< ...your several reasons for hating... Alan Keyes... >

Excuse me ?   Shall we now discuss the use of invective ?

I didn't inject that word into our conversation.   You did.

Perhaps you should "support your reasons for doing so with evidence."

< ...your post smacked of an intolerable, know-it-all tone... >

In other words, we are to regard Mr. Keyes just the way you regard
Mr. Keyes, and then we are to shut up.   Correct ?   End of subject.

Gosh, it may be difficult for you to understand this, but there's actually
more than one opinion out here about who best promotes conservative
values in our culture.

We agree on the objective premise that Alan Keyes is right on the issues.   I said that.   Maybe you forgot.

We disagree on subjective matters.   You find him "amiable" and
"unflappable".

I find him a self-aggrandizing wack, in the tradition of Al Sharpton.

Nonetheless, were I a resident of Illinois, I'd vote for him.   Despite
his inflated ego, he's still a better choice than Obama.

It's beyond me why Illinois Republicans couldn't do better than this,
but oh well.

By the way, Outlaw, Mr. Keyes prefers to be addressed as "Dr. Dream".

I didn't inject that word into our conversation.

Given the charges you leveled in your post, it seemed like reasonable speculation...but I gave an alternative in case it didn't fit.

In other words, we are to regard Mr. Keyes just the way you regard Mr. Keyes, and then we are to shut up. Correct ?

I never said anything of the kind. You are entitled to your opinion. I just asked you to resort to your reason instead of your ad hominems. I do not think the invective is productive.

I assure you that your hostility towards me is unfounded.

By the way, Outlaw, Mr. Keyes prefers to be addressed as "Dr. Dream".

And you wonder why I even dare suggest the word "hatred?"
