Alan Keyes has been given the same kind of treatment that George Allen or Dan Quayle received. This apparently is some kind of reflection on his qualifications to serve, but in reality is is mostly just a discrediting and pre-emptive move to choke off any real debate on the future of this country, by invoking totally irrelevant “shortcomings”, which are only means to mock and obfuscate the positions of the candidate.
So George Allen pinpointed one of the “opposition research” specialists that was dogging his campaign, Dan Quayle was excoriated for a spelling error, and Alan Keyes was slammed for pulling exactly the same tactic that Herself, the Cold and Joyless, has applied in New York (apparently, this is OK in New York, as Bobby Kennedy had done something similar back in the 1960’s).
Yep, you’re right. We should at least give Mr. Keyes the respect of listening to what he has to say. I for one, am going to be watching the Values Voters debate on Monday. I want to say what he has to say and what the other candidates are saying as well. All this rediculous character assassination is really sad.
Same seat, BTW. It went from Kenneth Keating (RINO) to RFK to appointed Chuck Goodell (RINO-Liberal Party) (yes, the daddy of the NFL commish and father-in-law of Fox News babe Jane Skinner), to "the sainted junior Senator from the state of New York", my Senator, on whose campaign I am proud to have worked, Jim Buckley, to Moynihan to Hitlery. And that's just in my memory.
The very idea of Hitlery sitting in Jim Buckley's Senate seat is enough to pee off any good conservative.
