I cannot stand Alan Keyes. Shinning and grinning...shucking and jiving.
Hey Al, what happened to your show on Fox News called "Alan Keyes is Making Sense"?? I guess you weren't making too much sense, your show didn't even last a month, did it?
He and Jesse Lee Peterson (another ignoramus) need to get lost.

Don't forget Larry Elder! Ugh!

Alan Keyes is a sociopath and has always been nothing but an opportunist and flunky embarrassment to the White conservative movement.He also will claim discrimination and racism when it suits his needs.Alan Keyes is a two bit con man pimping conservatism.Read this very good post on him. http://coonwatchcentral.blogspot.com/2009/02/co...

Alan Keyes & his wife kicked his daughter out of the family home and refused to pay her college tuition after she went public as a lesbian. Nice people.
I'm not entirely convinced that the wife isn't being emotionally/mentally abused herself. I just think Alan Keyes has all the traits of a sociopath and perhaps she is terrified of him.
Justice58
You may be on to something. His hateful jealousy is telling in that video!
Angelar
You may be right about the wife. I just cannot comprehend someone treating their child the way Keyes did. It is sick.

I see Alan Keyes received his Ph.D. in House Negro Studies from Coon University.
mypov123
LOL Not surprising, he graduated magna cum laude from Coon University.
hopee
I hate to correct you but he graduated summa cum laude. His major was shucking and jiving and his minor was buffoonery.
Because his commentary is so colored by his views that it becomes just ranting.
Same problem I have with Beck. Though at least Beck laughs off his snark.

Every once in a while, I find some of Olbermann's mannerisms a little annoying, but that's alright. The main difference between him and Beck is that Olbermann doesn't tell factual, demonstrable lies. And he doesn't cry on camera.
You know, though, I really can't fault Olbermann too much on this one.
Keyes is just the type of fool that plays into him by going way the hell out in right field.
Here's what I want to know: why is it everytime the media wants to talk to a black conservative/Republican, Keyes is dragged out of retirement? He doesn't represent any black Republican I know; hell, he represents very few Republicans I know, period.
No, not a slip. I meant it as said. Us being on the right and all.
Plantsmantx
I don't think that's the case. Not at all. I see other black conservatives (Tara Wall, Michelle Bernard, that cross-eyed guy, whatever his name is, Jesse Lee Peterson, Amy Holmes, Larry Elder, Carol Swain, etc.) on TV a lot more often than I see Keyes.
Keyes fits the conservative stereotype...that's the problem.
hopee
They all fit the stereotype (except for Bernard, occasionally). They all come out of the woodwork to deny the existence of racism, to chastise black people for not buying into the myth of black conservatism, and of course to criticize Obama. I wish someone would tell them that if you find yourself defending the indefensible then you lose any and all credibility (as witnessed by Holmes and Christie on CNN last week.) You know that you're out of touch when an older white guy from the South, David Gergen, is more attuned to what constitutes racist imagery than Ron Christie. I'm telling you with all seriousness that a klansman could call them the "N" word to their faces while burning a cross on their lawns and they would still find a reason not to label the person racist. They are in a word, delusional.
djchefron
He represents the Palin/Rapture ready/Homophope/Ignorant wing of the party.You know the base.
The stated white house reason for this bit of politics is the low unemployment numbers (about 5%) in that district 2ndary to the massive amounts of federal dollars pumped into N.O.L.A. by the Bush administration for rebuilding efforts. Some other states have unemployment at about 10%.
Ah, Keith Olbermann. Smart. Funny. Sexy. My favorite quotes from the clip:
0: 39 The part where he quotes Keyes then pauses to remind you: "No, I'm not kidding."
1:01 "The Post: Heavy on the Mea, Light on the Culpa ..."
1:30 KO slyly reminds you about the Illinois Senate run when Obama beat Keyes, then he calls Keyes a "three-time presidential candidate who basically has yet to win anything he's run for."
3:15 "Mr Keyes, it should be noted, is also not sure of the relative whereabouts of his ass and his elbow."
Ah, love.
Justice58
"Mr Keyes, it should be noted, is also not sure of the relative whereabouts of his ass and his elbow."
with the country in the shape that it is in and will be 4 years from now I cannot imagine that he is of the impression that he will get all of the votes mcsame got and take at least half from Obama to win in 2012. its pure insanity there are more people that vote democratic than republican didnt he pay attention to the past election and the numbers that came from it? someone needs to remind him that POTUS won PA after all the talk of Clinton and Mcsame
And brother Keyes, I hope the SS (Secret Service) is on him, because that shit he was spawing is equivalent to HATE SPEECH. For real.
Justice58
Secret Service should be on Alan Keyes ass. He publicly stated Obama need to be stopped. Stopped How? Obama is already president. So stopped how? WTF is in his d#mn mind? The hateful mofo.
Bobby Jindal......
All I could do was..."Gasp"! He really did it. Jesus Christ son of God..... what about his constituents? He is only looking out for his f-ing self. Please kick him to the curb....to the curb!
No extra funds for New Orleans to rebuild in the stimulus, either.
During the New Deal, nobody turned down anything from Roosevelt...they will turn Jindal out before he even thinks about running for president.
spirit_55z
iceberg, does Jindal honestly think he can pull this shit ,make run in 2012 and win?
Keyes needs to come before the drop sqaud.
GreenLadyHere
icebergslim: @ Gov. Jindal: "WHYCOME" he thinks that he can PREDICT the POLITICAL TIDE in 2012??
This "WORLD" is VACILLATING in so much TURMOIL that it is VERY UN-PREDICTABLE from DAY - TO - DAY, much less in 4 years!!
Annnnnd, IMHO, Jindal ain't got that much JUICE!!
Annnnnnd, the REpugs, especially in light of the ANTICS of "FRICK & FRACK" [and "The Gov."], R in MORE THAN TURMOIL!!!
What R the GOPs PRODUCING!!???
Hmmmm. Guess they've been HIDIN' their STUFF ALL THIS TIME!!!
THIS just di' in't grow up OVER NIGHT!! Betcha!! :>) :>)
Justice58
He's a fool. Playing politics with people's lives! The poor people of Louisiana has suffered enough. Just SMDH!
GreenLadyHere
Justice58: GOT DAT RIGHT!! NO SHAME!!
ChrisChambers
He's banking on these redneck's cutting off their noses to spite their faces. Notice only in these primitive red states does this shit occur. A lot also has to do with the caliber of black politicians on the other side. With clowns like Jefferson there, or Ray Nagin, is it any wonder?
Look they'd rather devote state funds to using the old Testament as a science textbook (on a 3rd grade level, of course).
ChrisChambers: Since I don't know those politicians, I appreciate this information.
Miranda
Does his wife have friends? I'm convinced this man has all the traits of a sociopath and I wonder about her safety. He probably has her on a schedule and she has daily weigh-ins or some crap like that.
