Cynthia McKinney is a member of the House of Representative from the 4th Congressional District in Georgia.
From that horrible Fox News:
The incident occurred on Wednesday, when McKinney allegedly struck a Capitol Police officer after entering a House office building and refusing to stop at the request of the officer, who apparently did not recognize the congresswoman.
Congressional sources told FOX News that the officer, Paul McKenna, signed an affidavit swearing that McKinney responded to what he described as standard security procedures by punching him in the chest with a cell phone in her hand.
An assistant to Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, R-Mich., witnessed the incident and gave a statement to Capitol Police, sources told FOX News. The witness, whose name is being withheld, told police that she saw McKinney hit a police officer. The witness was unaware that McKinney was a congresswoman.
McKinney was not wearing her congressional lapel pin during the altercation, which Capitol Police officers use to identify lawmakers and allow them to bypass security checks.
Several Capitol Police officials have said the officer involved asked McKinney three times to stop. When she did not, he placed a hand on her and she hit him, they said.
The department is tasked with protecting the 535 members of Congress and the vast Capitol complex in an atmosphere thick with politics and privilege.
The safety of its members became a sensitive issue after a gunman in 1998 killed two officers outside the office of then-Republican Whip Tom DeLay of Texas.
A Mouthpiece for McKinney now says she was “just a victim of being in Congress while black.”
Is there anyone, possibly besides me, So Tired Of Elitist Blacks Playing The Victim Race Card? This is, by the way, the card played when one has no cogent, logical, rational or credible reason or response to a given stupid act.
Today, in a press conference, McKinney trotted out ADMs* Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover. My, how the Credence Factor exponentially increased by dint of their mere presence!
Her Mouthpiece also said: “Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, like thousands of average Americans across this country, is, too, a victim of the excessive use of force by law enforcement officials because of how she looks and the color of her skin.”
Myart planned to file charges against the officer for excessive use of force, Capitol Police said.
McKinney was flanked by leaders from civil rights organization and a couple dozen schoolchildren from her district who were coincidentally in the nation’s capitol on a field trip, according to a spokesman. Several of the children, most of whom were black, held up signs reading “God Bless Cynthia.”
LCD*, simple-minded racist Moonbat pap, pure and simple. As Ace says:
In related news, O.J. Simpson says, “Word. All I was guilty of was sawing off two people’s heads while black. They let white people do that all the time. I hear that Gary Busey has an entire basement filled with hitchhikers’ severed genitals. But when a black man butchers a couple of people they make a big deal out of it, like it’s a crime or something.”
She’s had her Day of Fame. And that’s about enough of her.

I’m so glad you posted on this. She is so psycho!! She has done ridiculous things in the past and I see she hasn’t gotten a brain anytime recently.
The good people of Georgia need to make sure she doesn’t get re-elected. Yikes!!
McKinney has been named a ‘Howdy Doody Looking Nimrod’.

My oh my. This sounds like the case of a self important person who thinks they can skirt rules, even in times of tight national security. For shame! Why do people who are well known think they can get away with that crap!? And what bothers me even more is that if the racism reason is used enough, people become desensitized to it. I have no doubt that she is a bit ‘off,’ but am saddened that she pulled the race card! And among Black people any accusation of racism tends to cause alignments where none previously existed. But we really need to consider the source.
I do know that there is still racism and people who do mean things to others, for whatever reason. My issue is that real issues of intolerance and discrimination are often glossed over due to this type of moonbattery, and that really bothers me.
She needs to be taken to the town square and made a fool. I am sick of this shit. Please pardon my language, but I really am.

OK Blo Zep:
Now I have to do a post on this because of this HORRIBLE quote:
“We’re not here to judge the merits of the case, but here to support our sister,” said Glover, most famous for the “Lethal Weapon” movie franchise.”
And that, my friend, is the problem. They have aligned themselves with her for no other reason than nepotism and she likely is in the wrong. But that is the problem with leadership in the Black community (and indeed America) now; alliances are more important than affecting real change that can trim government, and build a harmonious society where men are accountable for their own actions. It is this type of “Follow the leader” garbage that holds back the further evolution of humanity!
Do note that whenever the Left needs to denigrate someone the *first* thing they do is say: racism!
No matter what the area of discussion, no matter what technicalities it is always and has been for decades: racism!
Pulling drunks over at night: racism!
Bringing criminal gangs to heel: racism!
A highly black city that is sinking: racism!
Profiling prospective terrorists: racism!
Junk food eaten by the poor: racism!
No black quarterbacks: racism!
No black hockey teams: racism!
No blacks on the currency: racism!
In fact, just about every damn thing is racist… except charging racism. That seems to be fair.
There is a word for people who charge racism to keep society apart: segregationist.
Do remember that when you see people pointing and saying racism at every damn thing. They are segregationists wanting to divide the People of America into color coded groups. With some colors being more equal than others.
Those charging racism want to control your thoughts.
I charge segregationist to stop pernicious division-making in society because that is the result of those performing that action.
I could see where this would strike a nerve with you amigo. If she looked she did at the press conference, no wonder he did not recognize her as a distinguished lady. What ever happened to decorum? I have seen pictures of this woman that were quite attractive. It is like she uglied up on purpose.
Hey, lighten up with this humor.
Is there anyone, possibly besides me, So Tired Of Elitist Blacks Playing The Victim Race Card?
*Raises hand*
I knew this was going to happen! What’s funny is that I wrote a similar post on this predicting that it would become a racial issue, and before I could even publish it to my site they were playing the race card. Three words…get over it!
LMC: Yup. A loon.
Mahndisa: that’s the greatest offense. She minimizes and denigrates those who have actual occasion and have actually been the subject of racism.
And yes, those two idiots have made an alliance with her based on melanin only. Further stupidity.
Wordsmith: thank you for the raised hand indeed. Count us all in.
John: here’s the odd thing: just last night as I was writing this, I played the Eagles “Get Over It.” Synchronicity? (sound of theme from Twilight Zone playing)
BWH: yeah baby, I desperately need some humor, so I’m going there right now.

Blo, I agree. great post! I am glad someone wrote about it! THis totally cracks me up.. That picture of her is hilarious.. Well, I guess that just goes to show you how much in the dump the libs are having people like this represent them.
Anonymous: thanks for the website tip! Just went there!

Revka: the sad thing is, there are those sufficiently ill-equipped from the Brain Factory that they “buy” this racist bunk.
She’s just a blathering Moonbat attempting a coverup for her arrogance, seeing Race Conspiracies in every corner. She’ll fall off the Radar in due time. Those with half a cerebrum in the dome know this.
