MCKINNEY It doesn't look like the latest Cynthia McKinney mess is going to go away any time soon. Today's Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that the Capitol Hill police have notified the federal prosecutor's office in Washington that they are going to seek an arrest warrant for McKinney next week. OK, Now I've seen Cynthia McKinney's new hairstyle. There is just no other way to say this. It's just hideous. She looks like ghetto trash. Get a braider over there ... quick! Nobody with a modicum of self-respect would go around looking like that. And don't give me any stuff for saying this. I've endured years of "bald" remarks. I'm entitled. Now we're hearing reports from others on Capitol Hill that Cynthia McKinney has a reputation for treating people whom she considers beneath her status with disdain ... and especially white people whom she considers to be beneath her. One former staff member on the House International Relations committee, Richard Stafford, is now talking about an incident where McKinney struck him and pushed him aside when he tried to stop her from entering a closed-door, members-only meeting with a friend and two small children. He wanted to press charges then, but figured it would end his career.
It's interesting to note that McKinney issued two statements yesterday. The first statement, which you can read here, shows McKinney's arrogant and hot-headed side. This is the McKinney who evidently has a habit of striking people, especially white people, who get in her way. In the first statement McKinney says that Capitol Hill Police are "required" to recognize members of congress. Wrong ... that is not so. There is no requirement that they recognize members of congress. If such a requirement existed then there would be no need for ID cards. These Capitol Hill Police are there to protect the members, not recognize them. Someone apparently told McKinney that this "poor, poor pitiful black me" routing wasn't playing well, so she issued this second statement in which she merely says that members of congress "expect" (the "require" word is gone) to be recognized, and expressed regrets that the incident occurred. Note, please, that she didn't apologize for hitting the police officer. She just said that she's sorry the whole thing happened. There's a difference there, and those of you who didn't attend government schools might be able to figure it out.
Now ... don't get your hopes up that this is going to have any affect on her reelection chances in November. She's safe. The voters of Georgia's 4th Congressional District know that Cynthia McKinney is considered to be a pariah and somewhat of a clown in the Congress. They know that she is ineffective. This does not matter to them. One McKinney constituent, Andrew Hicks, says "She is a good woman. I will always support her 100 percent." Another, Fred Maxwell is quoted in the AJC as saying "Had she been one of the white persons, they would not have asked her for her ID. I still think the Republicans are trying to get her out of office." So, there you go. It's those white persons again. Damn, they can sure be pesky, can't they?
Skank wackjob lib. Someday, someone she pushes or punches, is going to flatten her. I hope a camera's getting it.
I htink they should prosecute her for assualt and let her stew in jail for a month or two.
They wont of course..but it would be nice.

AND, the good people of 'hotLanta' can't blame her completely on the blacks. The 'hotLanta' demonRAT's must just intimidate the poop out of the rest of the area's intelligent voters.
"Can't we all just get along?" //sarcasm//
I get a whiff of racism and plantation politics going on here. Someone call Jesse Jackson. I am sure he will want to hustle McKinney for cheddah for dissin' a white cop.
Atlanta is a BIG city. Her district is a hell hole.
Just a field negro trying to act like a "house" negro.
Being in the "House" doesnt make it so.
Yeah so its racist. Why not? She is. Blatantly so.
I suspect that the jews are behind this.
Jeez-aloo!! She looks the wild woman of Borneo!!
Any use of the word style seems inappropriate in this case.
She looks like a deer caught in headlights.
And all of this because Denise Majette thought she had a chance at winning the Senate seat. Idiot judge.
Anyone know if Georgia still allows anyone to vote in a political party's primary? I figured they might have closed it after McKinney got beat in 2002.
That would be nice, but the person who hit her back would be also be charged with assault since that is how the law works. You wouldn't want a camera to capture it since that could be used against the person who hit her back, and you know McKinney would use it to her advantage, especially if the person was white.
Give them each a cell phone...just to make it fair.
