While no one agrees with everything a candidate for political office says, most people don’t respond by making threatening phone calls or breaking into the candidate’s house.
Mark Bennett, the 22-year-old running for S.C. House District 105 against three other Republicans, said he experienced some constituent hostility Saturday night, when he was the victim of three separate personal attacks including a break-in.
“I don’t know if they are all related, but I think it’s a big coincidence that after one, the others would happen,” the candidate said Sunday.
Bennett said after campaigning door to door Saturday, he met up with his wife, Anita, to go to dinner. As they were driving, just before 7:30 p.m., he received a call on his cell phone. A woman, who refused to identify herself, yelled at Bennett for 19 minutes over his stance on road improvement priorities in Horry County, he said. The last sentence the woman said to him was what really bothered the Bennetts, who were listening on the speaker phone.
“She said that she would hunt me down and yell at me in person and harm me in some way, and that she would make sure I was never elected to an office in Horry County,” Bennett said.
He and his wife went to dinner, but as he thought about it, Bennett said he decided talking to the police couldn’t hurt and filed a report at the Conway Police station while his wife went home. When his wife arrived at their Conway home, she found the front door had been kicked in.
“My wife called me while I was at the police station, and I sped home, followed by a police officer,” Bennett said. “Whoever it was, they didn’t take anything. The computer was there, the television was there, all my wife’s jewelry was there. They just left one of my campaign signs with a smiley face painted on it in the middle of the floor.”
Officials at the Conway Police Department confirmed Bennett filed an incident report for harassing phone calls and breaking-and-entering. Police said they did not know if the incidents were related.
“I mean, that’s intimidation, and it’s frightening. The thing is, Mark’s message is so spot on, he’s getting threats from people who disagree,” Matt Jarfi, a friend and campaign adviser to Bennett, said.
Bennett said he noticed Sunday morning that most of his political posters and signs were gone.
“If this is all related, then the weirdest thing to me is that the road-construction priorities are not something I would be able to change. They’re a county issue, and I’m running for a state office,” he said. “But this isn’t going to stop me from campaigning or from running.”

Give Them Hell Mark, Take This Country Back At Any Level That We Can………Good To See Your Face On Here………Will Talk Back At You In Conway…………Your Indian Supporter……………Wahoo
June 9th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Evil is everywhere slithering like serpents.
I wonder what sort of satanic ritual they conducted at the Bilderberg meeting. This sort of violence against a political candidate is nothing short of the devil’s work.
May all the workers of such evil be cursed and driven from the face of the earth.
June 9th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Yes… this is how we shall take this country back. All those intellectually able to do so, step up and join the political scene. We have more to lose by NOT doing anything!
June 9th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
LOL. That sounds like what one of my coworkers babbled on about when we were discussing Ron Paul. He said someone in Texas claimed Ron Paul raised taxes in one count and gave the money to another. Well, Ron Paul has never raised taxes and has never held a position that had jurisdiction at a county level. SIGH
June 9th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
People have actually become violently brainwashed. They think Ron Paul is some kind of terrorist. This is horrendous.
June 9th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
I think a $ bomb for mark bennett is a good idea. I also think this guy needs to be on A.J’s show.They need to get him on soon. I cannot find a web page for this fella.If anyone does please post it. Thanks.
June 9th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
WOOT GO MARK BEnnet! i bet it was some lefty radical still living in the 60’s thinking she/he was messing with a a racist when she doesn’t realise illegal immigration hurts people.
June 9th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
I don’t remember which person signed the founding documents but I think the youngest was between 22-27 years old. Go Mark!
June 9th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Many of us were weaned on these political scare tactics here in NH done by democrats or corrupt republicans. We have learned to ignore them and keep on going. We even have the newspapers lying about how many police reports we’ve filed and the AG’s office who refuses to prosecute the criminals. We’ve had our lives threatened and our lines cut…we know what this man is going to be going through.
June 9th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
What an admirable man! I wish him success.
June 9th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Mark Bennet seems like a pretty cool dude. More power to ya Mark, fight the corruption.
June 9th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
YEAH!!! You tell them!!
June 9th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
That entire county is corrupt bud. They’ve bugged your house too probably.
Your best bet is to move to another county.

Not sure it this works, but it’s a start. I only live an hour away from this guy. I need to get up with this man and show him my support locally. Phone # does not work but that’s probably the correct address seeing as it’s on his voter registration. Let’s get to work people and make this guy famous.

