Black Minister Calls for Prosecution of Cynthia McKinney; Rev. Peterson Says McKinney Using Claims of ‘Racism’ to Stop Charges

LOS ANGELES – On March 29 Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) struck a police officer who attempted to stop her when she entered a House office building without proper identification. According to witnesses, McKinney three times ignored Capitol Police orders to stop at a security checkpoint. Rep. McKinney later held a press conference with her attorney and supporters where she accused the Capitol Police of “racism” and of “racially profiling” her. Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND (Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny) issued the following statement regarding this matter:

“This situation is an example of a black liberal Democrat using allegations of racism in order to get away with breaking the law. It’s disgraceful that Cynthia McKinney would charge the Capitol Police with racism for trying to do their jobs. Charges of ‘racism’ and ‘racial profiling’ by McKinney and her attorney are code words often used to intimidate white Americans and get black racists off the hook.

McKinney could have easily defused this situation by apologizing for not having proper identification and for attacking the officer; instead, she held a press conference flanked by known racists such as Harry Belafonte, Danny Glover, and members of the NAACP. The real racists here are Cynthia McKinney and her racially divisive supporters. The U.S. Attorney’s office must vigorously pursue this case regardless of the race, gender, or position of the person involved, in order to send a clear message that this type of racial demagoguery will not thwart justice.”

The Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND) is a nationally respected nonprofit organization founded for the purpose of “rebuilding the family by rebuilding the man.” BOND operates unique programs and services designed to help men and their families. Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson is the author of “SCAM: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America.” For more information visit www.bondinfo.org

Thank you for the ping!
This is no different than if a black cop tried to stop a white congresswoman he didn't recognize, who wore no badge, and she kept on, and kept on, and then she charged he was trying to rape her, and then called for the white folk to lynch him. She is trying to get the black community to lynch this cop who was DOING HIS JOB. How stupid does she think America is, and what year does she think this is? Is she really this baseless, ignorant, cheap? Don't answer that question. I would be mortified if she was my representative. Oh, wait a minute, it's 2006, she is a United States Congresswoman, and I am mortifingly (is that a word?) embarassed. She is nothing but a pole dancer for the left.

Leave it Revrend Jesse Lee Peterson to stand up for what's right and not what's popular. Cynthia McKinney is a wacked out loon bat with no sense of shame. I know Jesse will be attacked for speaking out against the race card dealers. The NAAOBCP "The National Association for Advancement of Oversensitive Brainwashed Colored People" formely the NAACP was once a prominate force in the civil rights movement forty years ago. Today it's just a pathetic holding pin for the democrat party.

What happened to the articles that SHOULD have come out by editors and Opt-Eds like the one that came out from ALANTA ?

If anyone caught it--didn't the editor of that home town paper even state,"..all that should have happened was for McKinney to STOP!..hold out her hand to shake the Police Officer and say,"..Hello..my name is Congresswoman McKinney from the Great State of Georgia and I am glad that you are doing you Great Job Securing our Buildings..and I am sorry if I rushed by before I introduced myself..from now on I hope that you recogonze me as I am sure that next Time I will also remember to Have my ID with me and be wearing the appropriate IDs "...She WOULD have made a Friend for LIFE then..let alone set an example of how much SHE and HER PARTY are concerned about National Security too!...."

I guess that even if this Editor was from her OWN state..they will still call the article Racist and Bigoted.

"Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) struck a police officer who attempted to stop her when she entered a House office building without proper identification"

??? This is not the way I heard it. I had heard that police yanked her out of her vehicle and the supposed attack was just her reaction. Was there a previous "incident" in her car?

The article you linked explained what happened in the capitol building. He stopped her as she walked around a metal detector, wasn't wearing her congressional pin or other identification.

Hi A2 - Jesse sees right through Cynthia's race card! She was wrong, and she knows it. I don't see too many people jumping to her defense, either.

Thanks for looking- I don't know which is more appalling- her bigotry, or the Tired Old Media's lapdog pandering to her.

It's an embarassment.

The fact nearly a week has gone by since the incident and no indictment, or arrest warrant, has been issued to Rep. Cynthia McKinney tells me this is probably going nowhere ... McKinney walks without so much as a slap on the wrist.
