McKinney has drawn little support from her House colleagues, particularly Democrats who are launching an election-year campaign that revolves around the party's commitment to national security.

Life is so unfair. It had to happen in an election year, po' Cyn'.

Mckinney could have defuseed the incident by apologizing to the officer. But no, she had to play the race card.
Gotta love that "GOP culture of corruption".

I am so tried of every time a black person gets in trouble they claim racism and other blacks stick up for them no matter what they do. I have mo sympathy for them at all.
It's time for them to take responsibility for their actions and learn to get along with the rest of the people in this country. If they can't and they think they are so special, then they should move to Africa where they can drop the American part and just call themselves African.
They are no more special than anyone else so, stop WHINING and learn to get along or leave.

as soon as the "investigation" ends, the tape(s) will be subject to FOIA, unless charges are actually filed.

It is interesting that not one single member of the Congressional Black Caucus has come forward to support her. I guess they think she's nuts too.

The Republicans are a bunch of dummies. They don't know when to keep their mouths shut and let the Dems do the talking. This is certainly an occasion when that would be smart policy.
To: NormsRevenge
If that biatch is going to whine this much over an "inappropriate touching", then next time, "inapropriately-whack-her-over-her-empty-noggin-with-a-billy-club", and make it worth watching her play the race card.

The issue is racial.
Blacks are realizing they are losing their status as the majority minority.
Expect more of these outbursts in an attempt to re-charge the plantation before Jose takes it away.

From December 2002:
[Fmr. Rep Cass] Ballenger, of Hickory, said he felt similar sentiments dealing with Rep. Cynthia McKinney, a Georgia Democrat known for her liberal politics and combative personality.
"If I had to listen to her, I probably would have developed a little bit of a segregationist feeling," he said. "But I think everybody can look at my life and what I've done and say that's not true. ... I mean, she was such a bitch."
McKinney, who lost her re-election bid, could not be reached.

How can anyone defend her actions. What an idiot!
To: jazusamo

I do applaud them for that. There are some serious incidents of racism in this country...and this isn't one of them. By validating her "complaints" they would be doing a disservice to those that are truly victims.

Her lawyers have said that a series of confrontations between McKinney and U.S. Capitol and White House law enforcement officers who don't recognize her points to a pattern.
Yes, a pattern of not wearing her proper Identification.
She expects people to remember over 500 faces in an instant but she does not expect herself to remember to wear a pin that ID's her in order to avoid conflicts she had in the past???????
Sounds like do as I say rather than do as I do.
I hope to see her charged and covicted because if I hit a cop I know I would be charged and convicted.
