McKinney: “’White sale’? What kind of honkey cracker Jew racist bullshit is that?
“TELL ME MY PEOPLE: IS THIS THE PRICE WE OPPRESSED CONGRESSPEOPLE OF COLOR HAVE TO PAY FOR SHOPPING WHILE BLACK?”*
****
More from Allah (see also, here) and Ace (see also, here); also, Captain Ed.
And Bareknuckle Politics has video of Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover showing their solidarity with McKinney.
Which, ever wonder when Glover really will be “too old for this shit”?*
update: Heh.
I am SOOOO disappointed with Glover. I’ve always liked him as an actor, and I’ve known he was a moonbat for some time, but THIS is low.
More like “shoplifting while black.” You know, white people are never persecuted for things like that. Well, except Winona Ryder.
I mean, it’s not like a white person would be HOUNDED like this for nothing more than hitting a cop, would they?
blblblblblblblbl
I’ll say it:
McKinney is a RACIST BITCH!
SHE HATES WHITE PEOPLE.
SEXIST!
That “Lethal Weapon” cast sure has churned out some interesting political opinions these last few years, haven’t they?
Gonna have to side with McKinney on the inappropriate touching defense.
After all, touch McKinney anywhere and you’re still touching a boob.
Tell it to Zsa Zsa, bitch.
OK, who knew that she was Paris Hilton’s great aunt?
Allah…it’s like watching Big Papi take BP. And yet, I want Michelle back. You ever consider blogging?
Does anyone know what the Estevez family take is?
In all honesty, I doubt that she really does. She is just an utterly shameless, amoral demagogue pandering to her base. Now alot of them do hate white people, but they mostly just want their money.
You should be, because he is as much of a dick as she is to people just trying to their jobs.
I left a comment at JOM about it, but he was on a flight my mother was on (Flight Attendant) and they hit turbulence, everyone including FA’s told to sit and strap in, he ignored and got up for the bathroom, strapped in FA told him he needed take his seat until the captain said. He looked at her, ignored her continued into the bathroom —
—She is required to tell people this – because when the hit their head in the potty, they sue and say “the FA didn’t say anything to me” and so on—
As he walked out of the bathroom he snarled at her
I just had to take a F******* SH***, is that OK with you
Nice huh?
You gotta realize that a lot of moonbatty celebs are that way because they are damned embarrassed about their success. They feel they faked it. They then get very vocal about stuff they know little about to prove their ‘human’ creds. So you get “I kant spel werth shit” Babs thinking she’s a foreign policy expert, Martin Sheen thinking a stint on West Wing really DOES make him President, and Cameron Diaz emoting on Oprah that a vote for conservatives will legalize rape.
These are the kind of people who believe a public demonstration of their ostensible “moral concern” absolves them of the petty indecencies they visit on a daily basis against the “little people.” Hey, a nice march in the morning with NION and Mommy Sheehan then go back behind the locked gates and scream at your assistant or throw things at your housekeeper.
Wait a minute! we’ll need you for questioning!
Come back here! You’re under arrest, Missy!

That’s pretty pathetic, but I can see that happening.
A lot of rich and famous people are famously rude. I wonder if that’s a cause or a result?
Maybe I should try being a complete prick all the time, see if I get rich and famous any faster.
As Chairman of Soccer Hooligans for Cynthia, I feel it is my duty to urge all Yanks to shut your gobs.
As fellow members of the Oppressed Whatever Community, we are in full solidarity with our mocha sister.
What kind of world will we be leaving for our children if we can’t prang a copper whenever we get our wind up?
So, again, just back right off.
Or we’ll burn all your cars.
And allpuccino- That’s funny stuff.
tw – I “wish” for this fish to wind up in the can.
Ha ha! You crack me up, Jeff. Too freaking funny. Of course, it helps to have material.
I love how Belafonte opens with a comment about how he’s “not here to speak to the merits of the case” and that he’s not sure if “injustice has been done”, yet he then closes with a hope that “Ms. McKinney not be abused again”.
Bizzah.
Sadly, Pablito, not only did I know, I remember that Zsa Zsa was married to Connie Hilton.
But it’s more like “great grand-aunt” — Zsa Zsa (Hungarian for “Suzy”) was Paris’ grandfather’s half-sister’s mother.
Frightening, innit?
Look, this situation seems to be quite simple.
Members of Congress are allowed to go circumvent the metal detectors, which this cop would not allow Rep McKinney to do, regardless of whether you consider her a racist or not. On the other hand, as is apparently quite common, she did not happen to be wearing her Congressional lapel pin at the time, so the key fact question is whether she informed the policeman when he tried to stop her that she is in fact a member of Congress.
Another point—apparently, as a not-at-all-sympathetic-to-her article in Slate in 2002 pointed out, there has been a history of police stopping Rep. McKinney and denying her the metal-detector bypass privelege.
