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.
Comparing Keyes with Thoreau is a lot like comparing Bush and Winston Churchill. Or cornflakes and eggs benedict.
