Treat them [white people] like shit. Oh my. We can imagine what would happen if some white woman said this about blacks. We have a 2-tier racist system these days.

South Carolina elections chair resigns after he’s caught removing, defacing Trump signs. This looks like a sign that they think President Trump is winning.
After Republican Party officials filed a complaint with the sheriff’s office as well, Dean Smith, who had been a member of the board for 15 years, turned in his resignation. Also, Rita Smith, his wife, resigned as poll manager and training coordinator for the elections commission.

We don’t know how to break this to the Democrats gently, so we’ll just be blunt: It looks like Democrats are dumb enough to vote for Alvin Greene.
According to a new Rasmussen poll, Republican Jim DeMint leads Democrat Alvin Greene by a 37% margin.
Here’s how Rasmussen describes the situation:
While South Carolina Democrats fret over how an unemployed political unknown with a felony charge hanging over him won their party’s Senate nomination, the first Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the general election contest finds incumbent Republican Senator Jim DeMint far in the lead.
DeMint, who is seeking a second six-year term, earns support from 58% of Likely Voters in South Carolina, while Democratic nominee Alvin Greene picks up 21% of the vote. Nine percent (9%) like some other candidate, and 13% are undecided.
Rasmussen says DeMint is “far in the lead”, but we don’t think that’s the real story told by this survey.
The Democrats – nationally and in South Carolina – insist that Greene must be a Republican plant, that a dimwit like this couldn’t possibly win their primary honestly, that their voters can’t possibly be dumb enough to give him their votes, that voter fraud was committed with magnets.
Yet according to Rasmussen, Greene would still garner 21% of the votes if the election were held today even though his own party calls him a fraud and he’s revealed himself to be, shall we say, less than a genius.
There are 2,585,911 registered voters in South Carolina. voter turn-out was 34.6% in the last non-presidential general election. If these totals hold up in this election, it means that Greene’s 21% of the vote translates into 187,892 votes, which is, of course, substantially more than he received in the primary.
We don’t know how to break this to the Democrats gently, so we’ll just be blunt: It looks like Democrats are dumb enough to vote for Alvin Greene.

This Keith Olbermann interview of Alvin Greene features awkward moments of silence. Long, awkward moments of silence. And those were the best parts of the interview.
You’ve probably heard about Alvin Greene, the guy South Caroline Democrats nominated to run against popular Republican Jim DeMint for the U.S. Senate.
This Olbermann interview features awkward moments of silence. Long, awkward moments of silence. And those were the best parts of the interview. In fact, they may have been the best moments of any Keith Olbermann show we’ve ever seen.
Greene is a Democrat, so of course, Olbermann treated him with the utmost respect despite the fact that he has a felony obscenity charge pending against him and despite the fact that he appears to be certifiably insane.
Greene, that is, not Olbermann. Although he’s pretty damned crazy, too.
The story. The voice. The mannerisms. No doubt about it, South Carolina Democrat Alvin Greene is bringing Chauncey Gardener, the Peter Sellers character in Being There, to life.

Republicans. They’re more informed. More educated. And, apparently, more likely to nominate someone like Alvin Greene.
Those Democrats, we’re often told, are just plain smarter than Republicans. They’re more informed. More educated. And, apparently, more likely to nominate someone like Alvin Greene.
Greene won South Carolina’s Democrat Senate primary on Tuesday, but no one is quite sure how. A lot of candidates get labeled unknown outside their own states, but Greene is unknown inside his own state. That may explain why he won the primary.
In addition to being unknown, Greene is unemployed. He says he paid for his entire campaign with his own 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,” he added.
South Carolina Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler says blind luck may have propelled Greene to victory:
“[Greene may have] won because his name appeared first on the ballot, and voters unfamiliar with both candidates chose alphabetically.”
Unfortunately for Greene, he is not completely unknown in South Carolina. Police seem to know him pretty well. In November of 2009, he was charged with a felony for showing “adult” photos to a University of South Carolina student. A conviction could mean up to five years in prison and if he should he win in November, that would overlap rather neatly with his six-year senate term.
Greene may become the first Democrat to be convicted before going to Washington, DC, effectively reversing the typical Democrat career path.
UPDATE: We found his Alvin Greene’s inspiration.

South Carolina Governor Sanford disappeared for a few days. What’s the big deal? President Obama went missing for his entire term as a United States Senator and then followed that up by disappearing for nearly a week during the Iran street protests. And the media barely made a peep.
