Q: Why did Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) cross the road?
A: Clearly you have your story all wrong, Mr. Racist Interlocutor. As the facts will show, it was the ROAD who crossed CYNTHIA. Because it hates Blacks. And women. And liberal Democrats. And probably puppies, too.*
Though it loves Jews. Stupid Jew-loving racist road. How we loathe you.

To piss on the white chicken?
Q: Why did Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) cross the road?
A: Because she was stapled to the chicken.
Because she got her dick stuck in the chicken.
This is what I don’t get: why is she be putting out both of these arguments, at the same press conference?
(1) That good-for-nothing racist Capitol cop didn’t recognize me; and
(2) That good-for-nothing racist Capitol cop hassled me because of my progressive politics.
Clearly, they can’t both be true. Or is there some aspect of “progressiveness” that allows you to suspend the operation of simple logic?
Translation: I know that only an idiot would strike and officer, but I’m racially obligated to be here.
Where were Danny and Harry when John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were sniping their way into the record books?
George
Not really contradictory as McKinney believes only authentic blacks are progressives…not Oreo’s like Condi.
Remember, be true to your melanin!
The same mindset that leads to statements like “if you deny Islam is the religion of peace, we will kill you.”
The spin on this one is making me nauseous. First she makes an apology while on the defensive. Then after it’s apparent that charges may be filed, she claims “inappropriate” touching, racism, sexism, and anti-“progressiveness” and goes on the offensive.
SHE WASN’T WEARING HER IDENTIFICATION PIN!
EVERY aspect of “progressiveness” requires you to suspend any notion of simple logic.
I heard that there was a witness and there may be video. My money is on the officer being forced to apologize and/or being fired, even with all the evidence pointing to her being in the wrong in this case.
In a sane world someone in the Dem leadership would stand up and tell Cynthia to cut the crap.
There is nobody sane in the Dem leadership. Perhaps she could join the DNC chairman in therapy.
The mace next time.
Never piss off your security, ya dumb bitch.
No she clearly said it is not about the pin, it is about the recognition…too.
I am mostly wrong on predictions, but I don’t think this one is flying. I mean people, in general, are just tired of the being called racist for responding to arrogant, rude, bad behavior just because the person happens to be black.
As in, nothing in your skin color gives you a special distinction to treat people like shit.
Um, howz come McKinney thinks just because she is a member of congress she’s entitled to *recognition*, but a cop protecting her ass isn’t?
Also, I am sure if a police officer recognized some crazy as being a member of congress with no lapel pin, and then blew himself and others up…If McKinney survived she’d be one of the first ones on the steps of Congress screaming about it.
Defense Guy,
The Officer’s Union Pres made a statement praising the officers actions and backing him 100%,
Do you think this factors in any wa?
This woman disgusts me so much, I almost cannot joke about it.
But, I can laugh along.
You wingnuts must be insane. She was clearly abused and tortured; probably by having a car battery hooked up to her testicles. Just look what it did to her hair, man! QED
If I’m not mistaken the principle of Occams razor can be applied here.
Clearly under that principle the security guard (whos making about 9.75 an hour)shoudl have thrown the perp to the floor and gone all Bull Connor on her.
Then all the spinning would make sense.

Maybe, but Cynthia has the power and the race card and she is using both to get her version of the message out onto the airwaves. She is sending a rally round me liberals message and sometimes when you call the mob, they demand blood. And it ain’t gonna be Cynthia’s.
Maybe the officer will be quietly reassinged.
Q: Why did Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) cross the road?
Because the chicken was wearing BBQ cologne?
(that was a bit out of bounds, wasn’t it?)
The more I look at Sweet Cindy’s do, the more I see the pattern of leg holes…almost as if she’d been subjected to PANTIES ON HER HEAD!!!!
The Longworth Building is the new Abu Ghraib. Sorry ‘bout that, Nick.
Defense
I guess I was thinking the Union constituency is not going to be OK with this one, especially since she is accusing him/them of racial profiling and the additional sexism, political and physical abuse for doing nothing but his job.
It is an interesting test(?) for the Dems – not one they are pleased with McKinney for, I’m sure…they need what little is left of union support too.
No telling how this will affect singer Harry Belafonte’s chances of catching on with Van Halen.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
WHO CAN WORRY ABOUT CHICKENS AT A TIME LIKE THIS? HAVEN’T YOU HEARD THE MAN IS TRYING TO KEEP CYNTHIA MCKINNEY DOWN? THIS COUNTRY HAS NO FUTURE IF A RADICAL, RACE-BAITING BUFFOON FROM CENTRAL GEORGIA CANT BITCH SLAP A POLICE OFFICER WITH HER CELL PHONE FOR NO REASON.
