It never happened, complete rumor.
Freeper Eternal Vigilance works for Keyes and personally asked him about the rumor. Keyes says it never happened and he has no idea where the rumor originated from.
Btw, if Obama had made such a statement, don’t you think Keyes himself would have used it in one of his eligibility lawsuits?
I’m not jumping on you and please do not take it as I am but what hurts us (Birthers - and I fall into that group!) are all the rumors that are passed off as fact and spread around to show how stupid. nuts, crazy, tin-foil hat laden we are.
Alan Keyes, in an interview with a reporter from KHAS-TV, filmed outside a fundraiser for the AAA Crisis Pregnancy Center in Hastings, Neb., said this:
“Obama is a radical communist, and I think it is becoming clear. That is what I told people in Illinois and now everybody realizes it’s true,” said Keyes, who ran unsuccessfully against Obama for the state’s open Senate seat in 2004. “He is going to destroy this country, and we are either going to stop him or the United States of America is going to cease to exist.”
