Clyburn: 'Elephant dung all over the place'
House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) today repeated his earlier suspicions that the Democrat’s Senate candidate in South Carolina might have been a “plant.”
“I believe he’s someone’s plant,” Clyburn said this morning on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I saw in the Democratic primary elephant dung all over the place.” Clyburn has called on state officials to investigate how Alvin Greene won the Senate primary last week. Greene, who was essentially unknown before Tuesday’s primary, is unemployed and is allegedly facing felony charges for showing pornographic images to a college student. Clyburn said he suspects campaign laws were broken by Greene, who allegedly tried to pay his registration fees with cash and had no previous political backing in the state.
Clyburn: ‘Elephant dung all over the place’
You fool
That;s cuz there are Dimms all over the place.
Racist moron
I don’t get what the big deal is. He sounds like a normal
“run of the mill” Democrat candidate.
Yeah
I kinda like the guy
At least he didn’t say Guam was about to tip over !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There may be something to this.
The Dems are experts in dung, after all....
They didn’t seem to have a problem with Greene when they were taking his $10 grand filing check. Now he’s a disaster for them.
What changed?
Same as the oddball for Lt Gov in Illinois?
And they quickly got rid of him !!!
The only interview I have seen with Greene makes him seem a lot smarter and better as a candidate than how his enemies in the Democratic party portray him. Greene stays on point, and pushes an agenda that is probably smarter than that proposed by most Democrats. He actually sounds like a Democratic version of a Tea Party candidate, and he sounds more competent than the typical Democrat, but of course the bar is pretty low in that contest.
An example from his interview:
TR What do you think makes you a better candidate than DeMint?
[Greene]: We have more unemployed now than any other time in South Carolina's history, so something isn't working. We spend two times more on inmates than students. Priorities are not in order. I want to make a difference and Jim--the incumbent Sen. Jim DeMint--he's against the health care reform. They're trying to repeal the health care law that was passed. The Republicans are trying to repeal the health care bill that was signed into law recently. Things like that. That's the difference. I'm for health care reform. And getting folks to work here.
Even if he were competent, he wouldn’t beat DeMint.
If only Olberman had asked Alvin if he'd ever heard of Chauncey Gardiner.
He won by 9 points last time. Even with a better dem opponent it won’t be that close.
Looks like the Dems are having trouble vetting candidates. Little things like felony charges, proof of citizenship, etc. Just small things you know.

Judging by our recent primary he doesn't have to.
Precisely!!!
Haha, Houeto. Was this in Orlando? I seem to remembe that couple at the Tea Party in front of City Hall.
Watching supposedly unbiased, post partisan liberals in action is hilarious.
I think he's speculating, not stating.
A poisonous snake asking for anti-venom...
I thought this was strange. How can it be a crime to show a college student a pornographic image ? College is nothing but a get drunk, get naked and hookup experience anyway....Student was under 18 ??