FREE CYNTHIA, FIGHT THE POWER
I dunno, after hearing her press conference today on local (Atlanta) radio I am starting to reconsider. She basically took the opportunity to lure the press in, then make a campaign speech and ignore the cop issue, which is further shamelessness, but her speech was kind of pathetic. Here is a Congresswoman on the friggin’ budget committee who is bragging about getting the HOV lane extended on I-20 and more sidewalks built in Dekalb County. Looks like most o’ the pork in District 4 been on Cynthia’s plate, no’m sayin’? So now I am thinkin’ we need more people too incompetent and ignored to run up big spending bills like Cynthia up there in Washington.
Why y’all dissin’ Hillary, yo?

I think the Union bosses will fall in line with what they are told to do by there political masters. In the up is down world, the unions need the Dems to protect them from the evil Republicans who would bust the unions as soon as look at them. Besides once the narrative has been spun, they won’t be able to stick with the obviously racist cop.
I’d like to be optimistic, but in cases like this, it’s difficult. The victim card seems to trump everything else, and the racist from GA plays it well.
their masters and not there masters. PIMF.
Doh.
Defense
You’re right. Another smart person made the same point to me too. Grrr.
When the honorable representative from Georgia quotes precisely like a Goldstein satire, you know we’ve hit another Clintonesque twighlight zone of spin.
What we have here is a target-rich environment.
You can almost smell the fear. Say hello to the big house, baby.
Because zombies like chicken.
Of course, you know, if she had been wearing her lapel pin, and the officer let her through … she would probably be accusing him of looking at her boobs. Sexist pig!
/snark
Because the road itself is a racist metaphor.
Why are roads BLACK in color? And then the road is trodden upon by everyone. The road is a methaphor for the explotation of blacks.
also to add, not sure how the racial profiling thing works since many Democrats are in favor when it singles out Arabs and Arab business.
Why should Black Congresspersons have to wear a badge of White Oppression in the form of a lapel pin?
Concrete roads start off white, and are supposedly superior to black-top roads. They’re more expensive too.
There was a nice pic today, on drudge, of the Distinguished Congresswoman from Georgia. I hope it gets made into a fark photoshop cliche.
Watermellon. Can it cross the road?
And that, right there, is what upsets me the most about this stuff. Playing the race card “well” by simply attributing malicious, racist intent to a target and daring anybody to call you on it. Politicians and the press are hoplessly lost if they can’t stand up and call that smelly pile from a cow’s ass the bullshit that it is.
Tolerance and respect demand that we not punch her in the face for being a complete fool. It says nothing about letting her spew crap into our grinning faces because we can’t criticize a black woman.
Oh, I’m sorry: black congresswoman
BBQ and watermelon jokes. Nope, no racism here, it’s all those evil kneejerky liberals making it up. You guys are all class.
Nothing to say about Cynthia’s playing the race card for beating up on a cop, Mr Silly?
This is not the site for you. We’re making fun of the fact that this has been turned into a racial issue. You, on an entirely different planet, are scouring around for wingnut RACISM!
Oh. And Mustard greens. THAT’S RIGHT, I SAID IT!
One word for her. Taser.
Merely metaphors for race jokes, that’s all, Mr. Crash movie. Neocon nuance.
Porch.
Aww, now that was uncalled for.
Silly; you silly. I laughed MAO at that stuff.
I’m listening to her on Blitzer right now. No joke can compare with absurdity of the woman herself.
I made no apology for her behavior. I merely noted that while you are mocking her (unjustified) invocation of racism, your own racism is showing. I take it you are either unreflective enough to not recognize that, or prefer to use sophistic tricks to avoid the point. Either way, you should take to heart Socrates’ advices, “the unexamined life is not worth living.”
You are right that this is not the place for me. I looked over some other posts. Bestiality, forced jokes, and thin skinned whining are not my thing. Ciao, and remember Soc’s advice.
Ciao in you’re not going to read this. Darn.
But ah, the liberal pedantic, lacking irony, humor, and delivery. How completely unexpected.
Of course, hangin’ dat “Soc” handle on a homeboy, now that be some righteous shit.
Bestiality, forced jokes, and thin skinned whining are not my thing.
Well, at least not the bestiality and forced jokes, eh, Mr. Silly?
[FORCED JOKE ALERT!!]
And thanks for the Socs.
Why did Cynthia McKinney cross the road?
