FYI ping
Yes, Cynthia McKinney is a problem.......But, I'd also worry about the dumb bastards that formed a majority in the district of Georgia that elected her AGAIN!
We have allowed much of the country to fall into the hands of mental migets or worse --- who remain totally unaware they are imbeciles..
Semper Fi
If by "contrarian" he means "idiot", then yes, Cynthia al-Qaeda is a contrarian. As for her views being considered "conventional wisdom," that will be the day pigs fly.
That is what you get when you allow states to carve out the weirdo voter sections. I think that area would vote for a colored hitler if he was running on the DemoRAT Ticket.
Thanks for the ping.
It should be noted that Larry C. (for Clown) Johnson, is also a member of McGovern's "Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity." (I mean, come on. VIPs. How cheesy can you get?)
Johnson has also gone on taxpayer funder Democracy Now! with Tokyo Rose/Amy Goodman. (Which is actually an unfair comparison, for Tokyo Rose.)
These gerrymandered districts would vote for a bowling ball as long as it was black.
Come to think of it a Bowling ball is smarter than McKinney.
Well, he jumped into the Bush-bashing before the election, but the guy's been a snake in the grass long before that. He signed an online petition to free Sami Al-Arian when he was first (finally) arrested, and he's long been the go-to "security expert" for the NY Times, et al -- guaranteed to refute/criticize any decision by the administration.
I think we should classify the CIA as a subversive organization and have done with it.

WOW! Where to begin?
I think it fair to make a statement regarding these individuals and their contentions and allegations. There is so much that I'll restrict my remarks to views philosophical in the hope that one comes to realize that a person of ulterior motivation can put facts together to attribute just whatever they want to ascribe to them. I think they, generally, fall into three major categories and I'll comment on them:
1. The Conspiracy Theorists> Who generally have a common trait in that they are to a greater or lesser degree paranoid regarding those in power. They distrust them and are bent upon attributing clandestine motivations to what they do. NOW! This is not to say that a little paranoia, based on real historical reference/s isn't justifiable, because it's a fact politicians; especially, are NOT among the most savory of individuals. Such distrust must be tempered with reality and a 'Let's take a step back and view this from a wider perspective' mentality. Failing to do so puts one in the category of the fellow who thinks he's being followed. He notices someone that has followed his path for two blocks across an intersection. He abruptly turns, walks towards the subject, pulls a gun and to a startled pedestrian demands..."Why are you following me?" The shocked fellow exclaims "I'm not following you, just happen to be going in the same direction just like the rest of these folks walking by". At this time, in this Nation...we are so politically polarized with two major, distinct beliefs of diametrically opposed attitudes that those on both sides need to be a bit more the pragmatic realist. "Emotion is the fuel for a rush of s__t to the brain" (me).
Can you spell T-R-I-L-A-T-E-R-A-L C-O-M-M-I-S-S-I-O-N ?
2. The Crusaders/Idealists> Cast from a similar mold and a attired from a common bolt of cloth they differ only in how they are attired. The net result is the same though. They perceive a singular factoid to be the preliminary cancerous cell, which if left intact will metasticize and consume us all. With the fervor of a temperance lecturer they focus in on the quarry to the rejection of all knowledge outside their peripheral field of vision and attack. Now, be advised that I'm making generalities herewith and they, by their nature, are inaccurate as they tend to brand all with the same mark. I realize that, but one must also accept how idealistic focus (illustratable by 'Bush hatred' amongst other examples) breeds a very real narrowing of one's intellectual reasoning. When you throw political operatives along with disingebuous politicians and lawyers into the mix you have a bouillabaisse for disaster! The solution, difficult as it may seem, is to take a deep breath and try to view the scenario from the complete opposite perspective, DEVOID of emotional rant. Once gain,"Emotion is the fuel for a rush of sh__ to the brain" (me)
3. The America haters> Of which there is an overabundance. When Bush the First coined the phrase the NEW WORLD ORDER and I first heard it, I literally heard myself think..."What! Are you nuts? You'll come off as a latter day Hitler and an arrogant and pushy ugly American. They won't understand your frame of reference AT ALL." I just COULD NOT believe the sheer ignorance of that remark. Though unspoken it, I firmly belief, became the subliminal image in the minds of the many world-wide, who DON'T KNOW US, and...at home, who DON'T TRUST US (US meaning the government), and the rallying cry for all. Then you have the left-leaning liberals, an offshoot of the '50s Marxist-Leninist Socialist/Communist amalgam whose objective was to use the freedom of our society to destroy us from within. One tool, creatively used by groups like the ACLU, ACP, MOVEON.ORG, et al is to use "personal rights" as a vehicle to literally create a 'tyranny of the minority'. That is to say a society where, bulwarked by judicial activism and sojourns into law changing rather than law interpretation, the individual right is championed at the expense of the MAJORITY. The court rules in favor of whatever minority group (minority opinion in number relative to overall popular opinion) and it becomes the law of the land. In this way the minority has quite effectively forced the majority to abide by what they desire. As is readily seen this is a cauldron of anarchy for when the general public has had enough and the courts have become so out of touch with the needs and wants of the public at large what is left is...VIOLENT REVOLUTION FROM WITHIN. In the history of the world such an event has never occurred, but certain as night follow day...if changes are NOT made to the way the courts function, primarily the USSC, in this society...it is just a matter of time. Decent people will only be pushed so far before they collectively shout 'ENOUGH!' Why? you ask. Simply because...,"Emotion is the fuel for a rush of sh__ to the brain" (me)
I hope this was enlightening.
'Splains all that hot air you guys been having.
Cynthia McKinney....in your guts you know she's nuts!
Holy cow.
Good God.
As I stated yesterday (and before), this same crew that brays about "Bush knew" 9/11 was going to happen and didn't stop it would have led the parade for his impeachment had he had real intelligence (he did not) and tried to thwart it.
There is absolutely zero doubt in my mind they would have claimed he was making it up in order to impose a totalitarian state in his mad quest for power.
I've often cited the rogue elements in these departments but this is getting Twilight Zone-ish seeing the types that have populated the halls of the CIA, for instance. Madmen and women.
That was about the same reaction I had
I saw that cyn, and thought there really is a bigger rogue element out there than we'd originally thought. Aided and abetted by the CIA and others.
ping.
We have "allowed" nothing of the sort. The imbeciles and their handlers still outnumber us.
Thanks for the ping!
