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 …

(Click bar to play)

 

“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.

Developing …

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.

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.

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.

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…

“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.”———
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.

Bible Thumper June 24, 2014 at 9:41 pm

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…

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.

It wouldn’t be proper for me to be profane. That’s why I need a consultant when profanity is necessary.

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?

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….

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.
