(CNSNews.com) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations is congratulating former U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney for winning her primary race in Georgia's 4th congressional district.
McKinney beat five other Democrats on Tuesday, with enough votes to avoid a runoff, and as CAIR noted, she is favored to win her old seat back in November.
CAIR calls McKinney "a consistent friend of the American Muslim community and a strong advocate for issues of concern to Muslims, particularly the promotion of social justice and the defense of civil liberties."
Her pro-Palestinian views have not gone over well with Jewish voters, however.
McKinney made national headlines in October 2001 for pursuing a $10 million charitable contribution from a Saudi prince -- money intended to help victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani angrily returned the check, after Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal suggested that U.S. Middle East policy contributed to the terrorist attacks. The prince urged the U.S. to "re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stance toward the Palestinian cause."
Then in March 2002, McKinney suggested the Bush administration had failed to act on prior warnings of the Sept. 11 attacks.
In an interview with a Berkeley radio station, McKinney said, "We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11th . What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? What do they have to hide? Persons close to this administration are poised to make huge profits off America's new war," she charged.
First elected to Congress in 1992, McKinney served five terms until her primary defeat in 2002. Although she drew heavy support from the Muslim community, she could not overcome a determined Republican bid to oust her.
Thousands of Republicans crossed over and voted for Denise Majette in the 2002 Democratic primary, adding to Majette's considerable support from Jewish voters.
Following her defeat, McKinney vowed she'd be back, and it looks like she was right.
CAIR this week hailed McKinney's "promotion of balanced and forward-looking policies."
Is this supposed to be a surprise?
"Council on American-Islamic Relations is congratulating former U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney "
An endorsement from CAIR. If someone wasn't familiar with her, that's all the information necessary to know which side she's on.
She is also an enemy of these United States.
Why don't we just elect Osama and be done with the games.
Jihand Mckinney is one bug eyed freak traitor who has never upheld her oath to our Constitution.
We have very few Islamics in the GA 4th CD. McKinney took in big money, again, from out-of-the-district contributors with Arabic names.
< sigh>
I long for the days when we were part of Newt's old GA 6th, here in the north part of the county.
A few GA FReeper pings.
It is my hope that we will see her in a sting operation leaking classified information, tried, convicted, and doing Federal time.
One can always hope.
YUCK all the way around!
One can always hope.
That'll be a champaign day for sure!
I hear she's hired 14 Syrian musicians to play at her swearing-in party.
Evidently the Democrats made up a gerrymandered district consisting of only the Georgia brain damaged.

Your post is redundant.
Yes, that is true. Most demon rats are.
Atlanta is the 4th district. Add that to my list of places to stay away from.
Actually, the northern 1/8th or so of the District used to be in Newt's old GA 6th. We're nice folks up here.
As a Republican living in Ms McKinney's district, I view with regret her return to public life. However, her antics and foolish views do make politics entertaining.
Grrrrrrr........
Anyone that is led by her deserves what they get.. Flaunting her Muslim friendship could possibly be her downfall...
I'll vouch for that. Our little piece of heaven is actually a tiny fragment of Gwinnett county whereas the bulk of District 4 is Dekalb.
Guess P'Tree Corners looked awfully good to the dims when they gerrymandered us in.
