So, she has the right to accuse President Bush of treason? I think she should be prepared to back that up with proof or face the consequences.

On the March 25 radio show, Mrs McKinney, 47, said: "We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11th. What did this administration know, and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew,k and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered?"

She should ask her friend Hillary these questions.

Whether this McKinney woman is a whackjob or simply out for whatever Republican blood she thinks she can get, she is still an irresponsible liar who should be held liable for any trouble and disturbance her unfounded beliefs about 9/11 and the 2000 election cause if she doesn't disavow them forthwith and publicly apologize.

Republicans were outraged and Democrats were on the defensive yesterday over comments by Rep. Cynthia A. McKinney suggesting that the Bush administration knew of impending terrorist attacks before September 11 but did not stop them.

What makes McKinney any different from loads of tin foil hat idiots on FREEREPUBLIC.COM?

Mr. Gephardt's spokesman said Republicans were focusing yesterday on Mrs. McKinney's comments to draw attention away from the conviction Thursday of Rep. James A. Traficant Jr., Ohio Democrat, on several charges, including racketeering, bribery and fraud.

"Part of me thinks that Republican efforts to focus on McKinney are trying to distract people from Republican leadership's apparent defense of a convicted felon serving in Congress," Mr. Smith said. "I haven't heard a word from Republican leadership about Traficant's fitness about serving in office." Richard Diamond, spokesman for Mr. Armey, dismissed that. "He's not our member. He's part of the Democratic caucus, not the Republican caucus," Mr. Diamond said of Mr. Traficant.

Sheesh! Is that the BEST they can do!

That is the weirdest spin I've ever heard. He's a Democrat, Gephart!! Also, you actually think that if Traficant wasn't convicted, Repubs would let McKinney's comments slide? Please. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together wouldn't believe that.

And here I thought Lewis Carroll was deceased.

This has to be the most bizarre comment ever from Gephardt.

Faulty tactics on the Repubs part- Most people have never heard the bigoted, outrageous outpourings of this disgraceful "representative"-- they need to get her to talk more, not less!

Neil Boortz covers her shenannigans pretty well; a pity more don't listen to his show.

Somebody ought to tell this guy to quit smoking dope during business hours. What an exceedingly strange statement.

What is it about politics that attacts so many black female kooks? Here's my list: Cynthia McKinney, Jocelyn Elders, Maxine Waters, Corrine Brown, Carrie Meek. I can't decide who's the kookiest!

"I think they were pretty irresponsible comments," said Rep. Jack Kingston, Georgia Republican and longtime friend and colleague of Mrs. McKinney. "I don't think anyone's taking them seriously. But she has the right as a member of Congress to say what she wants or believe what she wants."

Toropoop!

She might get away with treasonous statements on the floor of the House but not on a radio station out in the real world.

And if she is a long-time friend of Kingston, voters ought to be looking more closely at him.
