Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) punched a U.S. Capitol Police officer today after he mistakenly pursued her for failing to pass through a metal detector... The entire incident is on tape. The cop is pressing charges and the USCP are waiting until Congress adjourns to arrest her, a source claims... Developing...

If you didnt know it, Congresswoman McKinney is one of us those who believe that 9/11 was an "inside job".

Rep. Cynthia McKinney led a Capitol Hill hearing Friday [July 22, 2005] on whether the Bush administration was involved in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
"What we are doing is asking the unanswered questions of the 9/11 families < http://911independentcommission.org/questions.html " McKinney...said during the proceedings. The eight-hour hearing, timed to mark the first anniversary of the release of the Sept. 11 commission's report on the attacks, drew dozens of contrarians and conspiracy theorists who suggest President Bush purposely ignored warnings < http://www.WantToKnow.info/9-11cover-up10pg or may even have had a hand in the attack — claims participants said the commission ignored. "Congresswoman McKinney is viewed as a contrarian," panelist Melvin Goodman, a former CIA official, said. "And I hope someday her views will be considered conventional wisdom."

I wonder if this has something to do with it.

Here, it is the alternative side that is consciously and meticulously presenting credible evidence and sources, and still the stubborn and ignorant keep touting about "credibility" .

Kind of reminds you of Ann Coulter.

CYNTHIA MCKINNEY JUST BEING CYNTHIA MCKINNEY

I guess everyone's heard the story by now. When I get to the studios I'm sure that Web Guy will tell me we've had hundreds of emails on the subject. It seems that Georgia's embarrassment, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, has slugged, or slapped, or punched, or hit ... whatever ... a Capitol Hill police officer. Here is the way it was reported to have happened. Cynthia is entering one of the House office buildings. It wasn't the building in which her office is located. She was not wearing the lapel pin that identifies her as a member of congress. She exercises her privilege of walking around the metal detectors. The police officer doesn't recognize her and goes after her. That's his job. When he (chose one) (a) place his hand on her shoulder; or (b) grabbed her arm, she turned around and (a) hit, (b) punched (c) slapped him in his (a) face (b) chest with (a) her open hand (b) her fist (c) her cell phone.

How's that for thoroughness?

The Capitol Cop says he's going to press charges. There are reports that McKinney will be arrested when the congress adjourns. My guess? He won't press charges, and there will be no arrest.

OK ... Let's go through this step by step.

Should members of congress be allowed to bypass security measures? Of course not! But, remember, they are members of congress and they just love to set up special perks and privileges for themselves. Take comfort in the fact that these politicians still have to go through airport security like the rest of us unwashed Americans.

Should McKinney have been wearing the lapel pin that identifies her as a Member of Congress? No. There is no requirement that they wear those pins, and if it were me I wouldn't wear them either. I know other congressmen who make a practice of never wearing that pin. Sometimes it just doesn't pay to advertise who you are.

Should the Capital Cop have recognized Cynthia? Well, there are 435 members of the House and another 100 Senators. Many of them, of course, are high profile. Many others don't occupy the limelight and are hard to recognize. Plus, you have the added problem of McKinney having just changed her hairstyle. Her signature hairstyle. Having said this, though, I think that the Capitol Cop should have recognized McKinney, if for no other reason than the fact that she is a problem. There have been incidents before this one that should cause every single person working in law enforcement anywhere near Washington to know this woman on sight. McKinney is a hot head, and if you want your life to go smoothly you don't screw with her.

Should McKinney have hit the cop? No. No way. She should have just turned around and said "Excuse me, I'm Cynthia McKinney from Georgia, a member of the House of Representatives." Upon hearing the name the cop would have turned deathly pale and would have immediately summoned a sedan chair to take the Queen anywhere she wanted to go. There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for her losing her temper and striking that officer. She knew exactly what she was doing, and she knew it was wrong when she did it. She lost her temper, she should apologize for it, and from that point on it should be between McKinney and the pathetic people who put her in office.

