I want to hear the lib excuses:

1. ” He never said he was perfect.
2. ” He is not running for Pope.”
3. ” It was a mistake. He takes full responsibility.”
4. ” He misspoke to her.”
5. ” Who hasn’t done something they later regret?”
6. “He was a young man when this happened.”
7. ” Bush made him do this.
8. ” This is racism.”

Isn’t a felony a bit much for showing someone a photo? Or does he have a record?

Maybe, and a number of states are trying to redefine their laws because a number of teens are being charged with felonies for “sexting.”

Alvin Greene for President !

Lol.

Man, the White House is going to have come up with some big job to get him to drop out of this race.

We’re talking Ambassadorships.

I can just picture poor Bill Clinton being asked to make that call: “You want me to do what? Like hell I will, Hillary!!?”

Good point Steve,

I wonder what job the WH will offer him .. Maybe Internet czar ?

@notsofast: My initial comment on this subject hinted at an allegation of racism. I did not come right out and say it because at that time, we only had limited information about the victim and in subsequent comments to other posts, including the one where I eventually linked out an extended interview the victim did with a South Carolina station, I’ve used the word “disproportionate”.

Because the campus cop, the one I’ve essentially accused of racism charged Mr. Greene with a felony for “disseminating, procuring or promoting obscenity”, then if you were to follow their logic to its conclusion, then whomever created the website would be “more guilty” of the same charge and if you were to go off toward the ridiculous, one has to wonder if elementary-aged boys could also be charged under the statute, if they were to steal one of their father’s magazines and passed it around their clubhouse.

I can’t get over how much of an idiot the first commenter is. Do you really not understand this story?

goodolgil, have you not seen comments on other vidoes from notsofast? They’ve proven to be an idiot many times over.

Word is that Greene was born and raised in Vermont. So, he must have just mistakenly thought he was asking his sister’s opinion…

Though unemployed, Greene somehow paid a $10K filing fee. He did little or no campaigning, had no known staff and is virtually unknown to the SC Democratic organization.

I begin to smell a rat – which is to say I smell (Jim) DeMint.

SC is an “open primary” state. Republicans can vote for Dems. Republicans in Michigan, another “open” state, got George Wallace elected in the state Democratic presidential primary back in ’68 or thereabouts, solely to mess up the Dems. It’s entirely possible that SC Sen. Jim DeMint managed to select his own Nov. opponent through similar machinations.

Californians just approved open primaries. God help them.

It is kind of strange being arrested for a felony for showing someone, an adult, a sexually explicit image, unless it involved child porn or something, which has not been alleged.

That is, indeed, a powerful odor.

@TRRK: It has been suggested that with the hotly contested Governor’s race, it’s doubtful that a lot of epublicans would have asked for a Democratic ballot and the Charleston CBS affiliate is reporting that the “other guy”, Vic Rawl only had 4% name recognition statewide at the end of May, so the actual voting is likely due to people flipping a coin or some other way to choose between two unknown candidates.

IOW: Rawl dropped the ball.

Though, it doesn’t answer the question as to whether someone “helped” Mr. Greene into the race to encourage confusion or to introduce chaos. After all, an internal candidate poll done around the same time may have had Mr. Rawl pulling 43% in November, but he only offered himself in the head-to-head with DeMint.

It’s a felony for an adult to show (presumably) legal porn to another adult? I detest porn as much as anybody but doesn’t this seem a bit excessive and harsh?

this girl is obviously a racist

this is so strange. i was arrested for shoplifting and after seeing this i now recall that i was in bond court with mr. alvin greene. very creepy indeed.

My dad just ran in S.C.’s 3rd District. There was a Republican debate a few months ago where the main question asked was ‘Would you do whatever it takes to support Israel?’. The darling of the primaries leaned over the table and responded, “I would do whateeeeever it takes to support Israel.” He won the debate polls and dropped out the next day. My dad’s response was, “Would I do whatever it takes? No.” Three days later, an unknown joined the race, dropped $250k in Aiken County (only) and ended up beating my dad by a huge margin. Anderson County is the one to win, if you’re going to. He didn’t campaign there at all. He was just there to spoil my dad’s campaign.

This guy Alvin is obviously serving the same purpose. I don’t know that Jim DeMint is behind it. He doesn’t come across that way. But I wouldn’t put it past the GOP at large.

About the front-runner that dropped out, Shane Massey; He’s being groomed for Senate.
