HEADS UP-That possible plant who won the Dem. nomination in SC will be on Countdown tonight!

[jenmito]

This should be good! Alvin Greene is his name.

[Clio the Leo]

1. It's like a train wreck ... want to watch! ... want to turn away in horror! nt

[jenmito]

2. I have a feeling Keith will go slightly easy on him while making the case

that something is very fishy. Then Keith will probably discuss it with someone else.

[Clio the Leo]

3. The man's gonna turn out to be Steele's second cousin, you mark my words! lol nt

[jenmito]

4. That would be too funny! n/t

[elehhhhna]

7. that would be a huge waste of an opportunity...

sadly, not a first for Keith

[beachmom]

5. If the Right weren't involved before, they are now:

Proud to announce the addition of Nelson Lewis, Producer of the Laura Ingraham Show, as my Communications Director.



Here is another one. Anyone have info on this:


Meet my new campain manager - Daniel Vovak, he ran for Sentae against Barak Obama in 2004. [e-mail]


Reading through his twitter feed he sounds like someone who just got his own reality show!

[high density]

6. I like his retro 1995-style campaign website NM

[Clio the Leo]

9. he has one now?

'cause he didn't Tuesday night lol

[high density]

10. He announced it on his twitter feed

http://www.alvingreene2010.com/

I get quite a kick out of it.

[Clio the Leo]

11. what's his twitter name? I just looked and cant find it. nt

[high density]

12. post 5

[Clio the Leo]

15. I think those are what's known as "false sites" :-) nt

[jenmito]

25. Aleady: "Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!" n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

22. After looking at this page, I don't think he's a Repuke plant at all

At least not admitted Republicans.

This thing's got Rahm/DLC dirty tricks written all over it. Makes a point of saying how he's "not a corporate candidate selected by the Democratic Leadership Council" and calls him a "progressive, independent voice for South Carolina".

Then immediately following that, you have a link to a "united Korea". The linked page appears to favor North Korea taking over the entire Korean peninsula.

Or in other words, Let's make a "progressive" candidate look as fucking ridiculous as possible. Then let's hire a complete idiot to play the part and put him on TV.

Just wait, the DLC will use this in their narrative of allowing only D(L)SCC/D(L)CCC approved candidates in all future primaries.

[Clio the Leo]

26. ha ha ha ha...... yes! Rahm did this!!!! To PUNISH the UNIONS!!!

...... dont you think if ANYONE was trying to make him a website .... Rahm, Harold Ford, Bill Clinton, the GOP, whomever .... they'd have done a better job?

That website was made by some no-name armchair pundit somewhere.

As for the Korea thing, he actually SAID that in an interview.

[Clio the Leo]

20. that domain name was registered today....

... I looked it up .... dont know by whom though. Registration is private of course.

[jenmito]

27. And it's gone already! See my post above! n/t

[Clio the Leo]

28. The twitter account is gone but the website is still there ...

... unless I'm viewing a cached version of it.

[jenmito]

29. Thanks. It IS still there, but:

"Update: We spoke to Mr. Alvin Greene earlier today (June 10th, 2010) about this web site. Mr. Greene said he would not want this to be considered the authoritative campaign site. He reiterated this on the Keith Olbermann show this evening. This is an unofficial, grassroots support site."

So shouldn't he have an OFFICIAL website? Something is wrong here...

[Clio the Leo]

30. oh! Alvin Greene doesn't even know what "authoritative" means!

.... the teabaggers are behind this!lol .... they're the only ones of the proper age group and technical skill to make a web page that would look like that!

[jenmito]

32. Yup! I wish Keith would've asked him how he had the $10K to run when he has

no job, and if he has an official web page.

[Clio the Leo]

8. Coming up next.... nt

[babylonsister]

13. Jeeze, this is painful to watch. And who the hell is 'coaching'

him, though it's not helping much.

[Clio the Leo]

19. his attorney .... he has his attorney with him...

... unlike most politicians, who ARE attorneys.

[Clio the Leo]

14. he was wearing an American flag lapel pin .... I think he's legit!

:)

(and a rather lovely tie)

[babylonsister]

17. Ha! Must be! nt

[bluedigger]

16. That was bizarre.

:shrug:

[Diamonique]

21. Indeed. Very bizarre.

That dude is not ready for prime time.

[Clio the Leo]

18. OBAMA!!! DO SOMETHING!!!!!

He's a Democrat AND a black dude!!! Seriously!!!! He'd LISTEN to you!!! MAKE THIS STOP!!!!! lol

[Cha]

31. First I heard he

was Black. What is goin' on?

[jenmito]

33. Here's a pic (from a "grassroots" website NOT authorized by him):

http://www.alvingreene2010.com/ (He doesn't have an "official" website!)

[Cha]

34. Thanks, jen.. I just

read stuff today about him that James Cylburn thought he was "plant"..so I didn't know what to expect.

[Clio the Leo]

35. And part of the whole conspiracy theory ....

.... is that "Greene" (as opposed to "Green") is typically an African American spelling of that name. African Americans went to the polls, (and like most of the voters) knew little about either candidate and voted for a name that "sounded" black.

[Cha]

36. OH dear... Al Green comes to mind.

[Clio the Leo]

37. Yeah, but he dropped the last "e' for his career.

.... I have a friend who's last name is "Greene" and she's white .... but her husband's not. :)

[Cha]

38. I see...like Sam Cooke added the e for

show business.

[Peacetrain]

23. They have done this same thing before in South Carolina!

tried to steal an election by putting in a phony canidate in for the Democrats funded by the republicans

[Clio the Leo]

24. and on a related note: lol! at Robert Klein's Obama song.

... I was MOVED to tears! (huh)
