also a decedent of.)
Here’s a joke I hope is worthy of Shifty: A man meets a woman in a bar. The man says, “Would you sleep with me for a million dollars.”
The woman says,”For a million? Sure.. I guess.”
The man says, “How about a buck-twenty five?”
Woman: “What kind of woman do you think I am?”
Man: “We’ve already established that. Now, we’re just haggling.”
A kid comes home from school with a writing assignment. He asks his father for help. “Dad, can you tell me the difference between potential and reality?”
His father looks up, thoughtfully, and then says, “I’ll demonstrate. Go ask your mother if she would sleep with George Clooney for a million dollars. Then go ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars.
Then come back and tell me what you’ve learned.”
The kid is puzzled, but decides to ask his mother. “Mom, if someone gave you a million dollars, would you sleep with George Clooney?”
“Don’t tell your father, but yes, I would,” she replies.
He then goes to his sister’s room. “Sis, if someone gave you a million dollars, would you sleep with Brad Pitt?”
She replies, “Omigod! Definitely!”
The kid goes back to his father. “Dad, I think I’ve figured it out. Potentially, we are sitting on two million dollars, but in reality, we are
living with two sluts.”
Two Jews walk into a bar.. no, wait.. I’ve already told that one..
Is she and Converse Chellis still having an affair?
Grandpa Goebbels is that you? It’s Jenny.

And I bet Gradpappy ain’t alive to defend himself. He must have come to her in a dream the night before because there is no way that she never played the ancestor card until now.
Anybody know Jenny’s grandpa’s name, dob and/or dod and maybe where he lived. We will run him thru Ancestry. Post it here.
If you truly want to run it through Ancestry, all you need is her name, age and location, which is all public record. It is simple to build a case from there. However, as I said on an earlier thread, the term “descendant” means different things to different people.
Hmmm. Did her grandpappy tell that Jefferson Davis was a cross dresser? My old Jeff was ahead of his time.
I will bet she is part Black and Part Indian also!
Does it even matter? Everyone got the chance to grandstand and in the end if history bothers to remember the event it will be that Pitts had all of his amendments, and he was a racist jackass, and that every single person in this state supported him because we are all racist jackasses who spent every waking moment dreaming of the glory days of lynching and having sex with our cousins (when in reality it really boiled down to 4 guys in House and 1 guy in Senate holding things up). Welcome to history. We are always on the losing side even when we try to do what’s right.
The same applies to your children, their children, and their children’s children. It will go on until the Republic’s history is deemed irrelevant.
Onward boys! We’ll ISIS Stone Mountain and name a few highways in GA and SC after Sherman to show those seditious terrorist scum who still don’t believe their rebellion is over! Quick, while the Republic still has breath!
Watching Jenny’s speech reminded me of the story about a guy who wanted to make an obscene phone call. He picks at random the name of a large company where he knows there are lots of women. A secretary answers the phone, and he starts his profane and lustful suggestions. The secretary is caught off guard and having asthma begins having an attack. After thirty seconds the guy pauses, and then asks her, “Hey, lady, did I call you or did you call me?”
So she’s saying that ‘stupid’ and ‘lying’ is part of her DNA. ‘Immoral’ must also be in her DNA since she’s blaming it on a dead guy.
