Call It A Comeback
Never get in the way of an opponent’s self-immolation. When they start to really get cooking, don’t throw any water on it. The ability to stay out of the way of Jack! was quite impressive. Just keep that up, and you’ll be just fine.
Maybe I should start a set of campaign rules…
1) Campaign workers never make news because when they do, it’s almost always bad
2) Never get in the way of a good self-immolation by your opponent.
Any more?
Berkowitz is upset that I made fun of Keyes attempt to crash a debate.
Archpundit thinks civil disobedience is conduct unbecoming a U. S. Senate Candidate?
A quick retraction is in order.
Oh, this is rich. My good blogging friend and gung-ho, unabashedly Democratic Blogger Larry Handlin [www.archpundit.com] is now questioning Ambassador Keyes? dignity because Keyes engaged in civil disobedience [protesting the exclusionary policies with respect to Presidential Candidates who were not front-runners for a presidential candidate debate sponsored by an ABC affiliate ].
Larry is, of course, demonstrating once again that political partisans [both Ds and Rs] have no shame when it comes to making baseless partisan arguments against their opponents. But, Larry, would you really want to call one-half of your readers and about one-third of the Democratic Party, not to mention your Party?s fearless leader, undignified? I didn?t think so. So, we can expect a quick retraction?
As Thoreau said[I think]– when the laws are unjust, the place for the just is in jail. Imagine me- having to remind Archpundit Handlin of that. Who would have thunk it?
This all assumes that Keyes had a beef–but the fact is Keyes is a first class loon. That is why he was excluded and the attempt to crash it is another symptom of being a loon. The Hunger Strike was really impressive but really was a definitive moment in answering the question of whether when a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?
I’m sorry the Republican Central Committee is suffering from mass hysteria, but it’s not my fault.
Consider following this link:
I used to use Amazon to link to good books, but it was taking too much bandwidth. But I’m not quite at the level to be paid out.
It all fell off the tree already:
On Moderate Republicans:
Keyes on Moderate Republicans
?On all the matters that touch upon the critical moral issues, Arnold Schwarzenegger is on the evil side. This is a fact. A mere list of the positions he supports is enough to make this plain: abortion as a ?right,? cloning of human beings, governmental classification of citizens by race, public benefits for sexual partners outside of marriage, disrespect for property rights against environmental extremism, repudiation of the right to bear arms – no more need be said to show that this candidate is wrong where human decency, human rights and human responsibility bear directly on political issues.?WorldNetDaily, ?Arnold?s corruption of Republican Party,? October 6, 2003
Yeah, that’ll help the down ballot races. Sure. I’m sure that moderate pro-choice women in the burbs are going to love this guy. Sure of it. Certain even.
On Abortion:
Keyes on Reproductive Choice
?The violation on [sic] innocent human life is the same whether you commit terrorism or commit abortion.?People For the American Way Foundation, ?The Vocabulary of Terror: Anti-abortion politics since 9/11,? April 10, 2002
Definitely a uniter.
On Homosexuality:
Keyes on Homosexuality
?Hitler and his supporters were Satanists and homosexuals. That?s just a true statement.? He added that, ?The notion that is involved in homosexuality, the unbridled sort of satisfaction of human passions? leads to ??totalitarianism,? ?Nazism,? and ?communism.??People For the American Way Foundation, ?Hostile Climate 1997,? p.26
And on black anti-semitism:
Keyes on Jews and Anti-Semitism
?The tragic and violent clashes between blacks and Jews are unhappily not the product of a unique and isolated set of circumstances. I believe that, unwittingly, Jewish supporters of the government-dominated welfare state approach to the economic and social problems of the black community helped to create the mentality that now produces anger and anti-Semitism in black neighborhoods.?Alan Keyes, ?Our Character, Our Future,? May 2, 1996, p. 48-50
Alan Keyes hunger strike over being kept out of the 1996 GOP Primary Debate.
Keyes’ had his campaign site operational into 2002 for the 2000 Presidential race
