Alan Keyes Calls Obama an ' Abomination'

H/T Daily Dish, a video of Alan Keyes is below and found at YouTube here, where he calls Barack Obama an "abomination" and says he must be stopped or the U.S. will cease to exist.



Some key excerpts:

Obama is a radical communist, and I think it is becoming clear. That is what I told people in Illinois and now everybody realizes it’s true. He is going to destroy this country, and we are either going to stop him or the United States of America is going to cease to exist.

[...]

The man is an abomination. He is someone who has actually advocated infanticide; that when babies are the target of abortion,if they happen to escape the abortionist’s intention, and are born alive, he actually supported the idea that those babies should be set aside to die! That is a man with such a seared conscience, I can’t even understand why anybody in their right mind would consider him worthy of political support. That’s a violation of conscience that is inconceivable. And even some of the most hardline pro-abortion people in America reject that abomination, and he did not.


Listen to the whole 4 minute video for yourself.

First off, the U.S. is strong, four years of any political party running the country will not cause it us to "cease to exist" and secondly, there is nothing wrong with criticizing policy decisions, bad bill such as the porkfest stimulus, but to go personal and start calling Obama an abomination, is crossing a line and Keyes shouldn't have gone there.

Keyes could have made his points without such inflammatory language.
