G-Freeman, sorry to take so long getting back to you, but I just now returned to this thread.
I've only been watching the foxnews channel for about two weeks as we just started getting it (and I was out deer hunting ) so my familiarity with Hannity and Colmes is limited. It seems that Keyes essentially called the liberal Colmes a racist a few weeks ago on the show, so there is some tension between Keyes and H&C. And they did persist in that line of questioning of Keyes after the debate, instead of focusing on what he had to say on the issues.
Also, the Republican strategist who was a guest on H&C after the debates sickened me with his dismissal of Keyes for his "radical" views, you know, crazy ideas like a return to governing as the Constitution allows. I used to expect that sort of nonsense from the liberal side of the Democrats, but now...
At first when I heard Keyes was calling the media racist I thought he was overstepping, now I'm convinced that he is correct. They will not let him air his platform without engaging him on race. His campaign is not about race, it's about bringing America back to its intended path. The media is fixated on race, as they can't seem to understand a black man who will not be enslaved or patronized. Talk about racism.
Alan Keyes handily wins the polls, easily dominates the debates and has positions on issues that are consistent with the constitution, yet he "can't win", even amongst Republicans. WTF? Who's calling the shots here, the people or the pundits?
