Alvin Greene Answers Nearly Every Question With "DeMint Started the Recession"

[havlorech]

I will always despise DeMint for refusing to debate Alvin Greene, denying the world Alvin Greene debate footage. And also for starting the recession.

[TheEIREGUNNER]

really america???? bush now this guy wtff?? maybe the stereotype is kinda true

[coyotefever105]

Lawrence O'Donnell was practically sucking Greene's cock in this interview

[tooltalk]

hmm.. I wonder if he's related to Kayne West.

He's a democrat alright.

[Bleumange]

@tooltalk what?

[insanic1]

he won because black people vote for black people

[impacc00]

this shit is mad funny my damn side hurtin.....

[mmeziere]

How did this guy become the nominee?

[rLOVEutionFor2012]

@mmeziere Because he's black.

[dudesonman4200]

@rLOVEutionFor2012

Nooo actually. Hes obviously a Republican plant.

[SarsecPally]

@dudesonman4200 So how did that force people to cast votes for him?

[dudesonman4200]

@SarsecPally

The Republicans rigged the election.

[SarsecPally]

@dudesonman4200 So the GOP rigged the Dems own party primary? This makes no sense.

[dudesonman4200]

@SarsecPally

The GOP rigged it so their democrat, the retarded one, would win because they knew he would have no chance whatsoever against even demint. If they didnt rig it, then Greene would have obviously lost, allowing the other democrat who tried to run against Greene the legitimate opportunity of defeating demint.

[andro89]

@dudesonman4200 Yes but how did the GOP rig it? You've really got to watch Jon Stewart's take on this.

[Bystander81]

This is essentially what all politicians do, it's just that most of them are more eloquent about it. Just about every question you ask a Democrat will result in a similar answer.

[mambeux]

I wish he had made it to office just so he could've been given lots of camera time

[GroovyColouredLove]

i wish he won lol

[latino13x3]

Demente started the ressesion

[H1TMANactual]

O'Donnell blowing a Democrat. What a surprise!

[CandyLaStar]

I wanna see Alvin Greene vs George W. Bush in a Jeopardy like game I'd totally pay money to see that contest of wits! :O

[mm123]

I bet O'Donnell laughed his ASS off when he went to commercial!!!!!!!!!!

[mm123]

LOL WOW!!!!!!! Even O'Donnell doesn't have any idea what to make of this guy!

[BrettN2011]

It was DeMint... in the ballroom... with the lead pipe.

[48073419900127]

is that Radio?

[httm241]

@48073419900127 this was not even an election alvin did not even stand a chance

[MaicoMoon]

I'm not quite sure, but I think DeMint started the recession.

[htiberian]

DeMint is da reason fo da 2012 Mayan calender, um and he be da asteroid dats headin fo Earth.

RESEARCH, RESEARCH, DO DA RESEARCH!

[looking527]

holy shit lol

[Sistarovat]

You think South Carolina's going to send a pro-NAACP nigger to Washington? Well, I guess they already gave us that answer.

[insanic1]

the counties that alvin greene won and got the majority of the vote was where african americans were 60% of the population...

[JaimzSB]

WTF is wrong with this guy?!

[bdungan]

Alvin may have been a joke as far as a Senate nominee goes, but why is the nickname "turtle" of any relevance?

[fokkhead]

@bdungan He was implying that this race might go as the race between the turtle and the hare.

[wolf18179]

lmao this dude is a plant and if you want the evidence got to dallasgoldbug page and see who this fake dude is peace!

[nakata2112]

"Seriously Alvin" lol

[gregarious24]

My favorite part was where he said DeMint started the recession.

[ThaGenius101]

I would loooooove to see Alvin in a debate. This dude is in first gear 24/7.

[MrDetwaa]

Thank you for serving our country. With that being said, you are still a fucking idiot.

[Laughingblades]

@MrDetwaa Stop being racist.

[TheJuggalo62587]

Almost sounds like Michele Bachman. . .

[tr4nc3d]

Put Alvin Greene and Basil Marceau in a debate against each other.

Comedy Gold

[Panzergrenadier1488]

He sounds unintelligent as HELL.

