This is What Ignorant Racist Republicans Sound & Look Like (South Carolina Edition)

(H/T Angry Black Lady)

Last week I'm talking to this lady who identifies as a lifelong Democrat, and supporter of president Obama. I tell her that I too am a supporter, but I didn't like the idea of him extending the Bush Tax Cuts, and now having to propose cutbacks at the expense of the poor. She then told me that I'm really a Republican because I hate the president and probably believes he's Kenyan. After that conversation I came to the conclusion that it's hard to call right-wingers idiots when there are dummies on your side as well.

But hey, closet Republican or not, I know I'm not as blissfully ignorant as some of these fine Republican voters from South Carolina in the following clip.These people would make Preston Brooks proud. And to think that these are the descendants of people who seceded and wanted to have their own country(?). I could be wrong, but something tells me that they should have cut these fools loose back on December 20th, 1860. Hell, one of them even said the gov't spends too much on education! Can you believe that shit? OK, don't answer; instead, watch the following and have a good laugh on me.

Glenn McConnell On South Carolina GOP Slave Pics: "Receive it in the spirit it was presented that evening." (Or, "Shut Tha Eff Up Negro!")

Well, what do you expect? I mean those pictures were completely harmless, right? I mean there's no way in hell he should apologize for being pictured as a Confederate general happily embracing slaves, right?

Now if he was holding a Quran... well maybe then I would say an apology is in order. Until then, I say be who you are, pal. Besides, it's time that blacks in America got over this racial stuff anyway.

McConnell says a picture circulating on the Internet of him dressed in a Civil War-era military uniform alongside two African-Americans outfitted in period costumes was an innocent moment among friends — nothing more. [...]

“It was a friendly photograph,” McConnell said Wednesday. “It’s a great statement as to how far this state has come.”

“Receive it in the spirit it was presented that evening,” McConnell urged, adding there were no apologies to be made for the effort. (source)

Shit, don't even pay any attention to those ungrateful niggers bloggers who are bitching about your happy times pics. I mean, it's not like those folks are asking those two Negroes pictured with you for an apology.

Alvin Greene's Job Creation Solution Actually Sounds Like A Good Idea

Last night I read and article that shed some light into the background that is the enigmatic Alvin Greene [read here]. In the article it mentioned that Greene was remembered by fellow high school classmates and teachers as painfully shy. I suppose this would explain his Rain Main perception when confronted by the bright lights that is the media as they poke and prod into his life. A perception that has left some wondering about his mental stability.

I must say that after reading that article which described how the pain of losing his mother at an early age deeply affected his life, that I felt sorry for him. But today is a new day, and in a recent interview with The Guardian of UK, I guess it could be said that we now know a bit more about Alvin Greene by way of what he sees as government policy solution to some of our problems in this economic climate. More specifically, his jobs policy.

Here's his "big idea" on job creation in South Carolina:

"Another thing we can do for jobs is make toys of me, especially for the holidays. Little dolls. Me. Like maybe little action dolls. Me in an army uniform, air force uniform, and me in my suit. They can make toys of me and my vehicle, especially for the holidays and Christmas for the kids. That's something that would create jobs. So you see I think out of the box like that. It's not something a typical person would bring up. That's something that could happen, that makes sense. It's not a joke."

I could be wrong, but me thinks somebody hasn't gotten over the fact of not getting that G.I. Joe with the King Fu grip for Christmas back in the day. But hey, this is Alvin Greene and not Barack Obama we're talking about here; we should not be surprised. Speaking of which, when asked about whether president Obama had been an inspiration for his candidacy given their shared skin color, he had this to say:

"Yes, I mean there's something that, you know, I knew so I just knew that. It was in my mind, I knew that, that, that, that the voters really, they really, that they really, erm, followed the candidate. That they really wanted substance in a candidate..."

To quote the Norwegian group Royksopp, best known here in America for their famous Geico caveman commercial jingle "Remind Me": "Brave men tell the truth, a wise man's tools are analogies and puzzles." So while we laugh at Greene's suggestion of creating Alvin Greene action figures. We should realize that it's actually not a bad idea. Many jobs would be created if we got back to manufacturing our own products, as opposed to importing them all from China.

Much Like Lamont Sanford, Alvin Greene Gives Hope to Men With No Game

Until I see him giving R. Kelly a high five as they both have sex with a 14yr old girl on tape, I'm not giving too much play to the Willie Horton or Boo Radley allure that is Alvin Greene. I'm sorry, but listening to the story above from the "alleged" victim, I don't see Greene as a sex offender as he's currently being touted.

