Given her rapid descent into big spending crony capitalism, it’s easy to forget that this website’s founding editor used to work for S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley (back when she was a fiscally conservative state lawmaker). In fact Will Folks (a.k.a. Sic Willie) helped transform her from a relatively unknown, unaccomplished rural lawmaker into a credible statewide candidate in less than a year’s time.
How did he do that? Sage advice like this.
Anyway, back in 2007 when Folks was still working “under” Haley (ba doom ching), she used to love telling the story of a particular mobile home located in Red Bank, S.C. – one of the holes in the ground she “represented.” According to the future governor, vandals would repeatedly spray paint the words “Welcome to Red Bank” in bright red letters on the front of the manufactured housing unit – enraging local residents.
Haley would make a few calls, the red letters would be painted over, and then the vandals would strike again … a vicious cycle if we’ve ever heard of one.
Anyway, suffice it to say that Red Bank is home to some interesting folks – one of whom has decided to weigh in on a fierce battle for the top spot of the “Republican” party in Lexington County.
Lexington County? Yeah … these guys.
The candidate receiving love in his “high-profile” race? William “Bill” Rentiers, who apparently fashions himself as some sort of Rambo …
Take a look at this pic posted to his Facebook page …
Rentiers also has a daughter named “Destiny” (rrrrawr) who appears to be an aspiring Rambo (Rambette?) herself …
(Click to enlarge)
Solid …
Anyway, despite sources who tell us he’s “certifiable for the nut house,” we’re sure Bill is a nice enough guy and we like the fact he’s championing a strong Second Amendment platform (like us). We also like Destiny. A lot.
What do we not like? The flagrant race-bating that’s being used on behalf of Rentiers against Dino Teppera, a former staffer to U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson who is also (for reasons surpassing understanding) seeking this position.
In an email to Lexington County “Republicans,” Red Bank resident Lee Canaday refers to Teppera as “a recent immigrant to the country who has been working in D.C. for many years and has only moved to Lexington County in the last few months.”
Translation? Teppera “ain’t from ’round here.”
“I congratulate him on his becoming an American citizen last year but I hardly think we need someone so completely inexperienced with the workings of our state and county,” Canaday adds.
Exactly … because people from Lexington are such geniuses.
Look, we don’t know either of these candidates from holes in the wall – and our level of interest in the outcome of this race is roughly the same as our level of interest in whether or not the spray paint on Red Bank’s famous mobile home makes (another) appearance. Also for what it’s worth we’ve never been supporters of Teppera’s former boss.
Still … it’s race-baiting crap like this that continues to eat (what’s left of) the GOP from the inside. Well … that and the party’s total lack of commitment to fiscal conservatism.

I think Rentiers is a ‘died-in-the-wool’ FITS-ian Libertarian….
Could there be a rift in the land of heroin-on-demand, rampant legal ho’s and American soldiers should be hated…???
When FITS bashes Rentiers, insinuates he is a nutjob….what does that say about Sanford, Ron-Paul and FITS???
The sun’s out, let’s hit Zestos for some ice cream!
Sorry: I’m VERY HAPPILY married, Cindy (and I’m not a Sanford.)
God, I just wanted to be friends. Nobody else here wants to hang with you. Well, your loss…
There, there Cindy…time heals all wounds. No need to let your hurt get the best of you…and if it’s any consolation, you are not the first I’ve had to say “no” to…
Big T says ‘no’ cause he’s a Big Fag,and loves the cock.We’re working on a butthole baby.I’ve been fucking his big ass 2 or 3 times a day,but I wish he didn’t like to cuddle so much,afterwards…
He’s extremely jealous.Last time I went to rut with him,I had dick breath,but we made-up the fun way,and he played his new getcha back song.He’s a chore,but that’s the way love is…

Dang, BigT! A nice lady asks you out and you push her away????
9″ , can you find a cure for what ails BigT? I know you have something for him.
You may want to stop by Walgreen’s for T’s meds while you are out and about.
Is this finally the proof that BigT is made up?!?! Use the wrong handle on that one maybe?
Now son, we discussed this last night. If you are going to talk to your friends on the internet, you need to speak in sentences that make any sense at all. This is not making any sense. Now be a big boy and clean up your basement “command center”.
When are people going to stop bashing Ron Paul? It ranks right up there with continuing to blame Bush for everything. Tired and pedestrian comes to mind.
Telling the truth about Ron Paul is “Bashing”….it’s actually kinda fresh…most people are Ron Paul apologists, because he hurts Conservatives..

