I really want the video of the altercation to be released. Let us see with our own eyes who did what to whom.

Is she trying to insinuate he was sexually harrassing her? LOL That's how the "statement" reads.

Throw her cop assaulting butt in jail.

“Ms. McKinney is just a victim of being in Congress while black.”

While black? Is this optional? Like did she turn black while in Congress?

[Amelia]

Members of Congress routinely wear a lapel pin identifying them as a legislator, permitting them to circumvent the security checkpoints in and around Capitol Hill. McKinney was not wearing her pin at the time, and the Capitol police officer did not recognize her.

There are 435 representatives (not to mention 100 senators) and McKinney expects the security guards to recognize them all? She needs to follow procedures; i.e., wear her pin, if she expects to be "recognized" and not asked for identification.

I'm from Georgia, and I didn't recognize her immediately with the new hairdo - and I don't think it's nearly as flattering as the way she used to wear it.

BTTT!

“Ms. McKinney is just a victim of being in Congress while black.”

In a way, she's right. We wouldn't be pounding so hard on her if she wasn't playing the black card in every situation long before this.

If this had happened to some non-descript Congressman from Nebraska, we wouldn't be talking about it much.

But she's black, and we know that because she reminds us of that every time she opens her flippin' racist mouth.

So she's either a) the victim of being black or, b) a racist loudmouth who brought this on herself.

Cast your vote.

Maybe she just realized she's part of the #3 minority and needed some attention.

[MaDeuce]

Nothing will happen to her at all. In fact the only one who will be sweating it out is the police officer.

He is probably looking at a career ending incident for him. If he is lucky he'll still have somewhat of a pension left after he is fired. At worst, he will be financially ruined trying to fight off civil rights and sexual harassment charges in court.

If she can't remember to wear her 'pin', maybe they could get her a chip like they use to find lost dogs?

Anyone who wants to let Ms. McKinney know how they feel about her discriminatory sexist, racist remarks can do so at http://www.house.gov/mckinney/guest.htm.

Just trying to help us all get along! :)

It's the hairdo. She looks as if she escaped from the looney bin.

CINDY JIHAD HAS BEEN MEMORIALIZED IN SONG

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.
