Cynthia McKinney plays the race card

Posted by Moonage on 03 Apr 2006 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day

Didn’t take long for Cynthia McKinney to do exactly what I expected her to do:

Rep. Cynthia McKinney, the Georgia congresswoman who had an altercation with a Capitol Police officer, said Friday the officer started the incident by €śinappropriately touching and stopping€ť her after she walked past a security checkpoint.

McKinney, speaking at a news conference where she was joined by singer Harry Belafonte and actor Danny Glover, said she understands that a case against her may be referred for prosecution but declared that she will be exonerated.

€śLet me be clear. This whole incident was instigated by the inappropriate touching and stopping of me, a female black congresswoman,€ť McKinney said. €śI deeply regret that this incident occurred.€ť…….

€śCongresswoman Cynthia McKinney, like thousands of average Americans across this country, is, too, a victim of the excessive use of force by law enforcement officials because of how she looks and the color of her skin,€ť he said.

The only thing I got wrong was her being escorted by Harry Belafonte instead of Jesse Jackson. And for that, I apologize to Jesse and offer my condolences to him for getting beat to the headlines by Harry.

Now, I’m gonna betcha that every second of that confrontation was filmed. My second bet is that those cops were doing EXACTLY what most of the country expects them to do. How will Cynthia and her race-baiting lawyers and media whores explain that? She’s trying an out now, she had just had a makeover. But, that’s not good enough for me. Some crazy looking person storms one of the most historical buildings in the US, I expect security to do whatever it takes to protect that building. And, being as a couple of security guys were killed last year by someone behaving exactly as McKinney did, she should be damn glad she’s alive right now.

Hey Georgia, aren’t you embarrassed ENOUGH yet? There IS another candidate.

    [...] they can be voted out. My problem is we keep losing good ones who know how to get things done. Having a bunch clueless idiots in DC does the country no good at all. Once again, that’s contrary to a lot of people’s opinions. But, it’s a fact. [...]
