TONIGHT ON "ALAN KEYES IS MAKING SENSE" -- Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Natan Sharansky

MSNBC ^ | 6/19/02 | MSNBC

[Nan48]

"Up front tonight, our special guest Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Natan Sharansky joins us to give us Israel's reaction to today's suicide bombing in Jerusalem. The latest count indicates seven dead and many wounded. Today's deadly blast comes one day after 19 people were killed in the worst suicide bombing in Jerusalem in six years. We'll also take a look at the much-anticipated Mideast peace roadmap expected from the White House, which was scheduled to be announced this week, but now will probably be announced next week. Reportedly, this new proposal from the Bush administration will include a plan for an "interim" Palestinian state in the near future as well as calling for an international peace summit by the end of the summer. Joining us on our panel for debate, Rep. Eliot Engel, D-NY and Charles Kupchan of the Council on Foreign Relations.

We'll also take a look at the much-anticipated Mideast peace roadmap expected from the White House as early as this week.

Joining us on our panel for debate, Rep. Eliot Engel, D-NY and Charles Kupchan of the Council on Foreign Relations.

"Up next, conservative lawmakers today have called for President Bush to deploy thousands of troops along U.S. borders, saying the homeland security plan that the White House delivered yesterday to Congress would take years to crack down on illegal immigration. Is it necessary to put our US troops on the border? Do we need a military branch that would be recruited and trained specifically to guard the US border as opposed to the law enforcement doctrine of the US Border Patrol? We'll debate that issue in the second half hour."

Don't miss tonight's show at 10 pm ET on MSNBC. If you missed last night's show, you missed the fireworks!

[Nan48]

Oops. Didn't mean to post that first paragraph twice.

[Callahan]

I'll miss Alan's show. He really laid into some Palestinian apologist last night. The guy ended up walking off the set. Also noticed that Hannity was very confrontational to the PA spokesman on FOX. I'm fed up with the whole "Israelis are terrorists too" claptrap the Arabs trot out everytime one of their "martyrs" blows up a bus.

This thread lets you know what you can do to help. RenewAmerica.tv Viewer Alert -- What you can do to support "Alan Keyes is Making Sense"

[Catspaw]

One thing that hasn't been mentioned that came up on Alan's show yesterday (and I do believe it was on Keyes) was Steve Emerson talking about FBI Director Mueller having a meeting (it was a lunch or dinner) with leaders of the American Muslim Council, a group that is tied to Hamas, and a group which is or may well be investigated by the FBI, as Emerson pointed out. I damn near fell out of my seat, but no one has seemed to have picked up on it.

BUMP!

"If you missed last night's show, you missed the fireworks!"

IMHO, "fireworks" doesn't begin to describe what happened last night...Keyes was outstanding!

I wanted so badly to get online and talk about Keyes' show...but, I was stopped by severe thunderstorms that stalled over the DC/VA area for hours.

I will watch Keyes' show tonight...and weather permitting...be online.

Thanks for the "heads-up".

[Keyes For President]

btt

I watched Making Sense last night and the show lived up to its billing. I am SO sick and tired of every Islamist spokesperson on the talking head shows that makes the same, tired case that "the occupation" is responsible for the homicide bombings in Israel. No matter what the question, the Islamist claims "occupation". Mr. Keyes is clearly as PO'ed as me about these terrorist enablers.

I heard a very interesting explanation on Dennis Prager - arabs hatred of Jews is a cosmic one - meaning they do not hate them for what they did or did not do - they hate them because they exist.

[Nan48]

Time for a self-bump. *ouch*

[oline]

Maybe no one wants to go into details -- but tell me what happened!

I saw him introduce the two guests and I thought Uh-oh this is Keyes is going to lay into him...which I happen to love to watch...but I had to leave the room....ugh!

I just love watching Keyes - he is so outstanding...too bad his ratings are so low.

[Gelato]

Keyes is on right now!

[Nan48]

Thanks, Gelato.

[Gelato]

I guess you saw the build-up at the beginning of Keyes' show last night about the horrible attack in Israel. After that, Keyes asked the Arab guest a very well-put question denouncing Palestinian terrorism. The guest made the typical excuse ("The Israelis do it, too," etc, etc.), and Keyes let him speak for a long time.

When he got the chance to respond, Keyes showed his outrage that the Arab gentleman had no remorse for the terrorism, that he blamed the Israelis for everything, and that he acted as though the Palestinians were not responsible for their actions. Keyes complained that he was tired of guests coming on his show, as they did with the false "Jenin massacre," to make dishonest assertions.

The Arab man pulled his earpiece out, and left.

[Gelato]

Great topic tonight.

Powell sure was a mistake. Good thing we have Cheney in there to counteract Powell's faulty mid-east position.

[Symix]

It would be even better to have Keyes instead of Powell - do I understand all Clinton's appointees are still running State Department???

[Nan48]

Right now, I would feel a lot safer having Keyes rather than Powell make the decisions.

[Right_in_Virginia]

"Maybe no one wants to go into details -- but tell me what happened!"

Alan asked a Palestinian representative (don't remember his name) what he thought of the bus bombing that killed 19...targeting children with bombs laced with nails and rat poision.

The Palestinian representative gave Alan the standard reply that these attacks were necessary because it's the only weapon the poor Pales have....and tried to make a case for moral equivalency.

Keyes went "nuts"...telling this guy (and I paraphrase) that targeting children in this way isn't an act of war, it's an act that says you have no respect for the humanity of your enemy and proves the Palis don't want to "win", but want to bring about the extinction of Isreal.

The Palestinian representative walked off. Keyes didn't even blink.

Talk about "reality TV".
