...and what do I find?---some of the usual suspects...talking to one another, as they do, about how they can't stand Alan Keyes' personality. Of course, as usual, no substance...just rabid personality-based attacks, with no discussion of the critical issues of our day....anyways...I expect that...that's their thing, and they do it well...
But your post is extremely disappointing, BibChr...rescurrecting the old 'Keyes cult' slander. Maybe you ought to pick up your Bible, brother, and reread the part about 'not bearing false witness against your neighbor'.
I know literally thousands of people who supported Keyes in 2000. Of course he had his syncophants (just as Bush has more than his share of syncophants himself).
But for you to broadbrush Alan's friends and supporters as cultists is just plain wrong, my friend and my brother.
Again, I know these folks...as a group, they are among the most independent and principled I have ever met...most are committed Christians...committed to Christ and His Word, not to some 'Keyes cult'.
What makes you think you have the right to stand in judgement of them?
By the way, a large number of the people I respect most on Free Republic are past Keyes supporters as well...are they all cultists, too?
Otherwise, I stand by every syllable. And I must say, your missing of what is a very plain, plainly-stated, and plainly accurate observation — not about whether or not I like Keyes, but about his repeated, obvious, and public behavior, which the subset I mention refuses to acknowledge and criticize — neither strengthens your case nor weakens mine.
