Backing Obama called mortal sin

Illinois' U.S. Senate candidates spent much of Halloween at churches Sunday, but Republican Alan Keyes was the one who openly mixed his faith with politics as he declared that any Roman Catholic who votes for Democrat Barack Obama would be committing a mortal sin.

Keyes, who earlier told GOP leaders of his intention to make provocative campaign statements to get attention, ratcheted up the rhetoric further as he declared that there was no difference between Catholics who support Obama and Germans who voted for the Nazi Party.

LOL!!!

Yeah; it was a tossup between this lunatic, and Zell Miller, I'm sure.

[Maddy McCall]

1. Does anyone even listen to Keyes anymore?

I think his political career is OVER. He has no future anywhere.

[chiburb]

3. He says he's staying in Illinois to "rebuild" the Puke Party...

I hope he does...

:-)

[Maddy McCall]

5. Yes, I suppose...

but you folks in Illinois must wish him gone. Just don't send him south! :-)

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

19. Oh yes, me too!

It's been so much fun watching the local GOP machine ignore him this year. I wonder how much they'll up the bribe to get Ditka involved again. Bwahahahahaha.

[jackson]

22. yeah we sure don't need him back in Maryland.

[Hello_Kitty]

2. If Obama is a Nazi, then Keyes is Satan Incarnate by comparison. n/t

[demnan]

4. I'm sure no one is taking this Keyes guy seriously

He's laughed at in Maryland as a horse's ass.

[yellowcanine]

7. In my part of Maryland we just think he is an ass. A horse's ass is at

least attached to a horse, which has some redeeming value.

[Chili]

18. ROTFLMAO!

Thanks for the laugh, I needed it!

[yellowcanine]

6. If you are going down, might as well go down in flames. Asshole.

[Nordic]

8. who died and made him God?

He ain't even the pope.

"judge not". Guess he left out the bible-reading part of evengelicism.

[PretzelWarrior]

9. so that's how you act when you're down 50 percentage points in polls

LOLOLOLOL. At this point, Keyes' political future is all the way over. He's off to the land of cable news pundit.

too funny.

[CottonBear]

14. He is a failed cable news pundit.

He was too scary and disturbing, even for cable audiences.

[TaleWgnDg]

10. Hey, wasn't there a time when Libertarians drooled over . . .

every whisper of Alan Keyes? Except, that is, when he opened his mouth about religion this and religion that and religion should be our law? Heh. According to Keyes, Roman Catholic dictum orders Americans how to vote. "Mortal sin?" Wonderful!

From the everyday Joe's viewpoint, this off-the-wall radical has always been radical and off-the-wall and it didn't take too much to detect it either.

Danziger (once again) hits the nail on the head w/ this op/ed cartoon:

. . . . . . . . . .

[rocktivity]

11. That should get his poll numbers

back up into the teens.

:headbang:
rocknation

[robsul82]

12. I've never known...

...anyone who is actually insane to run for office before. If this Irish Roman Catholic lived in Chicago, he can bet his "hedonist" daughter I'd vote for Edwards' 2012 VP pick, Barack Obama!

Later.

[stevietheman]

13. What a maroon! n/t

[Javaman]

15. After the election Alan and Zel will be...

in the boobie hatch catching butterfly's. Those guys are certifiable.

[PatriotGames]

16. Keyes is always good for a laugh! LOL

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

17. I wonder if Cardinal George is aware he's got competition

Or if John Paul II knows that he consecrated another cardinal for the Chicago archdiocese.

What a horse's patoot. But at least he's provided us with some levity during this exhausting campaign season.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. Is it too late to stick his head on a flyer with Bush's

And distribute it in Wisconsin?

[Chescher]

21. Now *that* is a GREAT idea!

I'm sure Wisco has already dubbed him a FIB...

[4_Legs_Good]

23. mein Fuhrer I can walk!

[KitSileya]

24. There's a reason....

...Obama is out campaigning for others - his own victory is so assured. This idiot is a complete has-been republican of absolutely no consequence, and the people of Illinois know it to the tune of a 45% lead for Obama last I heard.

And yeah, if this Catholic lived in Illinois, she'd be voting for Barack Obama too.

[Mr_Spock]

25. I hope this quote makes the evening news!!

Help push a few undecideds Kerry's way!

[Daocrat]

26. Keyes is a COMPLETE lunatic

We need SANITY IN A LANDSLIDE!!!

[chiburb]

27. Kick for the nite crew
