QFT.

Justice isn't so much as served, as it has merely been requested. The US Attorney's Office still has to decide whether to issue the warrant, or just drop it altogether.

Filing such an affidavit is the first step in obtaining an arrest warrant. Only if Wainstein approves the affidavit can Capitol Police officials ask a judge to issue the arrest warrant.

When you see a mug shot, that will at least be a symbolic victory. Until then, there's still the possibility (or probability, some would say) that the USAO will just cave to the race card. :shifty

In any event, the outrage in this case is the utter arrogance to expect not only to be known (and openly revered) wherever she goes, but beyond that, to expect to get away with slugging a cop, and then racially branding and blaming the cop who was just doing his duty.

Isnt it still a federal offense to hit an officer? I mean, if Naveen hit an officer he'd go straight to jail. I mean, the officer wouldn't be hurt (im sure McKinney could hit harder) but his ass would be grass in a hurry.


Sorry to bring Naveen back into this board.

It's not about what degree of a punch she landed, it's about the fact that she did so at all. Assaulting an Officer is a criminal offense, pure and simple. There's no charge called "Assaulting an Officer, But Only A Little Bit, Because Really, How Hard Could A Woman Hit Anyway?"

And if you think the media has any kind of "agenda" against McKinney and her ilk, please tell us what channel you've been watching. :confused

That nutjob is a media darling. The reason it got coverage at all at first is because this time, she did something so stupid, it couldn't be ignored or brushed under the carpet. Now, the attention contiues because she's screaming "racism," so the cameras eat it up. :rolleyes


And if you think for one second she didn't know exactly what kind of publicity she could & would generate with this stunt, you haven't been paying attention for the last several years. I remember her BS at the White House in '98. That blew over fairly quickly, but she's figured out how to ride the wave a bit longer now. What's more, this will just give her more "cred" with her chosen constituency, who will only see it as a black woman "fighting back against The Man." :shifty

RACIST HOUSE SPENDING RULES SNAG MCKINNEY

Perhaps you didn't know it, but using taxpayer funds for political fundraising is against the rules of the U.S. House of Representatives. It now seems that Cynthia McKinney took $1000 from her congressional office budget to fly Isaac Hayes to her district last year. He was there to be the headliner at a political fundraiser for McKinney. Cynthia McKinney has broken the law. Now it looks like McKinney is going to have to pay that money back somehow. Obviously, this rule is racist. It was put in place to nothing more than to harass black female members of congress and to prevent them from using taxpayer funds to fly black singers to fundraising events. The ugly specter of racism rears its ugly head in America, the land of white privilege, yet again.

RACIST DEMOCRATS SAY MCKINNEY A DISTRACTION

The Hill, a Washington D.C. political newspaper that bills itself "The Newspaper for and about the U.S. Congress" reported yesterday that many Democrats in the congress are now saying that Cynthia McKinney has become a distraction. An aid to one Democrat office holder says "There's been a lot of eye-rolling." A Democratic strategist adds: "This isn't the view of Democrats that we want to project in the tough races, one of victims and race-baiting." The Hill reports that McKinney elicits strong opinions, even within the Democratic caucus.

Obviously these Democrats are closet racists. The accusation that a black female causes a "lot of eye-rolling" is an obvious reference to Al Jolson's racist portrayal of eye-rolling black minstrels in his vaudeville act of years ago. Furthermore, the suggestion that McKinney, a clear and obvious of victim of intense racist hatred and discrimination for her entire life, is "race-bating" is a racist slur of the worst kind. Why can't we all just get along?

RACIST HOUSE SENIORITY RULES DESTROY MCKINNEY RELATIONSHIP WITH PELOSI

The Hill further reports that things aren't going all that well between House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Cynthia McKinney. It seems that when Cynthia was re-elected to the House in 2004 Pelosi refused --- not once, but twice --- to grant McKinney's request to reinstate her seniority. This, of course, was a blatantly racist move on the part of the minority leader, a move designed to keep the black sister down; a move designed to make sure this black female does not gain a position of respect and power in the congress. Pelosi obviously should be investigated.

RACIST ATLANTA COPS HARASS BLACK MOTORISTS ON CYNTHIA MCKINNEY PARKWAY

Reports are starting to surface that white cops have been seen giving traffic tickets to black motorists on Atlanta's Cynthia McKinney Parkway. These cops are clearly racists brutes who are obviously profiling black drivers. They're intentionally focusing on this particular street because it is named for Georgia Democrat Cynthia McKinney. Something just has to be done about these racist cops on the Atlanta police force. Before you know it they will be pulling black motorists out of their cars and clubbing them.


http://boortz.com/nuze/index.html

I just saw Tom Delay on Hannity and Colms (sp?). He described a capital police officer that died in his office protecting him from a shooter.

