The leftist media has some favorite public figures that it just loves to hate like Sarah Palin, Sharron Angle, and Michelle Bachmann – but there is one candidate that the media has left alone. This candidate was a total underdog. No one expected this person to win. When the candidate won their primary, people all over the nation were enraged at the results. Most believe that this person doesn’t have a chance at winning. The main reason being is because this candidate  has brought a laugh or two to the national stage because they haven’t always said things in an artful manner. No, I’m not talking about Christine O’Donnell. We know what Bill Maher, Chris Matthews and SNL have done to her. I’m talking about Alvin Greene.

As the left draws desperate these last few weeks before the election, it appears that Lawrence O’Donnell made one last ditch effort to try to help the unlikely candidate. There are some events that are just beyond words. Sometimes, one sees things where the emotional reaction is unable to be fully described in text. This interview is one of them.


The rank hypocrisy of the left-leaning entertainment industry leaving Greene alone while being relentless on Palin, Christine O’Donnell and others is something that befuddles the mind after seeing this clip. Needless to say, this interview alone is enough to make more than a few promising quips that are sure to being good viewership returns. However, how the entertainment-left have practically ignored Greene almost pales in comparison to how Lawrence O’Donnell chose to end this segment. Did O’Donnell actually say this guy is better than Jim DeMint? How can we take anything Lawrence O’Donnell says seriously? O’Donnell said that Greene, the man who once howled at reporters to get off of his property while his brother was giving an interview, and who wouldn’t even answer the question of how he got his nick-name in high school is “better than Jim DeMint.” (more…)

When Alvin Green legally became the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in South Carolina, his legitimacy was immediately challenged by his party’s elite and members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Although Green withstood their attacks, he was lampooned by the national media and his campaign has since been abandoned by his party. Many dismiss this situation based on his unorthodox presentation. Others knowledgeable of the Democratic Party, its platform, and its history know that this is just a typical example of how they treat black members of their party. The mainstream media serves as a tool to reinforce black people’s position at the bottom of the Democratic Party.

Rep. Kendrick Meek on the other hand is no Alvin Green. Meek is a well educated man, a sitting congressman and son of the congresswoman. He no doubt has the political pedigree to serve in the United States Senate. I am proud to say that he is a fellow graduate of my alma mater, Florida A&M University. Like Green, Meek earned his place as his party’s nominee. While Meek & Green may have different backgrounds they share a trait that condemns them to the bottom of their party. They are both black men who aspire to represent a constituency larger than their neighborhood. The truth is, Meek could be a congressman for the rest of his life if he decided to stay in his district. However, his senatorial aspiration could lead to his political demise.

While more discouraging (if not downright frightening) economic news continues to roll in, making the Obama administration look increasingly incompetent, and while a federal judge unilaterally declares we’ve been misinterpreting the Constitution for nearly 225 years, and while a sitting Congressman is being investigated for ethics violations boogies down at his star-studded birthday bash, Politico decrees that this is the most important story of the day:

will its offbeat candidates hurt GOP?Will its offbeat candidates hurt GOP?

The advocates masquerading as objective journalists at Politico are aggressively trying to change the narrative and make the 2010 election cycle about the character of individuals in the GOP and not the track record of the Obama administration.  Although the Democratic Party itself nominated Alvin Greene, undoubtedly the offest-beat candidate in this election cycle, elected screwballs such as Alan Grayson and Al Franken to their first terms just two years ago, and is still home to ethically-challenged Congresspeople like Rangel and Maxine Waters, Politico plays the politics of personal destruction with the current Republican nominees. All in a day’s work for the Democrat-Media Complex!

Does Harry – How Can Hispanics Vote For Republicans? — Reid count as offbeat?  Or what about the creep in New Hampshire who wished Sarah Palin would get incinerated in a plane crash inferno? (This just in — he resigned.) (more…)

JOE BIDEN: [on phone] Sure, sure, I’ll tell him.  No problem.  [hangs up]  Charlie Rangel, Boss.  Said he appreciated the offer but would rather you didn’t come to Harlem to campaign with him.

OBAMA:  Good grief.  Harlem?  I’m that toxic?  We are gonna get smoked in November.  Lame duckdom, here I come.

JOE BIDEN:  Loser talk, Chief.  Stay away from the press with that attitude.  MoDo nailed it in her column about me —I’m your go-to PR guy. Now, either hole up at Camp David and watch your world crumble, or trust me to turn things around.

OBAMA: Rescue me, Joe.

BIDEN: All right. But we’re gonna hafta take a page outta Dolly Parton’s book and think outside the buxom.

OBAMA:  Outside the . . . ? (more…)

Last night, the most famous graduate of Cornell Cow College, Keith Olbermann, interviewed the newly minted Democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate, Alvin Greene, an international man of mystery so mysterious that the only possible explanation for his improbable win in the open South Carolina primary is that… he’s a Republican plant!

See for yourself:


You can’t make this stuff up, but of course the left can and does, routinely. Note that it’s Bill Press, another leftist journo-op, who introduces the notion that Greene is a Republican “plant” to Rep. Jim Clyburn (D, S.C.), who dutifully parrots it back, thus allowing Olbermann to put the idea to Greene as if it’s coming from the congressman, instead of the odious Press.

Note that Olbermann goes on to smear, via Clyburn, two other successful Democrat primary candidates, raising “ominous” questions about their sources of funding — as if they couldn’t possibly have either raised or had money on their own. (more…)
