If Alan Keyes were a Democrat, would he be on Scarborough tomorrow PM?
Edited on Mon Aug-16-04 11:19 PM by kentuck
And would he be all over talk radio? Would he get even 10% of the coverage he is now getting on cable television and talk radio? An honest person would have to admit that if he were a Democrat running under the same circumstances, he would be totally ignored. What does that mean?

It means that much of the mainstream media is a tool of the Republican Party. There would be no other reason on earth to have such a candidate get the amount of publicity that Keyes has been getting on the Republican talk shows. If he were a Democrat, you would never hear his name. So much for the "liberal media" arguments...<sarcasm off>

1. And people would be all over TV, nonstop
Discussing how shameful it is that he run in a state in which he does not reside, and they would accuse the Dems of race baiting.

2. there is a democrat under the same circumstances
Barack Obama! and he's def not getting as much media coverage. I've only seen him occasionally mentioned on CNN and then his speech at the convention.

9. Joe Hoeffel, Democrat running in Pennsylvania, is
Edited on Mon Aug-16-04 11:24 PM by Eric J in MN
suffering from lack of coverage.

I think Pennsylvania would want to replace Arlen Spector with a new US Senator if they knew more about their alternative.

But Joe Hoeffel is trailing aobut 51-36 because people don't know him.

12. He gives the gasbags a boner!
Because he's outspoken in his nonsensical views and they like that! Entertainment factor first before objective reporting, baby!
