The GOP’s Nutty Negro- Why aren’t responsible Republicans speaking out against Alan Keyes’ rants on President Obama’s citizenship?
By: Lawrence Bobo
Alan Keyes is a despicable lunatic. In an incredible screed now available on YouTube, Keyes denounces President Obama as a non-citizen, radical communist, abortionist, murderer bent on the destruction of the United States. He openly refuses to address President Obama by his title, instead referring to him as an “alleged usurper,” whose supposedly debatable claim to the presidency will lead to “chaos, confusion and civil war.”
Keyes again raises questions about the legitimacy of Obama’s birth certificate, even though the U.S. Supreme Court rebuffed a recent legal effort to raise this canard in court. Then he denounces Obama not only for past abortion stands, but also for his positions on immigration and mortgage relief.
What’s going on here is obvious, desperate and tragic. Republicans are so traumatized by the loss of the White House that many of them have decided to interpret the phrase “loyal opposition” to mean “complete resistance to all proposals from Democrats.” They are gambling that we will not have worked our way out of the severe economic downturn by 2010, and that a relentless, obstructionist posture will benefit them in the midterm elections.
The absence of Republican voices denouncing the irresponsible remarks is as disconcerting as Keyes’ crazy rant. Where are the voices of responsible Republican leadership disassociating the party from such poisonous accusations? The silence is telling.
The GOP’s Nutty Negro....
Alan Keyes: Stop Obama or U.S. will cease to exist!!!!
