Alan Keyes meltdown

This time it was on Sirius radio.

From Drudgereport.com.

 

Alan Keyes, the Republican candidate for a vacant U.S. Senate seat in Illinois, said Tuesday that Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter Mary is a "selfish hedonist" because she is a lesbian.

 

His comments came during an interview with SIRIUS satellite radio.

 

Keyes said: "The essence of ... family life remains procreation. If we embrace homosexuality as a proper basis for marriage, we are saying that it's possible to have a marriage state that in principal excludes procreation and is based simply on the premise of selfish hedonism."

 

Asked whether that meant Mary Cheney "is a selfish hedonist," Keyes said: "That goes by definition. Of course she is."

What will be less, percentage of votes for Alan Keyes or Rich Daley's next "opponent"?

 

Discuss.

That is a very interesting question. There are only two democrats who I'd ever vote for ( Bill Lipinski and Mayor Daley ) and one of them is now retiring but I want to see Obama win this election by a huge margin just to stick it to the Illinois Republican party for picking this lunatic when they could have gotten Judy Baar Topinka to run instead and possibly won the seat that way.

What has happened to Keyes since the days he was the GOP wonderkid who was going to lead the way for more minority involvement in the GOP? His rebuttal to one of Clinton's State of the Union speeches was great. Now he's psycho from what I'm reading.

When did he do the rebuttal? I remember JC Watts doing it, but not Alan Keyes.

Keyes: Cheney's Gay Daughter Is a Sinner

 

51 minutes ago

 

 

NEW YORK - Illinois Republican Senate candidate Alan Keyes (news - web sites) labeled homosexuality "selfish hedonism" and said Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites)'s lesbian daughter is a sinner.

 

 

The former talk show host who has made two unsuccessful runs for the White House made the comments Monday night in an interview with Sirius OutQ, a satellite radio station that provides programming aimed at gays and lesbians.

 

 

After saying homosexuality is "selfish hedonism," Keyes was asked if that made Mary Cheney "a selfish hedonist."

 

 

"Of course she is," Keyes replied. "That goes by definition."

 

 

Liz Cheney, Mary's sister, refused to comment Wednesday during an interview on CNN.

 

 

"I guess I'm surprised, frankly, that you would even repeat the quote, and I'm not going to dignify it with a comment," she told the interviewer.

 

 

The Log Cabin Republicans (news - web sites), a gay and lesbian organization, denounced Keyes' remark.

 

 

"In a political career defined by failures, this is a new low for Alan Keyes," executive director Patrick Guerriero said in a statement Wednesday. "Attacking politician's children is beyond the pale, even for an extremist like Alan Keyes."

 

 

In the days before the Republican National Convention, Dick Cheney spoke at some length about the fact that Mary is a lesbian and his view of gay relationships. His tacit support for states' rights on the issue of same-sex marriage and less-than-ringing endorsement of President Bush (news - web sites)'s push for a constitutional amendment to ban gay unions drew criticism from several conservative groups.
