The person who introduced him mentioned the Communist Party.... I already have a very low opinion of Senator Richard Blumenthal for his lie about having served in Vietnam, aka stolen valor, and his left-wing voting record. But I don’t think the senator, a graduate of Harvard College and Yale Law School, is stupid enough to have attended as a celebration of the 102nd anniversary of the Communist Party USA “surprise guest” without realizing it was a celebration of the 102nd anniversary of the Communist Party USA. Yet, that’s what he is doing. I wrote about the Senator gushing that he...

The fabled Bishopville swamp creature known as Lizard Man appears to have surfaced again Sunday afternoon. Sarah, a Sumter woman who says she went to church with a friend Sunday morning, stepped out of the sanctuary to see the Lizard Man running along the tree line. So, she did what anyone else would do--took a picture with her phone. "My hand to God, I am not making this up," she wrote in an email to the WCIV newsroom. "So excited!"

SUMTER, S.C. -- A suspect is in custody in connection with last week's shooting death of a man who became famous in 1988 as the first one to report a sighting of the legendary Lizard Man. Lakiem Davar Butler, 19, turned himself in to police in connection with Wednesday's fatal shooting.

In the silence of the night, Lizard Man managed to chew the hell out of the hood, grill and wheel wells.

Lizard Man is a reported seven-foot tall beast with green skin...

BISHOPVILLE, SC (WIS) - After a nasty surprise Thursday morning for one Bishopville resident, she's wondering if the "Lizard Man" is back. Dixie Rawson of Bishopville sent WIS News 10 an e-mail about a big surprise she got at her home Thursday morning. "The whole front half of our van is chewed up. There are bite marks right through the front grill. Both sides of the van above the wheel wells were bitten and the metal is bent like a piece of paper." It reminded Dixie of the local legend of the "Lizard Man" that stretches back for decades. Now...
