TARGET DRAWN ON THE BACK OF PALMETTO “REPUBLICAN” LEADER …
The political empire scheming to protect embattled S.C. attorney general Alan Wilson is threatening to “take out” the chairman of the South Carolina “Republican” party for perceived disloyalty.
What did SCGOP chairman Matt Moore do? For starters, he refused to back Wilson’s ongoing efforts to shut down a criminal investigation into alleged public corruption at the S.C. State House – an investigation Wilson previously recused himself from due to undisclosed conflicts of interest.
Wilson’s angry, amateur hour efforts to justify his obstruction of the probe have been roundly rebuked in and out of the Palmetto political bubble. Most view his actions as nothing but a desperate bid to derail the likely indictment of multiple sitting lawmakers who are reportedly affiliated with neo-Confederate political consultant Richard Quinn.
Moore? He’s become a convenient target for Wilson and Quinn – who were hoping to turn the attorney general’s obstructionism into a partisan scrape against S.C. first circuit solicitor David Pascoe.
The plot against Moore would reportedly be hatched this May – at the state party’s annual convention. And while its specific maneuvers have yet to be discussed, the ominous warnings are already floating around the South Carolina capital complex.
“Was told Moore is done as chair,” one well-connected political insider told us. “They are going after him at the convention.”
Moore is still in the first year of his latest two-year term as party chairman – meaning any effort to unseat him would have to wait until next spring. The Quinn forces could conceivably push a resolution of censure as a way to embarrass Moore – although we’re told convention delegates have been supportive of his decision to stay out of the Wilson debacle.
As we’ve stated repeatedly, we have no use for “Republicans.” The party is dead, as far as we’re concerned. As for Moore, we’ve expressed concern regarding his proximity to supporters of former establishment GOP frontrunner Marco Rubio.
But whatever we think of Moore – or his motivations for staying out of the Wilson scrape – he made the right decision not to get involved.
This is a matter that must be handled by the courts. Or, assuming they fail, by the federal prosecutors reportedly overseeing the state investigation.

Good. Get his phony ass out of here. Make him take dufus Delinda with him so she can stop scaming I mean living off the party.
Moore is one of the few sane, reasonable people in SC politics. Good for him for standing against this kind of garbage.
Wilson has till the end of this week to file a response to Pascoe’s 3-25-16 filings.
Admittedly I know next to nothing about this guy but i am sure not hating the position he took against Wilson’s meddling at best, corrupt influencing at worst.
“The Quinn forces could conceivably push a resolution of censure as a way to embarrass Moore”
Huh? Seriously…how do you write this BS, Will? There’s no way in hell that Moore is the one getting embarrassed right now. I believe the embarrassment is pointed directly at “The Quinn forces” or “Quinn-dom,” as you put it. To argue otherwise would clearly show your ignorance.
Those guys are loony-tunes. Trying to throw any mud against the wall in order to cover their asses. Matt’s done a fine job. Just because he wouldn’t carry their water they want to lash out? Dolts.
Would anyone like to donate to a soap on a rope fund? I’m pretty sure several cases will be purchased.
I might be able to donate my services,but will need Astroglide or at least,K-Y
Soap causes burning and chafing
Alan rebutted on Tuesday…well at least my pappy Joe was in
the know and wasn’t found to be lying
You know—he didn’t stab SC conservatives by sticking his
head up RINOs Boehner and Paul Ryan
And at least he said Hell no we won’t rip down the flag of patriots
by NOT letting YOU get to vote
And he didn’t give the most incompetent presiDENT in history
fast-track and try to make you a goat
Yep…he and mammy refused that taxpayer-PAID vacation to
Hawaii—their most modest move to date
And of course we KNOW you’ll be slow and reelect Joe and me
the next chance you get…NO…WAIT !!!
YAWN!…..you posted the same EXACT stupid drivel in other articles on this subject today and yesterday.
Come up with something new or get lost, jackass!
alan thought calling everyone else a jackass would bring him fame and friends
But alas he came off as the degenerate he was and looked like a jackass’ rear end !!!
As much as I favored bringing down the Confederate flag, the Neo-Confederate slant is getting a bit stale. After all Rick Quinn voted to bring down the flag as did most of the other Quinn clients. How many of them are Neo-Confederates now?
FBI agents in SC are clueless. But not DOJ in Washington, DC. Hot Mic, Boys. Hot Mics.
In a field full of lice, Matt stands apart as a decent, smart man. He’ll be fine, as he deserves to be. Don’t derail from hating on an actual louse (Wilson) to drag Matt Moore into the silliness. He doesn’t deserve it.
