brain-dead, race-baiting, anti-semitic bigot

Sounds like a female version of a "good ol boy" from days of yore.

It's a protected minority house seat. The only contest is in the primary.

I would like to point out to all you Jews out there that very often Israel and The United States of America have common inerests. Without a doubt, denying McKinney any sort of victory of political office is one of those common interests. Those persons that are anti-Semitic will bring scurrilous charges and attempt to smear and intimidate Jews no matter how accomodating you are. Stick it to them before they can stick it to you (again).

Did someone say Commie?? Here's an excerpt from an article posted on the CPUSA website where C. McKinney is a fav.

Introduction

The details of the defeat of Cynthia McKinney in Georgia's 4th Congressional District primary and Earl Hilliard in Alabama's 7th Congressional District primary should serve to sound an alarm about the assault being carried out by the right-wing in particular against the Black vote, and overall to weaken, split and destroy progressive representation.

The situation was not confined to Georgia in this election cycle.

In Florida's primary for Governor large-scale confusion was created, targeting many Black voting districts. Republican ballots were given to Democrats in the heart of the Black community. "It makes me feel that this is intentional. I'm enraged," responded Congresswoman Corinne Brown of Jacksonville. Despite everything, progressive labor leader Tony Hill won his primary for State Senate in Jacksonville by a two to one margin, based on a broad, united grass-roots campaign.

That's right, and but for an accident of birth she could have been a Kleagle like Senator Byrd (D) back in his White Sales days.

I work with a couple of young lefties. On the day after the 02 election I was waiting for them to show up, told them "You realise I plan on be insufferably smug for several days?"

[fuzzycat]

Don't really recall but I believe he was reprimanded and apologized. It was all over the paper in Atl. Good thing he did'nt push too far. My friend is of Serbian descent.

Here's a cartoon in response to that one:

[Clintonfatigued]

Well, there are four viable 'Rats running against McKinney in the primary. One is state Senator Nadine Thomas, a former McKinney ally who dropped out of the U.S. Senate race after Denise Majette entered it. Another is Atlanta City Councilwoman Cathy Woolard, who would be the second open lesbian to be elected to Congress. Another is state Senator Liane Levetan, whom I believe is Jewish. The fourth is state Senator Connie Stokes, whom I know nothing about.

[bilhosty]

It is not a forgone conclusion that she is going to go back. some pols show her losing in a run of with Liane Levetan by a large margin. Actually her election would be beneficial to the Gop. As only Dem's can win this district she would be a light weight. She would also become the face of the Democrat party in Georgia if as expected we take the Senate seat. But, frankly in spite of all that I sure hope and expect her to lose

[Honestfreedom]

Is the writer of this piece known as Alexander Portnoy? The old "what will the goym think" scared little boy afraid to stand up for himself. If a White racist was running for office, would Blacks hesitate to stand up against him for fear of offending Whites.

[Honestfreedom]

I think Conservatives should avoid the enjoyment of seeing liberals represented by freaks. There are several reasons for this. We should have good liberal alternatives to conservatives to improve the quality of conservatives and to provide a reasonable alternative when conservatives are dishonest or fail to represent what we want. The more compelling reason is that sometimes liberals do take control of the political system and then these freaks will be in positions of real power.

[SJackson]

McKinney is a brain-dead, race-baiting, anti-semitic bigot but...... she's also a black female southern Democrat with a big mouth

OK, but for a big chunk of the local electorate, there's no reason not to vote for her there.

The irony of this is that it's a primary, where DEMORCRATIC voters get to choose between a DEMOCRATIC race-baiting, anti-semitic bigoted black woman and just a plain DEMOCRATIC black woman.

And these morons can't figure out who to support in a PRIMARY

Sorry for yelling, but this is laughable.

You're so right, she was building seniority.

[Smartass]

GOOD TOONS...

[MarkL]

The lesser of the evils? Vote in the devil you know? Just lay there and try to enjoy it?

Geez... This is a good example of why the Jews in Germany walked into the gas chambers in a nice, orderly fasion.

One could say the same thing about the Bush/Kerry race. "Don't try to keep Kerry out because he's really not that much of a threat and we don't want to appear like we're biased or fanatical or something."

All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men and women to do nothing. Kerry OUT, McKinney OUT, Saddam OUT...that's just a start.

[adam_az]

"I will certainly contribute to anyone running against her."

Same here!