June 9th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
what kind of women are making these calls? alex’s wife gets harrassed by a woman…and now Mark Bennett getting harrassed by a woman?
what kind of women do this? I’ve never heard of this kind of political harrassment. Women harrassing and threatening male candidates over the phone. {shakes head} oooooooookay. Just doesn’t seem like typical female behavior especially since both of these men are very large…you know what I mean? I’m a chick and I like to shoot my mouth off…but ummm I have never went so far as to threaten to kill and harrass a male politician nor break into their house.
just makes me wonder about these kinds of females…are they real, clones, cyborgs….what????

There have been a number of murders of young college aged men throughout the US (several in Minnesota) where there was a “smiley face” left behind by the killers. I find it disconcerting that this young college aged man would find a similar smiley face left in his home.
June 9th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Go Mark, no they did not bug your home, when they do that they leave Zero evidence. Time to learn all you can about hidden cameras. Place some in your neighboors yard, pointing at your house. You are probably reading this Mark, so I would like to thank you personally.
June 10th, 2008 at 12:20 am
FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS !!!!!!!
BTW: Install a camera or alarm-system.
All the best from faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar away.
June 10th, 2008 at 12:51 am
I guess people believe the ole talking point that AlCIAda is now blond haired, blue eyed, and apparently grayed haired little old men like Ron Paul?
June 10th, 2008 at 1:07 am
Bravo, this guy set’s a good example ( As long as story is TRUE).
June 10th, 2008 at 2:40 am
The Paultards are terrorists. They torched the Texas Governor’s mansion. They even brag about it on their forum.
June 10th, 2008 at 3:03 am
this is retarded. if we ever go to war against the gov we will lose with people like this fighting for freedom
June 10th, 2008 at 3:10 am
good man! It’s great to see people who do something! Someone support him, it’s difficult here from Germany!
June 10th, 2008 at 7:38 am
the governement today is a mix of confused greedy power mongers. They dont care..its obvious. They are pricks, lifeless useless pricks, which is the psychological impitous for such bad govern”mental” behavior.
These people are likely communist insurgents running amok. All leaders and cops who taze innocents for beliefs, or being on a street when they are allowed by right. They are communists, those who support the drug war are profiteering control freaks who never had a life or soul and intend to force all people into a cubicle and hand them a check in condecending fashion
June 10th, 2008 at 9:04 am
I’d vote for him. That lady who called is probably a withered barren bitch.
June 10th, 2008 at 9:05 am
I think JD probably is an agent of the government… LOL
June 10th, 2008 at 10:18 am
The police are right on it I see!
June 10th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Intimidation tactics. Hmmmm! Where have we seen that before?
They really are brazen.
June 10th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
It is so obvious…the crazy people are running things…the caller was probably from the CIA and so the break in, also carried out by our own OSS. Who would have ever thought…the smiley face serial political killer? Whew…I am mentally exhausted by all of this foolery…some people must not have much to do…perhaps labor camps might just be in order.
June 10th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Mark Bennett looks familiar to me. In fact, I went to school with a young guy named Mark Bennett who went to school with me at the College of Staten Island and told me that he was moving to South Carolina because the taxes in New York were too high. And, he shared the same views as myself. In fact, the Mark Bennett that I’m talking about introduced me to InfoWars, PrisonPlanet, and Alex Jones (not literally). I don’t know if it’s this Mark Bennett, but the look and the voice are very familiar to me.
June 10th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Never back down! Don’t they understand these things motivate us even more. Nature vs Eugenics. I am natural!

June 14th, 2008 at 8:22 am
This is America? The same country that supposedly sends it’s troops into harms way to protect the religous and political freedoms of people in far off lands? Maybe they should send troops to Horry County. Bet that lady is a Republican!

The NWO, back in the 1930’s and 1940’s they called it the third reich.
June 16th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
You have to worry about 2008, not the 1930’s or 1940’s. Hopefully he is being sufficiently effective for voters vote for him.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Mr. Bennett should try & hook some security cameras such as adevertised on this sight there not that expensive & maybe he’ll catch these low lifes. Maybe even some people of like mind can act as bodyguards if doesn’t already have them. I know this is the obvious & I’m not trying sound like a wise guy but this wrong & sometimes the obvious escapes us in these situations. Its very unfortunate that we have to resort to this type action that seems to be the way it is. Also the phone provider should be able to tell him where these calls came from. I can assure you if it was one of these NWO clowns they’d know in five minutes. Shamus
