Alan must have hit the right Keyes with this one, drawing the wrath of far left Media Mutters. These are just a couple of snippets. Read the whole thing.

Summary: Appearing as a guest on KNUS' Backbone Radio to discuss embryonic stem cell research with conservative John Andrews, former Republican presidential candidate Alan Keyes issued several false and misleading statements, such as "there are no ... benefits" from the research. Keyes also smeared Michael Schiavo for "doing his wife [Terri] to death through the courts so he could be free of the burden of her life."
On the April 22 broadcast of KNUS 710 AM's Backbone Radio, former Republican presidential and U.S. Senate candidate Alan Keyes made several false assertions regarding embryonic stem cell research. Further, he smeared Michael Schiavo, husband of the late Terri Schiavo, as "a self-serving, self-interested husband" who purportedly "[did] his wife to death through the courts so that he could be free of the burden of her life once he had run through the money that he could derive from her condition." Keyes falsely asserted that "there are no ... benefits" from research on embryonic stem cells, and claimed that "anyone who has actually listened to the debate and cares about the facts would know that." Finally, Keyes misleadingly asserted, "There have been over 70 breakthroughs using adult stem cells."

KEYES: Well, I think that we saw this especially a couple years ago -- we just passed the anniversary of, of -- of her death -- with Terri Schiavo. Where you had some of the organizations like National Organization of Women -- who always claim that they're against spousal abuse and want to protect the interests of women -- forgot all about that. As we watched a spectacle of a self-serving, self-interested husband doing his wife to death through the courts so that he could be free of the burden of her life once he had run through the money that he could derive from her condition. It was really quite sick and disgusting.
Keyes' attack on Michael Schiavo was similar to one that Rocky Mountain News media critic and Independence Institute research director Dave Kopel made in July 2006 when he called him a "scumbag."

KNUS is “sunk” spelled backwards.
Giganti said he attended the Conservative Political Action Conference in the nation's capital in early March and was disturbed at activists who were backing certain candidates out of a belief they could win, even if their stands weren't so desirable. "Fear is not the reason to support these [candidates]," Giganti said, likening some activists' choices to a conservative supporting the 1960s New York liberal Republican Nelson Rockefeller as an alternative to Ronald Reagan.
Giganti said that when Romney was asked about the case of Florida euthanasia victim Terri Schindler-Schiavo, Romney gave a "dismissive" reply and said the U.S. Congress shouldn't have intervened to try to save her. Bobby Schindler, brother of the disabled woman who was dehydrated to death in 2005, is backing Brownback for president, Giganti said.