[tonyteb]

a turtle is a F16 next to this moron

[TheCaliCapitalist]

It's really hard for me to like Lawerence after he asked that guy why he was called turtle in high school. It's obivious because people thought he was slow.

[enjerth78]

@TheCaliCapitalist What, it couldn't suggest that he's methodical, has a tough shell, and he paces himself to come from behind and win the race?

It's obvious AFTER hearing his answers.

[stevemtc1]

@enjerth78 Hes just out to give us a little taste right now Hes got a thing like a Presidential run coming up. I cant wait he will destroy the competition

[alexanderherzdorf]

What an idiot...

[iamborat100]

De Mint "pulls lever"

*Recession starting in 5...4...3...2...1*

De Mint "ahahahahahahaha!"

[jilante]

WOW! I haven't seen this video yet...this is disturbing...

[shoes1921]

O Donnell-are u a turtle?

Greene-No, Demint started the recsession!

O Donnell-so are u stupid?

Greene-I cant answer that! But Demint started the recession! Can I have some candy?

O Donnell-alright your on your talking points!

[shoes1921]

if there is a such thing as illuminati i think they sent this asshole!

he aint got a grip on his own brain!

he sound truely brainwashed by something!

[sparda9060]

the first 30 secs of the news reporter telling us about his background information just really best describes a retard who can't even live on his own but yet people are stupid enough to vote for him to win the primary. this is america alright.

[romy5260]

I posted a comment a week ago concerning this video. My opinion was not based on any information, other than the videos posted on Youtube. I am not familiar with SC politics; it was just an opinion. Hopefully, this comment has not offended or hurt anyone else's feelings on youtube like it has already.

[churp67]

If this was supposed to be performance art, it's brilliant.

[FartyFace]

This video is racist against black people

[mysock351W]

When something like this shows up after the primaries, the voters are trying to tell you something about your party. I'll give you a hint: its not because your doing a good job. At least we wont have to do this with Obama. He's already the worst possible candidate you could possibly get for the Democrats.

[sun2515]

god help us

[tdh5105]

He was obviously high or something lol

[Drewderpderpderp]

Seems like a typical sort of democrat

[Laughingblades]

@Drewderpderpderp NIGGER STOLE MY BIKE!

[romy5260]

There is absolutely no way this guy won the SCDN. I seriously think he is a plant by the SC republicans, & I'm a NC resident....

[Ricks550]

Is this real!? It can't be....!!!!!!!

[moti4love]

who Started the Recession ?

[Zentz29]

LMAO!

Someone posted a comment referencing this video & I just HAD to come back & watch it again.

What a complete moron!

Derp-a-derp derp Demint!

[1Nbillion817]

I think he's just tired from racing the rabbit.

[L2112Lifz]

I'm glad that people haven't forgotten that DeMint started the recession.

[zspree88]

where we at right now in this country niggah ? define it hommie.

btw his opening "good evening" was his most intelligent remark in this interview*

[bballadante]

Democrats aren't even trying to beat the Republicans in the South anymore...

[TheJayJamaal]

I straight up light my blunts with rolls of cash...

so fuck a recession, and get faded.

xxx.youtube.com/watch?v=WDZ9hn­­jSrjk

[towerofcastle]

Alvin Greene embodies the American Dream in that anyone from any background can prove the doubters wrong. I'll tell you one thing, he is more honest and in touch with the people than DeMint will ever be.

[danning1]

@Bearpr0n And the DOW dropped 419 points today, plus they say we actually are entering another recession for real due to sluggish growth, monetary concerns, etc. as reflected by the most recent job numbers.

(sarcasm alert) If only South Carolina had elected Alvin Greene, then this wouldn't have happened! DeMint couldn't have continued his mischief.

[scrambledpenis]

God I feel so sorry for the voters of south carolina it was either demint(Who may or may not have started the recession) who believes that teachers whom are divorced should not be allowed to teach and a mentally challenged person!

[scrambledpenis]

@danning1 exactly!

[Taurai321]

Who started the recession?

[stonem001]

why would ANYONE vote for Demint over this guy! SERIOUSLY!???

