Alvin Greene Indicted on Felony Obsenity Charges
**Written by Doug Powers
Alvin Greene is now officially ready to join Congress:
A grand jury on Friday indicted U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene on two charges, including a a felony charge of showing pornography to a South Carolina college student.
Greene was indicted for disseminating, procuring or promoting obscenity, a felony and a misdemeanor charge of communicating obscene materials to a person without consent.
Greene told FoxNews.com that “my lawyer’s dealing with it” before hanging up. When reached again by phone and asked who his lawyer is, Greene said, “It doesn’t matter.”
The Democrats will stop at nothing to get Greene off the ballot so they replace him. This news means Greene’s fully qualified to serve on a Senate SEC oversight comittee, but instead Alvin’s probably going to be dispatched.
If the porn charges don’t stick, maybe Alvin has a couple of unpaid parking tickets they can send him up the river for, at least until after November.
File this one under “Friday unwanted candidate dump.”

The @#$% you say?!
Poor alvil. This is really a blow to the d’s to of their own having felony/or other problems with the law! Maybe alvin can get maxine to give him a list of good lawyers.
L
Fraternities hardest hit ?
Greene told FoxNews.com that “my lawyer’s dealing with it” before hanging up. When reached again by phone and asked who his lawyer is, Greene said,..
I’ll need to see the evidence and compare it to prevailing community standards.
They will offer him a job with the SEC.
Not only is it no longer embarrassing to be a crooked politician these days, being a convicted felon is now a requirement for running in the first place.
Not only a requirement, but a badge of honor in some circles.
P a t h e t i c…and these crooks can actually get a security clearance?
Wonder if Al can get his trial expedited so he’ll get himself convicted before the election…?
Huffington Post claiming the “College Student” was Hannah Giles conducting a sting in 8, 7, 6, 5,……..
“Dewey, Cheatam, and Howe.”
Those circles being known as the Democrat Party.
Notd a problem. In his district, this makes him a shoo-in.
Yup, the party that fights for the rights of felons who’ve served time in jail to vote…those who serve in the military, not so much.
OK, Dem corruptocrat line forms on the left. . .keep it moving, nuts to butts (sorry Barney), no whining, have your pleas ready for processing.
Naturally, only “honest crooks” in the Republican Party circles.
Honest question here – are there any South Carolina residents who can tell us the process in that state for replacing a duly nominated candidate for office with a replacement in a situation like this, or are we talking the full New Jersey here?
The man is just proving he’s a strong Democrat.
The Swift boating of Green. Or is it more like the Mark Foleying of Green?
Correction to my last post:
Naturally, only “honest crooks” in the Republican Party circles.
*Should Be Anvil Greene, as in, used as a boat anchor for the HMS Democrat Party.
*I guess I can stop sending coin to Jim DeMint; Well, actually, I’ve been sending to his Senate Conservatives Fund in support of Angle, Paul, Buck, et al; Palin has her momma grizzlies, but DeMint has the real deal candidates.
Bingo. Palin for show, DeMint for real.
Phil,
The difference is that those of us on the right have no problem pushing for a corrupt Republican to step down. The left instantly rushes to defend any Dem accused of any crime.
Of course, you know that and continue to push for your whole pure party theory. Unfortunately, there aren’t 536 modern day candidates who could meet with Diogenes’ approval.
I know this guy is unreal but — sure damn fast on a Felony charge for showing porn to a College student? College student age is/was? The Dem’s hated the idea this guy was running and received so many votes and I find it odd well not odd but expediant. And as others have said, I nan hear the sound of bus tires going thumpty bump.
What red blooded American male with limited intelligence running for senate as a Democrat candidate could resist a sweet young thing.
Inquiring minds want to know but I am betting that the drive-by media will hush this up as soon as Greene is properly dispatched by the Democrat party.
The hope here is that this will spread around the country as but another demonstration of political corruption – and will lead to many of the elected elite sitting out for eternity.
Pay close attention to SC Election Law. The Courts allowed the New Jersey Dems to violate state law when Torricelli dropped out past the state mandated deadline for parties to submit candidates. We can’t let them get away with it again.
You know this has nothing to do with the GOP, that leaves…
Blame Bush. Every other politician in trouble does it.
BUSH’S FAULT! ARGHHHH, graysonret beat me to it…..
Wow so I’m a felon in the making for showing buddy’s dirty yet funny things. 3-5 years too?
What a pity, he would fit right in with the Congressional Black Caucus gang of Rangel and Waters.
As with all Dems, an indictment is no reason to be concerned, and a conviction qualifies you for a committee chairmanship.
If the GOP didn’t have a well known incumbent running, I’d bet good money that this guy would not only get elected, but re-elected several times.
I’ve seen Alvin Green speak on TV.
I think that he has played too much football without his “heh-met and shoulder-ma-pads.”
The “purity” lie. There is no point reiterating for the millionth time what my position is. You “Republican Uber Alles” closet liberals are no different from Democrats. You even attack conservatives with the exact same lies: bigots, purists, radical extremists, etc… It’s all party over principles.
I hope you are ready for President Hillary because that is where THIS Republican party (yours) is setting us up for.
Yeah, they are called die-hard Republicans.
I don’t vote for liberals or Democrats, especially when they are running as Republicans. If you Republican cultists want to win the independent conservative vote (we outnumber you), you are going to have to change your attitude.
In the DNC its called Street Cred.
The problem is , the guy Green beat had bad poling numbers against the Republican
candidate. Who will they get to run against the republican?
Everyone knows you can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich so these charges are essentially meaningless at this stage. But there’s more. There is the issue of context, the magic word of redemption which changed everything. That in fact, he was trying to show the young lady the kind of things that he had moved beyond, transcended in a word. Aren’t the media, democrats, or anyone for that matter being bigots for denouncing Mr. Green without knowing the full (drum roll) context (just love that word)?
I would like to think the Republicans could come to his aid and thus score points with black voters, but of course that is the most hopeless of dreams. As we all know, see Bulworth’s Law (named for the great Sen. Jay Billington Bulworth), black people will never vote republican, no matter what the democrats do. How very true. Sorry Mr. Greene.
Doesn’t matter. No one can beat DeMint.
That does it!! Dement is toast. This guy is the PERFECT Democrat candidate.
