1 ....because they want him out of the race so a Democrat with a chance of winning may enter in his place.

Against DeMint?  I doubt it.

2 GET OUUUUUUUUUUTTT!!!!

3 I see he got to Chapter 4 in Running as a Democrat for Dummies.

4 It is far too late to get a Democrat in his place. If they participated in any of the initial campaigning they are prohibited from entering.

The Democrat PR rag in Columbia is starting to support the "green" candidate.

5 I'd have just beat them with a stick until they were off the property.

But DeMint is the most popular politician in the state right now, nobody was going to beat him anyway.

6

I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but I knew a guy who acted that way once.

He'd had a head injury. Seriously.

Not that I'm defending Green or anything, but he may have a real reason for his behavior.

7 I think he is a perfect example of democrat brilliance.

8 They can put whomever they want up against DeMint.   DeMint will win.  Period.

9 This is my big chance!

10

If you can't even get the media on your side while running as a Democrat, clearly it is time to consider another career.

11 It would be too kool if Greene one. Then we could measure him against Maxine Waters for dumbest cunt in Congress....Of course Shiela Jackson Lee could take that honor. There needs to be a Pulitzer for dumbest politician.

12

There is nothing funny here.

Nothing.

13 In 2012, that will be Obama.

14 Green For President!

15 Noooooo!  Gooooo!

16

Or, as we used to say back home in Alabama, there's something about that boy that just ain't right.

And I pre-denounce myself.

17 Look at it this way, at least Sheila Jackson Lee has someone she can look down on. 

18 I said this before and I'll say it again. Greene may not be the brightest bulb in the bunch, but he served his Country ( twice ) honorably, if not with great glory. That's more than I can say about most Democrats. Leave him be.

19 Hmmm, he ticks off the Lib establishment, he has come out of nowhere to garner major media attention, he is a veteran, he can't be accused of racism and he has an absolutely unique way of communicating with the "little people...
The GOP has just found their candidate for 2012!!!! Woo-hoo!

20 Speaking of crazy people...

I missed this when it appeared a couple years ago, but here's Cynthia McKinney claiming that, during Katrina, 5,000 young black men were massacred, their bodies dumped in the swamp.

21 Alvin Greene?  Sure, sounds good, we'll throw our resources to him.  DeMint's gonna be tough to knock off but we have to give it a shot, and this guy ought to be as good as anyone...

Oh... he's black...?  Um, yeahhhhh, well... uh... you know, maybe supporting him isn't THAT good an idea... y'know, electability and all... yeah, we're really not sure about this guy... kind of a strange little dude, when you get down to it... yeah, can we have someone else?

_{That white guy who lost to him?  Yeah, he sounds good, how about him?}

22 Alvin Greene is Just Barack Obama without a teleprompter.

23

24 Who's scarier, Greene, or the people who are still planning to vote for him?

25 Maybe I should consider running...

26 25 mellow Rush,

Yes....

I lived in Richland county during their primary...the funny thing the people who got him the nod....they think he's doing just fine.

27 Sorry, OT but the posts are coming so fast and thick...

 Check out this idea based on Kelo at American Thinker.  Look, if the proggies want to play by the rules we have, the let's play by them.  Remember Ace's brilliant post about the oil spill and how Katrina changed the rules, making the spill Barry's problem?  How forcing Bush to own Katrina makes Barry own the gulf spill?

The proggies should be forced to drink the poison of Kelo if the rest of us have to drink it as well.

28 The press is trespassing on a black mans property, and harassing him?

Where is his shotgun?

Mr Alvin Greene, that's with an E making him a African-African, is a very smart man surrounded by illiterate crackers trying to make him out to be an idiot.  The white devils still be wearin' the sheets and burning crosses, but Mr. Greene, that's with the E, is a black man of honor, dignity, and intestinal fortitude the way he has stood up to all the white crackers.

