Off the subject, but here's something I found ironic and amusing, from the Wikipedia entry on Alan Keyes:

After political cartoonist Ted Rall published his "Terror Widows" cartoon (link) suggesting the widows of men killed in the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks were motivated by greed, Keyes responded with an essay titled "Shunning the intolerable." Keyes compared Rall to a pornographer and suggested he be fired and "shunned by all." Keyes wrote, "Should such a cartoonist be punished, arrested? Shot at dawn?" He wrote, "it is worth remembering that when serious and sustained attempts to undermine public opinion on a matter genuinely essential to national life cannot be resisted by other means, governmental action may be necessary" and "we should not tolerate those who seek to debase our judgment and destroy our unity and resolve."

Wasn't there just a huge controversy because Ann Coulter said the same thing Ted Rall had said earlier?

So true. Perhaps Mr Keyes can answer that. Oh no scratch that. That would just divert him from answering the scam questions lol
