Alan Keyes, Obama Birth Certificate Obsessive, Arrested On Charges Of Trespassing
One-time presidential candidate, failed MSNBC talk show host, and U.S. Senate hopeful Alan Keyes was one of 22 people arrested this morning on charges of trespassing. The group--26 in total--had convened to protest President Barack Obama's upcoming commencement speech at Notre Dame University.
Anti-abortion groups have been livid ever since the Catholic school invited Obama (who is pro-choice) to address this years graduating class a couple months ago, and the fact that, as part of the arrangement, Obama will receive an honorary degree has, in their minds, added insult to injury.
Without questioning the sincerity of most of these protestors, it's worth pointing out that Keyes may have a wee bit of a score to settle. It was Obama, after all, who defeated Keyes in that 2004 Senate race, and in recent months he's been on a one man campaign to "prove" that Obama isn't a "natural born citizen."
