By the looks of it...

For those of us who've been following Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) a/k/a "Jihad Cindy" (not to be confused with Jihad Cindy #2, Cindy Sheehan), her assault on a Capitol Police officer (she punched him) is no surprise. Nor is her race-card playing. It's par for the course.
To revisit my 2001 column on Jihad Cindy:
McKinney has a strong record of hating America. During the recent U.N. World Conference Against Racism, she joined the Arab world . . . and Third World republics in attacking the U.S. While there (and overseas--the conference was in Africa), in pushing for slavery reparations, McKinney said the White House is "just full of latent racists."
Bill Clinton was in the White House then, FYI.
Just after 9/11, when extremist billionaire and Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Al-Saud offered New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani $10 million if the U.S. would change it's policy in Israel, morally excusing the murder of 3,000 Americans, Jihad Cindy wrote the Prince a Letter. In it, she chastised Giuliani for denying the Prince's right to speak (he didn't). Then she wrote that a baby born in Asia has a much better life than a Black baby born in the U.S. More from my column:
"Your Royal Highness, the state of Black America is not good." McKinney wrote, "There are many people in America who desperately need your generosity," making the false assertion that a black baby born in Harlem has a worse life expectancy than one born in Bangladesh.
Remember, this was days after 9/11, and Jihad Cindy is attacking our country to a high-ranking Prince (his uncle was Saudi King Fahd) of the country from where 15 of the hijackers emanated.
Speaking of 9/11, McKinney is all about the tin-foil theories of who is behind the attacks, and she held House hearings on it. Hint: She doesn't think it's Al-Qaeda. But when it came to real investigation, when former FBI Counter-terrorism Director Oliver "Buck" Revell wanted to show minutes of a documentary on Islamic terrorists in America, she balked and protested.
Then there's Jihad Cindy's obsession with defending Black Panther cop killers. Not to mention her close association with the Nation of Islam's loony leader Louis Farrakhan, who sent his top lieutenants to run her failed 2002 campaign.
When my good friend, John Mitnick, now a White House counsel, ran against Jihad Cindy in 1996, she and her father used anti-Semitic statements about him, referring to him as "that racist Jew." (They made similar statements when McKinney was defeated in a Democratic primary in 2002.)
So it's no surprise that she employed and then had to fire Rayed Tayeh, a former employee of a HAMAS front-group when he wrote a letter to the editor of a Capitol Hill newspaper, accusing Jewish Congressmen of being disloyal to America. Tayeh went on to lead the Muslim boycott of Starbucks for the crime of having a Jewish CEO. (I debated him on FOX News' "O'Reilly Factor" and MSNBC's "Hardball" on the topic.)
That's Jihad Cindy in a nutshell. So, the latest assault on law and order by this nutty Congresswoman should be no surprise.
The surprise is that she continues to be a respected member of the Democratic Party and House Democratic Caucus. In my column, I wrote that Jihad Cindy is the modern-day Hanoi Jane. But I was wrong.
Jane Fonda was only in film. Jihad Cindy is far worse: She's a Member of Congress.
What a great country! Our government even provides comic relief.
In fact, anywhere you grab Cindy, you've grabbed the biggest boob and biggest ass in Congress.
If there were ever a reason to impose term limits on elected officials, Cynthia McKinney comes in at number one with a bullet.
Her behavior reminds me of every junkie I ever knew. The woman is into serious drug use in my opinion.
There are no democrats in Bangladesh. Drug gangs rule the streets of Harlem, most of them populated by blacks. New York is a 'blue state' run by democrats and unions for decades.
Maybe Ms. McKinney has a point. I say to her, "Physician, heal thyself."
[she continues to be a respected member of the Democratic Party and House Democratic Caucus.]
I agree with everything Debbie Schlussel said in her article except Cynthia be respected. Not one House member has supported her on this.
By the looks of it...
But then again...maybe they like being "represented" by a lunitic.
I think she won because her competition sought the Senate...and left the House open.
Is anyone running against this dolt in November?
Cynthia McKinney belongs on a tacky reality show, not in the halls of Congress.
From the look on her face,I'd say someone just held up a big bag of crack in the back of the room.
lol...how dare you insult tacky reality shows by comparing them with the House.
I saw McKinney on TV today. She was backed-up by Ramsey Clark. It was a herd of commies!
Cynthia McKinney's complete list of campaign donors
There are more middle-eastern names on this list than you can shake a stick at.
As usual, Debbie Schlussel hits the nail on the head.
McKinney is rabidly anti-American, and stupid besides.
Comparing kids in Bangladesh to American black kids?? Go to any inner city school in the USA. 60% of the black kids are overweight from eating too much rich food.
The Bangladeshi kids could live for a month on the calories our kids consume in one day.
