I was talking about PERSONAL ATTACKS on fellow FREEPERS ! Though, in all honesty, yes, there have been ( MANY ) Bush bashing / trashing threads, wherein Keysters have NOT taken the " high road ". and done much of the slash and burn posts.
Are you asking me to PROVE that Keysters have NOT done either / both of these things ? ARE YOU ? If so, then I question your query. WHY DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT HAS OR HAS NOT BEEN DONE ?
My point is that once you have a thread like this one, which was simply reporting a rumor about a possible Keyes TV show, you often get a fair group of folks, usually led by Howlin, who come in and start trashing the Ambassador, and anyone who backs him. Once that happens, the gauntlet is on the ground, and you can expect a vigorous response.
To recap this thread, early on there was a post from a fellow under the impression that Keyes had been the Libertarian Party Presidential candidate. I corrected him sharply, pointing out that Keyes had been the Republican nominee in various elections. At that point Howlin put on his Jack Boots as follows:
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
, and that Alan Keyes has been nominated so frequently as the GOP candidate in various elections that that is one of the criticisms against him.
How about listing all the ones he was NOMINATED for; not the ones he RAN for; list ALL the ones you say that he has been NOMINATED for so frequently.

I wonder how the Keyesters will explain it when Keyes gets horrible ratings because nobody wants to listen to his bombastic verbose talk about himself.
Oh, what am I saying? They'll say two things:
1) Keyes is much too smart for the "rest of us" to understand.
Or they'll say
2) It's because he's black.

You will note that YOU were among the little group of Storm Troopers whom he summoned to this particular Krystalnacht. Well my friend, I am afraid that we will not cower in our rooms for you to haul to your 'camps'. If you want to fight, and seeing your arrival to the summons, you obviously did, expect no quarter on my part.