36 OK, not a week ago, two days ago.

37 Actually THREE days ago, Friday the 13th.  Maybe Alvin was having a vampire day?

38 He appears to have the mental capacity of a 5 year old. Doesn't he know the cutoff for elected Democrats is 4?

39 Maaaaaaatt!  Daaaaaaamon!

stolen from Hot Air

Greene is “usually capable of handling mundane tasks with supervision” but is “not able to adapt to any changes to daily routine,” the reviewer wrote, also noting that Greene had received multiple disciplinary actions for failing to perform his duties.

Greene was also written up for posting sensitive information on a military Internet server, a mistake that resulted in a three-day work stoppage. Records showed Greene was kept at Shaw while the rest of his unit deployed after leadership “recognized his inability to contribute to the wartime mission.”…

The reviewer also wrote Greene “required a daily to-do list” to perform basic duties and had a “consistent inability to follow instructions or maintain basic job knowledge.” Most seriously, the reviewer wrote that Greene would represent
“a threat to others” because of his inability to grasp the basics of military training.

In additional comments, the reviewer said she would not recommend Greene for promotion but did note his community service work and fundraising efforts for a holiday party. “While Alvin is a decent person, he lacks the basic skills necessary for promotion,” the summary said.

43 .... "marley & me" has chase scenes, mindless destruction of property, an awesome hairy beast with huge fangs and a hot, groovy lovebabe. ....

45 43,

the idea of "honorable service" has deteriorated greatly since Clennis and Keri....

no unless convicted of treason ALL service is honorable....

and in a harsher command climate depending on what he leaked Senator greene would have been up on charges.

46 Someone needs to just grab this guy in a choke hold and ask him , "Who Are You?", repeatedly.

47 43 - sounds perfect for the Senate. Can we trade him for Stuart Smiley.

48
in other words, Alvin Greene was a burden on the Air Force so they discharged him

49
Alvin Greene has a right to walk around that university library and find people reading porn magazines.  Mr. Greene asked the young lady to accompany him back to his place for a counseling session, in the great tradition of Jesse Jackson who also gave religious teachings to misguided young women. 

50 Well, I guess The University of South Carolina will be honoring their graduate, Alvin, at the first football game, right?

I mean that degree got him to Private first class and then discharged.  I am sure he WASN'T affirmative action admitted.  Really. 

Yeah Really???

Go Cocks.

54 45 Nevergiveup,

I'll credit him with enlisting, I'll even credit him with not serving dishonourably but he is about as competent as barney Fife in a time of war....that discharge was a pretty strong rebuke....SCANG essentially said, "no Al really we're better off without you this trip".....

that is a HUGE step given how desperate the branches are for force density numbers.

55 55 Rickshaw jack,

he had to have released them himself, or they got them vis a vis the charges he faced...

Alvin Greene is Just Barack Obama without a teleprompter.

 

Best comment so far.  And true.  As a matter of fact, comparing Greene to Obama is a slam on Greene.

58 Left behind on deployment? He could have been the rabbit (the rabbit, the man or women least qualified or important to getting your mission done. The rabbit's job is to unmask first when the all clear is given during a chemical attack so that reactions can be observed before the rest of the unit unmasks. The rabbit list is a very effective motivational tool.)

I tried, but they fucked me out of serving when I asked for a Commission.

63
they're basically saying he's a retard...

Greene is “usually [usually, not all the time] capable of handling mundane [the simplest of...] tasks with supervision [with an adult present to hold his hand].”

So even with supervision, Alvin still couldn't perform janitor duties. Not really an asset to the Air Force, was he?

64

_{Careful ace, or the charges of *ahem* "RACISM111!!!1!11!!!" will start being lobbed at you by your progressive moral and intellectual betters.}

65 You know he might have been howling because he was having some sort of sex with his dad?

Yeah, that's it.  Alvin is Ghey too? 

This might help him with the MSM.

Wonder why he's not been on Stewart's show?  To embarrassing?

