Of course, in typical nutjob fashion, she's challenging the primary results - fortunately this will likely fail.

Let's not forget those new Black Panther body guards of hers who were throwing around anti-Semitic comments everywhere either.

I get the impression that Cynthia McKinney will one day be a recluse who has lots of cats, hoards newspapers and small children make up stories about her crazy house Smiley

HAHAHA

Yes, I was very happy when Johnson defeated her in the primary.

I'll be even happier if William Jefferson loses his primary. He's the most corrupt Democrat in Washington.

Documentation, please?

What, you mean:  "McKinney Supporters Blaming Jews"

Despite a landslide loss in Tuesday night's primary runoff against Hank Johnson, the controversy just keeps coming out of the Cynthia McKinney campaign.

First there was a scuffle between McKinney's bodyguards and an 11Alive news photographer, then there were remarks made to a cable network news crew, in which members of McKinney's entourage allegedly made shocking anti-Semitic remarks.

The Anti-Defamation League says they want to hear from McKinney and they want her to disavow the anti-Semitic remarks reported by the network crew, remarks that recall the scandal that cost her the election in 2002.

“We’re seeing some Cynthia McKinney supporters are resorting to anti-Semitic and racist language and again blaming the Jews for her loss in this campaign,” said ADL southeast Associate Director Shelley Rose.

The remarks were allegedly made just moments after McKinney's entourage passed out of earshot of 11Alive cameras, as the congresswoman left her campaign headquarters on Tuesday night.

Someone reportedly said quote, “You wanna know what led to the loss? Israel. The Zionists. You. put on your yarmulke and celebrate."

(Cont...)


I'm surprised you haven't seen the video of this, let alone not heard of it.  It's been on all the news channels out here.

The story says "allegedly." I frankly have a hard time believing that the remarks were actually made, especially because it seems like the TV station has an ongoing feud with McKinney.

The station is owned by the same company that owns the very conservative USA Today, by the way.

Like I asked, have you not seen the video?  Maybe I can find it for you . . . but really, you need to start watching the news.

I wouldn't be surprised if this whole thing was staged by some Rethug operative.

What is a Rethug?
