Do you blame him for mentioning someone else's daughter? Yes or no?
Well, that's wonderful, but he's also had a lot of truly despicable things to say about the President.
Yeah, okay Gelato - whatever. LOL
There is more to this story than the liberal media is portraying. I'll have some breaking news late Tonight. The media is not giving us the full story.
Even better, "the bullet that kills you."
Are you equating being gay with serial murder?
He wasn't asked about his daughter. He had already said that ALL practicing homosexuals are selfish-hedonists.
... he had the opportunity to do the right thing -- the honorable, courteous, kind hearted thing -- and say something like "I'm not going to get into other family's personal heartbreaks," since he knew full well he had the same problem under his very own roof.
That is a load of garbage. He was asked what his opinion of homosexuality was and he answered according to his beliefs. He was then pressed for a yes or no as to whether that included Lynn Cheney, an admitted lesbian. Saying no would be an obvious hypocrisy. Saying nothing or refusing to answer would have also been an hypocrisy. The interviewer deliberately drew that corner to force a political controversy. He stood on principle and refused to bend to that political blackmail and has been vilified for it. And here you are, right on cue, to dish out more.
But instead he snatched the opportunity to grab face time by discussing the family of a sitting vice president, a man in his own party.
A politician, running for office, invited to an interview, on radio, is "grabbing face-time?" Oh, my, the shock and horror of it!
It's bad enough trying to keep up with the two-faced deceit of sinkspur but I'm not going to spend time responding to FR's biggest Bushbot joke. Have a nice afternoon.
I guess in your world... money = love?
I think you are in the wrong forum.
When did Lynne Cheney admit to being a lesbian? I'm sure Dick would want to know.
It's always been this way. In spite of being The World's Greatest Orator™, the man certainly needs a big cleanup crew.
Deuteronomy 30:19 - I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
WEASEL WORDS.
He had already said that ALL practicing homosexuals are selfish-hedonists.
Yeah, but the audience didn't have the "benefit" of knowing he had one in HIS family, too.
Hypocrite.

Do you think that is a smear against me? I'm proud to be a supporter of President George W. Bush and the things he has done for this country and the world. If you think that's a joke, perhaps that's your problem.
Furthermore, it is overreaching to compare Dick Cheney to a Pharisee. On foreign policy and most domestic matters, Cheney is more conservative than the Bush Administration generally and thus closer to Alan Keyes' positions.
Nowhere did Jesus Christ alter his principles, but His technique and strategy changed depending on the circumstance and the person. Strategy is not the same as principle. It is wrong when one abandons principle for the sake of strategy. Last year, President Bush and Senator Santorum (R - Pennsylvania) abandoned their pro-life and conservative principles by supporting the pro-abortion Arlen Spector (RINO - Scotland) against a pro-life, conservative challenger in the Republican primary. However, it is not compromise to tailor one's message before certain audiences. Inner city residents are interested in tougher law enforcement and stiffer sentences for convicted criminals. Lower taxes and less regulation of business will appeal to residents of more affluent suburbs. The wise politician will know what to say and when to say it.
I agree with Alan Keyes' position on homosexuality and support his "tough love" technique toward his daughter. I regard the Cheneys' approach toward their daughter as too permissive. I also don't see a problem with Keyes condemning homosexuality despite the sexual orientation of his daughter. Phyllis Schafly's son has been "outed" for more than a decade, yet that has not stopped her from condemning perversion. That being said, there is a time and a place for comments on Cheney's daughter and her lesbianism. Keyes, under pressure, chose the wrong one.
Perhaps YOU should do some "homework" and read down the thread; he already did that.
Good 4 You BTTT
640 posts and EV, Keyes' chief defender, is nowhere on this thread. He promised to "get back to me" last week to refute a factual link re Keyes, and I haven't seen him since.
You must have one of them new versions of Catechism, like the Willow Creek version where no one gets excommunicated and everyone lives in Eutopia.
Where sin is a bad word.
Didn't Jesus have a hissy fit when he returned to the temple and found it full of dancing hookers and thieves? I seem to recall a story like that, where he threw out one of his disciples for shaming the house of his father.
I'm sure someone here better versed in the Bible can come up with this passage.
Mike Signorile: "So Mary Cheney is a selfish hedonist, is that it?"
Alan Keyes: "Of course she is. That goes by definition. Of course she is." Mike Signorile: "I don't think Dick Cheney would like to hear that about his daughter."
Alan Keyes: "He may or may not like to hear the truth, but it can be spoken."
ROFLMAO, full court "press."
