Dave Weigel called Alvin Greene the “the kind of opponent candidates dream about,” but he didn’t know the half of it. Jim Geraghty noted that the new Democratic nominee to run against conservative stalwart Sen. Jim DeMint in South Carolina hadn’t filed any paperwork with the FEC on fundraising, but perhaps he just didn’t want to get in any more trouble with the law than Greene already faces. The Democratic nominee isn’t just “wholly unserious” — the AP reports that he’s been charged with a felony obscenity offense that could get him five years in prison: South Carolina’s surprise Democratic nominee to challenge U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint is facing a pending felony charge. Court records show 32-year-old Alvin Greene was arrested in November and charged with showing obscene Internet photos to a University of South Carolina student. The felony charge carries up to five years in prison. … Records indicate Greene showed photos to a woman and talked about going to her room at a university dorm. Um … wow. Just … wow. The Associated Press had better be sure of its reporting, because if this turns out to be another Alvin Greene, they’ll have to have their checkbooks handy. They did call and ask for a response, but Greene told them he had no comment.
....laugh....
bump for later
It’s been years since the end of Jim Crow in the south. And here we are with a legitimately elected candidate, a black man, being pressured by the Democratic party Chair, who is white, to withdraw from the race.
Doesn’t the timing strike you as being, well, off? Obviously, the party knew about their candidates legal issues before the election and never brought up the issue. Why? If they were all that concerned about the pending charges, you’d think they would have said something before the election.
This smacks of racism. A black candidate unexpectedly wins against a white candidate and the political party all of a sudden decides to try to get him to withdraw.
Shocking. Simply shocking.
“1.) the guy’s a democrat; 2.) he’s black.”
Why isn’t he a Czar by now?
Here’s a question:
If DeMint runs an ad showing the face of his Democrat opponent, would the Left call this racism?
“Democrat Pedophile ping!”
LoL, I guess you missed this part; “University of South Carolina student”
Gamecock wannabe.
If he steps down, DeMint will be unopposed???
Then, SC Dems will put him in charge of the local ACORN morphed organization.
I doubt that most people would consider Playboy “patently offensive”, it’s generally just nude women.
Hustler is a whole different case...
"The Democratic Party has chosen their nominee, and we have to stand behind their choice," Greene told the AP at his home in Manning. "The people have spoken. We need to be pro-South Carolina, not anti-Greene."
Watch the clip...is this for real???
re: “Sen. Nominee Was Kicked Out of Army, Has Felony Charge Pending”
so he’s probably better qualified for public office than most current ‘Rat office holders
So far he sounds like the ultimate DIMocRAT candidate. Does he hate America too?
Barf.

Well....the kids that Foley was messing with online were college age and the democrats called him a pedophile. Turn about is fair play. I’m pretty sure the people I pinged understood that...lol.
Wow...that was strange! There is something not right about that dude...lol.Thanks for the link.
