World According To Cord

The Alvin Greene Saga's Racist Underbelly

“ In the years since the United States began electing officials, her citizens have deemed fit for office everyone from convicted felons to Sarah Palin  ... . Cord Jefferson, The Brown Table ”

The World According to Cord The angst displayed by Democrats, Blacks included,  after Alvin Greene won South Carolina’s Democratic Senate primary is, according to the author, " ... tainted by the ugly stains that so frequently mar America’s political processes: racism and classism." What horsecrap.  Sen. unelect Greene has been charged with a felony, according to the New York Times,  in a case involving showing pornographic images to a college student;.  And  ... has been unemployed since leaving the military 9 months ago, never held a campaign event; didn’t attend any  Democratic primary gatherings; didn’t have a campaign Web site; never filed any financial reporting forms; is receiving unemployment benefits!  Ridiculing his win then is a sign of " America’s political processes: racism and classism?"   Cord Jefferson, you witless canker-blossom.  Lumping Gov. Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber with convicted felons, as you have,  demonstrates what's ugly here.  Sheesh.  I hope the S.C. Republicans did back Greene's candidacy; a partial repayment for Democrats foisting John McCain on real Americans.  On a tip from Chairman Ann; art credit, Vince Dixon
