“Alan Keyes Is Making Sense” to Air Weeknights at 10PM, ET Beginning January 21st
SECAUCUS, NJ- January 7, 2002- Former Presidential Candidate and Reagan-era U.S. Ambassador at the United Nations, Alan Keyes has joined MSNBC as host of a new one-hour commentary show, “Alan Keyes Is Making Sense,” weeknights at 10PM, ET. Erik Sorenson, president and general manager, MSNBC, made the announcement today.
“We're excited that Alan is bringing his highly-regarded grasp of global issues and his larger-than-life personality to MSNBC," said Sorenson. "This network has distinguished itself as the cable news channel for smart young viewers interested in knowing about their world. Alan's deep knowledge, incredible capacity to frame debate, and provocative views will be a great addition to an already-terrific primetime lineup.”
“Alan Keyes Is Making Sense” is a live one-hour talk show providing in-depth analysis and commentary on the issues of the day from politics, economics to the various cultural hot buttons. The program will originate from Washington, D.C.
Keyes received his Ph.D in Government Affairs in 1979 from Harvard University. He served during the Reagan Administration in the U.S. Foreign Service and on the staff of the National Security Council before being appointed Ambassador to the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 1983. He was the Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs from 1985-87.
Alan Keyes is also a two-time Republican presidential candidate and two-time Republican Senate nominee from the state of Maryland. His greatest public exposure came most recently through his dynamic and much extolled performances in the 2000 Republican Presidential Debates.
For the past 10 years, Keyes has reached a nationwide audience each day through his nationally syndicated radio program, “The Alan Keyes Show: America’s Wake-Up Call.” He is the author of two critically acclaimed books, Masters of the Dream: The Strength and Betrayal of Black America and Our Character, Our Future: Reclaiming America’s Moral Destiny, with a third to be released soon. Keyes and his wife of 19 years, Jocelyn, reside in Maryland with their three children: Francis, Maya and Andrew.
Keyes joins MSNBC’s weeknight line-up, which also includes:
 “The Abrams Report” at 6PM, ET: The latest headlines and investigation on the American strike against terrorism.

“America at War with Lester Holt” at 11PM, ET: The only live news-hour which recaps the days headlines and the most recent developments in the war on terrorism.
Up until now, I wouldn't class you with the organized and persistent disruptors of Keyes threads. I was referring to the other two he called in to fight his battles for him.
As to my conversation with Dan? He made his broadbrush condemnation of Keyesters publicly, and he should apologize publicly.
Instead, he used you as cover to brush it all off as insignificant. But it's not.
I also did not see anything that Dan needed to apologize for. Once again.......seen and interpreted differently by different eyes.
Making mountains out of mole hills accomplishes nothing but to make more mountains.
I reposted your whole post, not because I agree with it, obviously, and also not to tear it apart...
I reposted it because I wanted to thank you for the civil tone demonstrated by it. I'm impressed.
Thank you.
Count me as one of many, friend.
You, dear, dear Ian, are as believable as Bill Clinton! "Shocking sneak post and run'? Hello, dear dear Ian....I've been around here all the time......go back to DU and leave this forum and this thread alone!
IF DH was one of the engineers of the compassionate conservative bullshit, he needs his arse kicked a little higher!!! Charity forced at the point of a gun is NOT CHARITY but the redistribution of wealth, the Robin Hood syndrome! You try to present yourself as a Christian--if you are, surely you know that!
Believe me, DH could care less about a 'Christian' conservative society! He detests the idea of religion (other than that one the God $$$$$$) being involved with politics!
If you worry about degeneration and cultural drift....why are you looking to a lefty to give you the answers? While you're right that politicians have sold us false promises and a lot more, lefties ain't gonna help--they want more of the same old, same old. Besides Horowitz wouldn't know jack squat....you want to read or learn some of the sources of the problems, try reading Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley.
I suggest you direct your prayers for the leaders we have and for Horowitz....and certainly for our Nation.
