McKinney Says Ads Aren't Negative

Atlanta (AP) -- U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney said her radio campaign ad comparing her challenger to an angry, out-of-control cop is not an unfair attack ad because it targets the judicial record that the opponent has touted in her own ads.

Campaign manager Bill Banks said the radio spots, which accuse former DeKalb County judge Denise Majette of abusing her authority, are not negative.

Banks said in a number of cases, Majette's record indicates she took actions that were harsh and vindictive.

He said, "What we're trying to do is get people's attention to her abuse of power."

McKinney's campaign referred to a 1998 case in which Majette sentenced a woman who had been convicted of speeding in a jury trial to two days in jail and fined her one-thousand dollars. The sentence was later vacated by a higher court.

The ad says, "Abuse of power is sometimes an angry, out-of-control cop beating up a teenager in California. Sometimes it's an angry, out-of-control judge like Denise Majette."

Majette spokesman Bob Doyle said McKinney's charges are exactly the sort of over-the-top comments that people have come to expect from Cynthia McKinney.

Doyle said, "She divides, practices slash-and-burn politics and sacrifices her credibility in Washington. That's why Denise is running."

Davis did, not Hilliard, and not only did Davis knock out an incumbent, but he did it decisively. I don't think Hilliard (who had some serious ethics committee problems, plus that trip to Libya) has even conceded. Hilliard had a sea of Muslim money coming in, pushed by CAIR--and Davis had a sea of Jewish money coming in. But that wasn't what won the election for Davis. Davis went door to door in the district with community leaders. Hilliard's idea of campaigning was to bring in--GET THIS--Al Sharpton. Yes, he brought Al Sharpton to campaign for him in Alabama.

McKinney seems to be making the same mistakes as Hilliard, and that's fine by me. CAIR is also pushing for donations to McKinney's campaign, and I found that from previous threads on her. What with her ties to the Nation of Islam (she writes a guest column for Final Call), and has accepted campaign donations from Abdurahman Alamoudi and some of his friends, from this thread (and I'll dig out the other links, if you need them).

When Abdurahman Alamoudi, friend and sometime adviser on Islamic affairs to Hillary Rodham Clinton, stood before a Muslim crowd in Lafayette Park across from the White House this week and passionately declared his support for the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah, he was revealing the true face of "moderate" Islam. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/722854/posts?page=20#20

Here are the McKinney files. The first link takes you to her donors. Prepare yourself to be shocked.

Especially since she knows that not only has the majority
of the 4th district has favored her in years past, but
she also knows that many of the Dunwoodians will not
even bother to go out to vote this November, preferring
to stay on the tennis courts, fundraisers, and gala
functions.

Ms. McKinney being a representative of the third world,
understands the nature of Swidden Politics.
Only problem is you can't reap for too long.

Bye Bye Cynnnnnnnnnnthia.
