Why oh why do I have to live in Cynthia McKinney's district? Now I find out via Indepundit that 'the cutest little communist in Congress', my Congresscritter, received $13,850.00 from people with Arab sounding names on 9/11. Hmmmm! Don't you think we may want to have an investigation as to whether Cynthia knew sumpin' about 9/11 and kept quiet so she could profit from campaign contributions? I'm not saying she did anything, but doesn't this seem to be coincidental? So let's have an investigation to find out what Cynthia knew and when she knew it.
But the people at Arab News are really glad that she's in Congress for the good of the downtrodden Palestinians and are irate at her treatment here in the United States. In fact, Frances M. Beal, wrote this article titled Peace and justice forces rally to McKinney. Let's take a look.
AIPAC, the American Israel Political Affairs Committee is tasting blood
Frances didn't say if this was Arab baby blood or not, but we all know what she thinks.
with the defeat of Earl Hilliard in Alabama.
Like Cynthia, another rabid anti-Semite financed by lots of Arab donations.
The US Congressman had enraged the Zionist lobbying group by often voting against legislation that one-sidedly favored Israel and introducing a bill to drop sanctions against Libya and Iraq.
Yet another Arab apologist. Good riddance.
AIPAC is now aiming its big financial and political fangs
And don't them Jewish blood suckers have big teeth?
at Cynthia McKinney from Georgia's 4th congressional district. She faces a primary runoff on August 20th, which for all intents and purposes, determines the general election with an overwhelmingly Democrat constituency. Her stance on a balanced Mid East policy
Balanced? Balanced? She is a raving anti-Semite. She also hates white people.
and her outspoken criticism of the Israeli occupation army has enraged AIPAC and it has arranged for hundreds of thousands of dollars to be poured into her opponent's campaign coffers.
Gotta do sumpin' to counteract all them Arab bucks pourin' in. $13,850 on 9/11 alone.
McKinney's black female opponent is a former Judge who was appointed by Sen. Zell Miller, a Georgia democrat who initially appointed this Jonetta come lately to the bench.
Jonetta come lately? I assume that is her version of Johnny come lately, but I don't have a clue as to what she means. She probably doesn't either. She probably thinks she's clever with the Jonetta come lately.
He has joined the AIPAC chorus with an unprecedented assault on Democratic Party colleague McKinney.
Way to go Zell! He is just as embarrassed as the rest of us Georgians. Ol' Zig-Zag Zell, as we called him when he was Governor, has been a pleasant surprise in the Senate. Now if we could just get him to quit supporting Max Cleland in this year's election I'd like him even more.
Thus, AIPAC is joined in this all-sided assault by the local and national apparatus of the Democratic Party because of McKinney's views on peace,
Death to the Jews!
human rights
She hates Jews and white people.
and civil liberties.
Civil rights are only for black folks. Forget about Latinos and other minorities. Also they're dropping support of her because she is a loony and an embarrassment.
The question posed sharply is whether progressives
This is code for black separatism, reparations and anti-Semitism. Don't believe me? Frances is national secretary of the Black Radical Congress.
will permit AIPAC and the Dixiecrats
Frances, there aren't any Dixiecrats anymore. They done hung up their sheets and became racist Republicans.
to foist Israeli policy on voters as the defining issue for the mainly Black district
A little over 50% black. Unfortunately the hard working whites, like us folks here in Dunwoody who pay the taxes, are outnumbered by the blacks and the liberal Emoroids around Emory University.
in the Atlanta suburb McKinney represents. More importantly, will they tolerate AIPAC to further subvert 37 years of struggle to implement the 1965 Voting Rights Act by its use of the discriminatory campaign financing laws to oust an African American woman whose outstanding performance on a peace and justice agenda has earned her the hatred of the racists and the war mongers.
Uh, the last time I checked Denise Majette was also black, so how does this violate the 1965 Voting Rights Act? And as for racists and warmongers, tell me again who killed 3,000 American citizens on 9/11. Tell me who is blowing up Israeli citizens. Tell me who has violated the 1994 Oslo accords. Tell me who walked away from the best deal the Palestinians would ever get and started a terrorist campaign targeting women, children and the elderly. Tell me who entered a house in an Israeli settlement and murdered an eight year old child in her bed. Tell me who cheers the death of civilians. Tell me who just killed five Americans. Tell me who are sick barbarians who deserve to be put in a big ol' cage. Jesus H. Christ Frances this article is one of the biggest pieces of crap I've ever read. Ya got more bullshit comin'? Unfortunately she does.
Months of slanderous assaults
Give me just one example of slander. Just one.
have been directed at this first African American congresswoman from Georgia, including labeling her a "loony"
That ain't slander. She is a loony.
for suggesting that the Bush Administration be investigated for what it may or may not have known and failed to act upon about the tragic events of September 11th.
Here we go again. I'll ask the same question I ask every time some twit like you suggests that 9/11 could have been prevented. Could you please tell me how? The only thing that could have been done to prevent 9/11 was, now read slowly, I'll even put it in bold type single ... out ... people ... of ... Middle ... Eastern ... descent ... for ... additional ... security ... checks. That would be ethnic profiling and you and Cynthia would have screamed to high heaven about that. We can't even do that now when the most likely hijackers will be men of Middle Eastern descent!! And let's investigate Cynthia for receiving $13,850 on 9/11. Maybe she knew sumpin' that could have prevented 9/11 and kept quiet because of campaign contributions.
