The picture with her in the orange dress looks a lot different than the other pictures. It's not the hair-do, it's the weight. Is this picture really her? Has she been doing Atkins, or what?

It's over. She's dead Jim. The rest of the racebaiters aren't supporting her.

April 6, 2006 Lewis advises McKinney to stop

Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a civil-rights pioneer and the senior member of the Georgia Democratic congressional delegation, told Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) to stop making political hay out of her scuffle a week ago with a U.S. Capitol Police officer.

“I told her she needs to lower the temperature and stop holding the press conferences,” Lewis said, recounting his conversation with McKinney on the House floor yesterday. “I don’t think it had any impact because she is still going on all the TV shows.”

Lewis said other members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) had also told McKinney to back off, adding that she had little support in the group. It held an emergency meeting last night to discuss the issue, a House source said.

Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) told Human Events on Tuesday that he would consider filing an ethics complaint against McKinney if nobody else did. Yesterday he said he would monitor how law-enforcement authorities deal with the matter.

Witness to McKinney Capitol Hill Incident Called Before Grand Jury Today

http://www.nysun.com/article/30531

An aide to Rep. Sam Farr, a Democrat of California, will testify today as part of an investigation aimed at determining whether Rep. Cynthia McKinney, a Democrat of Georgia, will face charges for allegedly hitting a Capitol police officer on the chest while entering Washington's Longworth House Office Building, according to Fox News.

A second congressional staff aide, whose name is being kept confidential, had also been called to testify, indicating that the U.S. attorney's office is convening a grand jury to establish whether Ms. McKinney should be prosecuted, the network reported.

Nancy Pelosi was quoted as saying something NOT in favor of McKinney either.

Morning charrisGOP,
mckinney is not acting, that is her true persona in life.

Gerrymandering gave Jojah(Georiga) the illustrious racist, wild-eyed mcKinney.

Sally says, she never met a Honkey that did't need bitch slapping, coupled with a "BET" attitude adjustment.(satire)

The fool mckinney does not represent the pariotic Black Americans, who love our country and for what it stands.

Why should "Black Folk" be any more, or less, ashamed of this horrible excuse for a human than any other American?

I offer up this parody that McKinney can do at the next Gridiron Dinner (fat chance). A nod to Peggy Lee's ''I'm a Woman'':

Well, I can cuss out a white cop,
Slap him upside the face,
Then have my people stand by me
When I blame it all on race
Cause I’m a woman (a black one),
W-O-M-A-N.

Well, I can rip off this old House and ain’t no one gonna beef;
Rag my staff, dis Pelosi, play the queen, and never get no grief.
I got a caucus says there’s nothin’ I can’t do.
I can make a scene outta diddly and I can make fools outta you

Cause I’m a woman (a black one)
W-O-M-A-N

Mr. Lewis knows the CBC is going down becasue it is racist to the core. They are utterly useless and are fully supportive of the vermin and scum such as Cynthia McKinny and the Democrat "Slavery" Party that has held Blacks in economic and opportunity bondage for over fifty years. Methinks, the majority of Black Americans are beginning to see the picture.

Interesting story:

My ex wife (who is white) decided to do some volunteer work for the NAACP a few years back.

She worked there for a few months and then quit.

I asked her what had happened and she said "It's unbelievable but the people I met are more racist than anyone I have ever known!"

But, it is not a total victory, because I am sure the DC Grand Jury will let her off instead of prosecuting her.

Can she be kicked out of Congress or once you're in until voted out? Can a petition get started to get her out?

What's fascinating about this is that John Lewis is about as liberal as they get in Congress, but he's got an interesting background. He himself knew what it was like to get severely roughed up by police officers during civil rights marches in the South back in the early 1960s, so I suspect he finds Cynthia McKinney's "victim" act here utterly repulsive.
