SECAUCUS, NJ- January 7, 2002- Former Presidential Candidate and Reagan-era U.S. Ambassador at the United Nations, Alan Keyes has joined MSNBC as host of a new one-hour commentary show, “Alan Keyes Is Making Sense,” weeknights at 10PM, ET. Erik Sorenson, president and general manager, MSNBC, made the announcement today.
“We're excited that Alan is bringing his highly-regarded grasp of global issues and his larger-than-life personality to MSNBC," said Sorenson. "This network has distinguished itself as the cable news channel for smart young viewers interested in knowing about their world. Alan's deep knowledge, incredible capacity to frame debate, and provocative views will be a great addition to an already-terrific primetime lineup.”
“Alan Keyes Is Making Sense” is a live one-hour talk show providing in-depth analysis and commentary on the issues of the day from politics, economics to the various cultural hot buttons. The program will originate from Washington, D.C.
Keyes received his Ph.D in Government Affairs in 1979 from Harvard University. He served during the Reagan Administration in the U.S. Foreign Service and on the staff of the National Security Council before being appointed Ambassador to the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 1983. He was the Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs from 1985-87.
Alan Keyes is also a two-time Republican presidential candidate and two-time Republican Senate nominee from the state of Maryland. His greatest public exposure came most recently through his dynamic and much extolled performances in the 2000 Republican Presidential Debates.
For the past 10 years, Keyes has reached a nationwide audience each day through his nationally syndicated radio program, “The Alan Keyes Show: America’s Wake-Up Call.” He is the author of two critically acclaimed books, Masters of the Dream: The Strength and Betrayal of Black America and Our Character, Our Future: Reclaiming America’s Moral Destiny, with a third to be released soon. Keyes and his wife of 19 years, Jocelyn, reside in Maryland with their three children: Francis, Maya and Andrew.

I realize you meant to say "disagrees with Bush" but anyway............ The personal attacks are very, very equal and any fair person on either side must admit that.
I don't need to look far at all to cite numerous examples. The underlying cause is obviously the frustration of seeing a given situation very differently. Keyes seems to be a love-him-or-hate-him kind of guy. Naturally people get hot whenever he is discussed.
I am partial toward the anti-Keyesters and make this statement with that in mind. Keyes and the majority of his fans add a layer of superiority to their remarks and it incites people that don't agree. It is one thing to battle it out but quite another to be labeled immoral, ignorant, or a Constitution-hater because one doesn't buy the Keyes agenda or manner in which it is presented. That is the highest level of baiting and goes beyond simply arguing one's personal take.
Once again this very conversation illustrates seeing this disagreement with very different eyes.
However, I am a bit troubled by the bizarre reaction of the Bush-firsters. We need more faces in more venues preaching conservative values, not less.
If he can advance the cause of conservatism, let's cheer him on.
Well said, well said indeed!
My best to you.
Reminds me of the days when you and I discussed my Ward Connerly interview.
Let's hope this works just the way you say, to advance conservativism.
Again, my best to you,
Richard F.
You flatter me!
Seriously, I think Alan will do fine on this score. He really has more range than the shouting shows let him display.
Let's watch, and chat later.
Warmest regards,
Richard F.
That statement qualifies as the understatement of the year-to-date!
Glad to hear that he got a steady paycheck....;-)
Weyrich's station had some good people....Dan Mitchell and his wife (Mitchells in the Morning) to name but one....
Great news for conservatives, right?
Richard F.
