Jewish owned newspapers and press organs in South Carolina are lining up behind an IBM executive who had a white roofer arrested when he showed to protest a crew of illegals who had been hired to work on the IBM executive's home.

Terry Funderburk was arrested in July and charged with disorderly conduct after he arrived in a posh subdivision of Columbia, South Carolina and picketed with a sign reading "Illegal: Quit Stealing Our Jobs" as a crew of illegally hired illegal Mexicans worked on McDaniel's home. Pictures of the arrest, which occurred at the corner of Beaver Lake Drive and Woodcreek Farms Road in Woodcreek Farms subdivision, show police arresting Funderburk for no apparent reason except that he is holding a protest sign and bothering someone wealthier than him -- something the South Carolina police called "disorderly conduct".

The response of the Jew press has been sympathy with McDaniel, the IBM executive who had Funderburk arrested, and lengthy articles on the McDaniels' "ordeal".

The McDaniels have told the press that they have been harassed by "angry, racist people" from the internet.

The developer of the project, M and H Homes, say they are considering suign Funderburk because of the damage his protest and subsequent material he has publshed on the internet showing that M and H Homes hired the illegal Mexicans for four dollars an hour, versus the going rate of fourteen dollars per hour for roofers in the Columbia area, has done to their reputation.

The idea that their woes of the result of them actually doing something wrong have not occurred to the McDaniels or to M and H Homes, and their righteousness is being steadily upheld by the Jew press, which teaches white bosses to exploit white workers while destroying white culture through multi- culturalist and "anti-racist" subsidies of illegal Mexicans.

Internet magnifies protest
Roofer takes his beef onto the street and into the blogosphere
By NOELLE PHILLIPS - nophillips@thestate.com
When the disgruntled roofer carrying a sign that read “Illegals!!! Quit Stealing Our Jobs!” was arrested in July, Larry McDaniel thought the crazy scene outside his Woodcreek Farms home had ended.

The roofer, though, started posting on the Internet photos and stories of his disorderly conduct arrest while picketing supposed illegal immigrants, who were working on McDaniel’s home. The home was being rebuilt after a June 2006 fire.

For a month, those words and pictures jumped from message boards to blogs to YouTube — even onto the Web site of white supremacist David Duke.

Unbeknownst to McDaniel, photos of his house, with its address visible, were spreading online as a spark in the emotional immigration debate.

The roofer, Terry Funderburk, wrote on one message board: “I already have gotten justice in a way, that homeowner, the one that had me arrested, the one that got a free pass from the cops for being such a fine upstanding citizen, well, there are hundreds of thousands of people all over this country that thinks he is exactly what I called him.”

Then, CNN’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight” aired the roofer’s story on Aug. 10 in a segment about illegal workers.

The program was repeated three times over the weekend. Friends saw it. So did neighbors in the upscale Columbia subdivision, where USC head football coach Steve Spurrier also lives.

CNN gave the story credibility that the blogs and message boards couldn’t.

McDaniel, a retired sales manager for IBM, was surprised, embarrassed, angry and scared.

McDaniel’s ride through the world of online, citizen-generated news reflects how the world now often shares information.

Postings on blogs and message boards are not always accurate or fair, but information can spread faster than a wildfire through a drought-stricken forest, especially when the topic is one as controversial as immigration.

Funderburk accuses McDaniel of hiring a team of illegal immigrants to install a copper roof because they would accept lower wages.

It’s unknown whether those workers are legally permitted to work in the United States.

But Funderburk’s posts have made him a minor celebrity on anti-immigration Web sites.

A Google search of “Terry Funderburk” and “illegal” turns up 11,000 hits.

Yet Funderburk, who complains about undocumented workers, does not have the proper legal documentation to work on homes.

He does not have an S.C. contractor’s license or a Columbia city business license, authorities said.

And even his claim to national fame is under scrutiny. CNN said it’s investigating complaints about the report.

‘LONE PROTESTER’

The story got its spark on July 16, when Funderburk, working on another house in Woodcreek Farms, passed the McDaniel house. He saw the workers on the roof.

Funderburk, who had put copper roofing on McDaniel’s house in the past, bid for the latest job but was turned down despite giving the low price.

“That’s the first time I’ve seen any Hispanics in the Columbia area doing copper work,” he said. “That’s when I started getting mad because everything I thought or suspected was true.”

Funderburk, 52, drove home to Lugoff and made two posters. He said he told his wife not to expect him home because he probably would get arrested.

“I have never been so angry in my whole life,” Funderburk said. “My whole life was going downhill. I couldn’t sleep at night. I was worrying about how I was going to pay my bills.”

