It was standard smear politics. Take what someone says, stretch it into what she didn't say and then ridicule her for it.

You got it nailed there, Charlie boy. That's exactly how it works. That's what people like you do. No wonder you know all about it.

"...The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, in a huff of self-righteous indignation at McKinney put up an online poll asking whether people believed that the administration was responsible for the attack of 9/11. The poll was promptly taken down when it was discovered that about half the responses were in the affirmative..."

I think all she ever wanted to know was, who knew what, when? And a lot of other people are still curious, too. The security agencies have gotten a free pass and hugely expanded budgets. No one's taken any responsibility for the intelligence failure. Why?

Hee. Last year, during Festival auditions, the entertainment director called our names to get each of us up on stage, and there was dead silence (and after a few seconds, lotsa giggles from me and the other literate auditionees) after he called for Warren Peace.

The Democratic Underground tried to rig a poll about her.........we fought back and they didn't like it.

The actual tally was MUCH higher than this...and they got their clock cleaned.

McKinney's donation list looks like an Arab phone book. Shouldn't the FBI investigate?

There's some sort of investigation here:

Feds Searched Offices of Seven McKinney Donors (She Raked In Big Campaign $$ on Sept. 11)

...but McKinney is the first to use the despicable tactic of playing the race card when challenged, so it will take a lot of public pressure to spur any investigation.

... quotes of McKinney do not imply a plot ....

McKinney noted that the administration tried to shut down the normal process of congressional investigation and asked, "What do they have to hide?"

More Clintonesque Demospeak. Never admit that words mean what they mean.

McKinney... asked, "What do they have to hide?"

I guess this means McKinney would not mind being investigated, too...
...if she has nothing to hide--

Thanks for the ping. I suggest supporting McKinney's opponent, a Black female Democrat.
