Alan Keyes Deserves Better

For those who, out of some mis-directed rage against authentic conservative philosophy, classified Alan as having turned leftward, I think you should be watching tonight.

If the MSNBC network execs are too intimidated by Arab boycott-mongers to keep him on their team, President Bush should consider eliminating the weak links in his own current diplomatic line-up and invite Alan Keyes to restore the integrity and credibility of America's war against Islamic terrorism. Even if MSNBC does not appreciate him, the American people deserve him at State.

Just what Bush needs, an idiot like Keyes with a big mouth pontificating to one and all how they should live.

For the last time I will tell you, Keyes show is being cancelled because its boring and Keyes is preachy. He never built an audience. No audience, no ad revenue. Thats the story. There is no arab boycott that did Keyes in. He did it himself. Maybe some of you Keyes supporters cant see it but I hope Keyes isnt so delusional that he knows why his show was cancelled.

[Dave S]

Good luck. Similar posts about this arab boycott have posted during the past week or so.

Keyes' ratings have been about average compared to MSNBC's average ratings. MSNBC averages about 230,000 households per day which is about what "Alan Keyes Is Making Sense" has been averaging.

MSNBC isn't canceling it's liberal shows that are doing poorly, but they are canceling their only conservative show, which also happens to be very supportive of Israel in their war on terror.

BUMP!

Anyone find proof that is why the show is leaving?

Amazing how politics change. I remember not too long ago when Jewish groups put Alan Keyes perhaps one circle below Pat Buchanan in the hierarchy of pure evil.

Care to back that up with any facts, sir?

Alan Keyes has been known to be a friend of Israel for many many years...throughout his days in the State Department until the present...in fact, he is a friend of Bibi Netanyahu of long standing.

You're making stuff up.

WHATEVER Dr Keyes may be, he is NOT an "IDIOT!!;" ANYONE who SO UNDERESTIMATES Dr Keyes is, unfortunately, "Highly Delusional!!"

IMHO, Dr Keyes is one of our BEST Constitutional Scholars!!

His Opinions re; Israel, are Worthy of SERIOUS State Dep't consideration!!

There are Literally Hundreds of Thousands of us--who have studied & formed "well-thought-out Opinions" about America & Israel--who regard Dr Keyes Opinions as a "VALID REFLECTION" of our OWN!"

Dr Keyes represents a LARGE percentage of the "Thinking & Engaged" Population of America!

MSNBC is apparently "angling For" the "Lowest Common Denominator....."

Dr Keyes speaks to the "Best & the Brightest!!"

So Be It!!!

That is certainly how I recall things, EV....all the stuff I've read from Keyes and talks/speeches, he has been consistent in his approach to Israel.

I can remember back in campaign days the great speech the Jewish crowd was given by Keyes--as I recall they were very polite in their applause, as someone noticed they didn't want to hear something or other that he had said.

[Rowdee]

Amazing isn't it....how any explanation of history or diplomatic activities is 'boring'...unless of course, it is followed by giving away the store! LOL....

Anyone find proof that backs your statement up?

[LarryLied]

Ok. I was wrong. Gore didn't get 80% of the Jewish vote in 2000. Alan Keyes did. Newt or Jerry Falwell would have split that vote with Alan but they were not running. Alan got 91% of the black vote too and the media mislead us there also.

cheezzzzz....

William Carto?

[Dave S]

Keyes' ratings have been about average compared to MSNBC's average ratings.

But Keyes ratings were one forth of what Greta had in her show on Fox at the same time period. Ratings a lot lower than CNN as well.

[SJackson]

Needless to say, William=Willis

What % of the Jewish vote did Bush get versus Gore and would that indicate that some Jewish groups put W. perhaps one circle below Pat Buchanan in the hierarchy of pure evil?

cheezzzzz....

[LarryLied]

Bush came close to being in the most damned circle when he made that comment about believing in Christ. Alan is in the running for worst because of his stance on abortion alone. There might be one but I cannot think of an issue aside from Israel on which Alan would get majority Jewish support.

[Torie]

Keyes' show tonight was excellent. But the suggestion that is Keyes' views on the mideast that caused his show to be sent into the showers is totally unsupported by any evidence. There are certainly other possible reasons, including such matters perhaps as low ratings, that might be remotely relevant. Thus this piece is one with an agenda using Keyes as a vehicle.

Perhaps but he's a lousy political candidate and poor TV host.
