  WorldNetDaily: 'Invade a home
and invite a bullet'
  (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In declaring an "open season" on burglars who break into homes, South Carolina Attorney General Charlie Condon has instructed all solicitors, sheriffs and police chiefs in the state to refrain from arresting "citizens acting to defend their homes" with a firearm or other weapon.
In a statement released yesterday, Condon's office said the attorney general sent a memorandum to all state prosecutors and law enforcement officials warning them not to arrest or prosecute people who defend themselves with "deadly force" against a "home invader."
Condon's policy appears to reflect the sentiment of most police chiefs and sheriffs across the country.

Charlie Condon has made a career out of pandering to extreme elements of the GOP: the pro-lifers, Christian conservatives and the far right.
Even worse are the Condon backers at the Council of Conservative Citizens, the group that organized many of the rallies to keep the Confederate flag flying on the State House dome.
Condon's home invasion policy made him the object of ridicule on national television after he told 60 Minutes that a homeowner had the right to kill someone who broke in to steal his property -- even if the criminal was unarmed and running away at the time.

Condon said in a statement released by his campaign that the criticisms are unfair, but "the fact that the other candidates are attacking me just shows that this movement to end property taxes is gaining momentum.
Wingate said he was furious and disappointed with Condon, but not with the other candidates who have tax plans of their own because they've "come out in the light of day" to explain their proposals.
Condon said his plan would save taxpayers $500 million without harming local services because the money can be replaced "by closing loopholes on the sales tax, cutting overhead of local governments by 5 percent, and reducing the cost of state government by merging overlapping agencies" under Cabinet secretaries.

 Poll Artificially Props Condon
Condon’s campaign is publicizing the poll as evidence of support for his candidacy after he formed his leadership team of people from all across South Carolina.
The poll “analysis” concludes that Charlie Condon is in the “strongest electoral position in the race at this time.” Again, the door is left wide open that someone else either in the race already or a new candidate can overtake him in the polls.
While it is true that Condon has enormous name recognition statewide and has a solid conservative base of supporters, especially in Charleston, I think it is a bit premature to declare that he will automatically be victorious in the U.S. Senate race next year.

 Joel Mowbray on South Carolina Gubernatorial Race on National Review Online
The race between the two men, former U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford and current Attorney General Charlie Condon, was seen as the race to watch — for who would get second place and secure a spot in the runoff for the shot to take on incumbent Democrat Gov. Jim Hodges.
Condon's fall from grace was nothing short of miraculous news for Sanford's campaign.
The Democratic chair squealed that if Condon were the nominee, "We could take the whole month of October off." Which brings us back to the press conference, where front-runner Peeler was nowhere to be found.