EV: for your info, I received a freep mail from the person I suggested might be interested in reading this thread...she was thrilled as she said she is already a big fan of his. I cautioned her there might be a few unpleasantries (she doesn't like food fights, as she calls it) but the article was at the top and that #102 had the details re format...and that she could let her friends know, too. So, I've got my fingers crossed, they'll all check it out and mark the opening date down.
I don't want to get personal, EV, but up until now I wouldn't have classified you as paranoid. I'm not part of any organized group of people. I'm just expressing my opinion, as you are. And Dan didn't use me for anything. I've had no contact with Dan that you have not seen. You made public statements, and just like my public statements, they're up for public consumption and commentary. So I commented. I think you're a strong and smart enough person to handle it - I'm not wrong, am I?
For the record: I don't see a thread on Alan Keyes, twist my fake mustache and think, "Now's my chance to disrupt those Keyesters!" I just find it an interesting topic, so here I am.
I can't wait to see how he smiles, how he winks, (or is that blinks?), how he nods his head, how he shuffles papers, how he moves his feet, and all those other little subtle things people insist he uses to show what he's really saying.....I'm just dying to know what he really thinks about Bush! As soon as the shows start, and this is if I can get the programming, I'm going to tape it so I can compare to all the bitching and carrying on that will surely be recorded on the forum here, so that I can quickly catch on and be able to 'just know it' as soon as he smiles, winks, blinks, nods, shuffles, moves, etc. I want to be able to tell others what he really meant, if you know what I mean.
And it sure sounds like everything with the program is geared directly to bashing and trashing Bush. Can you even begin to envision them playing a tape from something that happened in Bush's life 20 or 10 years ago or even maybe more recent....and then having ordinary people, or even our 'betters' either in person or by fax, phone, or e-mail put their 10 cents into a discussion about everything Bush does, and then spend the last bit of time stressing and reiterating all the bad stuff about Bush.
I'm telling ya, I just can't wait to see this....granted I don't and never have watched a lot of TV, but I think this will be a first in this format sort of thing.
Don't they generally run new programs for only 13 or 26 weeks as the initial production...and then go to reruns? Won't that really be an even more exciting time--watching the reruns of the 4 night a week, hour long, bashing and trashing of Bush? It will be so current and timely
Bet they'll draw people in by the gazillions with that format and that routine...I'd bet you $5 that it'll be a real hit! Probably after the first season, they'll want to go to 7 days a week....and probably at least 2 or 3 hours a day, doncha think?
Just think....when this 24/7 indoctrination occurs, you and I and a few other devotees can say we were there at the beginning. OTOH, there'll be all these CLOSET KEYESTERS wanting to claim the same thing.....but we'll have these old archived threads that will prove it just wasn't so.
Smile, my friend....things are gonna get better..... :)
I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about, and I'm not remotely interested. Really.
Yes. That's what I'm saying. George W. Bush drank in college, and he was in Skull and Bones. He wasn't a saint when he was a kid, not that it matters. The truth is the truth.
See how easy that is? Right out there, and it didn't even hurt.
You may as well have used his name, since even my dog knew who you were talking about. This game of semantics you're playing is getting very, very old.
High five, Daughter. I did some pretty unbecoming things in my teens and I have always found it is best to talk openly about it. The past is the past and I am who I am today. All my experiences shaped the way I deal with life as an adult. Even bad ones can be beneficial if we learn from it.
I appreciate that George Bush never pretends to be holier-than-thou or tries to run away from the things for which he may not be so proud. That's a real man if you ask me.
You are like someone who witnesses a homeowner going after the person who just ransacked their house...all you can see is that mean guy beating up on that poor teenager...when in fact, the kid has done this to their house 25 times.
Your perspective on this is too limited. Doesn't make you a bad person...but you just don't know the whole story.
Amen, Southflank. I like that, too.
Pardon me. I interpreted, "Up until now, I wouldn't class you with..." to mean that you had finally drawn that conclusion. That's usually what it means, right?
Your perspective on this is too limited. Doesn't make you a bad person...but you just don't know the whole story.
OK. What's the whole story, EV? What I see is people expressing their opinions, good and bad, about Alan Keyes. You seem to be suggesting that something far more serious and/or sinister is going on here. So what is the crime that is being perpetrated against you?
