Purple Rain

"I never wanted to be your lover, I only wanted to be some kind of friend."

Is that what Alan Keyes said to Barack Obama before he delivered these comments?
------------------------------
The conservative former diplomat said Obama's vote against a bill that would have outlawed a form of late-term abortion denied unborn children of their equal rights. Both candidates — one an outspoken conservative and the other a favorite of party liberals — are black.

"I would still be picking cotton if the country's moral principles had not been shaped by the Declaration of Independence," Keyes said. He said Obama "has broken and rejected those principles — he has taken the slaveholder's position."

-----------------------------------------

Highly unlikely. It's clear why the Repubs picked Keyes now. He will probably be allowed to mention all sorts of obscene phrases and comments without the media paying too much attention...because he (they always say this) like Obama, is black.

Slaveholder's position? How aggresively offensive can one get? Good Lord.

By the way, we were wondering, does Alan Keyes still sound like a demented kermit the frog?