We have one other issue here. Race. As soon as I saw the headline on the Drudge Report last night I knew, without any shadow of a doubt, that Cynthia McKinney was going to make a racial issue out of this. Sure enough, it didn't take long. Some Internet reports last night said that McKinney was claiming that she had been "harassed" by white capitol hill police officers. She is quoted as saying "Do I have to contact the police every time I change my hairstyle? How do we account for the fact that when I wore my braids every day for 11 years, I still faced this problem, primarily from certain white police officers." There is no reference to white police officers on her official website. Perhaps cooler heads prevailed by the time her "official" statement was issued. We do have history to rely on here. Race is pretty much all that Cynthia McKinney has had going for her for years. Race is why she is in the House of Representatives. Race is always at the center of McKinney's life. Several years ago there was a similar case at the White House. McKinney had to identify herself to the Secret Police. Then, as now, McKinney made a racial issue out of it, saying that she is sick and tired of having to constantly have her identity validated by white people.

McKinney needs to thank the Capitol Hill Police for doing their job and apologize for being an arrogant hot head. And that should be the end of it.

Cynthia McKinney
The rep who cries racism.
By Chris Suellentrop
Posted Friday, April 19, 2002, at 10:45 AM ET



All of us have voices in our heads, whispering insanities. Rep. Cynthia McKinney's problem is that she lets hers speak. She's the Christopher Walken character in Annie Hall, except when she's tempted to swerve into a car's oncoming headlights, she actually does it.

After all, she's not the first liberal to spin the fantasy that President Bush had advance knowledge of the Sept. 11 attacks, which McKinney insinuated last month during a radio interview with a Berkeley, Calif., station. The New Yorker's drama critic John Lahr admitted in Slate to a similar notion. And McKinney's colleague, Rep. Melvin Watt, D-N.C., told the Washington Post that "a number of people say it."

But McKinney, a Georgia Democrat, appears to be the first to take it seriously. After confessing his suspicion, Lahr attributed it to "paranoia." Watt hastily followed up his comment by saying, "I can't say that it would be a widely held view." McKinney, weeks after her statement, would say only, "A complete investigation might reveal" that "President Bush or members of his administration have personally profited from the attacks of 9-11."

It's not the first time McKinney's mouth has gotten her in trouble. In her 10 years in Congress, hardly a year has gone by when she didn't make news for an outlandish accusation or a wild conspiracy theory (ideally, as in this case, a combination of both). During a nasty 1996 congressional campaign with racial tension on both sides, she called supporters of her Republican opponent "holdovers from the Civil War days" and "a ragtag group of neo-Confederates." Never mind that her opponent was Jewish. And during the 2000 presidential campaign, she wrote that "Gore's Negro tolerance level has never been too high. I've never known him to have more than one black person around him at any given time." Never mind that Gore's campaign manager was black. (McKinney is not a particularly partisan finger-pointer—there are enough delusions for both sides.)

Around every corner, McKinney sees a secret cabal plotting her demise. After the majority-black district that first elected her to Congress was struck down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutionally gerrymandered, she lashed out at the court as racist. She compared the verdict to Dred Scott, the decision that declared slaves were nothing more than chattel, and Plessy v. Ferguson, which legitimized separate-but-equal American apartheid. (Never mind that she was re-elected in a white majority district two years later.) During her next election, she declared that Georgia's kaolin industry engineered the case that eliminated her district, as payback for her fights against the industry in Congress. (Kaolin is a white clay that is used in a number of products, including porcelain.) And last fall, she tried to solicit money for black Americans from a Saudi prince who said U.S. policy in the Middle East was partly to blame for the Sept. 11 attacks, then she wrote in a Washington Post op-ed, "Why such a negative reaction to my letter? I believe that when it comes to major foreign policy issues, many prefer to have black people seen and not heard." (To which the National Review's Jonah Goldberg retorted that "she needs to explain why I keep finding these quotes in my morning paper by Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell.")

But being the Girl Who Cried Racism means that people will also roll their eyes at the legitimate slights that the first black Congresswoman from Georgia has faced. In August 1993, during her first term in office, a Capitol Hill police officer tried to prevent her from bypassing a metal detector, as members of Congress are allowed to do. For years afterward, The Hill reports, the Capitol Police pinned a picture of McKinney to an office wall, warning officers to learn her face because she refuses to wear her member's pin. (And because officers are innately suspicious of a black woman with braided hair and gold shoes.) Five years later, she blasted White House security after guards thought her 23-year-old white aide was the congresswoman.

Incidents like these ground her wilder scenarios in a reality with which many of her constituents are familiar. As McKinney put it in a 1996 interview with the Progressive, "African Americans have always known that a little bit of paranoia was healthy for us." Like most conspiracy-mongers, McKinney taps that paranoia to weave facts into a web of fiction.

