Glenn Beck. Yes, I know, I'm going to hear it from the Fox Faithful. Too bad.

Henry McMaster. The South Carolina attorney general threatened Craigslist with a lawsuit over its escort service ads. Then Craigslist fired back with a list of all the other places you could find escorts in the Palmetto State that McMaster was conveniently ignoring.
