Who is John Vierdsen?
GIVE US YOUR GUESS IN THE POLL BELOW
Everyone is asking the question, who is “John Vierdsen”? The Palmetto Scoop’s efforts to out the latest vitriolic anonymous bad boy blogger has caused quite a furor among his liberal cohorts and even has The State newspaper’s editorial page editor curious as to his real identity.
Will we ever find out? I’m not sure. But putting “Vierdsen” at the top of the TPS Most Wanted yielded an overwhelming number of tips and emails from readers.
There wasn’t any solid evidence, but there were a whole lot of guesses. So I’ve compiled all the names I’ve received in a poll below the jump. Go on, take your guess.
UPDATE: There are a few names that have come in since this post including Jason Pulaski, Terry Sullivan and Tim Manning. Someone else pointed out that Elonkey’s Jennifer Read is from Alabama. If you think it’s one of these four or someone else not on here, choose “Other.”

Are you allowed to vote for yourself?
Only if you’re trying to tell us something…
Don’t you have, oh, campaign work to do? Your firm’s clients must be really happy you guys are so obsessed about a blogger and not getting their work done.
I’m just honored to be listed with such distinguished gentlemen.
Awww, I feel left out. Can’t I be on the list of potential haters too? Please?
It’s only letting me vote once.
“Your Daddy” isn’t an option?
vierdsen, who are you voting for?
Phil - this isn’t a State Senate race.
Tompkins, Terry & Turd are (barely) smart enough not to personally run Vierdsonian Democracy but instead prop up some low rent wanna-be political reporter who is dumb enough to take whatever they give him. Probably a Cory Hutchins. George Ramsey?
Write-in candidates: Hogan Gidley, Morton Brilliant, Greg Foster.
This is kinda funny…in a some guy just farted sort of way.
Seriously, I’m honored to be in good company, but I prefer Michael.
Is anyone concerned about family court corrupt judges?
What about equal parenting according to our constitution?
Want to be involved in your children’s lives as more than a visitor?
Did you know it is illegal to not have equal custody of your children without due process?

It can’t be Donehue. We’re too busy bashing each others brains in right now.
Thanks Phil.
I’ll vouch for Phil too. He’s been sitting in church reciting The Lord’s Prayer over and over for the last two weeks. I don’t know many churches with wireless access.
Tompkins gave the Senate Democratic Caucus big money this year. Maybe some out-of-work Democratic operative is on his payroll now to run this blog.
Then again, maybe it could it be Jason Puhlasky.
Whom cares?
I would look most closely at those who have a history of anonymous blogs
Since we’re wasting time and effort, why not dig up all the dirt on McLovin’. I’m sure there’s plenty of it out there.
Brad - Shhh… I don’t want anyone to find out about the weaponized wheelchair shop I have stashed away at a secret location for if/when I expose Vierdsen.
Vierdsen’s not afraid of a fat kid in a wheelchair, seriously. Not even with all of Rick Quinn’s tax-evading dollars backing him up. By the way, how highly ranked is the broadcast journalism program at GSU? There must be a lot of great internship possibilities in a metropolis like Statesboro.
Is there any real chance for Vierdsen’s identity to be revealed? Assuming it is one of those people in that poll (and that you went with those names because one of them is in fact Vierdsen), Adam, are you willing to set a time frame on when you will let us know Vierdsen’s identity?
My goal is to keep out-pacing Lachlan. Vote Bailey.
Wes, I’ll keep up the prayers.
This is fun.
And, Vierdsen doesn’t have a real job because you don’t know who he is? It’s a shame your ignorance drives your opinions.
Vierdsen, you’re awful confident - dare I say over-confident in your anonymity.
You’re nothing more than a underachieving journalism or liberal arts student or something like that. You’d probably like to write for The State, but you have no real insight into anything. You aren’t a good writer.
What you do instead is take what underachieving, washed-up political consultants feed you and publish it to your blog. Like the guys who butter your blog’s bread, your time’s up.
I bet we know your name by this time next week. Any takers?
I must be spending too much time out of state lately, I’m dropping in the polls like a rock!
“I am Vierdsen” is the new “I am Sarah Palin” or “I am Joe the Plumber.”
vierdsen can it be McFogle has you a wee bit scared? afterall your anonymous for a reason and it looks like you will be caught soonr or later .. what is that reason by the way? Your job, your family, theres some reason you dont want your christian name showing up on vierdsonian. Im not sure if you think McFogle wont catch you or you just dont care. do tell..
It’s nice to see the Quinns are scared shitless by John. See you at The Back Porch.
McLovin –
Whatever are you going to do after this election?
PROTIP: The attempt at self-deprecation in the weaponized wheel chair jokes are now officially as old and tired as you pretending that RQA are just these guys that you see at the coffee maker every day.
Oh, wait, I think I’ve seen you before -
I’ll take that bet. But it’ll require you to drop your anonymity. How ironic.
It’s Gucci, the pup!

Fogle is Viersden.
Double agent.
Slouth
Hot damn, I got it.
I seriously know who it is and I am calling McLovin right now. I only know one man capable of such childish language and knowledge.
I hear Bob Peeler, Tagg, Craig & Scott Talley are working together on Vierdsonian Democracy. Tompkins & Terry threw them the business after, well, you know, things didn’t turn out the way everyone thought they would.
It’s Howard Rich.
