The poor racist hag was born without a brain, loyalty to the United States of America, or a sense of common decency. Give her a break you guys!
Too bad the guard didn't get to Taze her. I would have paid to see that...
One of my many duties is to oversee a security operation for an industrial facility of about 600 employees. When I first took over the job, the guard had no effective means to check IDs or stop traffic. He was just expected to wave in all the employees because he "knew everybody".
Well, after observing operations for about an hour, it because clear that he was just waving in everybody. When I asked why, he said that he did not have time to recognize each person, and by the time he tried to stop anybody, they were already past him. I could have replaced him with a mechanical dummy with a waving arm and gotten just as much security.
I spent a couple of bucks and bought a card reader system and lift arm for the front gate. Now it was possible for the guard to check ID on each vehicle prior to opening the gate. In other words, it made it possible for him to do his job.
Now came the hard part. Now I had to convince 600 employees that they now had to stop and have their IDs checked, after they had been blowing through the front gate for the past 10 years. It took a lot of yelling and screaming, and I had to replace the wooden gate about 20 times, but eventually I got compliance. I had to transfer my normal daytime security crew to another site for a month, but eventually everybody accepted the new system.
But every now and then I get some damn VIP who insists on having a special arrangement so they don't have to produce the ID badge. As soon as this happens, things start falling apart again, because the guard starts "recognizing" his regulars and punching the gate to speed things up. So I have to fight to good fight, and tell people ten steps above my pay grade that they have to follow the rules, just like the little people. I gotta tell you, that makes for some pretty uncomfortable conversations.
I can only imagine what the Capitol Police have to go through, with 535 Prima Donnas running around, and that's before you even get to the AHs who populate their staffs. My heart really goes out to those guys.
I you have one rule for everybody, you have a working system. If you have five different rules for five different classes of people, you got nuthin. But if anything every happened, and security broke down on Capitol Hill, you just know it would be the idiots like Cynthia McKinney bellowing the loudest about "How could this have happened!?!"
BTW, do you think it is a Federal crime for one of the Little People to wear a similar pin?
She IS hired help. Just as all lawmakers are. They are 'hired' by the people of the US when they are elected.
These elitists always seem to forget who works for whom.
"Earlier today I had an unfortunate confrontation with a Capitol Hill Police Officer. It is traditional protocol that Capitol Hill Police Officers secure 535 Members of Congress, including 100 Senators. It is the expectation of most Members of Congress that Capitol Hill Police officers know who they are. I was urgently trying to get to an important meeting on time to fulfill my obligations to my constituents. Unfortunately, the Police Officer did not recognize me as a Member of Congress and a confrontation ensued. I did not have on my Congressional pin but showed the Police Officer my Congressional ID.
"I know that Capitol Hill Police are securing our safety, that of thousands of others, and I appreciate the work that they do. I deeply regret that the incident occurred. I have demonstrated my support for them in the past and I continue to support them now."

What is it she is saying about the hired help at the Clinton White House?
Ehhh - regret? I dunno, sounds like Cynthia is Stuck On Stupid to me...
Cynthia is scheduled to speak at a big PEACE rally in Atlanta on Saturday. Wonder if she'll show.
You could probably sell the Pay-Per-View rights to that for $10,000,000 in Georgia alone...

LOL this is the NYSlime coverage. (Tape? What tape? That ain't news)
That's the headline on the main page that takes you to the article. I guess the AJC is trying to smooth things over for her.
Peace, huh? Sounds like she puts the 'fist' in pacifist to me...
wait a minute. isn't she a 'servant of the people'?!
Cynthia McKinney + peace ????
what a joke!
Showed her ID before, or after she slapped/punched him? So, it took less time to punch the guy than it would have to just wear the pin so he could easily identify her? That makes sense. I still don't see where she regrets hitting him.
check for moonbats in that head of hair!
"How she got re-elected by DeKalb County residents is beyond me."
Anyone know where the King County, Wa. voting machines are?
