MSNBC's Keith Olbermann interviewed Greene as if he had Lee Harvey Oswald in the dock. Chris Matthews asked guests: "Do you think this has the look of a dirty trick—sort of a Watergate number?" Watergate, you'll recall, involved the Nixon White House trying to persuade a mildly retarded black man to run for the Senate.
OK, play the watergate card, Chris Matthews! Come to think of it, the Cavs lost to Boston because of all that bad officiating.
Obama senior adviser David Axelrod said Greene was not a "legitimate" candidate and called his victory "a mysterious deal." (Yes, how could a young African-American man with strange origins, suspicious funding, shady associations, no experience, no qualifications, and no demonstrable work history come out of nowhere and win an election?)
Too good.
Perhaps realizing this, liberal loons (Keith Olbermann) are now pushing the theory that Republicans somehow ... rigged the voting machines! (This is what happens when you know absolutely nothing about politics but are given a TV show.)
Yeah, really why is Keith Olbermann any more qualified to do what he does than Alvin Greene is to run for office? I'm not sure Ann is right about Greene being retarded. Maybe he just speaks slowly like Ralph Nader.
all this squawking about Greene being a republican plant serves as evidence that the dems themselves employ the same devious tactics. I remember well the constant MSM touting of McCain and Huckabee, as well as the instances of dems voting for same in primaries.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find a serious piece on the real reason Greene won. Until I do, I'll just assume it's because he's black.
ReplyDeletei think they seriously believe it's b/c his name was first on the ballot alphabetically in the dem column
ReplyDeleteYeah I read that. He is going to be fun. Loose cannon doesn't even begin to describe the guy.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to volunteer for his campaign. Imagine the types you'd meet.
I think Greene got votes from a lot of people who thought he was Al Green, the singer.