She knows that a portion of her constituency is receptive to the allegations she makes, and she deliberately plays on their fears. Her comments aren't flippant ad-libs. The Oliver Stone-style plot she relayed to Berkeley's radio listeners was part of a prepared statement, "Thoughts on Our War Against Terrorism," that McKinney later published in the left-wing newsletter Counterpunch. (Click here to hear her read it on the March 25 edition of KPFA's Flashpoints. Her statement begins at the 30-minute mark.) What many people see as outrageous demagoguery, others see as courageous truth-telling.

And by disseminating her more fanciful messages in obscure media outlets, McKinney insulates herself somewhat from the chunk of her constituents who would be outraged by her antics. She backs down slightly when the mainstream media come calling. After her comments about Gore's "Negro tolerance level" were posted on her House Web site, she disclaimed them and canceled four scheduled interviews with the Associated Press to discuss the incident. She employed a similar strategy in '96 when her father repeatedly called her opponent a "racist Jew." (When asked about his comments by the New York Times, he replied, "He is a racist Jew, that's what he is, isn't he?") After ignoring his comments for a week, she distanced herself from them and "fired" him from her campaign, though he had no formal role.

Despite her controversial reputation, McKinney hasn't had a close race in her five congressional elections, winning with at least 58 percent of the vote each time. This year she faces a primary opponent, Denise Majette, who says she will exploit her 9/11 comments. But if history is any guide, Majette will discover that voters don't elect McKinney in spite of her mouth. They elect her because of it.

Of particular note is the who's who of radical organizations her donors are associated with:

Hani Y. Awadallah – president, Arab American Civic Organization, New Jersey.

Jesse Aweida – co-founder, American Task Force on Palestine.

Belal Dalati – a vice president of Arab-American Broadcasting Co. (Orange County Register, February 19, 2002) associated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Hasan Elkhatib –member, board of directors, American Islamic Educational Foundation (MetroWest Jewish News, October 10, 1996)

Yaser Elmenshawy - chairman, Islamic Council of New Jersey.

Rafeeq Jaber – president, Islamic Association for Palestine, a Hamas offshoot.

Oussama Jammal – president, Bridgeview Mosque.

Samer Khalaf – chairman, American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee's Political Outreach Committee in New Jersey.

Faroque Khan – president, Islamic Center of Long Island, also connected to the American Muslim Alliance and Islamic Society of North America.

Mahmoud A Nimer - member, board of directors, Islamic Academy of Florida, Tampa (an Islamic school established by Sami al-Arian; al-Arian's indictment indicates the school was used as a base of support for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad).

Ayman Osman - member, board of directors, Islamic Academy of Florida, Tampa; employer of Hatem Fariz, arrested on terrorism charges and charged with being a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Talat Othman - former chairman of the Islamic Free Market Institute; secretary/treasurer of the American Task Force on Palestine.

Khalid Qazi – former president, American Muslim Council of western New York State.

Hareth Raddawi - member, board of directors, American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee, Chicago.

Allam Reheem - former member, board of directors, Islamic Academy of Florida, Tampa.

Talal Sunbulli – former chairman, Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago.

James Zogby – president, Arab American Institute.

In addition, the American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee gave $1,000.

Such an outpouring of extremist support comes as no shock; as Erick Stakelbeck documents in today's New York Post, "McKinney has long associated with militant Islamic groups whose members have openly supported terrorism," plus "she has taken to the floor of the House to defend them."

Some more random info:


Congresswoman representing the 4th District of Georgia, DeKalb County.

Member of the radical Progressive Caucus.

Voted to legalize the killing of babies after they are born.

Voted against a resolution supporting Israel in the War on Terror, but refused to vote for a resolution condemning the anti-Semitic statements of a disciple of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

Told a Saudi prince she would accept his offer of $10 million that New York Mayor Rudi Giuliani rejected because it came with anti-Semitic strings attached.

Provided propaganda for Communist FARC guerrillas in Colombia.

Voted against school vouchers for black parents in Washington, D.C.

"We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11. What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered?….What do they have to hide?" -- Rep. Cynthia McKinney.

"Ms. McKinney is a racist and anti-Semite of the first rank. If she were white and male, she would be David Duke." -- Peter Swartz, Professor Emeritus, Cornell University.