Given the fact that he has yet to be convicted, the only crime Green is guilty of in my opinion, is that of being 32yrs old and having no game with the ladies. Sorry, but if your game is that wack at 32yrs old, you might as well pay for sex on occasion; or, be satisfied with the knuckle shuffle on the ole piss-pump in your spare time.

But then again, it's been my experience that there're any number of freaky white girls on college campuses. That said, who's to say that the "hey baby, do you like porn," routine, hasn't worked for him in the past? Not exactly the smoothest pickup line; but, I'm sure given the law of averages, someone has bitten on this before.

And much like another great American hero - Lamont Sanford - who lives at home with his parent(s), Alvin Greene has become a source of inspiration for loser men across the nation. Did he let not having a car or cashing unemployment checks slow him down? No he didn't. He reached deep into his soul and was resourceful enough to pull off the inevitable all in the pursuit of happiness; and it cost him was $10,400. And he surely didn't let some silly felony obscenity charge stop him either.

Certainly as evidenced by his interviews the brother isn't too nice with the verb, and is no Michael Eric Dyson when it comes to breaking it down as seasoned politicians and orators do. So maybe this would explains his foray into the world of politics. Shit, don't you know how much coochie those politicians get on the tax-payer dime? Uh-huh, and in case you didn't know it, Greene actually has a Bachelors in non other than Political Science.

Hell, if the governor of your state has the ability to skip town unannounced to tap some ass in an exotic location. Surely by becoming a senator you'll have the women throwing panties at you like your name is Prince. Which is a hell of a lot better than being perceived as a cocaine-crazed negro from the south with a voracious sexual appetite for white women; shit, once upon a time in America that stuff got you killed.

Alvin Greene Speaks: If he was White, would we be having this conversation?

I've been scratching my head about this Alvin Greene story. Now I'm hearing the brother who looks like Simon Adebisi straight out of the HBO series Oz, has a pending felony charge which involves pornography?! Not that the felony charge is surprising; hell, 9 out of 8 black men are felons; and this is South Carolina we're talking about here.

Like most people I have my questions about the guy and just how exactly did he manage to pull off the the seemingly impossible. How does a guy without a job run for the U.S. Senate without as much of a peep being said about it in the media before now? Given the state of the United States  economy and the 11.7% unemployment rate in South Carolina, surely this guy's story would have been one for the ages before now.

Instead, we're all left to wonder if he's the new Manchurian Candidate, or the latest Kenyan-born brother with political aspirations to hit the scene. So where did he come from? Where did he get his money? How did he do it? All questions inquiring minds would love to know; but, he isn't saying much other than that he has no intentions of dropping out of the race. And quite frankly, I don't think he should. Why should he have to?

Unemployed Democrat Alvin Greene wins South Carolina's Senate nomination

I know the talking heads will spend much time breaking down Super Tuesday's primary results. Yep, we're gonna hear all about Blanch Lincoln's miraculous against-all-odds win in her Arkansas primary challenge. However, I wanted to take a moment to highlight a brother they will not be talking about; a brother who dared to defy the odds of running a successful campaign while unemployed.

His name is Alvin Greene, and is a virtually unknown in South Carolina, let alone in politic. He has accomplished something never heard of  in an age where success is borne out of heavy campaign financing. In an age where in 2008, the average winning representative spent $8 million to sit in a House seat:

An unemployed 32-year-old black Army veteran with no campaign funds, no signs, and no website shocked South Carolina on Tuesday night by winning the Democratic Senate primary to oppose Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC). Alvin Greene, who currently lives in his family's home, defeated Vic Rawl, a former judge and state legislator who had a $186,000 campaign warchest and had already planned his next fundraising event.

Despite the odds, Greene, who has been unemployed for the past nine months, said that he wasn't surprised by his victory. "I wasn’t surprised, but not really. I mean, just a little, but not much. I knew I was on top of my campaign, and just stayed on top of everything, I just—I wasn't surprised that much, just a little. I knew that I worked hard and did," Greene said in an interview.

Greene insists that he paid the $10,400 filing fee and all other campaign expenses from his own personal funds. "It was 100 percent out of my pocket. I’m self-managed. It’s hard work, and just getting my message to supporters. I funded my campaign 100 percent out of my pocket and self-managed," said Greene, who sounded anxious and unprepared to speak to the public.

But despite his lack of election funds, Greene claims to have criss-crossed the state during his campaign—though he declined to specify any of the towns or places he visited or say how much money he spent while on the road. 

Now of course, as to be expected there is local media speculation as to whether he's a Republican plant. Sure, because there's no way a black man can pull something like this off. Yep, not in political circles dominated by the chitlin rubbed armpits of South Carolina's Republican elite.
