I condemn the remarks Keyes made on that occasion. To have allowed himself to be interviewed by that radio station was sheer and utter stupidity and a complete lack of wisdom. Furthermore, I abhor the extreme rhetoric and self-righteous tone Keyes sometimes uses when he publicly discusses these topics.
However, the remarks to which you refer, were more the result of neglecting to think before he spoke. I would not characterize that momentary lack of judgment, as harshly as yourself. When so doing, you sound as bitterly judgmental and self-righteous as Keyes sometimes does.
I don't like hyprocrites, theirs or the ones who assume to be "ours."
It's dishonest.
And I guess I do sound harsh because I am, frankly, quite tired of being told repeatedly that we just aren't smart enough to understand what the great Alan Keyes really said.
It's as plain as day.
