I've been trying to forget that she's back.
Thanks loads. :)
Cynthia McKinney: truly despicable! Still, we're a representative republic and if the members of her district want her as their rep.......... Thought naively that we had given her the boot well and good back in 2002. And her father too! I guess she was too good to continue her teaching position at Cornell, her being given such a position there made me truly fear the state of higher education.
Other than the yuks on the nude German swimmers thread, this has been a depressing night on FR!
American Blacks fall further behind. The wilderness of the Democrat Party is lonely and dry!!! Cynthia McKinney, Jesse Jackson, John Conyers. These poor folks are lost, or they just don't get it!!! But, then again an objective person has to wonder why any Jew in their right mind would ever vote Democrat with a "Jew" hater like McKinney running like a loose hate cannon in the Democrat Party.
She's great for us!!!!
Actually, if the her district was going to elect a Dem anyway, it's better to have a total nutjob like C McK in there than a reasonable sounding moderate. She can only embarass her party.
***the "hostile corporate media," allied with Republicans, "repeated falsehoods" about her, "distorted" her positions, and drove her from "my seat."***
First of all, where does she get the idea that the media wants anything to do with Republicans, other than through criticism?
Secondly, it's not HER seat. That seat belongs to the PEOPLE, and they put whoever they want in it.
The nitwit dopes voted her back in huh?
Well, they will only have themselves to blame for the idiocy they're gonna' get.
IMO, McKinney outght to consider cohabitating with Moore. They certainly share a great deal in common. They're both loud-mouthed fat, ugly, vile, ignorant, hypocritical, America-hating racist Marxists, for starters. Seems to me this would be the start of a great relationship. The racist thing might get in the way, though.
Heck, I hope the MSM covers this wanna-be communist like a blanket...considering her mouth & temperment, it will be good for our side, won't it?
SEEM NORMAL.. the girl is a nut..
Her daddy's the ones who said the problem was "The Jooos", right?
Black conservative ping
If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
We were rolling strong toward the primary
Then the Jews combined with the GOP
They both chose to defame the great McKinney name
It's the Jews' world, after all
Those J-E-W-S
Those J-E-W-S
Those J-E-W-S
It's the Jews', Jews' World
I could tell that they had been getting p*ssed
We had taken money from terrorists
They were sending in cash
about Bush we talked trash
It's the Jews' world, after all
Even daddy lost
it was quite surreal
Both elections we have just watched them steal
They were sending in cash
about Bush we talked trash
It's the Jews' world, after all
Those J-E-W-S
Those J-E-W-S
Those J-E-W-S
It's the Jews', Jews' world
I am quite prepared to incite a mob
I am mad 'cause I have to find a job
They were sending in cash
about Bush we talked trash
It's the Jews' world, after all
Another McKinney falls: Billy loses House (Jihad Cyndi's Dad Bites the Dust)

Another McKinney falls: Billy loses House seat
By RHONDA COOK and BILL TORPY
Atlanta Journal-Constitution Staff Writers
Voters booted the elder half of the controversial father-daughter McKinney team Tuesday.
State Rep. Billy McKinney lost in the Democratic primary runoff in the 44th House District to political newcomer John Noel three weeks after his daughter, Cynthia, lost her congressional seat. Noel polled nearly two-thirds of the vote in the district, which includes parts of Atlanta and Cobb County.
"I did not expect this because I expected black folks to turn out for me," said McKinney as he left J.R.'s Lounge on Fairburn Road. "They did not turn out for me. They wanted a Klansman, a son of the Confederacy."
McKinney (D-Atlanta), who has become infamous for anti-Semitic remarks, was referring to Noel's membership in Sons of the Confederate Veterans.
Noel, at his victory party, shrugged off McKinney's comments.
"That's the kind of crud we don't need anymore," said Noel. "The days of divisiveness are over."
McKinney led the close race in the August primary, but his heart never seemed to be in the race this time. McKinney, 75, a civil rights activist whose health has been failing, faced an energetic 31-year-old candidate who outworked him, going door to door throughout the district that added tony and white Vinings to the predominantly black Atlanta neighborhoods that have been the core of McKinney's support.
"We plugged away all over," Noel said.
The end was clear for McKinney as he watched Noel rack up a big turnout in the Cobb County precincts. Meanwhile, turnout in the Atlanta precincts was reportedly light.
The precinct at the Vinings Library had 548 voters Tuesday, a dropoff of just 48 from three weeks earlier. In contrast, the precinct at Usher Middle School in Atlanta had not yet reached 500 just before the polls closed. Three weeks ago, voters cast 798 ballots there.
McKinney said he sent out sound trucks, knocked on doors and urged people to vote.
"I had a good 30-year ride," said McKinney, wearing a Billy McKinney T-shirt and a Cynthia McKinney for Congress ballcap as he nursed an Absolut vodka. "I don't regret anything. Hell, I was going to retire anyway. Take me out or retire me. I'm gonna have a good time."
Among those who came out for McKinney on Tuesday was Roberta Phillips, who has voted for McKinney for as long as she can remember.
"He gave our family our first little dog," Phillips said. "He has a lot of drive; he'll work hard. He's very outspoken. I like that."
Phillips said she was sad to see Cynthia McKinney lose last month. She noted that Billy McKinney is frail and she thinks he used most of his energy helping his daughter to the detriment of his own campaign. "But that's what parents do," she said.
Other Atlanta voters, like Jackie Ross, were ambivalent about McKinney. She was still making up her mind as she walked into her precinct.
"I'm a little disappointed in Billy," she said, citing some of his public statements. "I think he went across the line."
McKinney's pronouncement that "J-E-W-S" had cost Cynthia McKinney her seat was the latest in a long line of intemperate statements.
Tuesday night, McKinney looked like a man who no longer cared if he won or lost. He spent most of his time dancing.
And Maxine Hendrix, who has voted for McKinney in the past, said she voted for Noel this time.
"I think it's time for him to retire," Hendrix said of McKinney. "This other guy is younger. I just want to see how this guy does."
Cobb voters such as Jed Kenna, a money manager who lives in Vinings, came out to vote against McKinney because of his frequent controversial remarks.
"People were immensely motivated to get the son of a gun out of town," said Kenna, outside the Vinings Library. "9/11 has changed things. Extremism is less appropriate.
"[Noel] is a normal, rational fellow -- a big, big contrast to Billy McKinney
290+ million Americans and this idiot is in Congress. SHEESH!
