There we have what? Just because he provided more details doesn't make it any less reparations, any less pandering, or any less insane.

I'm still trying to understand why this piece should make me say, "Oh, okay. Nevermind."

I guess it's that he wants to ultimately abolish the income tax for all. But, of course, he's not proposing that *that* immediately happen; he just wants reparations now.

Is there anything Keyes can say that his supporters won't defend? Supporting reparations is not a conservative idea, no matter how much his fans try to spin it.

LOL. Well, I know that earlier some folks were saying that this wasn't a racial thing, but just a tax exemption for descendants of slaves. Here, at least, Keyes makes it more clear that this proposal is about "removing the tax burden from the black community for a generation or two. . . ."

I'm glad he clarified that.

I can't wait to see what he's cooking up for tomorrow. ;-)

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Alan Keyes has just released a statement clarifying...

There you have it. Again.
