Disappointed in Chuck caving and I know him well.

I'll probably call and ask him what exactly it is that he's referencing. Chuck is a good guy so I can only assume that he knows something that the rest of us are not privy-to.

It is disconcerting to me that he leads, in his statement, with "appeared to be" .... and my first reaction is that this has turned into a Kavanaugh level character assassination type shite show and that is unfortunate.

I don't know Caslan well but I've met him twice through friends of his, West Point friends. The man has an impeccable reputation and deserves respect. Questioning his character and integrity is not acceptable.

There are going to be a lot of disenfranchised alumni and donors if the board continues down this path. Voting him down is one thing. Questioning his honor and integrity is quite another.

If anyone should have ever had their honor and integrity questioned it was Pastides. Yet Harris escaped relatively unscathed and continues to orchestrate this uprising against qualified candidates who do not align with him politically.

This is a very dangerous precedent being set and one that none of us should be in favor of. Politicizing this search will backfire on the university.

Your predispositions toward learning very far left wing is noted GetCocky11 and I get that your ilk cares not for the peaceful process and acceptable decorum that has governed this process for over a century now.

You should learn to be careful of what you wish for.

What the actual f u c k is this? You are so full of s h i t. You are actually trying to say that how this particular process has been pushed, is the process "that has governed this process for over a century now"....

Haley replaced Darla Moore with Tommy Cofield. The Governor of SC by law is an "ex officio" member of the USC board of trustees. Due to their own work schedule as Governor, they are allowed to name a "designee" member who sits on the board for meetings in their stead.

The conspiracy theory has been that Haley removed one of USC's (if not THE) largest and longest donors in Darla Moore, and put Cofield in her place. This took place in 2011 I believe. The theory goes that Cofield served as sort of a "spy", reporting things back to Haley such as major project schedules for our IPF and FB Ops bldg. schedules, and Haley in turn reported that info to the Clemson BOT so they could get the jump on USC and have their own facility upgrades completed earlier, and get the advantage.

I dunno if any of that is true, and USC was pretty much diligent in reporting the phases of approvals for such projects publicly, so it wasn't exactly secret info to begin with. Cofield left the USC BOT last year...possibly replaced by McMaster's "designee", Dan Adams...

How the frick do you call facts a conspiracy theory? Fact: Haley replaced the top alumni with one of her own for absolutely no reason now the rest is speculation but it doesn't require a IQ above 40 to read between the lines.

Did you bother reading the op's opening comments where he slammed the conservative gop? No it doesn't fit your agenda to just fight and think you know better. You owe SCRooster an apology but I doubt you're man enough to give one.

With all so respect did you bother to read your opening post on this thread. You clearly bashed the conservative's which absolutely only leads one to believe you're a left-wing liberal. You may not have meant for it to imply you're liberal but thats how it reads.
Don't jump Rooster because you made a statement incorrectly.

I am fairly certain that you understand exactly the message I wished to convey.
quote:

You are so full of s h i t.

... and your mother is full of d o n k e y d I c k. From which you obviously sprang.

There, let the insults fly f u c k t a r d.
quote:

I am not "trying to say" anything. I unequivocally typed it and put it in the written record you s n o t n o s e d f u c k I n g m e n t a l m I d g e t.

You lefties dragged this into the modern political arena of dirty discourse and in the process you are trying to, not only destroy a good man's reputation but, you're trying to paint McMaster's initiative as some sort of politically motivated attempt to disrupt the process which is exactly opposite of what he was/is trying to do. He, and many of us, just want a frickING VOTE!

Of course you "people" want to dictate the terms. You want your fellow kiddies and the socialist professor and accreditation influencers to dictate the process and the eventual hire to the rest of us.

McMasters had the right to call for a vote. He had the absolute right to do exactly what he did. He made zero attempts to influence the vote one way or the other. Pastides and a handful of your fellow far left radical libtards, being orchestrated by Pastides and Clyburn, are the actual ones influencing the vote you h y p o c r i t i c a l a s s c l o w n.

There has not been a situation such as this since Holderman was ousted and Art Smith was brought in until Palms was hired .... and even that was handled better than this because back then we at least had a Board of Trustees with balls.

Not even the post Civil War reconstruction process was this contentious. Not even close. Read your UofSC history you i g n o r a n t a s s h a t.

There, hopefully I typed that in a format which you might understand.

And yeah I'll debate state politics and UofSC history with you any time anywhere.

frick every s h I t h e a d like you and your pal GetCocky11 that wants to drag this into your far left socialist gutter.

I get the politics, I get the state of things in this country today .... but frick dragging the University into this bullshite over some "McMaster's Collusion" false narrative. 90% of the people out there have had enough of those s h I t s h o w tactics.

ETA: And f u c k y o u for pissing me off this badly. It didn't have to go here I'm just God damned tired of seeing GetCock11 continue to push his clueless narrative.

ETA2: And frick Nikki Haley.

I'll make a deal with you Conway.

You show me anywhere in our history where bringing in a new President has been this contentious and controversial and I'll find, somewhere in my personal library, the citations to prove you wrong.

I'll also find citations within our constitution to prove that McMasters did not operate outside of the parameters of his position.

I own a complete, definitive, first edition of the history of the state of SC which covers every aspect of the founding and progression of USC through 1919. And I also own the complete volume, broken down to a quantum level, of our state constitution and every iteration it's ever been through including every power the governor's office holds with respect to our BoTs.

You try to prove your case that my original claim was incorrect and I'll prove you wrong and provide citations, pictures of pages, to back it up.

Ready when you are.

See that Walt Edgar on your shelf. Took his class in 2006. Outstanding S.C. historian.

Carry on!

Hell, I've known Walt since his first year at SC. He gave me that autographed very personalized copy and I've probably read it five times. The shelf below that has another few volumes of his work.

He adopted SC as his but he's actually an Alabama boy by birth. I went to his retirement ceremony.... he gave me a copy of Partisans and Redcoats shortly afterwards and I bought several more copies and gave them to friends.

I need to call him and see how he is doing tomorrow. He didn't make it to my aunt's memorial and I recently heard he was having some health issues .... which we all have with age.

He is one incredible guy to sit down and talk with. Always reminded me of a younger Shelby Foote, who I also was fortunate enough to have known.

ETA: He would say "don't call me Walt" if he read this but if he was talking to you third person he would call himself Walt. I always get a kick out of that.

He is a great guy. Old school southerner. I always liked how he called his students Mr./Ms. Hope he’s doing well, so if you do talk to him, please post an update.

The only corrupt people I'm seeing is people, like yourself, with liberal thoughts. South Carolina, as a state, is strong and no where as corrupt as say Atlanta, Detroit,Chicago , San Francisco and LA.also Louisiana ( their history is the epitome of corruption).Look what party has ran this state and then look at the party that ran the above mentioned cities.
