Former Rep. Cynthia McKinney appeared on Muammar Qaddafi's state television channel to support the Libyan dictator and to criticize President Obama.
The Green Party must be so proud! McKinney is a former Democratic Representative from Georgia who switched to the Green Party in 2008, in order to run for President.
"I want to say categorically and very clearly that these policies of war ... are not what the people of the United States stand for and it's not what African-Americans stand for," she told state TV.
The former Georgia representative also slammed the economic policies of U.S. President Barack Obama and said the government of the United States no longer represents the interests of the American people.

The station on which McKinney appeared Saturday night is loyal to Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi and her interview was spliced with video of pro-Gadhafi rallies, CNN said.
"I think that it's very important that people understand what is happening here. And it's important that people all over the world see the truth. And that is why I am here ... to understand the truth," McKinney was quoted as saying during the live interview.

The former representative also used her odd forum to criticize the American president and U.S. economic policies, stating:
Under the economic policies of the Obama administration, those who have the least are losing the most. And those who have the most are getting even more. The situation in the United States is becoming more dire for average ordinary Americans....
McKinney also appeared on state-run Press TV in Iran this week. She was in Tehran to attend the International Conference on Global Alliance Against Terrorism for a Just Peace.

Is this what the extreme left has degenerated into...an international road show in support of ruthless dictators? Will the Green Party and the NPA (who are considering McKinney as one of their possible primary opponents for President Obama) condemn her actions in support of Libya and Iran?
I have never cared for Cynthia McKinney, but I am shocked that she has descended to this. I expect the Republicans to sell their souls to dictators. The progressives...not so much.
