Whisper campaigns fraught with lies and innuendos were rampant in many races. In the Beaufort County Commissioners race Stan Deatherage and Keith Kidwell, two of Beaufort County's finest, were labeled school yard bullies. I think some believed that, but the worst character assasinations happened through whisper campaigns. I hate those methods, where they look you strait in the eye and lie. But the worst part is that "the people" believe. In Stan's case they believed even though his record of and commitment to saving tax payers their money was non-negotiable. He did that while also voting to make sure that basic needs of the citizens were met. Stan honored his oath to protect and defend the Constitution. I admired his knowledge of the sacred Founding Documents and Colonial History. He was qualified to represent us and did so extremely well and I appreciate his service. I mourn his political demise.
Before voting the citizens of Beaufort County need to ask the candidates themselves if rumors about them are true or false. Don't believe the whisper campaigns, television ads and mailers that carry contagious lies. |

Publisher's note: This thread is done for tonight.
As one may might surmise, some of these replies are slightly out of order by virtue of a time lag between responses. In other words: An answered response is being typed while the respondent is also replying. It is unavoidable.

Sandy, you are restating yourself, and I won't take the time to do the same, so this thread is finished for the rest of the night.

That is readily apparent; however, you are the one that mentioned Ashley's problems with some hit piece from some time ago. Not me.

The anonymous mailings on Ashley were illegal because they had no disclosure disclaimer telling who was responsible for the piece. Since the two mailings were illegal, I never expected you to admit to knowing anything about them. Not because I think you wouldn't do it and not because I don't think you wouldn't just silently sit back when you knew someone was doing it.

No, they wanted you out and Don Cox in. That is apparent. What is about the hit pieces are my comments tonight.

So, again I ask: Are all of these 'Three Stooges' hit pieces about some anonymous 'hit piece' on Ashley?

Do you even care self-proclaimed "principled one" that his kids suffered?

You took just the road I thought you would.

No I don't, and I actually don't have the time to care.
Is this what this is all about; some 'hit piece' on Ashley that I have no knowledge of?

Do you know who mailed the anonymous pieces of mail on Ashley? Let's see how honest you are?

We never posted anything about Ashley's familial problems on BCN.
I just don't tolerate RINOs. Never will. RINOs prove early on that they are not fit to serve or be trusted. I've got my ears perked up now, and we'll see what comes in. I'm not familiar with any 'hit piece' against Ashley. I don't do 'hit pieces. It puts me in an excellent position to judge those that do. Actually, I never worry about stating the truth about anything I know to be true. It's kind of a trait of mine.

OK, Stan. I agree. I hate dirty campaigning. I have been a serious victim and so has my friend Ashley. However, you know who you are dealing with because no anonymous pieces went out on you. Ashley does not know for sure who put out the anonymous "hit piece" on him in 2012 and this past election. They one had no disclaimers. However, we are pretty certain who was involved and you at least know them (if you yourself didn't have something to do about it or knowledge it was coming). The 2012 piece had false allegations in a divorce lawsuit of a prurient nature which have since been proven false. However, Ashley's kids had to hear about it at school and through many tears he had to have a father moment with his kids to explain bad people to his kids. Sad thing was Ashley was only a supporter of that candidate in 2012 and was NOT the candidate. If such campaigning disgusts you, then tell us what you know (or confess if you did a part in it)) and we know you know something and denounce those people, reject them and never support them. A warning from me is much more to be worried about than a warning from you. I have more at my disposal from brains, to money, to knowledge and specialized skills. Anybody who runs for office and has the support of you, Buzz, Hood, etcetera shall be fully investigated and the most personal information will be publicized. Then we shall check their donor list and do the same to donors and major supporters and fellow travelers. Don't you agree information about a candidate and those around him should be public so that the people can vote with knowledge? I do. If it is good enough for your crowd to go after a supporter with viciousness and anonymously as a coward(s), then it is OK for me to do so legally with documentation and disclaimers. Since Ashley's wife and kids were fair game to those around you, if not even you, then wives and kids of candidates and supporters shall be fair game to us. Good luck finding candidates and donors and volunteers, because I am publicly telling my plans. They better be squeeky clean! I know how to legally protect myself and to use it and quite cheap I might add. This is my warning. Give me names or reject those you know did those things. Sandy
