Raw Story

Alan Keyes, a three-time presidential candidate, called President Obama a “radical communist” and a “usurper” and said with him in charge, America “is going to cease to exist” at a pro-life fundraiser Thursday.
“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 is coming true,” said Keyes who ran unsuccessfully against Obama for the Senate in 2004. “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,” said Keyes.
In an interview in Hastings, Neb. with a KHAS reporter at the fundraiser, Keyes called Obama an “abomination” for some of his pro-choice views.
“The man is an abomination,” Keyes said, going on to accuse Obama of being supportive of infanticide. “That is a man with such a seared conscience, I can’t even understand why anyone in their right mind would consider him worthy of political support.”
Keyes also claimed that Obama had no standing to be president. Keyes said Obama was actually born in Kenya and so did not meet the Constitutional presidency requirements of being a natural-born U.S. citizen.
He said Obama was a “usurper occupying the office without constitutional warrant.”
“He has refused to provide proof that he is in fact a natural-born citizen,” Keyes said. “I’m not even sure he is president of the United States.”
When the reporter interviewing him apparently cracked a smile at this, Keyes angrily responded with “that is not a laughing matter. We’re going to find ourselves in the midst of chaos, confusion and civil war.”
Keyes is one of several people who have filed lawsuits challenging Obama’s citizenship.
Despite his far-right views, Keyes was not adverse to joining Michael Moore’s traveling mosh pit during the 2000 presidential campaign. Moore, a left-leaning documentarian who is often demonized by the right, promised Keyes that if he joined the mosh pit, he would receive his endorsement.
