I recently saw a status update on facebook that said, "For those yall supporting Alvin Greene you need to wise up. You just hurting the cause of the black man."
I laughed pretty hard at first, but then it got me thinking about the whole situation out there in South Carolina. So, if you are not aware of the controversy, what happened was some no-name gentleman decided to run for the South Carolina US Senate seat in the Democratic primary. With no money, and hardly any advertisements, Alvin Greene won the primary and is now on the South Carolina ticket for November elections.
Not so controversial yet, I know...but wait. Within two days of his primary victory he was asked to withdraw by every Democrat in the state pretty much, since he is facing felony charges for showing, uh, inappropriate pictures to some college girl. It was at this point the conspiracy theories began to fly.
"He is a Republican Plant!" they scream. "He didn't pay his fees!" "He accepted unauthorized monies!"
Yeah, yeah. We hear ya. Want to hear the truth though? Alvin Greene is a black man, who was running for office against an old white guy in the state with the highest percentage of African Americans in the Union.
No conspiracy theories needed. When will these people realize that 97% of citizens know absolutely nothing about the people they vote for other than what they look like, and what their name is? The populace is retarded. Well, most of them are. This is especially true when it comes to politics.
Case and point:
(P.S. I am not a big Michael Savage fan, but I have to admit he does crack me up once in a blue moon)
SUPER AWESOME UPDATE:
Apparently, this same lady has also called Rush. The sound and video quality isn't great so here is the transcript.
And the video....
