Not uncommon with Arabic names. For example, here are the names of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers:
Al-Midhar, Khalid
Alhamzi, Nawaq
Moqed, Majed
Alhamzi, Salem
Hanjour, Hani
Al Suqami, Satam
Alshehri, Waleed M.
Alshehri, Wail
Atta, Mohamed
Alomari, Abdulaziz
Al-Shehhi, Marwan
Ahmed, Fayez
Alghamdi, Ahmed
Alghamdi, Hamza
Alshehri, Mohald
Alghamdi, Saeed
Alhaznawi, Ahmed
Alnami, Ahmed
Jarrahi, Ziad
That's 16 of 19 last names that begin with the letter "A". Obviously, a common occurrence in the world of Arabic names.
I just checked every one of the 9/11/2001 donors and none of them gave to anyone else on that day.
Which is precisely why the focus is on Cynthia McKinney.
I'm beginning to think that my first impression that this cannot be real data might be correct.
The data is a matter of public record, easily verifiable through Federal Election Commission records.
Finally, about that "Pilot" ... he was listed as a doctor on the one other donation he made.
Atif Fareed, the Southwest Airlines pilot, appears only once on this list. He is a very vocal Muslim in the Las Vegas area. His occuption is not in question and can easily be verified ( Las Vegas Weekly: Southwest Airlines Capt. Atif Fareed, a Muslim and 20-year pilot, told nearly 60 onlookers in the UNLV amphitheater that the mainstream media must think more critically (of the U.S.)."
(And curiously another donor, also from NV, was listed as a doctor on the McKinney donation, and as a "Southwest Airlines" employee on the one other donation he made.
Which name? Which list? Unless you're just repeating the above point, which was just refuted.
It sounds like you'd just rather not believe it.
Okay, I see what you're referring to:
FAREED, ATIF HENDERSON, NV 89015 SOUTHWEST AIRLINES/PILOT 9/11/2001 $1,000 McKinney, Cynthia A
FAREED, ATIF A HENDERSON, NV 89015 PHYSICIAN 10/31/2000 $500 Porter, Jon
Being that Mr. Fareed is a pilot of 20 years in his sixties, it's entirely possible he has a son who happens to be a physician. Notice they're distinguished here by the middle intial "A" (there's the letter again). That's certainly a more realistic scenario than any that suggest that this website is just "making things up".
I'll look into it and see if that's the case.

This certainly occurred to me. But I thought there were a reasonable number of Arabic sounding names on the second half of the list. Looking at data is something I'm trained to do, and despite the fact you point out I still question the prima facia validity of the data.
I said: I just checked every one of the 9/11/2001 donors and none of them gave to anyone else on that day.
And you replied: Which is precisely why the focus is on Cynthia McKinney.
Again the data doesn't pass my smell test. Looking over all the supposed 9/11 contributors, I see donations at other times to other Congressmen. It doesn't make any sense that all of these people would donate only to McKinney on 9/11. Why not some others of their "friends" also on 9/11?
The data is a matter of public record, easily verifiable through Federal Election Commission records.
I'm not questioning in whether the FEC has this data. I'm questioning the validity of the data. There is a difference. It could have been altered by someone for reasons I cannot presently guess.
Atif Fareed, the Southwest Airlines pilot, appears only once on this list.
Maybe you misunderstood what I was writing about?

Conservatives aren't allowed to be wrong about anything. Get one thing even partially wrong and you are forever discredited. I am just being careful.
