Alan Keyes had a number of Arab groups complaining about him and putting the pressure on MSNBC to can him. This move was MSNBC's way out.

He wasn't getting the ratings at night, so they were going to move him to daytime. It looks as though he quit, though:

Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes, who got a show just last January, declined to move to MSNBC's daytime lineup and will be off after July 15, the day most changes take effect.

I guess blaming Arabs and GLAAD sounds more impressive than saying he quit.

Maybe.... MAYBE, Dr Keyes will learn a lesson here. You don't talk down to your guests, and you don't talk down to your audience.

He may be a dynamic speaker to the choir, but he looses his point with his arrogance. I could not watch him longer than 3 minutes.He had the same attitude during the election..sitting there inbetween Gore and Bush with that stupid goofy smirk on his face. It is too bad he has that, cause he is not ALL wrong on ALOT of things. He just can't present it right in a t.v. setting. On stage may be another thing.

I am now waiting for the N.A.A.C.P. to say MSNBC is racist. Geez, I hope that don't happen.
