Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) is indulging the paranoid style in American politics. Again.

The select House Committee investigating the federal response to Hurricane Katrina on Tuesday, December 6, listened to a plethora of racially-motivated kooky conspiracy theories not heard since the nadir of the “militia movement” in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing of April 19, 1995. Back then, the House Judiciary Committee’s “Waco hearings” chaired by Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry J. Hyde, R-Ill. provided a forum for “disgruntled” citizens. “Militiamen” were encouraged to air their paranoid delusions that included these memorable allegations: U.N. forces were poised to invade America; reports of nighttime Blackhawk helicopter flights; Gurkha troops training in the Montana wilds (see U.N take-over plan); the Waco raid as a rehearsal for a federal plan of nationwide gun confiscation; and as was reported in Time (May 1, 1995), John Trochmann, cofounder of the Militia of Montana, claimed the federal government was

“secretly building concentration camps and … planning nine zones to replace the lower 48 states –a partition plan that …[according to Trochmann] was spelled out in an illustration on the back of Kix cereal boxes last year [1994]… .”

Why is anyone paying attention to what that
MOONBAT is saying?

I have heard this person speak -- she is an absolute moron, like many libs. Again, another example of the human debris that can and does get elected to the Congress of this country. Totally frightening.

Some people should be executed for theft of air.

Does anybody remember when she lost her election and her father blamed "the jews" for her loss?

It was a pretty scary rant.

what is really frightening is that last year I had to work in her district. LOL Also living in suburban Atlanta we have learned to tune her out.

The chief EXAMPLE OF Tuesday’s study in illiteracy, paranoia and race-baiting was Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D.) .

Conspiracy kooks on BOTH sides of the isle are morons. Not just that, but they are intellectually dishonest, and should NOT be included in any rational debate. They are the lowest form of human thinker there is.

A few things:

• Henry Hyde did not chair the Waco hearings
• I don't recall any militiamen testifying
• The Waco hearings dealt with genuine government wrong doing, whereas these hearings are about a natural disaster (i.e Katrina)

I think this person suffers from Bill O'Reilly syndrome...saying stupid things as a result of trying too hard to be "balanced."
