THREATENING VOICEMAIL TARGETED EX-STAFFER WHO ALLEGEDLY UNCOVERED CAMPAIGN FINANCE “IRREGULARITIES”
Not many people know this, but South Carolina Bible-thumper and Tea Party panderer Sheri Few’s campaign for state superintendent of education was run by a foul-mouthed New Jerseyite named Rick Shaftan.
Nothing wrong with foul-mouthed New Jerseyites, obviously (we know a few we’re quite fond of actually) … but Few is one of those “freaky for Jesus” types who never misses an opportunity to impose her sanctimoniousness on the rest of us.
Anyway, Few’s campaign paid Mountaintop Media – Shaftan’s company – nearly $30,000 in the months leading up to the June 10 “Republican” primary election, which saw Few finish third in an eight-way race.
Now … what do we care about some hypocritical “Republican” hiring an ineffective out-of-state flack?
Absolutely nothing …
Well, except for this voicemail Shaftan left recently for Lauren Stephens, a former Few staffer.
Enjoy …

“Are you out of your fucking mind?” Shaftan asks Stephens in the voicemail. “You better call me right back you’re creating some serious long-term problems for yourself that I know you don’t want to create. So … you might wanna call back right away.”
Whoa …
What prompted this spewing of vitriol?
According to our sources, Stephens quit working for Few not long after she uncovered alleged “irregularities” in campaign spending and coordination.
Interesting …
Stay tuned … FITS is attempting to locate Stephens in an effort to see if she can elaborate on the “irregularities” she witnessed while working on Few’s campaign. In fact our guess is S.C. State Ethics Commission (SCSEC) members might be interested in that information as well.

Dogma will out.
Yesterday,your dogma almost got run over by my karma. Again.
I once got run over someone’s karma. After some doctrine, I was all better.
There’s a hole in defense.
These low rent political consultants all see themselves as the next “king maker” but in reality most if them are inept, untrustworthy, and lazy.
Send them all to Mars and we will be better off.
It’s a racket. But, since they’re preying on those who are usually truly evil, I don’t have much of a problem with it.
Send them all to Mars and we will be better off.
If we do, NASA still won’t be able to find intelligent life on Mars.
Unfortunately, Obama/Bush/Nixon cut NASA’s budget. The guy who planned the Apollo projects had a plan to send us to mars by the 1980s. His plan was not adopted and now we can’t even send a guy to low earth orbit.
You hit the Nail on the head.
LOL. Someone should tell these guys that the real world doesn’t work like House of Cards. When people are threatened, they usually do something in retaliation (in this case, leak the threats) rather than cave in.
She’s more fucking moralistic than the other cocksuckers seeking the position!
She’s probably got some Christian dick sucking metaphors that would make Damned Tango’s tongue turn black and fall out.
SAY IT AIN’T SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not until he wiggles it around, licks his chops, and says “Hmmm. good to the last drop!”
Why not just reprint the obits from the State
No profanity and certainly no threat
These characters are out of California – who gives a gull wing fuck what they think,say or do
Well, it shouldn’t be hard for you to find Stephens…where else could you have gotten a voice mail left on her phone, except from her?
Unless, you’re hacking phones like the News Corp UK people…
NITRAT………..bravo, bravo, bravo….!!!!!
Ya know…..as a matter of full “disclosure” shouldn’t Wil Folks publish his cell phone records…?
“Bible Thumper’s Consultant Leaves Profane, Threatening Message”
Considering the context, I believe you are using the term “Bible Thumper” as a slur on Christians. Someone might also get the impression that you are appalled by profanity.
nah… it’s obviously about hypocrisy.
Then, I shouldn’t take it personally?
No… by all means… take it personally! :)
———“nah… it’s obviously about hypocrisy.”———
Hypocrisy is a very convenient accusation. It’s way to condemn someone for doing something that the accuser does. Besides, Shaftan isn’t a Bible Thumper. He’s from New Jersey where profanity is the native tongue.

Jesus was an early Christian pioneer of that technique… a role model, so to speak.
Big difference. Jesus lived up to the standards that he accused the scribes and Pharisees of failing. Matthew 23:23 …. justice and mercy and faith…
oh.. ok.
That whole judge not thing doesn’t apply?
Your tears are delicious.
When TBG first saw the headline…he was suitably impressed.
BT’s got a consultant… (albeit one that needs to be reined in.)
*sage nod*
*******************************************************************************
Always figured FITS for having a couple minions…
Euwe probably has an acolyte or two…
Jimlewisowb has his BOB’s posse… (nah….TBG spelled it right, JLOWB. Sorry)
Branton has some William Parcher types.
Mike@the Beach and The Colonel must have some groupies.
GT has his….long suffering mom…
***********************************************************************************
Full Disclosure:
TBG’s gotst tribes.
PRO TIP:
Don’t eff with TBG or they’ll go all “Littlebighorn/USSLiberty on ya!
It wouldn’t be proper for me to be profane. That’s why I need a consultant when profanity is necessary.
This is another ‘link” that doesn’t play…
Turn on volume at status bar. Click the far left. Volume is on far right of bar.
Thanks, but volume was on high but the play box doesn’t work for me. This is about the 7th link in an article that didn’t work, but most of them do. I’m sure that they all have been interesting.
Didn’t work on my DROID phone but did on my PC. You didn’t miss anything.
It doesn’t work for me in Firefox, but it does if I switch to IE Tab. Odd.
It’s OK for the Republican Bible Thumpers to express themselves in such terms but not the Democratic heathens. God does, indeed, favor the right. Don’t you know?
Finally…something worth reading on this website. Few reminded me of a coked up Palin on steroids.
Ah, the machinations of the kooky politicians.
Yo, dat’s a nice lookin’ bridge ya got der. Be a shame if sumfin’ was to happen to it.
This sounds more like a Canadien Redneck, but it’s a solid effort.
Audio doesn’t work for me. :
Thanks, it did work. I’m on Win 8 and clicked the ‘compatibility view’ icon. Sorry, but that guy sounds like an asshole.
…that guy sounds like an asshole…
He is a political consultant from Jersey…
*knowing nod*
ya gotta play in on internet explorer. doesn’t work in firefox.
Someone cussed in a political campaign???????? Why isn’t the International media covering this story?
….and Jesus said, “Are you out of your fucking mind? If you do not believe I am the son of God you’re creating some serious long-term problems for yourself.”- The Lost Epistles, Chapter 7, Verse 420
Hey FITS EVER hear of FREE SPEECH..or is that something Liberal-Tarians reserve ONLY for yourselves?
You must not have read that Brilliant column on Sanford: http://scdigest.blogspot.com/2014/06/five-year-anniversary-of-sanfords.html
It addresses the ugliness of piety.
Anyway: I would not lose any sleep over your judgmental, if I were the “Bible-Thumper”…because of an attack from the character-deficient….
Hey, buddy! Why don’t you score an interview with Few, Sanford, or ANYBODY. That might put you’re shitty blog(?) in the forefront instead of offering your lame ass editorializing of the obvious.
That thing really P!$$#$ you off, doesn’t it?….LMAO….Hahahahaha….
Have you ever looked at Shrew Few’s employment or method of earning money? As far as I can see, she has never actually worked. Shrew Few creates organizations or committed that live off donations or tax payer funds.