He went on and on about what a racist McKinney is. Very good segment.

Don't forget that we are talking about a D.C. grand jury.... :rolleyes

Ok, so they are deciding whether or not to send her in front of a grand jury. If I hit a uniformed officer, my ass would be in jail and in court in no time. Now since this is a congressmonkey they have to decide if they can let her off or not. This is not right, I know our government demonstrates a "holier than thou" attitude, but come on. You are hanging senators out to dry for somewhat white collar crimes. This dumb bitch assaulted an officer. Give me a break, hang the bitch out to dry.

Certainly so... to a degree. But some history will add some perspective to the process:

Part of the delay involves an old statute designed to protect members of Congress from coercive detention when Congress is in session. In the way-back-when, before airplanes, highways, or even cars, Congressmen would have to travel over land, often on their own, to get to D.C. Now then, if a local authority wanted to sway the vote on a particular issue one way or the other, or worse, threaten the Congressman in some way, he could have "detained" the Congressman under some trumped-up charge. Thus, the statute was enacted that gave Congressmen (and later, women) immunity from arrest while Congress was in session.

After the session is over, however, they're fair game. And Cynthia will be as well.

Unfortunately they are talking about dropping the charges down from assaulting a police officer, a felony, down to simple assault, a misdemeanor. Hopefully they will stick to their guns, hell the prosecutor's office is expected to call at least three eyewitnesses to testify before the grand jury.

Tim

While it would be nice to see the biggest book they can throw go flying through the air right at her, any prosecutor has to weigh the probability of what he/she can make stick.

If it were a planned, calculated attack (of course, I think it was), and could be proven as such, you could throw a felony charge, with a good chance at success. If the cop was hospitalized, even more so.

However, as long as the plausible deniability exists that this was a sudden, heat-of-the moment tantrum, if I were the DA, I might not try to push my luck going for a long-shot felony, when a clear and simple misdemeanor could reasonably be established.

Sometimes, you have to back up a bit, just to get one in the "win" column.


We'll see, I guess.

BREAKING: McKinney offers a carefully-worded speech on the US House floor, including the words "I apologize," but still stops short of accepting responsibility for striking the Capitol Police Officer.

Transcript of McKinney's 47-second speech on the House Floor, at approximately 12:05 PM EDT today:

I come before this body to personally express again, my sincere regret about the encounter with the Capitol Hill Police. I appreciate my colleagues who are standing with me, who love this institution, and who love this country.

There should not have been any physical contact in this incidcent. I have always supported law enforecment, and will be supprting HR 756, expressing my gratitude and appreciation to the professionalism and dedication of the men and women of the US Capitol Police.

I am sorry that this misunderstanding happened at all, and I regret its escalation, and I apologize.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

One guy even stopped his car to give them a real tongue lashing. Too bad I was too far away to hear what he said. Everyone in the shop got up to watch. Damn was it funny. Serves the biotch right for playing the race card.

She's got an interesting quote up on her web site:

From the United States Constitution, Article 1, Sec. 6::

"The Senators and Representatives shall receive a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the treasury of the United States. They shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place."

I don't know how much it really means -- you still shouldn't be smacking a security guard!

I prefer Boortz's description of her - "Welfare Drag Queen". Seriously, she has done more to perpetuate the status quo in her district than to assist her constituents to become more productive members of society. To me that is racist in itself.

Here's a quote from a survey in Congressional Daily on McKinney's support of legislation to even the Economic Inequality in America. Sounds a little Socialist to me.


Economic inequality is the result of two and a half decades of government policies and rules governing the economy being tilted in favor of large asset owners at the expense of wage earners. Tax policy, trade policy, monetary policy, government regulations and other rules have reflected this pro-investor bias. We propose the introduction or reintroduction of a package of legislative initiatives that will close America’s economic divide and address both income and wealth disparities.

* The Progressive Caucus could take the lead in the formation of a national leadership steering committee to put this dramatic issue before the public through coordinated media campaigns and local education and action forums. The political program should be concerned with: Reducing wage inequality: We are proposing initiatives to both raise the minimum wage floor and prevent the tax code from subsidizing excessive compensation.

* Asset-building initiatives: The government has historically given land to citizens. Unfortunately, the programs were discriminatory toward people of color and kept a whole generation of people off the asset-building train. We are proposing a universal asset building approach that will dramatically reduce the number of “asset less” households and reduce the disparity of wealth for all Americans.

