Longshot U.S. Senate Candidate Indicted
Posted: Aug 13, 2010
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Longshot U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene was indicted Friday on two charges, including a felony charge of showing pornography to a South Carolina college student.
A Richland County grand jury indicted Green for disseminating, procuring or promoting obscenity - a felony - as well as a misdemeanor charge of communicating obscene materials to a person without consent.
Greene, who surprised the Democratic party establishment with his primary victory, was arrested in November after authorities said he approached a student in a University of South Carolina computer lab, showed her obscene photos online, then talked about going to her dorm room.
Greene declined comment at his home. He has also refused to talk about the charge in interviews.
Greene, 32, won a shocking victory in the June 8 Democratic primary. The unemployed military veteran handily defeated Vic Rawl, a former lawmaker and judge who had been considered an easy win by the party establishment.
Up to that point, Greene had done no visible campaigning and had no website, fundraising or staff.

Even an indicted criminal could do a better job than the guy - he seeks to unseat.
[ In Reply To ..]Greene not sound that different from Jim DeMint, who knows a thing or two about promoting and disseminating obscenity.
Kinda like that other long shot candidate Brock Landers... - or is it Ben Quayle?
[ In Reply To ..]I get those two confused somehow.
Some get indicted, other get off Scot-free. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Take, for example, that paragon to family values Senator David Vitter R-Louisiana, of the DC Madam’s claim to fame, who voted against protections for women raped on the job, like Jamie Lee Jones, who was working for Halliburton in Iraq when she was drugged and gang-raped by 7 coworkers at age 20. The protection amendment passed with bipartisan support in the Senate by a 68-30 vote margin (Al Franken's first accomplishment as a freshman senator), no thanks to Vitters.
Then there was that nasty aide scandal where Vitters kept Ben Furer on his staff, who had a record of drink diving x3, possession of cocaine and pled guilty to having held his girlfriend at knifepoint and threatened to kill her in a 90-minute ordeal during which he smashed her phone when she tried to call 911. The slash he left on her chin required 8 stitches.
During one of the drunk driving incidents, Furer was seen fighting with a female passenger as the car swerved back and forth across the highway meridian, as reported by one of the police officers, who also said Furer was very verbally abusive with them. He was also involved in a road rage incident in 2008 where he chased down a motorcyclist, hit him with the car, knocking him off the cycle and breaking his leg. For this, Vitters keeps him on the payroll at $54,000 per year handling women’s issues! Later when the info leaked to the press, Vitters lied about Furer’s staff position.

It is good to see Vitters opponent focus attention - on this loser and his character deficits. nm

If he's a convicted criminal he can't vote for himself - but can still be a senator.nm
