Did you miss my point, EV?
It might behoove you to listen to what people are saying and not be so defensive. If Alan Keyes could abandon his habit of being so openly, bitterly critical of other Republicans, he would have much, much more support. He would even have mine.
I'm just speaking honestly about the problem. I know why people don't like Keyes, and it has nothing to do with anyone's "sacred cow" being "gored". It isn't some external issue. It's his lack of grace toward others.
And you imitate him. I read this thread and saw you tell people who were simply discussing Keyes and this issue to "grow up", that they're "better than that", and that they are stupid.
People don't respond positively to such things. Surprise, surprise.
You and your friends have slammed, slurred, denigrated and criticized every word and action of Alan Keyes for four long years on FR.
Virtually every Keyes thread, at every opportunity.
Why should you be surprised when people hit you back?
Why do I owe you a decent response when you and the other anti-Keyesters have behaved so indecently for so long?
