Today’s award (and if I make this a regular feature, I’m going to have to come up with a zippier name for it) goes to Henry McMaster, who is determined not to let those other Republicans out-extreme him. His latest Tweet:
Join our fight to defeat enemies of individual liberty & state sovereignty in Obama administration & Congress! http://is.gd/aWy7c #sctweets
It almost sounds like the kind of unself-consciously stilted rhetoric you hear from Marxist revolutionaries, like “Join us in Vanguard of resistance to plots of the running dog imperialists!” or some such.
“ENEMIES” no less. “Enemies of individual liberty.” Wow.
None of this sounds like the Henry McMaster who has been such a commonsense attorney general (especially compared to his predecessor) these last few years, the guy who stood steadfastly with McCain against party extremists in 2008.
Yet another step along the disturbing path I described back here…

Good point on McMaster sounding like a different guy now. One could also say: “Isn’t this the same Henry McMaster that was endorsed by the Sierra Club and the unions down in Charleston? The same Henry McMaster that was such a “bridge-builder” in 2006 that the Democrats didn’t bother putting up a challenge to him in part because so many Democrats were happy with the job he was doing?”
I was in Myrtle Beach a few weekends ago and saw a Gresham Barrett commercial. Now, if I didn’t know who Barack Obama was, getting information from the Barrett commercial, it would seem that Barrett is running against Obama to be Governor of SC!
@Ralph –LOL! Read to husband, too.
I am currently staring at a Henry McMaster ad on Slashdot, one of the original blogs for computer techies. The ad may change, but the link is: http://ask.slashdot.org/story/10/05/06/2122252/How-Do-You-Handle-Your-Keys
Slashdot has an international readership for those that are interested in technology, science, etc. “News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters” is their tagline.