Even though she has been vindicated by subsequent exposures,
NO!!!! She ... has ... not!!! Give me the proof!!! The only vindication is that the gummint was informed that there might be a terrorist event but not a specific date. That's like saying Cynthia was gonna say sumpin' stupid. We know it's gonna happen, but not sure when. Well, actually every time she opens her big fat mouth so I guess that's a bad example. Anyway, I repeat, we wouldn't have been able to prevent it because of the politically correct ban on ethnic profiling.
the attacks on McKinney's "intemperate remarks" continue unabated.
She finally got sumpin' right. They were intemperate remarks. You don't need the quotes around them.
Black politicians, however, are beginning to feel threatened by outside support of Black stooges and have begun to mobilize on behalf of McKinney, the first African American female elected to the US Congress from Georgia.
She sure does like to emphasize the fact that Cynthia is the first black female elected to Congress from Georgia. So what? I want to see Denise Majette be the second black female elected to Congress from Georgia. And I will vote for her in the Democratic primary. This will be the first time I have ever voted for a Democrat.
The Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials (GABEO) unanimously adopted a resolution on June 22nd accusing Zell Miller of "scurrilous comments"
For condemning Cynthia for her intemperate remarks.
and demanded that he repair his relations with the Black community by offering McKinney "the same respect given to other elected leaders in the state of Georgia."
Respect is sumpin' that has to be earned and the only thing loony Cynthia has earned is the scorn of any right thinking person.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, on the other hand, has been unrelenting in its attempts to discredit McKinney. "[She] has shown herself to be a fringe lunatic, well outside the congressional mainstream," writes Cynthia Tucker in a typical commentary. She asserts that McKinney is "incapable of aiding any cause," and exhibiting an astonishing level of hypocrisy writes, "The plight of the Palestinians and their desire for an independent homeland is a serious cause deserving of thoughtful, mainstream advocates. Hilliard wasn't one and neither is McKinney."
Now what could possibly be wrong with that? It's the truth. And just in case anyone thinks Cynthia Tucker is racist, guess what? She is a very liberal black woman. You got to be a very loony Democrat for Cynthia Tucker to take out after ya. And I don't think the Palestinians should get a state until they decide to act like civilized human beings.
The problem with Tucker's own "intemperate remarks" is that there are no "thoughtful, mainstream advocates" prepared to take up the defense of Palestinian sovereign rights.
That's because to most "thoughtful mainstream advocates" the Palestinians do not deserve any sovereign rights until they quit acting like rabid dogs. The Palestinians cheered 9/11. The Palestinians intentionally target women, children and the elderly.
But there are others, and they are determined to build a financial and political fight back to protect the outspoken advocate that is not afraid of AIPAC's vilification nor its financial war chests.
And that's why Cynthia gets so much maney from Arabs. Did I say that she got $13,850 on 9/11?
Nevertheless, spirit and courage alone do not win campaigns in the year 2002.
And even if they did, it wouldn't help Cynthia since she has neither.
It takes grassroots organizing combined with financial support - lots and lots of financial support.
So far, more than one third of her campaign contributions have come from Arabs or Arab groups. Probably even more by now. And did I mention that she got $13,850 on 9/11?
A national grassroots campaign to provide Cynthia McKinney with the necessary funds to fend off AIPAC's blood lust
Gotta get that blood in there again. Them Jews is nothin' but bloodsuckin' bastards.
has emerged from coast to coast. Peace and justice
and the American way. Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!
forces nationwide are combining with local Black political organizations to draw a line in the sand.
Go ahead, cross it! I dare ya!
Noting, "We must stand by those who stand by us," CAIR-PAC, a Moslem based group has called for its members to "step forward" and donate to McKinney's campaign. "Her victory will also give strength to those other members of Congress
Like Barbara Lee from the Peoples Republic of Berkeley, another communist anti-Semite. And she voted against action in Afghanistan. The only member of the House to do so.
who also want to vote their conscience
Conscience? You think Arafat and his thugs have consciences?
on issues relating to the Middle East" CAIR-PAC concludes. Other Arab American groups are also soliciting their members for financial support for her re-election efforts.
Gotta get as many racist bigots in Congress as we can.
Typical of the peace forces galvanizing support is Just Peace Contacts,
I just googled Just Peace Contacts and got no hits.
which includes many Jewish activists.
Like Noam Chomsky? Don't know if he's in it, but it sounds like sumpin' he'd be a part of. That is, if it even exists. Google can't find it.
They have set an ambitious goal. "Through our networks across the country of Jews, Arabs, Christians and others active in the struggle for Justice in Israel and Palestine,
It all depends on what your meaning of justice in Palestine is. The Arabs' definition is the total annihilation of Israel and all the Jews.
we ought to be able to raise $100,000 by August 1," they say.
Today is August 2. Wonder if they made it? Come on AIPAC! Can ya beat that?
Lastly, a variety of Black websites and free thinkers like The Konformist are also carrying calls for financial assistance as are scores of listserves of racial justice and peace advocates.
Something I've always had trouble understanding. During the struggle for civil rights in the '60's, liberal Jews were right on the frontlines of the struggle. They got beat up in the South for marching with the blacks. So why do blacks hate Jews so much? And, slaveryTMstill exists in Arab and Muslim countries, so why do they love Arabs and Muslims so much?
The irony here is that Hilliard's defeat in Alabama may very well have provided the impetus for Cynthia McKinney to amass the financial means necessary to push back AIPAC's reactionary assault on Black political power in Georgia and on a congressional peace advocate nationwide.
Let's see. We'd be replacing one loony female black Democrat with a sane female black Democrat. Now how does that change black political power in Georgia except for the better?
Currently, Denise Majette is slightly ahead in the polls and Cynthia has gone negative from the get go. See Cynthia Smears Da Judge my Monday post.
Frances M. Beal is a political columnist for the San Francisco Bayview newspaper and national secretary of the Black Radical Congress.
Now why am I not surprised?