Maybe I missed it while skimming the article a couple of times but WHAT EXACTLY are these two running for? County Council Chairman, Sheriff, or what????
Whatever the position, I think my vote will go to Rentiers. We have quite a lot more than enough of Joe Wilson’s cronies running things in this county, already.
B-but, Joe means jobs!
Right, it does, … for his family, friends, and other cronies!
You got that half-right…
Did anyone also realize that mr. Teppara is part of the top management at scdew???
I didn’t until just now, but I appreciate the info! Thank You, WC!

A skank from Red Bank. Who would have thought it possible.
Also, she is a fan of ICP, so she’s certifiable.
I wish I had a nickel for every overweight redneck hoe I’ve come across in a Waffle house with ICP tats of their “nickname” on their wrists, arms, etc.
At least this one takes care of herself…but agreed…ICP is usually a solid indicator of batshit crazy.
You stupid fucks need to shut your silly fuckin mouths… she’s a good friend of mine, and you bitches are lucky you have a veil of ambiguity afforded by our great internet. Go get fucked
Go get fucked? Sure, just let me know which corner your mom is on.
I guess it takes a big person such as yourself to remind us that we can still act like children after high school. You should be proud. I’m sure your family supports your judgements passed on the Internet. See you Sunday morning right?
Granby Park?
What the hell is wrong with you!!! so you even know these ppl to talk about them like that!!! YOU ARE TRASH!!!

Have a distant cousin on step brother’s side of his estranged family who works for Eljer. He claims that they are coming out with a new toilet model called the “Lexington”
The company expects big sales given the fact that the “Lexington” will accommodate at least 30% more turds that anything else out there

Well, Will, she has transformed into a relatively known, but still unaccomplished lawmaker, unless you’re from Georgia.
Oh, and no credibility at all.

Geez, Will, that’s a juggalette right there, man. See other comments, below. She may or may not like the attention from you. Either way, you maybe should have just ignored her.

This entire website is a damned joke.

Mr. Folks: Just this morning I heard about your “hit piece” on me, on Red Bank, and on Lexington County. (I suppose I should thank FITSnews for pushing me over the top in the race for LCGOP Chairman, since I won today.) I particularly like your choice in photos of me, as this one was a gift from the art department of a company I once worked for, and I am able to laugh at myself. Politics is a contact sport, and I make a point to “wear a cup” (proverbially). I have pretty thick skin. I’m not pleased with your comments about my daughter, and I apologized to her for your article, but I suppose this sort of thing comes with the territory. I do not however, see how you can claim the letter of support from Mr. Canaday is “race baiting” when the immigrant in question is not of another race, merely a recent immigrant, and therefore less likely to understand our county – a fact which Mr. Canaday points out clearly. We are working hard to clean up the image of Lexington county, and though we’ve met with heavy opposition from the big government statist crowd, we are making strides. If you would like to contact me at any point in the future for…I don’t know….some FACTS maybe? Feel free to contact me directly. You know how to reach me.
Love you daddy! Congrats on the win! I too like his choice of photos. I look great holding that AR and I like how he cut the rest of the wording off your “Rambo” pic so people couldn’t see the joke behind it. As for the comments he and everyone else made about me….Grow up people!
“Grow up people” Thats asking way too much of the scumbags who infest this website.

I know Mr. Rentiers and his family, I am luck to call them friends!!! I can only hope y’all get to know him and his values as I have had the honor of doing!!!