* Addressing the over concentration of wealth and power: The concentration of wealth is a problem because it distorts our democracy, destabilizes the economy and erodes our at our social and cultural fabric. Too much concentrated wealth leads to too much concentrated power and begins to undermine our participatory democracy.

After a decade of economic prosperity, the moral question remains: if we can’t address the persistent economic divide in our nation today, when can we?

Surely you must know that for years upon years now, Boortz has also described her as "the cutest little Communist in Congress." The only part of that description he's kidding about is "cutest little." :shifty

As for what she does "for" her district, don't forget one of her major claims to fame is using taxpayer funds to hold - I kid you not - hair-braiding seminars for black people in her district. :confused

You should also know where a major chunk of her campaign change comes from: Saudi & Arab organizations with known ties to terrorists. She is, in no small way, the chosen Al Queda representative in the US House. :pissed

It also led to the other Boortz nicknames for her: "Cynthia Al-McKinney" and "Jihad Cindy."

Let us not forget the episode with Congress's initial refusal of a donation (around the time of 9/11) from an Arab sheik, due to its ramifications/dictations on our foreign policy, that McKinney tried to go behind the back of Congress to accept for her district...

Slightly off topic, but funny:

John F. Sugg interviews Jimmy Carter for Creative Loafing Atlanta:

Carter fittingly used a parable to illustrate how he'd like to see the political/religious debate unfold.
"I was teaching a Sunday school class two weeks ago," he recalls. "A girl, she was about 16 years old from Panama City [Fla.], asked me about the differences between Democrats and Republicans.
"I asked her, 'Are you for peace, or do you want more war?' Then I asked her, 'Do you favor government helping the rich, or should it seek to help the poorest members of society? Do you want to preserve the environment, or do you want to destroy it? Do you believe this nation should engage in torture, or should we condemn it? Do you think each child today should start life responsible for $28,000 in [federal government] debt, or do you think we should be fiscally responsible?'
"I told her that if she answered all of those questions, that she believed in peace, aiding the poor and weak, saving the environment, opposing torture . . . then I told her, 'You should be a Democrat.' "


Birds of a feather, and all that...

Birds of a feather, and all that...
Carter is a bleeding-heart idealist, certainly, and he gets a little more "out there" as he ages. But I've met him, and politics aside, he's one of the most gracious, unassuming old gentlemen you could want to meet. From what I could tell, he and his wife also regarded his Secret Service detail with the utmost respect, and they held them in similar esteem.

With McKinney's constant record of unapologetic (even today) arrogance, and shoddy treatment of those she considers to be lesser than her wannabe-lofty self-image, I would not put him in the same boat as far as character goes.

They may lean in somewhat similar directions politically, but that's where the similarity stops cold.

I've met him, too, actually. However, I would respectfully disagree with you. She blames everything on race, he blames everything on Republicans.

Oh well...

Well, that's to be expected, given his part-line loyalty. It's simply a given. :az

But if you've met him, then you know he conducts himself and his behavior nothing like the McKinney bunch. What you've seen the past few days from her isn't an exception, it's SOP. :shifty

Make no mistake: I'm not a fan of Carter's policies at all, but I simply cannot lump him in the same moral cesspool in which Cindy enjoys wallowing. :nono

Okay...compromise....I put them in the same cesspool, but she wallows very deeply and he floats on the surface.

:laugh

I know what you mean. ;)

It's the difference, really, between the politic and the personal. I'm more comfortable walking between the two "halves," if you will, of Carter: Politically, he's extreme, and just gets further out in Left field as he goes, true.

However, I have respect for him as someone who conducts himself as a gentleman, and affords others a welcoming, open benefit of the doubt on a personal level, if not always political. I can just as respectfully disagree with him on politics and policy, without stooping to the sort of acrimony which McKinney not only invites, but provokes, and even thrives upon for her own sick, twisted purposes.

Carter would stand on his principles, even though we don't like them. But do you think for one second, that if a jump to some other party or platform would benefit McKinney, she wouldn't make the switch in a split-second?

That they fall on the "wrong" side of the figurative aisle is unfortunate, but I don't see them as having been cut from the same temperamental cloth at all. Carter, however misguided, at least seems genuine in his "caring." McKinney is just a selfish egotist who exploits a movement for her own aggrandizement.

Okay. You win.

I still hate them both....

In that excellent "summary" of analysis, I'll summarize by noting that I disagree very strongly with one... :az
