#1 Sounds like a basic statement supporting the party platform. The Democrats don't openly oppose Israel - yet.

#3 So they let her out on a pass?

Is she medication compliant?

Is she still nuttier than a nutmeg crazed squirrel?

#4 One of McKinney's more bizarre conspiracy claims is that several thousand black convicts were massacred in Lousisiana after Hurricane Katrina. Interestingly enough, her tale bears a striking resemblance to an episode in Harry Turtledove's alternate history, The Victorious Opposition. This is set in the 1930s, in a world where the Confederacy won the Civil War and lasted into the 1940s.

The number of victims is the same, about 5000, and they are almost all men. In both cases, the victims are trucked into a swamp and shot, and their bodies left unburied. In both cases, there is a huge cover-up and dark rumblings in the rumor mill. McKinney attributes this to federal authorities, while in Turtledove's story the atrocity is the work of Confederates launching a Holocaust type genocide against blacks. The Victorious Opposition was published in 2003, two years before Katrina and 4 years before McKinney made her claims.

#6 That's why Israel supplies USA with replacement organs that we're harvesting from Palestinian children, Cynthia.

Please! No more comparisions to manure. Perhaps we could all be in agreement that it serves an organic, useful purpose.

#10 Atomic Conspiracy, do you honestly think that Cynthia McKinney reads tedious alternate-history potboilers? Hell, I *like* alt-h and I can't get through Turtledove's cookie-cutter "slot stock character A in thinly disguised variant on out-of-period historical event B" books. I think I gave up on that particular series just before the Victorious Opposition, if only because it was getting so that I could have written the outlines ahead of time before even opening the books.
