"What makes you think Alan Keyes is crazy, Max?"

Running against Barak Obama with less than three months to go for a regional position in a region he isn't from and allowing them to pick him because he's Republican, Willing and coincidentally black?

He has a link to Newsmax on his website?

"In its simplest form, evolution represents the view that the ordering principle of reality is "the survival of the fittest," or that outcomes validate themselves simply by occurring. So if there is any standard at all, that standard is simply "what works." Whether you want to call it survival, dominance or superiority, the standard is simply "what works."

-Alan Keyes, 'simplifying' the concept of evolution all the way back to darwin, as if no science had taken place since then and 'survival of the fittest' were still a theory that held sway with anyone besides free market true believers.


"A strong case can be made, therefore, that it is a fundamental DUTY of the free citizen to keep and bear arms."
-Alan Keyes, toying with the argument that I should be required to have a gun.

"Do they ever ask us before they raise taxes? "
Alan Keyes, pretending he doesn't know what representative government is.

" I oppose this whole Affirmative Action business."
-Alan Keyes prior to accepting the Republican invitation to run against Obama.

"when you tell me that somebody’s skin color or gender is going to determine their prospects in this world, that is turning the clock back hundreds of years."
-ibid

"Preferential affirmative action patronizes American blacks"
-ibid



I guess none of those things means he's literally crazy. If you want to posit instead that he's deliberately intellectually dishonest for political gain on fairly massive scale, I'll be happy to call him a liar instead of crazy.



And say, Nalds, Don't you think Barak Obama is just the kind of Black leader you were only a few months ago claiming didn't exist? You know, back when you wwere passing yourself off as being Black?
