this video made my day.... i hate that bigot so much, i swear if MLK was here he'd spit in your face alan keyes

@Aviator411 "Bigot"? Do you even know what that word means? In what way is Keyes a "bigot"?

And even if you hate Keyes, it is pathetic for you to enjoy seeing someone violated like that.

i really have no reference on keyes but can anybody tell me what he exactly do to go to the slammer?

[pudgenet]

@ala4akbar He didn't go to "the slammer." He was arrested, but never processed, and then he was released. The details of what happened are in the video description.

Mr. Keyes, you are no Martin Luther King Jr.

[pudgenet]

@Tsnore Do you have a point? He didn't say he was MLK Jr. Nobody is, except MLK Jr. So what?  Does that mean his struggle is any less, just because he isn't MLK Jr.?

[pudgenet]

@TheSAfrah You really believe that? When just this week Ann Coulter was threatened with arrest in Ottawa if she engaged in "hate speech"?

Pull the other one.

[pudgenet]

@TheoryIsSpeculation You're confused. I was the one *criticizing* the use of "hate speech." @TheSAfrah was whining about how Canada is free, and I pointed out the fact that Coulter was threatened by the state with prosuection for hate speech crimes, which means Canada *is not* speech. Then @Aviator411 said that disallowing Coulter to speak would be a good thing, and I said he hates liberty and the freedom of speech.

@MrSickofstupidity Threatening/or wishing someone dies because you disagree with his views is less hateful? Alan has never used violence in his protest, just a voice. They kicked him out unjustly. Even if your against his views, this was wrong.

[MrSickofstupidity]

Alan Keyes is a racist nigger and needs to die.

[johnnyohness]

@ala4akbar He was just himself and thats more than enough excuse to jail him and throw away the KEYS.

@Aviator411

what  about Yo sama yo bama ?

@ChicagoNeilcon His living family who knew him personally knows MLK Jr. would not have stood for what progressives are trying to do today. I've heard them speak about him in person. And yet, many progressives still try to claim they know him better than his own family does. It's arrogant and ridiculous to no end. It's like the only way they'll understand is if... well they won't. They can't accept the truth when it shows something different to what they believe.
