Wondering if Alan Keyes is going to endorse Tim Burgess for City Council - two peas in about the same pod - after all isn't Keyes one of the folks Burgess thinks we should recruit to get better political traction?

People of faith from .... you know Burgess's famed editorial letter/plea to Seattle.

all love except the lesbian daughter, ugh, ugh, ugh

Anybody who so much as hints that people who think differently are worth working with, as Burgess has done, isn't a real Christian to Keyes and so must be ruthlessly driven out. Ideologues live in a very small world. People like Keyes are obsessed. If you were to comment on what you had for lunch, Keyes would find a way to make the conversation all about his ideology.

Know anybody like that, Mary?

is this because repubs are more likely to breed homos or because the media picks up on the drama and irony of homophobes having queer kids?

And what is new about lying PR hacks?

Rigid ex cops? Take the hate money and snicker how the nice Seattle people don't get it?

New, hardly... leadership hardly. I find Burgess's game old, stale, and cynical. Take the hate monger money and talk of Jesus, oh sure, what a bizarre concept of Christ like values.

Bah to Burgess and his double talk. And if he and Keyes are people of faith, so very glad they will never breath my air or touch me. Contaminated, both of them.

Bubba, you been brainwashed. Or in the turnip field too long.

The people of faith I admire were taking care of people with AIDS suffering in dying agony, NOT writing hate mail to raise millions of dollars off their blood and plight. Case in point for both Keyes and Burgess - Mother Theresa opened AIDS hospices - did not preach or sell hate.

By the way, if it exists, hate vendors surely will go to hell.

I worked in hotels for many years, including when Alan Keyes stayed in my hotel during the 1996 campaign. Knowing at the time that Keyes was a christianista anti-sex psychotic jackass, nothing brought me greater pleasure than reviewing his room bill and seeing that he had watched a porno.

Often, out of deference to customer service, hotels will just remove these movies if you ask nicely enough and/or insist you didn't watch it (even though we know you did, ya fuckin perv).

Not me. Not with Alan Keyes. I wanted his fucking FEC reports to show one porno movie charged to his bigoted campaign, and I made him pay for that fucking thing. I'm happy to say that I have faced an angry Mr. and Mrs. Keyes and survived to laugh and laugh and laugh every time his crazy ass runs for office.

If people don't see a problem with this kind of person running for a position in U.S. government, we have a serious problem.

We admire him for one simple reason:

when he posts on Slog, he uses his own fucking name.

What a fucking douche.

I am not kidding, during the 2004 Senate race, I saw one - one - Alan Keyes sign in a yard in Chicago. It was so unfamiliar I had to look a couple times to even see what it was.

I think Obama won with about 70%.
