Will. As I recall you first supported her crackdown until it became apparent that it was against the law. Then you went back and whitewashed your previous support from the article. Just saying.
So…the legality of Haley’s position hinged on Will Folks’ initial assessment and the fact that he liked the idea of shutting down the Occupy protests means that our tax money was wisely spent? I’m trying to follow why, as a taxpayer, I should care what Will Folks thought and why this analysis is off-the-mark for not including that irrelevant information.
My comment was not directed towards the substance of the article but rather the author’s credibility.
Does anyone else think “Porta Potty” when reading about the “occupy movement”?
Someone should be charged with keeping a running total of what Haley and her idiot appointees are costing (and will cost) the state of South Carolina with their knee-jerk decisions. Is anyone following the lawsuits filed by the parents of TB-infected students and the DHEC nurses used as scapegoats?
The Insurance Reserve office is responsible for tracking the lawsuits against Haley and her appointees. The number is in the hundreds, most against Catherine Templeton from LLR and now DHEC. Possible liability in the millions.
Is it just another business expense? AKA claiming that her fines were?
The voters should follow Will’s lead and dump Haley.
AMEN SUZANNE!!!!
“It will be a GRET day in SC!
And while we’re at it dump Clyburn and Wilson!!
Obama, Ohaley, Oclyburn, Ohaley= oshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will will endorse Haley just watch and see
The voters should follow Will’s lead and fuck Haley.
She was great while it lasted……
Sloppy 132’s?
Sic 4 Gov.
The Federal Reserve Bank is a corrupt banking cartel.
The U.S. dollar is almost dead.
Compare purchasing power of $1 in 1913 versus $1 today.
Inflation is the cruelest tax.
Many thanks to The Fed and U.S. Congress.
FITS also supported Obama’s litigation against SC’s right for voter integrity. How much did it cost the taxpayers to fight Obama’s racist and corrupt government attorneys???
Did the ignorant and politically wobbly FITS say a F*#kin word when his god-Obama got his stupid @$$ whipped in court???
PS: is burglary, rape and murder OK in Occupy camps, as long as its brutal liberals doing it???…Have not heard the selectively doltish FITS weigh in on his Occupy heroes who think killing and sexual assault are neato-guido, if Karl Marx told them it is…
Look at Dumbass supporting big business and anti-First Admendments rights. Why so you America so much?
HATE^
I’ll take Big business ANY DAY over Big Government. Big Business earns and distributes BIG PAYCHECKS…
Big Government takes Big Chunks of that paycheck to F*#k up (see Obama)…
And Perverting the Constitution is not a First Amendment Right.
Perverting the Consitution? So, you’re down with government even at the state level, having bigger power over assembly? Explan yourself.
You can’t defecate on public property. Even if we do protect the right of anti-American liberals too coward to fight for freedom…you cannot $#!* on what the people earned. And I’ll pick up arms to remove your good for nothing, communist @$$…..
That was a bit exggerated, actually…there was plently of police there to arrest people who were committing actual crimes…right of assembly isn’t one of them, dipshit.
This is the same asshole who was on either on The State or WIS website making threats until a police officer came on and shut this stupid fuck up.
I’ll take Big business ANY DAY over Big Government. Big Business earns and distributes BIG PAYCHECKS…
Yeah, to China, Washington, their shareholders, and CEOs.
Tango’s right about them big paychecks!
Damn, this shit got funny!
And ‘NO’ to Obama, you worthless piece of $#!*..He’s more dangerous than China, Hitler and Stalin rolled into one….because he’s already invaded our country…and using IRS records to persecute.
We have the best politicians money can buy.
I’ll take Big business ANY DAY over Big Government.

and you’ll get both EVERY DAY
The shame is that Trikki doesn’t realize that she keeps throwing good taxpayer money after bad to bad, unethical lawyers who are not telling her what a bad case she has as long as they keep suckling at the state’s teat.
Or, maybe, some of her antipathy towards lawyers has to do with knowing this sorry bunch that she keeps paying are making a fool of her, but she is afraid to fire them because they are so politically well connected.
Maybe it is just me, but if I were a cockroach with unrestricted access to taxpayer’s money I would hire smart lawyers rather than the dumbass sons of bitches the Gypsy Queen has on the payroll
It may not be the Gypsy Queen’s goal but she is well on the way to becoming a turd on a stick – lick it or not
One big-ass turd.
How long and at what cost to the taxpayers did the state fight the Citadel – sex discrimination lawsuit? Another case where politics trumped common sense.
Ahh, The TEA Party. She ain’t spending REAL money, it’s only tax revenue, you know.
YOU BETCHA!
YOU BETCHA!
Funny how Sarah don’t come round here anymore. You Betcha.
I’m sure you could have her over for 50k!
Nice rack, tight butt!
YOU BETCHA!
YOU BETCHA!
Great the hack, Georgia Port Deal, now this all costing us millions of dollars so Queen Haley can get re-elected. Keep supporting this idiot South Carolina you deserve her.
Every day Haley is in office is costing thr tax payers and their childern. She needs to be voted out in 2014.
Occupy..WTH is that?
Oh yeah…I remember that–they were gonna “change the world”. It pretty much ended when it got cold out. I wonder if those fuckers ever got a job, or just went back to their Momma’s?
The justice department needs to issue warrants for the arrest of everyone that falsley Arreasted the protesters starting with Haley.
she violated the Constitution? Wait a minute. I though the GOP was quite expert about the Constitution, at least that is what all conservatives say. Maybe Haley should get some training on how to interpret and understand the Bill of Rights instead of running around trying to impress everyone with how great she is. My , my. Slapped down by the 4th Circuit. Her list of assholisms keeps rising.
The GOP and the Teapublicans understand this about the US Constitution. If they like it its constitutional. If they don’t like it, its not.
the people adversely affected by Haley can and should sue the Great State of South Carolina, en masse, in federal court, for monetary damages.
Just like Haley to put the officers livelyhoods at stake with lawsuits while she hides behind those dreaded trial lawyers she hates so much.
People Please, to be a tea Party darling, this woman has cost the SC taxpayer HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WITH HER LYING, SELL OUT TO GEORGIA PORTS, DOR SECURITY BREACH, ASSANINE APPOINTMENTS AND BIG GOVERNMENT BUDGETS, USING SECURITY DETAILS AS GOFERS AND TAXIS TO RAISE CAMPAIGN FUNDS!!!!
Please wake up and vote her out.
From her we lip service and empty promises, that is all!!
And not the kind of lip service given Will Folks and Larry Marchant!!!
Call Butch!!!
This is the extent of Teabagger smarts for you. Wasting more money in their attempt to dismantle the US Constitution. Stupidity knows no bounds in the Teabaggers ranks.
An agreement had been worked out to just issue tickets to the Occupy protestors and let them go home. Everything had already been removed from the Statehouse grounds but the protesters themselves in preparation for that. Rain was predicted so nobody wanted to be loading up and storing a lot of camping gear, which would be of no benefit to anyone. At the last minute, in violation of advice form law enforcement and attorneys, the Governor ordered actual custodial arrests. The jail and court wasn’t ready, so everyone had to scramble, producing more expense and delay. What could have been a short, symbolic trial with little or no financial exposure to the state was turned into a serious liability. Completely unnecessary.
