Is her appointment calendar part of the public record also. Where did she go on 9 -11 and who did she spend time with?

[Whilom]

Chowdhry is not a Muslim name. It's Bengali Hindu.

[ml/nj]

Can we be sure that the claims of the two to be pilots and/or employees of Southwest Airlines are correct, or, for that matter, that their claims to be doctors are correct?

Look. You ask me a bunch of questions in several different messages. I don't pretend to know anything about how this data is gathered, except that it's done by the government. The contributors probably are required to fill out some sort of form, then some clerk enters the data, and some Database Administrator maintains it. It's probably a crime to falsify the data, and there almost certainly is false data (Buddhist Temples anyone?), but there aren't many prosecutions.

[Trust but Verify]

I noticed that, too. It's like she held a fundraiser on that day. I'd love to know if she did, that bi-atch!

[hoosiermama]

Again,does anyone know how to check her schedule for the day. Is it public record too? How did she meet people from Los Vegas on that day?
Could the checks have been collected the day before and posted on that day? Are the checks dated for the eleventh?
Anyone in her district want to ask some questions to the local Federal authorities? Seems like they might be interested!

[Trust but Verify]

I'm blundering around the net but haven't found what I'm looking for yet.....

[aristeides]

What I suspect happened is that CAIR and/or other Moslem organizations, scared after 9/11 happened, immediately phoned around to drum up as many contributions to McKinney as possible. Maybe they just wanted to ensure her loyalty. But I'd be interested to know if the donations were what persuaded her to hire Tayeh for her staff. He was hired at some point in the month of September 2001. Maybe the Moslems wanted to ensure they had a staffer they could count on.

[antivenom]

Don't forget Cynthia was in Africa rubbing elbows with the muslims a week before the attack. She was at the UN race conference...she is a known sympathizer.

[hoosiermama]

Have you seen this? Know anyone who might be interested in developing the story?

[cgk]

It's time for you to grow up, cgk.

Because I asked you to back up your claims, or your suspicions, I need to grow up. How about we just stick with the subject and lose the insulting comments.

There's all sorts of disinformation out there. E.g. There were all sorts of wild things repeated about Vince Foster, that he was a Mosaad agent, that he was involved in some sort of intrigue with nefarious companies. The people who repeated this nonsense also said some things that were true but it all got discredited along with the nonsense. (Find out sometime why Rush mostly stopped talking about Foster. It isn't because he doesn't suspect foul play.) And if you believe Vince Foster committed suicide, I have a bridge you might be interested in buying.

I'm not sure how you equate whispers of Foster being an Israeli spy to F.E.C. data showing the dates of Islamic contributions made to Cynthia McKinney. (And no, I don't think Vince Foster committed suicide.)

You may call my charges, if that's what they are, "baseless." I think I have provided some basis for them. And I also provided a point-by-point answer to your previous criticism of what I wrote. Why don't we let the Peanut Gallery decide?

The Peanut Gallery seems to have spoken. The basis you've provided for your charges haven't prove a thing, except your own skepticism of the information (which you had already made clear with your first response).

BTW, my degrees are in Math, and I scored really high on my Math SAT, before they dumbed down the scores for you younger folk. Do you have credentials and experience, or just feelings?

I don't recall asking for your resume, or your SAT scores.

I never claimed that the FEC was "intentionally manipulating data." They report what is given to them, and then are subject like anyone else to neerdowells who might alter the data once they are in place.

Your theory only holds water if someone is manipulating data. So who is it? Forget about evidence, do you even have a theory as to who's doing it or why?

[yoe]

Cynthia McKinney is one bad American! Who the heck elected her? Just because she is black? Georgians have to be smarter than to elect a subversive non-American...rise up you people and elect true Americans.

Like Madeline Albright chasing Arafat when he declined to stay at a U. N. meeting, the same picture can be drawn about Cynthia McKinney when she wrote Prince Alwaleed bin Talal after then Mayor Giuliani returned his check for $10,000, she asked for it; what a disgrace she is to all Americans!

[purkinje]

I live in Las Vegas and practice medicine here. I loathe Cynthia McKinney and was surprised to see the list of Las Vegas contributors to her. I know most of the "donors" and they are indeed physicians. ie; Osama Haikal is an Egyptian. He practices gastroenterology and is well respected. He is in practice with Richard Yeh, Michael Zimmerman, and Toussif Pasha. He is a prominent member of the local Islamic community and runs the local Islamisc center. He has lived here at least 13 years. Bashir Chowdhry is a cardiothoracic surgeon. He has lived here perhaps 20 years. He is in solo practice and to my knowledge comes from Pakistan. Khaliq Baig is an internist who came about 6-8 years ago from Pakistan. His wife is a physician a psychiatrist. They appear to be observant muslims. Sayed Qazi is from Pakistan. I believe he arrived in the last five years. I thiink he's an internist. Waseem Ahmed is indeed a pulmonologist of relatively recent import. I don't know how these guys are involved with Cynthia McKinney incorporated. Perhaps she hosted a local fund raiser or alternatively the local Islamic PAC put out a request for money. I do not know of any gossip or rumor connecting these guys with anything. I have never discussed politics with any of them, on the other hand, Dr. Haikal has participated on public forums with my Rabbi.

[Alamo-Girl]

I never really thought anyone would be concerned about her outside of her own congressional district. Sigh...

This thread is a great start for a dossier!

[cgk]

I had to stop using the insulting term "pig" also. Probably due to my fondness for the movie "Babe." My new favorite is "jacka$$".

Glad to see you pinged all the folks who FReeped the Cynthia McKinney Veterans Town Hall meeting!!! Let's connect the dots folks!

This info is nothing new here in Atlanta. The local talk show host (Neal Boortz), who has a huge national audience, has been talking about the list of doners for months. Everyone knows about it but somehow McKinney seems to be getting away with it. Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that everyone is afraid to accuse her and then be proptly labeled a racist. I know this first hand as we Freepers were all called racist-natzis last Saturday for daring to question her motives for the verterans town hall meeting.

[Saundra Duffy]

They love her; they really love her.

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

Cynthia McKinney is one bad American! Who the heck elected her?

I'll tell you who elected her....... Her district is a wildly drawn, gerimanderd, map that wiggles and squiggles along the black populated areas. I think that it has been redrawn several times but always manages to pick up enough black vote to insure her re-election. She and her daddy (an ex sheriff and state legislature representative) have a well-oiled "machine" operating.

"I had to stop using the insulting term "pig" also. Probably due to my fondness for the movie "Babe." My new favorite is "jacka$$"".

OK, How about "RAT"......... that applies?

[Lion's Cub]

Thanks for the ping- a most interesting thread.

Atta stopped in Las Vegas a few times

You are correct. So did McVeigh.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I never really thought anyone would be concerned about her outside of her own congressional district. Sigh...

Sometime when you have a few spare minutes, log onto the FEC website and do a search for the campaign reports for a few congress critters. I think you'll be shocked - I think it's safe to say that MOST all congress critters receive a LOT of money from outside their own districts - BIG money, especially if they're front benchers and not back benchers.
