The Waiting Is Over! Alvin Greene Makes First Public Speech At NAACP Meeting

video
» 21 comments

Alvin Greene, South Carolina’s Democratic nominee for Senate ventured out into public for the first time today to address a local NAACP chapter meeting in South Carolina. His rambling, talking point-filled speech — which had been written, double-spaced, in a spiral notebook — if nothing else quickly made one thing clear: all the mystery and bizarre behavior surrounding Greene has been nothing but a boon for his candidacy. Had Greene made this speech at the outset no one would have given him a second thought, as it is he now warrants national coverage. Some might call that political genius.

    Only CNN would cut away from that speech. That was easily the most intriguing thing that has been on CNN in months. And no, I am not being sarcastic.

    “His rambling, talking point-filled speech”

    How is this any different than most of the so-called “speeches” we usually hear at the NAACP meetings?

    Anyone would be better than Jim “waterloo” Demint’

    Why does James Clyburn hate black people?

  • timzank

    Ahhh, what a thrill it must be to be heralded as the Forrest Gump of the NAACP. RUN ALVIN RUN!!!

    Senator.

    Greene is obviously being pushed for one reason and one reason only:

    If Greene gets in, there will be no way to pass the Must Read The Bill Before Passage Act.

    “What do you mean we have to read it??? Well what if one of us can’t read??? Why do you hate black people???”

    You silly, frothy-mouthed liberals. Thank God it’s the weekend!

    Greene has more substance than Barack.

    Embrace this man democrats, he is one yours .

  • timzank

    He’s as qualified as the community organizer. Get him a teleprompter and turn him loose.

    @real john t: I was making a lame joke because most of what I saw (before the analysis) wasn’t really the jurisdiction of the federal government, instead it was state office rhetoric.

  • Latin2

    OK Liberals and MSM you are going to have to work hard to make Alvin appear like he is qualified, like you do to tear down those on the right to make them look unqualified.

    You know like you did with Obama.

  • Latin2

    Notice that Alvin’s left eye drifts to the left uncontrollably when he talks, like you can’t tell which eye he is looking at you

  • Rogue-Comic

    Somebody else please substantially comment on how “bad” this speech actually was; I honestly can’t bear to click on the video but still possess enough interest to want to know. Think World Cup finals . . .

    I honestly feel bad for true blue democrats in SC.

    Looks like “The Real John T” finally got nominated.

    Who feigns outrage over Glenn Beck, yet lauds the likes of Olbermann, Sharpton, Shultz, and my personal favorite, the Rev. Wright – THE INTOLERANT LEFT!
