The Rev. Jackson takes Keyes side?

Saturday, August 21, 2004

U.S. Senate candidate Alan Keyes found an unlikely ally Friday in his effort to land a speaking role at the Republican National Convention.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson during a radio show challenged President Bush and GOP convention organizers to give Keyes a prominent speaking role. Keyes deserves the support of his party "for the risk and the heat he is taking," Jackson said.

"President Bush said blacks should not let the Democratic Party take them for granted and that more blacks should run as Republicans," Jackson said on WBBM Newsadio's "At Issue" program taping. "Now he has what he asked for."

The Keyes campaign has been lobbying convention organizers for a speaking role to balance the keynote slot given to his opponent, Barack Obama, at the Democratic National Convention in Boston.

1. The racists who control the pugs won't let Keyes speak

[Julien Sorel]

2. The more visible he is, the better.

It won't help him win, but it will help establish the Republicans as what they are: a party that has been taken over by loons.

3. I hope they let him speak

He's a total wingnut!

He would definitely scare off a few people! :D

[Blue_Roses]

4. I don't think he's taking his side

so to speak, just stating the obvious--Keyes is a repub and should be given a spot at the convention. Hell, then EVERYONE would know what a nutcase he is!;)

6. Exactly. Jackson is just pointing out a hypocrisy.

The Repugs keep claiming that the Dems take blacks for granted, well Jesse is just challenging them back that if the Repugs are so inclusive, why don't they let Keyes speak at the RNC.

5. Yes!Yes! Show off the nut case!

The GOP gets what it asked for. The world gets the truth.

7. Rev. Jackson-smart as a fox

Keyes should speak. I want everyone to know that the GOP stands for, especially the far right nut wing.

8. Let Him Speak

it will be great, like Buchanan in 1992.

9. Good for Jesse!

This IS hilarious....and Jesse's got them good and hooked...

Keep him from speaking, and you've pointed up what racist shitheels the GOP are...

Put him on the podium, and you show the country what hypocritical craziness is first hand...

and lets all bring up the comments bush made about taking black voters for granted as one reason why bush should have keyes speak in primetime.
