#1 Right. The Race Card. Last refuge of Black Scoundrels.

Originally she was just another supercilious Member of Congress and this was comical because she's the perfect clown.

Not now. This racist BS taints the good guys goddamnit, the decent blacks, just to save her sorry skin. What a racist asshole. Same for all the other clowns who echoed her BS.

#3 At a press conference Monday morning, black clergy and lawmakers came the defense of the firebrand congresswoman.

So "firebrand" is press code for "black supremacist antisemite"?

#4 "We are working with Capitol Hill police to fully understand and appreciate the incident,"

Like one would "appreciate" a rabit dog, or a com mon criminal. Thank you fine citizens of Atlanta for electing this outstanding member of your community to public office. She represents you well.

#7 Now - put this as a white conservative souther congressman bulling his way past a security checkpoint, acting abusively toward a female security person, and then striking her with his cell phone.

The press woudl ahve forced his resignation already.

Why the double standard for this bigoted thug? Is being female and minority give you an exemption from the laws and from civility?

Censure McKinney, and force her to resign.

#15 Wow-rather ugly comments from a couple posters today on rantburg.

Of course she is stirring up trouble for nothing-it's what she does best.

I read that the security guard asked her three times for id and she ignored him; that's when he placed his hands on her. Who knows where; I highly doubt that restraint was inappropriate.

Posted by Jules 2006-04-04 12:38|| 2006-04-04 12:38|| Front Page Top

#16 She did not stop when verbally requested to do so, so what would make you think that she would have responded to a request to provide ID?

Well, EP, speaking as a former civilian with a police department.....if you have someone who just decides that she does not need to wear her security badge/pin in order to avoid going through security checkpoints, because, hey, she's special....and this same special person is ignoring requests to stop as she is heading towards a known terrorist target, even though she does not fit the profile of an al-Qaeda operative (male, middle eastern descent, etc.), hell yeah, the officer had every right to restrain her physically.

He did not toss her to the floor, body slam her, or put her in a headlock. He grabbed her arm, while in uniform, and she decided to strike out at him with her cell phone. Welcome to your assault charge, Rep McK.

What makes her whining and bitching about this incident even more of a joke is the fact that her own father was a police officer (duty or REMF behind a desk, I know not). Growing up in a cop family, she damn well knows better. She just doesn't give a rat's ass.

I guarantee if this same officer had not physically restrained any other person from reaching the chambers of Congress, and that person was carrying explosives or anthrax or some other kind of nasty terrorist toy into those hallowed halls, your darling Rep McKinney would have been the first one baying for that officer's blood.

And you would have been chanting along in her amen corner, EP.

#20 Here are a few examples.
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.
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.")
And this isn't the first time she has had a run-in with the Capitol Police. 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.

#22 I have seen some very snide/nasty comments directed at her by people that disagree with her
accusations about him regarding 9-11, such as calling her a "unhinged lunatic" who suffers from some sort of mental illness.

Nothing snide or nasty about that. She is an unhinged lunatic -- or a blatant manipulator who plays off the ignorance and prejudices of her electorate.

You remember who her father blamed for her losing her office very briefly?

Or who *she* blamed?

#23 That's the problem with Gerrymandering. It allows unhinged lunatics to continue to be re-elected in safe districts. For both sides.

#24 I doubt seriously they would keep re-electing a "unhinged lunatic".

Really? Why?

We're talking about a person who has blamed Jews and Hindus for her political failures. Someone who falls squarely into the "MIHOP" school of "thought" about 9/11. Someone who kisses the ass of every tyrant she can, treats people like crap, and yet plays herself as being the champion of the people.

She's a bleeding loon; if she had an (R) after her name instead of a (D), her every insane utterance would be fodder for the late night comedians, and every damned politician in her party would be held to task for the lunacy that drips from her lips.

Unfortunately, she's one of the ultimate protected -- a black Democrat woman -- and the press does its best to cover up her insanity while her party supports it.

Why does she win elections?

Because she drew the boundaries of her district!

She gerrymandered a district in which her brand of racism, conspiracism, victimism and outright hatred would go over well enough to win elections.

You can defend her all you want, you can take the position that she's disliked because she "asks questions about 9/11" -- the rest of us will realize she's one of the nastier warts on the American body politic -- a dark-skinned David Duke with slightly different plumbing.

And we'll remember that when Duke tried to run as a Republican, they endorsed his Democrat opponent instead and ran commercials against him. And we'll wonder why Democrats keep supporting McKinney.

#37 EP,

You can discount what we're saying - your own eyes and ears for that matter. Listen to the leaders of your party

1. Not one member of congress stands by her at the press conferences
2. Nancy Pelosi refuses to even acknowledge her in the hallways (HT Drudge)
3. Pelosi also refused to re-instate her senority upon return to Congress

Bottom line - the liberal wing of her own party would like nothing better than to see her leave.

Other than the free ride and harm she does to the country, I'd like to keep her right there. A better example of a "useful idiot" and race baiting tool cannot be found

#38 I happen to be a Democrat, and have stated that numerous times on the 'burg. Pardon me if I haven't drank enough of the DailyKos Kool-Aid to give her, Cindy Sheehan, the Clintons, Howard Dean, and other people in the party an automatic free pass on stupid behavior.

#39 I, for one, spent most of my life in and around the districts where she serves, and "barking moonbat" IS what she is. I know this from personal experience, along with Billy McKinney and John Lewis. Her constituents keep re-electing her because they are the same, sadly enough.

#49 Frank G, great deer in headlights comment lol.

For McKinney to not be wearing her ID and still expect to gain entrance is wrong. For her to ignore the guard's first 3 attempts to stop and question her, then worse yet striking him. She needs to be punished, and shouldn't be allowed to get away with this horrible behavior. How dare she feel she should have special rights to gain entrance, she should be glad that the guards are so good at their job in protecting and standing watch.
This guard needs to be honored for doing his job well, and should press charges. It's not an easy job when you have the likes of McKinney acting like she's above the law.
Besoeker, I'll drink to that. Although I don't think she's a very nice person. The Guinness would help the person having to deal with her, I don't think it would help her a bit. ;)
