Alan Keyes is not your average man. For one thing, he is probably clinically insane. For another, we will never, ever forget -- we will be 108 years old, on our deathbed, laughing and cackling -- the South Carolina GOP primary debate when Alan Keyes shouted and yelled that the question "what is your biggest regret" (WHICH WAS ASKED OF EVERY CANDIDATE) was "racist." Why would anyone assume he had ever done anything wrong? IS IT BECAUSE HE IS BLACK?
I presented a seminar on this very topic back in university. Actually, it is quite compelling, if you go back to its probable introduction to English royal line with the Henry V's marriage to Catherine of Valois, daughter of insane king Charles VI of France. Their descendant Mary Queen of Scots exhibited some of the symptoms of porphyria (red urine, for instance, according to her son). This would also explain the insanity of Catherine's son Henry VI. Fun fact: if Richard III hadn't been defeated and replaced by the Tudors, the porhyria wouldn't have been carried on. It re-entered the royal gene pool with Henry VII, who was descended from Catherine's liason with her master of the wardrobe.
I wouldn't call Keyes "prominent", except in his own weird little mind, -- and here, where we like to make fun of wingtards.
There is something ugly about Alan Keyes; something that repeatedly makes his articulate threats impotent.
His singular power is to inspire guilt in the vulnerable and disgust in anyone with the least sense of enlightenment. Keyes, a serial political sacrificial lamb, served as a placeholder in lost races, until the GOP realized that he left such a bad taste with people that he turned off future Republican voters.
Keyes' light-weight rerun Jeremiah act — moralizing mumbo-jumbo with no vision — makes him a pathetic figure at the fringe of reactionary politics, with the power to be unpleasant. Alan Keyes is not a force in American politics but he remains a stench.
After listening to his addlepated shriek, I give up...There is no better way to describe Alan Keyes than you did:He is "probably clinically insane."
I'm still stuck on our Editrix making it to 108 ...
&quot;Thanks to modern medical advances such as antibiotics, nasal spray, and Diet Coke, it has become routine for people in the civilized world to pass the age of 40 ... sometimes <i>more</i> than once.&quot;
<i>Also, we would be governed by a clinically insane person, so that might have had its downsides.</i>
The lesson wingnuttia has obviously not learned yet is that there is always some consequence for actions in politics. It may not be readily apparent immediately, but there was always going to be a price to be paid for indulging and encouraging the most outrageous and irresponsible voices on the right. It wasn&#039;t until last Election Day that it was clear how dear a price that was going to be.
Targeted assassinations of Americans, whether by remotely-piloted vehicle* or exploding cigar, are repugnant to people of good will.

I don&#039;t see why. We had that in 1969-73 and it didn&#039;t cause any problems that I can recall.
Beautiful place...lots of old stone stables dating back to the cavalry days.

Red Urine- hilariously funny comedian from the golden age of television
Judging by their anti-gay legislation, I&#039;d say the tradition continues.

so you were actually confronted with the hitler murder paradox.
damn.
