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. "The issue is racial profiling," McKinney, who is black, told CNN Monday.

Maybe if she acted a bit more like a member of Congress, they wouldn't have such a hard time recognizing her as one. Funny how I don't hear other black members of Congress rushing to corroborate her story that the Capitol police engage in racial profiling, selectively mistreating black members of Congress.

"The issue is racial profiling."

Seems to me it's more an issue of short-tempered arrogance.

We tried to get White Entertainment Television but people kept confusing it with a porn channel...<.flame suit on>.

[What members of black organizations are there to *better* the *conditions* of black people? Why are organizations needed to do this job?]

Because many are not doing it themselves. It seems that many blacks could use the help of some organizations when over 70% of births are out of wedlock.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

There are a few very powerful black organizations designed to *help* those *less fortunate*. Have they helped? Seems to me the organizations keep a larger percentage 'down' rather than lifting them up. I'd love to see proof/source of these organizations actually making a difference.

You say there are some serious incidents of racism in this country - the problem is that the majority of the racism is black on white and not the other way around. Until the MSM stops trying to pretend that this isn't the case, idiots like CYNTHIA are going to wave the racism flag around every time they perceive themselves as not being treated "special."

[PeteB570]

Why do blacks have to claim responsibility for anything they do? They have the D-rats to make excesses for them.

This reaction from the dim's, is a little more than their bogus campaign on national security, it is also about their their bogus campaign on 'Culture of Corruption' they are cranking up, because she is admitted law breaker, a racist towards both Whites and Jews and an unstable woman representing their party.

They back her now and it's as good saying "She's one of us and we stand behind her". Right now all she's got is two avowed Socialist actors and that will not be enough to get her out of this assault and battery charge.

[JustaCowgirl]

That's a buzzword she specifically picked to inflame the situation, IMO. I've never heard police grabbing a suspect being called "inappropirate touching." I always thought that meant something sexual.

She's strongly implying that it was sexual. Just a guess, but I suspect that officer wouldn't touch her sexually if she were the last woman on earth.

[RetSignman]

Yup, just like the dim's promises to help minorities, going on 60 years and what have they done.

[Christopher Lincoln]

I reluctantly agree, in this case. The resolution only supports McKinney's claim that the prosecution (if any) is politically motivated.

[Howlin]

That's what I thought as soon as she said it; my next thought was "They'll get her for that."

I hope they do.

[JCEccles]

I completely disagree. The RNC is shrewdly keeping the issue alive by forcing the MSM to pay attention to it. The longer the Democrats have to deal with it, the less focused and more inefficient will be the message they want to project.

Pelosi wishes everyone would just shut up and let the issue die. The RNC needs to keep poking the bear through the bars of the cage with a stick from time to time to keep it riled up and everyone's attention fixed on it.

[JustaCowgirl]

That's what I thought as soon as she said it; my next thought was "They'll get her for that."

I hope they do.

Me too. There has to be SOME personal accountability for one's behavior even in that group.

She is a spoiled arrogant brat who thinks she's entitled to do and say whatever she wants to, and to display her anger however she feels like. And everyone else be damned.

[PeskyOne]

I agree. If the RNC or Republicans don't keep the issue alive the Democrats and the MSM will sweep it under the rug. I believe lawyers for 18 news organizations —including ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, The Associated Press, The New York Times and The Washington Post — filed a brief backing Jim McDermott in what has proved to be an illegal act by McDermott. That should tell everyone how biased the media is in favor of Democrats. The New York Times even used this headline to describe the McKinney scandal: " Congresswoman Accuses Capitol Police Officer of Racial Bias"...should have said she attacked the officer!