Cynthia McKinney is a Democratic Member of Congress who represents the Fourth District of Georgia. In 2002, after serving 10 years in Congress, she was swept out of office by controversy and lost the 2002 Democratic primary election. She was then hired by Cornell University to work a few weeks each year over the ensuing three years as a Frank H.T. Rhodes Class of '56 Professor. She was recommended for the Rhodes professorship by Prof. James Turner, who had invited her to give a speech at the Africana Studies Summer Institute in the summer of 2003. Her appointment was approved by a committee of thirteen faculty members and deans. McKinney's visits to Cornell were sponsored by the university's Africana Studies and Research Center. She taught in the same program as the radical Australian journalist and documentary-maker John Pilger. McKinney had previously taught at Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta and at Agnes Scott College in Decatur.

In 2004 McKinney won 51 percent of the votes as one of six candidates in that primary and went on to regain her congressional seat, winning almost 64 percent of the vote in the November general election.

McKinney's political career began in 1988, when she was elected to the Georgia state legislature. With the help of her father - who was a member of the state legislature's House of Representatives - she was given a seat on the redistricting committee that in 1991 re-drew congressional districts, some of which were gerrymandered to elect African-Americans. In 1992 McKinney ran and won in one of those districts she helped design.

Congresswoman McKinney became an outspoken member of the radical Progressive Caucus. The group Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) rated her voting record 95 percent on the left side of legislation. She also joined the Congressional Black Caucus.

McKinney has had a 100 percent pro-union voting record, according to the AFL-CIO. She has also had a solidly "pro-education" voting record, according to the National Education Association (NEA), which shares her ideology. McKinney earned this honor in part by voting in 1998 to deny vouchers to the 70 percent of African-American parents in Washington, D.C. who want to liberate their children from inferior, unionized public schools.

McKinney opposed the tax cuts proposed by President George W. Bush, endorsing instead the Progressive Caucus' "American People's Dividend," a payment of $300 to every person in America, the same for all whether a person paid $1 million in taxes or $0.

Although nominally a Roman Catholic, McKinney had a 100 percent pro-choice voting record, according to the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), a group that strongly backed her for re-election in 2002. In 2000 she voted against legislation to ban partial-birth abortions.

In 2000 Cynthia McKinney was one of only 15 Members of Congress to vote against the "Born-Alive Infants Protection Act." This measure provided that if during the procedure commonly called a "partial birth abortion" a nearly-born infant slipped entirely out of its mother before its brains were vacuumed out, it would acquire the human rights of a person already born.

In 1999 she voted against banning physician-assisted suicide. In 1994 she voted to replace the death penalty with life imprisonment.

In 1998 McKinney voted against ending racial preferences in college admissions.

During the 2000 presidential campaign, wrote journalist Michael Barone, "following a complaint by black Secret Service agents, [McKinney's] office issued a statement attacking [Democratic candidate] Al Gore's low 'Negro tolerance level' and accused him of rarely having more than one black agent with him."

In 2001 she voted for legislation to impose nationwide same-day voter registration on election days. This would have eliminated most checks and safeguards that prevent fraudulent voting.

In 1994 McKinney refused to vote for a resolution condemning the anti-Semitic speeches of Khalid Muhammad, a firebrand disciple of Nation of Islam leader Rev. Louis Farrakhan.

Beginning in 1997, McKinney voted repeatedly to cut U.S. aid to Israel.

With regard to the environment, McKinney joined with such radical eco-activist groups as the Rainforest Action Network and the Earth Island Institute in endorsing the Heritage Tree Preservation Act, which seeks to ban all logging in old-growth forests.

In 2001 the United States withdrew most of its diplomatic participation in the United Nations' World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia And Related Intolerance in Durban, South Africa after it became clear that the gathering would give prominence not only to anti-American but also to anti-Israel and anti-Semitic leaders. Despite this, seven members of Congress including Congresswoman McKinney attended, and they, plus another seven congressional Democrats, lent their prestige to what became an anti-Jewish hatefest.

In May 2002 McKinney was one of 17 House Democrats who voted against a House Resolution (HR 392) expressing support for Israel as it faced terrorist attacks that killed more than 600 civilians. The resolution she opposed stated that, "the United States and Israel are now engaged in a common struggle against terrorism."

