At footnote 29, the article states that republican leaders found his debate questions on abortion 'unnecessary and divisive' the article in the Washington Post which is supposed to support this statement merely states that he asked 'pointed' questions about abortion and not how republican leaders might have felt about this - if the comment in the article is true then it ought to be referenced properly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TTID (talk • contribs) 15:56, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
Racial commentary & media
Latest comment: 18 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
I broke up the section on media and advocacy and moved the racial commentary under its own header. Is this an improvement?
Revised: "Keyes has repeatedly spoken in themes of race and racism, often accusing others of racism." This is a silly exaggeration. (Jesse Jackson, et al, would give Keyes a run for the money in the racism-accusing department.)
Following that statement were examples of the alleged accusations of racism. The accusations regarding media racism were easily verified, sourced, and corrected. The paragraph below no so:
In 1987 Keyes reportedly accused Deputy Secretary of State John C. Whitehead of racially insulting him and then quit his post there. Media reports also claimed Keyes accused the Republican National Committee of racism in 1992 when the GOP did not give him a prime speaking spot at the Republican National Convention (the RNC later gave him 2 speaking spots). Keyes would apparently again accuse the GOP of racism when they pulled their support for his trailing candidacy for the Senate in Maryland.
Unless the above can be verified and sourced, it likely falls under the exaggeration category typical of this page, and deserves the axe (or at least more tweaking). The words reportedly, claimed, and apparently were added by me to give some balance to the unproven statements. There is always another side to the story. That is missing from this paragraph (and from much of this page, for that matter).
I have spent the day cleaning up this page from its slew of inaccuracies, wrong dates, quotes used without context, positions on issues actually reversed, and editorializing. I would like to see the important facts surrounding this public figure expanded, and the irrelevancies and obvious pot-shots reduced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.41.173.145 (talk) 09:36, 22 June 2005 (UTC)
response
Alan Keyes' response to his daughter's sexuality is absolutely relevant to this entry. Can someone who is not interested in censoring this entry properly append it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.167.171.0 (talk) 23:17, August 23, 2007 (UTC)
GA Reassessment
Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion
This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Alan Keyes/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.
This 2007 promotion does not meet the GA criteria as:
Various unreliable sourced like "Buyingofthepresident.org", "ashbrook.org", "Ontheissues.org", "www.politics1.com", "www.renewamerica.us", etc. are used.
Prose issues: Overuse of quotations, grammar and flow issues. Lead does not accurately summarize the topic.
Neutrality issues: The article does not maintain a neutral point of view. Statements like "He went on the offensive against his opponents during the debate ...", etc.
