Have you heard about Cynthia McKinney, former U.S. Congresswoman?
According to those quoted on National Public Radio, McKinney's 'a loose cannon' (media expert) who "the people of Atlanta are embarrassed and disgusted" (politician) by, and she is also 'loony' and 'dangerous' (senator from her own party).
Yow! And why is McKinney dangerous/loony/disgusting According to NPR, McKinney implied that the [Bush] Administration knew in advance about September 11 and deliberately held back the information.
The New York Times' Lynette Clemetson revealed her comments went even further over the edge: Ms. McKinney suggest[ed] that President Bush might have known about the September 11 attacks but did nothing so his supporters could make money in a war.
That's loony, all right. As an editor of the highly respected Atlanta Journal Constitution told NPR, McKinney's practically accused the President of murder!
Problem is, McKinney never said it.
More down there
Cynthia McKinney is one of the few Democrats who has had the balls to stand up to the creeping fascism that is threatening our democracy. She was blackballed back in 2002, based on bullshit allegations reminiscient of Al Gore's alleged claimes to have invented the internet.
Now why would the Republicans have a problem with McKinney? Check this out. And when I say check this out, I mean don't bother commenting unless you do. Cynthia nails Rumsfeld on all the issues we wish the MSM would. No surprise you never saw this on CNN, she nails all the right people ,and she nails them rock star style.

This is the type of Democrat we need. It's no wonder that the Rethugs are out to get her. Granted we don't have all the information on the exact details of what occured, but it's not unreasonable for someone who has been in congress for over twelve years to expect to be recognized when showing up for work in the morning. I've had to show ID when showing up to work before, and it conststantly only takes a week or so for security to recognize you.
I'm not saying whether McKinney's actions were right or wrong, I'm just pointing out that all the evil people killing our country would be happier than a pig knee deep in shit to not have her around anymore.
