First it was the blogger, then it was the lobbyist could a South Carolina lawmaker be the next Palmetto politico accused of amorous activity with GOP gubernatorial nominee Nikki Haley?
Thats the story numerous lobbyists are relating to FITS a narrative that includes allegations of at least one specific encounter between Haley and S.C. Rep. Thad Viers (R-Myrtle Beach) at a 2006 legislative conference in San Francisco, California.
Both Viers and Haley attended the conference which was sponsored by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and both were married at the time. Haley is still married, while Viers and his wife have since divorced.
Previously, Haley was accused of having a one-night stand with lobbyist Larry Marchant at a school choice conference in 2008. And prior to that bombshell, blogger Will Folks (our founding editor) admitted under duress to having had what he calls an inappropriate physical relationship with Haley in the Spring of 2007.

The one with the misogynist setting. After all, it's what drives pissant's attacks on Palin and Haley.
Common sense Decoder. Try real hard and you may spot the typo.
My first ping to him is self explanatory. Ditto for the second. The accusers have been outed as workers for her opponent(s), and tied to their campaigns. You’ve answered my question: “YOU can tell she’s lying,” despite the fact no evidence has been presented. LOL.
It’s neither my duty nor my inclination to try “reel-in” pro-Palin posters whom you describe as “nuts.” Sarah can use all the support she can get considering the foul displays that are allowed here at times, which are definitely not entertaining.
My interests are always the same: getting the most conservatives elected to all offices nationwide and that means locally too. In South Carolina, that’s Nikki Haley for Governor and Jim DeMint for US Senator.
You’re losing your good reputation and I hate to see that. :(
To be elected, a conservative must have following adequate to raise money, campaign nationally and get elected.
Duncan Hunter is a great conservative but had none of the above and was never a contender.
Conservative credentials are not at issue. All that matters is the ability to win. That should be apparent now that Obama won.
Crying over spilt milk is non productive.
LOL, going to have to dig way back in the drawer to find that one ;^)
I’m not crying about anything. Like I said, I didn’t bring Hunter up, the Cultists/Fredheads did.
Third Haley Affair Alleged
The title alone is misleading, as it presumes that the other two accusations were accurate, and no evidence has been supplied that they are. But then, the source isn't exactly unbiased:
And prior to that bombshell, blogger Will Folks (our founding editor) admitted under duress to having had what he calls an inappropriate physical relationship with Haley in the Spring of 2007.
I think "admitted under duress" is an odd way of describing the fact that he'd been shopping the story to every rival campaign in the primary for over a year. But then again, FITS is just a vanity press for Folks in the first place, so one should not expect it to be particularly rigorous on that point.
For some reason, Folks is determined to run with the "Haley is a whore" story. But the accusations dragged up so far amount to:
You do realize you are "Pissing-in the wind-Ant" on this subject?
Well, it might have explained itself to itself, but it's a head scratcher to me.
The accusers have been outed as workers for her opponent(s), and tied to their campaigns.
The first accuser is a long time friend and supporter of Haley. The third is also a Haley supporter. She has funny friends, apparently. And like I said before, it is almost unheard of for a conservative man to make up crap like this. But it is far more "heard of" for the accused to issue phony denials. Better off going with the percentages.
despite the fact no evidence has been presented.
2 hour phone calls at 2:00 AM are evidence of something.
Its neither my duty nor my inclination to try reel-in pro-Palin posters whom you describe as nuts. Sarah can use all the support she can get considering the foul displays that are allowed here at times, which are definitely not entertaining.
Cool. Then the entertainment of these worshipers will carry on. I get a kick out of them anyway.
Youre losing your good reputation and I hate to see that.
Apparently it was lost long ago, during the Fredhead-Hunter wars. Which is fine by me. Truth is on my side.
Exactly right.
Which is why you resort to posting scurrilous gossip such as this article. Gotcha.
Yep. 3 conservatives accuse. She gives a shifty eyed denial. You nailed it.
Amazing how anyone who supports your version is a “conservative” and everyone else isn’t.
There is no “shifty eyed denial”; Haley has flat-out denied the previous accusations in direct, no weasel-word language, and the supposed “conservatives” have provided no real evidence of their accusations.
I, for one, prefer to see the evidence before coming to a verdict. I understand the people who live in fantasy worlds don’t always agree with that approach, but to each his own.
The reality is that the South Carolina GOP is a “good old boys” network that is resistant to change from the outside. Different from, but every bit as dangerous to a free society as, the cabal of self-styled elitists in DC. Haley is an “outsider” to this group, and they want to bring her down. It has nothing to do with ideology.
Unfortunately, there is a double standard that will always be. Like it was recently explained to me:
A key that opens many locks is called a Master Key. A lock that is opened by many keys is just a shitty lock.
Yep, those doggone redneck hillbillies just hate womenfolk.
Haley must be a multi-tasker I can barely handle one husband,job and kids.
I'm saying that the SC GOP is against outsiders, regardless of race, creed, color, gender, or ideology.
LOL. How come no one accused me of hating old, bald men when Fred was busy stalking for McQueeg. Funny, I’ve given 5 donations to candidates this year so far. Two are women.
The funny thing about this stuff is that it’s perfectly fine when the left circulates it about Republicans. But let a conservative source mention that a politician is “in the closet” and all hell breaks loose.
He had virtually no statewide recognition either.
I live in Orange County, which borders San Diego county, and one of the issues I have been following is Illegal Immigration and I had never heard of him.
He is still unknown here.
