Sorry, but Alan Keyes is a loon.
His political beliefs, including his stand on gay marriage, I happen to
agree with. But the value of these beliefs are buried in an intolerable,
know-it-all personality which alienates far more people than it attracts.
Some who might otherwise be receptive to conservative values are
simply put off by an ego which has crossed the line into mosh-pit
lunacy.
Keyes loves being on the harsh edge of conservativism, and thrives
on the notoriety he gets when he makes attention-getting remarks.
Basically, Alan Keyes loves Alan Keyes, in the same way Jesse Jackson
loves Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton loves Al Sharpton and Bill Clinton
loves Bill Clinton. They are all first class hucksters, and it makes me ill
to see conservative Republicans fall for it.

In the post where you described your several reasons for hating--or shall I say disliking--Alan Keyes, I did not observe one shred of evidence to support your case. If it pleases you, please support your case with evidence, and cite how it is different from most other politicians or even most other posters to FR.
One MIGHT argue that your post smacked of an intolerable, know-it-all tone, which alienates more people than it attracts. I happen to understand it is your opinion, though, so I want to give you an opportunity to explain it using something other than invective.
