Keyes: Cheney's Daughter a Sinner
Wednesday, September 01, 2004
NEW YORK — Illinois Republican Senate candidate Alan Keyes (search) labeled homosexuality "selfish hedonism" and said Vice President Dick Cheney's (search) lesbian daughter is a sinner.
The former talk show host who has made two unsuccessful runs for the White House made the comments Monday night in an interview with Sirius OutQ, a satellite radio station that provides programming aimed at gays and lesbians.
After saying homosexuality is "selfish hedonism," Keyes was asked if that made Mary Cheney (search) "a selfish hedonist."
"Of course she is," Keyes replied. "That goes by definition."
Liz Cheney (search), Mary's sister, refused to comment Wednesday during a televised interview.
"I guess I'm surprised, frankly, that you would even repeat the quote, and I'm not going to dignify it with a comment," she told the interviewer.
The Log Cabin Republicans (search), a gay and lesbian organization, denounced Keyes' remark.
"In a political career defined by failures, this is a new low for Alan Keyes," executive director Patrick Guerriero said in a statement Wednesday. "Attacking politician's children is beyond the pale, even for an extremist like Alan Keyes."

He shoots himself in the foot via his mouth."
He certainly isn't going to win in Illinois. It was already an uphill battle against Obama, but now the Illinois GOP is distancing themselves from him.
<<"Perhaps because she used the word You.">>..........I took that "you" as a general 'you', as in <<"Kerry's goons would have one/you bound, gagged, and on ice until after the election.">>
Oh well.
Whren owes no apology, and you have no ground on which to complain given the nature of your own posts.

That's true .... come to think of it, he never did respond to my question about why and how Bush is personally responsible for the supposed wage gap between men and women.
