Has Keyes taken some radical positions or something that I've missed, or is he just being lambasted because he's the first plain-spoken conservative to come along in years? If the latter, what a sad commentary.

Depends. Do you consider positions in favor of exempting the descendants of slaves from income tax and in favor of national service, military or other, for all youths radical?
Alan has certainly taken a couple of positions that are off the Republican reservation. But the vast bulk of his positions are straight up the middle of the mainstream of the GOP. People need to get some proportion, and not allow themselves to be swayed so easily by the MSM and the RINOs who would rather see the socialist Obama in office than Keyes.
And there are plenty of them here, including in the inner circle of the Illinois GOP party chair...these are the people that she intends to promote into leadership to take the party even further left. They have admitted publically they intend to vote for Obama.