[Rammagith]

It IS possible that he is proposing the "mint", or coin producing factory, is responsible for the recession. From there, we can easily determine he was metaphorically referring to the fed reserve and their printing of money, which in turn is an obvious reference to the overspending of Washington. "Da mint" could also be a reference to the outsourcing of American jobs to India, the largest cultivars of mint. So you see, he could be right about "Da Mint" playing a role in our recession.

[ArtinEmil]

I have a question, is Alvin Greene implying that Demint started the recession?

[JUDALATION]

The conservatives voted for him to get rid of the real democratic contender... America is screwed my friends....

[bigticketub]

This is what happens when you let inbred retards vote.

[ZenStudent83]

Is this a fucking joke???

[SomethingRules]

@ZenStudent83 DeMint started the recession.

[TheKingKarlo]

Hey at least this is one thing that both Democrats and Republicans can laugh over.... although I think the anti-DeMint movement will be laughing as hard as everyone else.

[TheRandomAssassin1]

oh democrats, thanks for making this easy.

[JUDALATION]

@TheRandomAssassin1 The conservatives voted for him to get rid of the real democratic contender... America is screwed my friends....

[MrBrian0506]

What you've just said ... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Lawrence O'Donnell you're an idiot.

[drewsky684]

demint disliked this video 18 times

[toldtrueguy]

Fuck it I'm running for senate.

[Lordvanderbelt]

No!

[GSCommander]

All people in SC are that smart.

[RagnarOdinsson]

Where is Larry's upper lip? Did all the dicks in and out just wear it off or what?

[BlackScorpio1990]

Good work America.

[RaynMan718]

I finally get it.

[edgarbm95]

is this a parody? somebody please tell me!

[celestino001]

he always says good evening. This guy might not be as crazy as he looks. maybe Demint did help start the recession.

[isteemaen]

What a great interviewer...starts out by decrediting the guy, talking about distributing porn, asking are you a witch? why were you called 'turtle' in high school? Sure the witch stuff was a joke, but come on it's probably one of the first times he's live on national TV, it's normal for him to be a little in shock and try to stick to his main points.

[MrMoljaca]

@isteemaen

Are you kidding me? the guy can't speak correctly and is obviously repeating a line he memorized 1000 times or read off a teleprompter.. and the turtle nickname is pretty damn obvious. He was called turtle because i'm sorry to say he's a little slow and dimwitted with all do respect. He can't carry on a normal conversation. I mean damn, has he ever learned to have a normal competent conversation with a person? if he felt insulted he can by all means fire back but he doesn't know how.

[rovibe]

@MrMoljaca -- I was thinking the same thing about the 'Turtle' name, but I wonder if Green is so stupid he's the only one who doesn't get the joke?

[deg169]

Boy SC really fucked up not electing this guy! lol

[TheHunter14792]

i hate the smug smile on o'donnell's face

[DTA550]

Poor guy.

[SadegoGG]

Alvin Greene/Al Gore 2012!

[bad4ever2001]

Joe Rogan sent me here. I was laughing all the way. The interview is hillarious!

[ThorOdinson14]

I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down. I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down. I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down. I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down. I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down. I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down. I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down. I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down. I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down. I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down. I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down.I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down. I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down.I Pick Things Up And Put Them Down

[SciMasterGeneral]

Cavemen are better spoken than this idiot. He seems like he can't even keep a thought in his head.

[Frog869]

what the fuck?

[scrambledpenis]

It is not his fault. he hired the same people as bush did.

[urwhatthewho]

That was sad

[rmccay88]

I never thought anyone running for public office could be dumber than Sarah Palin until the world was introduced to Alvin Greene. Even the most hardcore ultra progressives should concede that point...

[GeneralGoosey]

@rmccay88 In fairness, Palin actually got elected, and she actually had a chance of being Vice President. This guy was doomed to fail regardless.

[danning1]

18 people helped DeMint start the recession.

[moti4love]

@danning1

haahhahahahahahahahaha

[RSG132]

Is this a Mad Tv Sketch



[tjohn1986]

Look at O'Donnell trying to cover up for him "there you go you're on to your talking points" lmao

[TheWALOS]

To be fair, the interviewers questions were extremely asinine.

[Richardbren]

O'Donnell should savour this one...not many reporters get an interview like this.

[tia30947]

alvin greene = genius. pure genius. 