66
I'll credit him with enlisting...

Absolutely agree!

67 that is a HUGE step given how desperate the branches are for force density numbers. Posted by: sven10077 at August 16, 2010 03:23 PM (kq1lG) Hey I am not endorsing him by any stretch of the imagination. It's just that he is obviously of limited intelligence. I just don't want to make fun of someone like that who at least tried to serve honorably. He probaably did the best he could. If I make fun of anyone, it's the moronic democratic voters of South Carolina, not Greene. And the Military is not so desperate for recruits by the way. No one is getting out since Obama's economy sucks so much. There is a waiting list to get into the Marines.

68
You think Basil Marceaux was a good Marine?

George Bush couldn't cut it in the Texas Air National Guard, and Alvin Greene couldn't cut in the Air Force.  There is no difference.

Not cool since John Kerry has yet to release his, ??? form???, I forgot the number of the form.

71 What is weird is that the guy made it through boot, and then supply school (I think he is supply) and then gets bounced after 12 yrs or so.  I seriously think he might have adult onset schizophrenia/mental illness.

72 71

Good point, those jet Bush flew, while he was clearly drunk, were programed by the CIA.

Yeah, that's it.

73 68 no mr. bond,

I mean i enlisted and served as honorably as i could, got hurt on my first contract pretty bad couldn't walk  without a cane for a bit....point is my discharge says Medical Endured Prior to Service Service Aggravated.  It is considered a step above a general discharge.

"Honorable" Discharge means you served your entire term with no UCMJ actions over an article 15 and good service.

Honorable

To receive an honorable discharge, a service member must have received a rating from good to excellent for their service. Service members who meet or exceed the required standards of duty performance and personal conduct, and who complete their tours of duty, normally receive honorable discharges. However, one need not complete a term of service to receive an honorable discharge, provided the reason for involuntary discharge is not due to misconduct. For instance, a person rendered physically or psychologically incapable of performing assigned duties will normally have their service characterized as honorable, regardless of whether the condition or disability was incurred in the line of duty, provided they otherwise exceeded standards.

An honorable discharge can, on rare occasions, be granted to a former service member (whose service was characterized as less than honorable) as an act of clemency, should that person display exemplary post-service conduct and show evidence of outstanding post-service achievement in areas such as education and employment.

Marines must have a proficiency and conduct rating of 3.0/4.0 or higher to receive an honorable discharge. Proficiency and conduct ratings below the threshold of 3.0/4.0 is evidence in itself of a diversion from Marine Corps high standards and will be used against a Marine at discharge.

So again it is not denigrating him to say "honorable might be a stretch", if his command was punitive in seeking discharge he may not have gotten it and would need to apply for an upgrade.

74 Did he get the USAF to pay for college, as well. ... and lets remember, he somehow managed to scrounge up 10K and win a major party nomination for the US Senate. He's walking the earth under some kinda sign - maybe he has episodes?

75
I seriously think he might have adult onset schizophrenia/mental illness.

Has to be. Because there's no way he'd make it out of the recruiter's office the way he is now. So maybe Alvin did serve honorably for a few years and then turned idiot.

76
And he's got a BA or BS, right?

77 I guess this is really a persnickety claim of bias: yeah, the howling like an animal isn't exactly normal.

78 59 nevergiveup,

Saying it was a huge step getting rid of him when the force is hot for force density doesn't mean they are hurting for recruits...that is a unit number not a forcewide one....

and I've seen people missing kidneys and a guy with a broken back get forced to go by their unit surgeon's saying "I will maintain constant and vigilant oversight of the soldier's condition their presence is mission vital."

Hell one of my soldiers' subordinates was given a no teeth article fifteen for popping hot again because of Unit Force density metrics...

DD-214 all fucking day for Jon Carry's benefit.

Seriously, what I love about that interview is how uncomfortable the self imagined "journalist" doing must feel while doing it.

