Right-wing Republican Alan Keyes is back at it again, lobbing criticisms at President Obama that are more caustic than constructive. The former U.S. ambassador and presidential hopeful is reiterating his point that President Obama was not born in the United States. In a video he released this weekend, Keyes, who lost to Obama in the 2004 Illinois Senate race, says Obama is an “abomination.” He also argues that the United States will cease to exist if Obama is not removed from power, calling the president a “communist and usurper.” Alan Keyes is a conservative Republican who failed in his bids to become president and U.S. senator. In 2005, Keyes disowned his daughter, Maya, 19, now a Democrat and political activist, after she came out as a lesbian. He said all lesbians are guilty of “selfish hedonism.”
