In a Friday afternoon news conference, Georgia Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-4th) said that the altercation between she and a Capitol police officer was started by the officer "inappropriately touching and stopping" her after she walked past a security checkpoint.
Prior to the news conference that, at times, seemed more like a church revival meeting, one of McKinney's lawyers, James W. Myart Jr. said that her problems with police are racial in nature.
“Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, like thousands of average Americans across this country, is, too, a victim of the excessive use of force by law enforcement officials because of how she looks and the color of her skin,” Myart said. “Ms. McKinney is just a victim of being in Congress while black.”
McKinney’s office on Thursday afternoon, released a video clip from the independent documentary “American Blackout,” in which McKinney is questioned by a Capitol police officer who does not immediately recognize her. In the clip, she implies that the questioning is because she is black.

LOL! :)
Yep, that would be her.
Thanks Howlin..What a POS she is.
Mike must have been busting a gut writing this with her spewing this garbage.
The idiots who elected McKinney are a prime example of why citizens should have to pass a civics exam before they're allowed anywhere near a voting booth.
She will get away with it and the only reason she will get away with it is because she is black, if she were white she would already be in jail.
The cops should stage a protest. I think Cynthia needs to undergo a drug screening. Her actions suggest substance abuse. I know the critters that run this country are exempt, and maybe that ought to change. Imagine Ted Kennedy's reaction ;-)
Lol! The migrants could probably "act" better, too : )
Hey Ron Dog, for your next FReep in Hollywood, how about a big sign naming all the jerks who said they'd move to France, and ask them why they're still HERE? Heehee : )
Excellent, and saved to my funny pic folder : )
Is it me, or does the Rrrrrreverend bear a resemblance to Bugs Bunny?
I have mixed feelings about that one. Remember the Farm Aid concerts that raised money to keep family farms from being auctioned off?
Some lawyers sell their soul to Satan when they pass the bar exam. Myart, Jr. just might be one of them.
Re#49 LOL. Yep, ignore those pesky, irrelevant facts. Color and gender (oh, she is also "progressive" with the extreme right wing in control) is all that matters. Dontcha know this type of racist action by the police is rampant? ;^)