Funderburk said his copper roofing business steadily has declined in the past year because of illegal immigrants.

Funderburk called his son to McDaniel’s home to take photos. Funderburk then started marching around the house.

McDaniel called the Columbia Police Department. Officers arrested Funderburk and charged him with disorderly conduct, saying he was being loud and boisterous and “using obscene words,” according to the incident report.

After the arrest, Funderburk e-mailed his story to conservative commentators across the United States.

Funderburk said the first person to grab the story was Frosty Wooldridge, who writes about immigration and other issues from Colorado. Then, a moderator of the message board friendsofsc.com invited him to tell his story there. Funderburk posted his story under the nickname “lone protester.”

He got responses. On one blog, viewers discuss ways to enlarge pictures so they can read the street signs in front of the home.

“I offer my support Lone Protestor — my husband is a subcontractor and they are driving him out of business also,” wrote one blogger. “They don’t have the expense of worker’s comp insurance, general liability insurance, payroll taxes, etc.”

It’s impossible to trace how the story jumped from Web site to Web site.

Funderburk is proud of his notoriety. Authorities are not doing enough to stop illegal immigration, he said. Thousands of people share his sentiments and support his cause, he said.

“I made one hell of a statement for these people,” Funderburk said. “I’m proud of it.”

However, Funderburk does not have a contractor’s license with the S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, spokesman Jim Knight said.

The state agency had a record of Funderburk doing business as Classic Copper, but that license expired in June 2001, Knight said.

Funderburk said he doesn’t need a license to do copper roofing.

But state law says anyone who does roof work valued at more than $200 must have an S.C. license, Knight said.

Also, Custom Copper is not licensed to do business in the city of Columbia, according to the city’s business licensing department.

VIGILANTE?

Developers chose another company, International Construction Services Inc. of Columbia, over Funderburk because that company did better work, said Randy Fletcher, whose wife owns M and H Development, the company overseeing the work.

Beth Fletcher, owner of M and H Development, did not want to discuss the situation. Attempts to reach International Construction Services Inc. were not successful.

“There are people in this world who have lost jobs to illegal immigrants, but not this guy,” McDaniel said. “He lost a job because of a low bid and low quality.”

Funderburk has accused McDaniel and M and H of hiring illegal workers when he did not know who was doing the work, Randy Fletcher said.

But neither does Fletcher.

International Construction, like other M and H subcontractors, is responsible for checking documentation of its workers, he said.

Under federal law, companies must ask for identification for workers but they cannot question the authenticity of the documents presented.

Funderburk unnecessarily has dragged people into the limelight of the heated immigration debate, Fletcher said.

“He made a racist, snap judgment about people doing work,” he said. “He decided to be a vigilante and take things into his own hands.”

Funderburk does not mention the McDaniel family or their developers by name on the Web. However, his posts show photos of the house with the corner street sign and developer’s sign in the frame.

In the meantime, CNN said Friday it’s looking into the report about Funderburk on the Dobbs show. Fletcher and McDaniel said they complained to CNN.

“We have heard concerns about our report,” a CNN spokeswoman said. “We take such concerns very seriously, and we will investigate.”

On Saturday, Fletcher and McDaniel said they had received apologies from the show’s executive producer. Attempts to reach CNN officials on Saturday were unsuccessful.

LIVING IN FEAR

Larry and Mary McDaniel said they have been afraid for their safety since their home address has been publicized on thousands of Web sites.

“There’s all these racist, angry people out there he’s blogging with,” Larry McDaniel said. “They know where the house is. Why should we live in fear when we’ve done nothing wrong?”

Fletcher, the developer’s husband, said M and H’s reputation has been sullied because everyone in Woodcreek Farms knows they are building the house. M and H Development hires reputable contractors, Fletcher said.

“The perception he’s put out there is we’re a bunch of cheap guys who hire illegal aliens to do a cheap job,” he said.

But Funderburk insists he was making a stand for himself and other small business owners who are suffering because of illegal immigration.

“The cops and politicians have turned a blind eye to people in my situation,” Funderburk said. “I don’t do shoddy work. I’m a sheet metal mechanic, and when it comes to copper work, I consider myself an artist.”

The McDaniel and Fletcher families said that they understand Funderburk’s concern over illegal immigration, but that he chose the wrong way to handle it.

“I understand his cause, but his tactics are overboard to get publicity,” Mary McDaniel said. “There are so many people who are so zealous that they’re not willing to look at the situation.

“The hate that is coming out this is cancerous.”
