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

To me, this doesn't bode well for the law and order we are expecting to see.
If this were Tom Delay stopped on the House steps under the same circumstances, the most minute details would have been broadcast around the world in two minutes.
Something is starting to smell rank.

It doesn't say much about her constituents. Her constituents are the black KKK who encourage her to dance around the socialist May pole.
I wonder what her parents and grandparents think.
Molon Labe and good morning to you abigail!
