Democrats ask Alvin Green the underdog victor in the SC Democratic Primary to step down, is racism their motive?

oops, that race card fell out of their pocket again

I'm so sick of this damn race card being played all the time! What do ya say to a whole new deck of cards come November???

I'm not going to say it was out of racism they want him to step down, but I've said it already. He is going to make for an interesting candidate, and SC will have an interesting year.

I certainly do hope he really is an anti-establishment candidate that wins the general election, that'll be one hell of a day for SC.

I have heard him on the radio and am totally unimpressed.
He still can't be any worse than half the people already in congress.
If he can win the primary without campaigning he may actually win in November.

I'm not impressed by what I've heard from him either... however, the controversies are making him an interesting candidate.

However, they are right...me and Green unquestionally are racists. Thought for sure that I saw him at the quarterly South Carolina KKK meeting!!!

ROFL!

As defined by the Democrats, they are Indeed RACISTS. ;o)

I agree. He will make for an interesting candidate, that's for sure.

He won, So he should be able to continue on! and really what politician isnt shady and have done bad things in the past?, But we still vote for them

Hes not their guy. They don't know if he will join in the lock step dance they are doing so they don't want him. He beat their person that there money was behind.

I would laugh for a week if he won the general election without any support from the democratic party. Clear proof that voters will accept a candidate, regardless of race, who does not hate America.

if someone doesn't agree with THEM they're racist. if a candidate isn't in their cliche, they need to step down. if they ever made up their minds on anything i will be amazed!

Th reason Alvin Green is under fire is mainly because he cannot account for how he got where he is. Democrats are committing no great act of racism in asking him to step down, as much as conservatives would like to paint it that way.

He refuses to answer questions relating to a felony charge, or to how he funded his campaign despite being unemployed. Regardless of that, there is not a shred of evidence suggesting he even RAN a campaign, which if true (it's true) would be the real problem.

It's a problem for you neocons too, because if Green can pull off an upset like this in the primary he could certainly do it against DeMint. That is, of course, unless he's in your corner.

You must be a liberal - calling people neo-cons w/ no clue as to what that even means, or what their political leanings are.

Mr. Green won - they have the check signed by him, he was not convicted of a crime.
it sounds to me like the ole DNC is showing its racism again.
So

LMAO DeMint is a pretty good senator he is not going anywhere, the polls show that as well.

How unpopular was the incumbent that he could be beat by an unknown who ran no campaign?

Leave him alone

They on the left, I mean the elitist status quo are racist against anyone who isn't a part of the status quo. He worked outside and funded his campaign primarily himself.

That's a big no,no and it's usurping the establishment. It happens on the right as well so let it be known it isn't a one party issue.

I like anyone who challenges the quo in that way.
Go Alvin Greene!

They are criticizing him because he was allegedly charged, but never convicted of a felony. If he wins, he will be among a lot of felons who have not been charged. He should fit in well.

He should fit right in with them.

When you apply their own definitions to them which they apply to those opposed to Obama... yeah, they are racists.

But also look at Artur Davis whom the NAACP and many on the political left opposed in Alabama's Democratic runoff for Governor in favor of the white Liberal Democrat opposing him. You want to know why Democrats lost Alabama? Anyone in their political party who doesn't abide by the rules the Liberals set... won't win the election. It's like the bad old days when the KKK ruled as if you didn't play ball and support them, it guaranteed your defeat for the Democratic nomination http://www.nytimes.com/2010/0...

The times haven't changed nor have the Democrats... they just learned to tell people what they want to hear and when a black political candidate steps out of line or supports some of the oppositions ideals... they become expendable. A black political candidate is no more a token than what they claim about the Republicans and the real Uncle Toms are the one's who tow the Democrat line to retain their political power.

Dumocrats and liberals use the word "racist" when it suits their means.
Green apparently does not fit their mold. Thus, they wil use whatever means they have to discredit him or anyone who disagrees with their socialist philosophy,
Note too, if he is a felon, he will fit right in with the DUmocrats, ala, Charlie Rangel, William Jefferson, ect.

They are racists and bigots also. The sad thing is about half the population of America are too stupid to understand their motives and mindset.

Mr. Greene happens to be under felony charges for showing porno to a college student and some other similar improprieties - that were not brought to light until after he won. . . . I posted the story on my FB Wall yesterday....

But he was not convicted. He is eligible to run - why are they hell bent on getting rid of this man who won fair and square? What is their real motive ???

He didn't win their way so they will use anything they can find to get him off the ballot.
They could care less that he had a felony charge, except as a tool to force him off the ballot.

~ ~ I couldn't believe his answers when interviewed by Keith Olberman; he seemed very stupid..... I personally don't want even ONE MORE stupid politician in office anymore. . . Yes, he has an offense under his belt - that he is not convicted of yet - but is this the kind of politician we even want to take a chance on? Not me

Being accused of a crime should be no deterrent--look at the WH and some of the dems in congress.

It must be racism.

Problem is that the Left will never get it............... There can be no non-Democrats that are black.

They only use the term "racist" when it furthers their agenda. Apparently ... Al Green doesn't further their agenda. They need a more pliable puppet.

They are just upset because they know that Greene cant beat DeMint.

No democrat could beat DeMint.

Never been a question in my mind.

If he he was not convicted of any crime i don't know if they can keep his name off the ballot since he did win the Primary....low morals are not grounds for disqualification or there would be many other out of office or out of the running.

This guy may be more qualified then a rank and file Democrat. Who can predict anything when it comes to southern mentality ?

Like all regions of the country the South has it's intelligent, and not so intelligent. It is the dixiecrat mentality - NOT the Southern

even if he does. the fact he beat the DNC'S front runner shows this will be a easy GOP win!

They're motivated by the desire to win the election the exact same lust for power that characterizes republicans.