In 2002, after McKinney lost her bid for the Democratic nomination to her seat in Congress, her father offered the media a four-letter word as explanation: "The Jews, J-E-W-S." McKinney lost to a more moderate African-American woman, Denise Majette.

Many Jewish leaders had given support to her opponent after it came to light that McKinney had taken huge political campaign contributions from radical Muslims, including some with links to terrorist-supporting organizations. McKinney also had the support of Minister Louis Farrakhan.

"McKinney has enjoyed strong support from the Arab and Muslim community, which views her as a prime backer of a Palestinian state," wrote investigative reporter Matthew E. Berger in 2004. "A review of her Federal Election Commission filings shows a slew of Arab surnames, and she received $1,000 from the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee."

continued...

[Power-Quest]

And McKinney in exchange was willing and eager to speak out in concert with such views. When a Saudi prince tried to use his $10 million 9-11 charity donation as a platform from which to criticize U.S. support for Israel, New York Mayor Rudi Giuliani returned Prince Alwaleed bin Talal's check. Congresswoman McKinney then immediately wrote to the Prince to offer her services in helping him spend his $10 million.

"A growing number of people in the United States," McKinney wrote sycophantically to the Prince, "recognize, like you, that U.S. policy in the Middle East needs serious examination."

A member of her congressional staff, Raeed Tayeh, wrote to the Capitol Hill magazine Roll Call to criticize "these pro-Israeli lawmakers [who] sit on the House International Relations Committee despite the obvious conflict of interest that their emotional attachments to Israel cause…. The Israeli occupation of all territories must end, including Congress."

On Berkeley Pacifica Radio station KPFA, McKinney even implied that President George W. Bush knew in advance that the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon were coming — declaring that the President let thousands of innocent people die because this would somehow profit the Bush family's wealthy friends.

"We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11," said McKinney. "What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered?….What do they have to hide?"

Pressed to retract or substantiate this blood libel, McKinney weaseled: "I am not aware of any evidence showing that President Bush or members of his administration have personally profited from the attacks of 9-11. A complete investigation might reveal that to be the case…. On the other hand, what is undeniable is that corporations close to the Administration have directly benefited from the increased defense spending arising from the aftermath of September 11.

"America's credibility, both with the world and with her own people," added McKinney, "rests upon securing credible answers to these questions."

Her hatred of Jews and the Bush Administration also apparently includes a hatred of white people here and abroad. Of Marxist President Robert Mugabe's racist policy of confiscating all white farms in Zimbabwe, McKinney said: "To any honest observer, Zimbabwe's sin is that it has taken the position to right a wrong, whose resolution has been too long overdue — to return its land to its people."

McKinney also wants to confiscate the property of American whites (most of whose ancestors never owned slaves, or who were not even here when slavery existed) via tax-supported reparations to black Americans. "Eight generations of African-Americans," she said last April, "are still waiting to achieve their rights — compensation and restitution for the hundreds of years during which they were bought and sold on the market."

During her two years out of office, as noted earlier, McKinney held the position of Visiting Professor at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. "The selection of Cynthia McKinney as a Class of '56 professor is an affront to the intellectualism of Cornell University," wrote Professor Emeritus Peter Swartz. "Ms. McKinney is a racist and anti-Semite of the first rank. If she were white and male, she would be David Duke. It is unfortunate that the selection committee was so open minded that its collective brain fell on floor."

"I'm attracted to fights," McKinney has said. In 2004 she ran and won in a Democratic primary, the outcome of which determines the winner in this heavily-gerrymandered district. One of Congresswoman McKinney's biggest campaign contributors had been the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (ATLA), whose members are wealthy tort lawyers. She has voted against legislation that would limit their profits. In 2001 she voted No on a bill to put lawsuits against HMOs under federal regulation.

Roughly 41 percent of McKinney's 2001-2002 Political Action Committee (PAC) contributions came from organized labor. Two of her biggest contributors were the Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA), with its long history of corruption, as well as the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and the Teamsters Union. More than 37 percent of her PAC donations came from single issue or ideological groups, such as the gay Human Rights Campaign.

McKinney has supposedly represented the 4th District of Georgia. But in 2001-2002, 73 percent of her campaign contributions came from outside the state of Georgia. She pocketed almost as much cash just from California donors ($ 131,250) as she did from her fellow Georgians in and around Atlanta ($ 140,669).
