Perhaps your ability to discern is lacking or you like to pretend. Either way, it isn't flattering.
I love the whine about the ad hominem crap. Don't you get it? Keyes does and has turned people off enough to make most of what he says lost on his pompous, know-it-all manner.
If that is what one leads with, the "attitude" tends to take center stage. Thus, criticism of him is justifiably focused on the very thing that he pushes most; that no-one-knows-better-than-I routine. He's too puffed up and for many observers, it's distracting enough to drown out his words.
I realize that you Keyes worshipers cannot understand this because you have this idol fixation. Funny.....he depends on suckers like you to make a living for himself.
Which he has never said, claimed, or implied, as you know VERY WELL. But go on saying ti anyway. If you repeat something enough, it will become true, right?
Alan Keyes had not appeared on television for more than a year (before last week's appearances) because he was still under contract to MSNBC. I'm sure that the many Keyes fans were thrilled to see him back in the public arena speaking out so eloquently on this issue.
You'll notice, South... that I respectfully refer to those who like Keyes and his learned opinion - as Keyes fans; not as you disdainfully referred to them as "worshippers." Speaking only for myself here... I am a fan of Alan Keyes. I worship God.
Message to Dr. Keyes:
Welcome back! We've missed you!