I mean, he probably imagines himself as being in the mold of Edward R. Murrow.  He'll be the voice and consience of the country, comforting the afflicted, and afflicting the comfortable.  News scoops that lead to pulitzer prizes are what he dreams of...

And what does he actually find himself doing?  Standing in the rain with soggy tennis shoes on, in the middle of a soggy, overgrown lawn talking with Alvin Greene's brother, while his purported interview subject is howling and wailing ...  "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Man, after that interview, I think that guy went home, poured himself a nice glass of white wine and wept to himself while soaking in a hot bath.  Was probably chanting "Calgon, take me away... at the same time too."

81 81 Fish, EXACTLY....the moral of the story is Ace was correct the guy should have realized you wait until AFTER elected to sexually harass people as a democrat and then you're covered.....

the guy's record leaking is proof the donk machine was his hitman not us.

82 Is it wrong that I have a little pity in my heart for Alvin?  He at least has a decent reason for the things he says and does (he literally is stupid); the rest of the Dems don't (well, ok, a few of them are stupid as well, but they're evil, rat bastard stupid -- aka. just smart enough to be on the take; whereas Alvin isn't smart enough to be that criminal).

83 I still want my Alvin Greene action figure, though.

84

unknown jane, yeah, yer right.

Alvin Greene IS stupid.  But he is amazingly awesome at the same time too.

 

85

77 No way he could make it out of the recruiter's office?  Dude, did we serve in the same military?  Hey, some of the guys and gals are good people -- but they are functionally illiterate.  My husband had to help a guy try to understand the Article 15 he was up on...dude couldn't read.  My daughter had a guy in her squad that had to have his duty assignment repeated to him three times...and he still messed up.

God love 'em, but there's some stupid mofos in the military. (and no, not all of them are that way Mr. Lurch, you frak)

86 The dems have a gold mine in Greene but don't even know it. 

87 There'll be a Michael Moore movie:  "Mr. Greene Goes to Washington, Kind Of".

88 As for Basil...well, he possibly could have been a good Marine.  Somebody like that -- as long as they're basically decent, are patriotic, thus willing to obey and not question orders...give them a job that doesn't take too much brain power and let them do it.  Then don't talk them into re-upping.

89

I'm imagining this scene:

Captain Jane:  "Private Read, you have been brought up on this Article 15 for violating Article 93 of the UCMJ.  The maximum penalty is 14 days extra duty, 14 days restriction, and two weeks loss of pay.  Do you understand?"

Private Dude Can't Read:  "NOOOOOOO!!!!  GOOOOOOOO!!!"

Captain Jane:  *sigh*  "Sergeant, escort this man back to the company day room and explain to him what all this means..." *pops an asprin...pops a second asprin*

90 76 Did he get the USAF to pay for college, as well. ... and lets remember, he somehow managed to scrounge up 10K and win a major party nomination for the US Senate. He's walking the earth under some kinda sign - maybe he has episodes

I am pretty sure he had graduated from USC BEFORE his service.

91

91 I'm laughing because honestly, there have been moments where what you just wrote are pretty much the truth, no shitting, the truth.

Hey, Alvin is getting a bit of  raw deal here imho.

Alvin did at least serve and has not denigrated the military (cough, Kerry, cough, Murtha)

Alvin at least had the idea of increasing manufacturing to promote jobs (now how many Dems have subscribed to that idea, huh?)

Alvin showed dirty pictures to an adult coed, but he did ask her to come back to his room rather than forcing himself on her (in other words, Alvin did not get her drunk or roofie'd up and take her for a car ride, nor did he turn her into a coed sandwich).

Seriously, Alvin is like one of the most honorable canidates the Dems have come up with in a long time...and the Dems are siccing their media lapdogs on him.  Coincidence? I think not!

92 Aren't Greene's attack dogs showing their "racism"?  I mean, that's been the non-stop accusation hurled at anybody who voices any criticism of Obama.