[xJeSsiicaXAlbaX69dme]

dude i'd wanna party with this guy!

[teflontahj]

I think somehow someway, him, Sarah Palin, and Michelle Bachmann are the bastard triplets of Dan Quayle.

[HimmiJoe]

America of today. America of tomorrow? We'll see! =)

[Nothingizm]

I thought you had to be smart to get into the air force.... guess not? lol

[Cerberus5159]

He may be a complete fool, but he's still hilarious to watch.

[GodfatherXXI]

He's the fuckin' Forrest Gump of politics.

[This1s4Reimer]

Thank God I'm Canadian

[Cowboy0077]

I WANNA SEE ALVIN GREENE'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE

[danning1]

@Cowboy0077 Greene might not be able to read well enough to go look for it in public records in South Carolina.

[RabidEasterBunny]

It's nice to know lobotomy victims can become polititians in the great country of ours.

[AGDIRGIA]

I hope to God that he does not win! If he does, this country is finished.

[ten14000]

"crazy high mode" to "extreme suicide mode?"?

normally im just like really bad, depressed or lame normal.

but sometimes i get all this crazy energy like i can rise up and be powerful and beat up anyone and rule the world and im in CHARGE BABY! i call it crazy high mode.

but then theres "extreme suicide mode" which is like omg...i want to die so bad.... its just this completely hopeless feeling.

i eat only mcdonalds/taco bell/raw pasta for the last 7 months.

could this contribute?

[RushLimborg]

Question: How did this mindless drone get past the primaries?

Answer: The DNC didn't want to waste their money and time by promoting anyone stronger--they knew Jim DeMint was UNBEATABLE!

So the more competent Dem was slammed down, leaving the party with the living embodiment of the Affirmative Action problem.

[wilsonsmanz]

@RushLimborg Wrong answer. The answer is.... DEMINT STARTED THE RECESSION, DEMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RECESSION.

[ThaGenius101]

Alvin Greene/Sarah Palin 2012!

[Ant1Live]

Is he turtley enough for the Turtley Senate? Turtle, Turtle!!!!!

[steelermia]

I thought he was referring to 'the mint' 

[jFizzlfication]

This guy can not be the next president... he seems retarded

[socrstreets]

I was just waiting for him to say "go to google and type in [insert bullshit]"

[TreesOfBaylor]

Lives with his parents.....

[RushLimborg]

HE CAN'T EVEN ANSWER THE SOFTEST OF SOFTBALL QUESTIONS!!!

[RushLimborg]

"But where did that nickname come from?"

"No."

[sumanadream]

He is a turtle!! lol



[devdev194]

i'm sorry. who started the recession again?

[myfirsaccount1234567]

Man All those people who voted for Jim DeMint who started the recession

[halflifeproductionz]

this guy is is just too fucking funny! "demint started the recession" bwahaahahah.

[barsandstars220]

South Carolina is a fucking joke. This man is the pinnacle of the African-American community. I thought we were passed all of this baseless racism. Diversity is our strength.

[angryscowl]

Celebrate Diversity!!!!

[surfmb70]

He's actually effectively using brainwashing techniques.

[grizzlyWhere]

I don't think he knows what "mismanagement" means.

[fashioncorpse]

I'm Brian Fellows

[MorbidMira]

He doesn't seem dumb, just a horrible speaker. Hilarious either way! =D

[razorbacker63]

Demint ate all the KFC.

[Mercasio]

holy shit... this guy is retarded

[danning1]

Greene could have simply said, "I'm not here to answer questions like that (i.e. about his nickname 'Turtle'), I'm here to discuss the upcoming election and the issues. Please let's stick with what's important." That's how the better candidates handle annoying or trivial questions from reporters.

[x0x0xStephenx0x0x]

I think the main issue with this video is that most of you guys watching really don't understand. Demint started the recession. Its to my knowledge that he had some record cuts to educations. and uhm.. supported the bush cuts...and uhm... uhm..the wars were managed in Iraq...and uhm...and its destroyed this country. Thats FACT Demint started the recession guys.

[WithSomeSpareTime]

His head just looks like a turtle.

[thespotteddog]

Makes sense to me. One morning Jim DeMint got up and said "Hot damn!! I'm gonna start a recession"