Checking her ID is not denying her the privilege of bypassing the magnatometer. And whether that’s what happened or not, it isn’t justification for battery.
You don’t get to hit a cop because you think he’s being unfair.
Cross posted from, Dumb Looks Still Free. I doth steal from myself.
Yet another fine post by Mr. Z at Bloviating Zeppelin! This time on Rep. Cynthia McKinney (Moonbat – GA) and her little racist tirade at being caught Princess while Representative. And I wish that Ms. Mckinney were only an APRIL Fool, instead of a year round one. So, while very tired today, I could not murderize an entire encyclopedia, and so settled for a mere Doomsday book. Again, posted as-is, no extra carbs, guaranteed to be fully Atkin’s approved and definitive as to why a continuous charge of one thing indicates something even more pernicious:
And so it is!
Racism, racism! Separate from those racists into your racial groups…
Oh, yea and verily *someone* is racist…
And when you point that finger out, Ms. McKinney, rightly three point back at you with that same charge. And as you offer nothing better to build the Republic you shall only have the effect of a racist in your life and that is how you shall be rememberd if at all. For that last finger reminds you of your fate if you offer nothing better to the Republic.
And you offer nothing at all, Ms. McKinney. A prime ZERO in life.
Save for being a racist and racial segregationist doing NOTHING to bring harmony to the races in this Republic.
Thanks for nothing, Ms. McKinney. Nothing at all….
Cynthia… who?
Already history turns the page and such racism shall only devour itself.
Rep. Cynthia McKinney (Racist – GA)
She went breezing around the checkpoint, the cop didn’t see her well/recognize her, the details aren’t clear. He asked her to stop so he could check her, she ignored him. Be aware at this point he is talking to her back. He asked her to stop again, she continued to ignore him. He then chased her down and physically stopped her until she could be identified. So the answer to your key fact question is No. My key fact question is: is Al Quada now recruiting fat, crazy ass lookin’ black women to use as suicide bombers at the Capital?
I’ll have to remember that tactic next time I’m in D.C. and don’t want to go through the metal detectors. I’ll just TELL the cop that I’m a member of Congress, and he’ll just believe me, right?
oh, i don’t know, i’m sure they recognize all 535 members of congress and their staff by sight. cause they’re there every day right?
although it should be noted it’s dangerous to come between McKinney and a camera, so you’d think she would be more readily recognizable than most, but then, maybe those guys don’t watch tv.
Maggie  By that standard, they’d have to cavity-search Kerry every (whatever) time he deigns to show up…
Paging Actus…
So what does the law say respecting assault on an officer?
Now there’s a happy thought.
Now there is much speculation about the specifics of the incident.
Members of Congress’ staffs are not the same as members of Congress, especially nationally known ones who have been in many terms. Whether or not the policeman asked to see her ID or whether she said she was a member of Congress and he assumed otherwise or what, I don’t know. But the tendency here is to move the goalposts of the facts and the rules around (it would be QUITE different for a member of a Congressional staff, eg) and there is reason to believe that there is greater problem on the part of DC police in recognizing McKinney than in the case of most members of the House of similar tenure and visibility. That issue is simply assumed away.
Like Danny Glover, I withhold judgment unless and until these particulars are truly clarified, as opposed to being assumed. And I can understand, even if not endorsing, how someone who is systematically not accorded the same respect given to other members of Congress (apparently specific to her and not to black members of the House generally, suggesting the issue might be political rather than strictly racial) might indeed lose their temper.
You don’t see such ungenerosity of judgment when, with FAR less provocation, RWers are aggressive, whether in Congress or in other venues.
goalpost moving? okay, name the 535 people you know on sight. from the numbers i’ve seen congresspeople work maybe half a month at a time and spend the other half in their districts. (quick search, turned up an article here)
have you read the article that was linked? what part of this is unclear?
cloudy sez:
No it isn’t. I accept the possibility that McKinney gets a hard time from the cops because she’s an asshole to them. I’ll believe that all day long. They can’t tell her to pound sand up her ass, but they can be sticklers for the rules where she is concerned, and that may be what’s happening here and it may be entirely of her own making.
The assumption being made here is McKinney’s: I’m getting a hard time because I’m black.” That’s supported only by McKinney’s race baiting faith, not by the evidence.
The other fact you’re looking right past away is that if McKineey was wearing her pin, we wouldn’t be talking about this because it wouldn’t have happened.
First, some examples of this would be nice. What Repubs have battered someone without censure? Second, how generous is your judgement of the cop who was simply doing his job?
Click on “crazy ass” link from my post @8:37 yesterday, you can see first hand the treatment that McKinney and her minions find unacceptable.
*Members of Congress are allowed to go circumvent the metal detectors, which this cop would not allow Rep McKinney to do, regardless of whether you consider her a racist or not. *
Now the only question is, how much jail time is appropriate. Hopefully, the prosecutor that gets the case will have some balls.