Because a Saudi prince was waving $10,000,000, and if those white people are too damn’ stupid to take it, well, their loss.
And where were all the J-E-W-S on 9/11 anyway?
I made no apology for her behavior. I merely noted that while you are mocking her (unjustified) invocation of racism, your own racism is showing.
Mithter Thilly,
Please look at all my extensive works regarding Ms. McKinney and observe that I have focused solely on her incredible fatness. You’ll then realize that I offered Fat Congresswoman McKinney chasing a BBQ soaked chicken accross the road for these fine people of PW because they all know that BBQ sauce is catnip for fat people and they know that I’ve been harping on McKinney’s girth for nigh on three days now (see “chain reaction of flab-waves).
Imagine our collective disgust when you stumble in and make BBQ sauce a racial issue. Have you no shame man?!? Examine your life this instant sir!
“But ah, the liberal pedantic, lacking irony, humor, and delivery.”
Hey! I resemble that comment. Then again, y’all have the last three down pat, and what material would you have to work with without our excruciating earnestness, after all? Takes a village to make good irony.
thin skinned whining [is] not my thing
Is this some kind of double-ironic Sophistic trick of your own, Mr. Silly?
(’Cause if it is, it’s pretty good! I mean, you’re the thinnest-skinned whiny-est bitch I’ve seen around here in a long time. And that’s including Actus!)
In any event, I am going to take Rep. McKinney at her word and choose to believe Mr. Gaskell’s Option 2—she was hassled by The Man because of her “progressiveness,” clearly. If I know anything about the Capitol police, it’s that they are all flaming anti-progressiveness-ites.
Fo’ Sho‘.
Boo and Nay on the Socs. I’m all about pony-boy.
I’d been wondering why her hair looked like that.
Q: Why did Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) cross the road?
A: If you were to ask her father, it would be because of the J-E-W-S. If you ask me, it’s because she wanted to see how the Zionist Chicken-American population of AmeriKKKa does the holocaust, courtesy of Mazola, buttermilk and a mixture of eleven herbs and spices. That’s all right, though, because in the sacrifice of the chicken we finally see something productive in McKinney’s piehole.
BTW – I DEMAND PIE — BECAUSE OF THE CONGRESSIONAL IDENTITY PIN!!!
One might guess that other black members of Congress–some of whom are not exactly shrinking violets–might support McKinney and regale us with stories of their own run-ins with Capitol police.
The fact we haven’t heard any of that is significant, I think.
Q:Why did Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) cross the road?
B:Because her dick was stuck in Andrew Sullivan.
Didn’t Charlie Wrangel have a 5 minute fist fight with three security guys last year? Or was it Barrick Obama getting pepper sprayed this past Christmas recess? I just can’t seem to remember…
Q: Why did Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) cross the road?
A:Because her dick was stuck in the watermelon.
I, for one, am a Watermelon-Fucker Supremacist. There is no room for racism when your heart is filled with watermelon love.
Drudge has a this link up
Apparently, McKinney has Hayes out to GA often..March 05 for a fundraiser…interesting.
Yeah, well Mrs. Wilson down at Wilson’s Soul Food said the unwashed collard green ain’t worth boilin’, but you probably don’t know shit about that either.
Ha, I prefer Dollar Bill’s advice, the Detroit pimp extraordinaire: “You honkies can keep your grits, greens, mo’ fuckin’ watermelon, and frizied chicken. You bitches betta have my cheddar, or it’s your ass.”
Words to muthafuckin’ live by, yo.
TW: Set. As in “What set is Cynthia claiming?” West Side! Thug life, baby. Its hard to be a pimp in the White House, bra.
The hell you say.
Q: Why did Congresswoman Cynthia McKin–
A: RACIST!!!
It was John Conyers. The Capitol police beat him within an inch of his life and then trussed him up like a Thanksgiving turkey.
All because he refused to wear his Congressional pin. And his smart mouth.
And his progressiveness, of course.
Didn’t you hear about that? It was in all the papers.
One of the great things about this here internet, at least in Goldsteins neck of the woods, is that we are ALL black on a white background.
So if you were an actual race hater, chances are pretty damn good that your rubbin elbows with those you claim to hate.
One other thing, for 51 Ms. McKinney is looking pretty damn good. So it’s a damn shame she happens to be a bigot. She could be such a force for good in her position, looking how she does (minus crazy eye and crazy hair), because despite our best intentions people are still often swayed by looks.
Of course, if you were to actually use proper spelling and grammer.then the force for good would most likely be multiplied.
I’m thinking the modern def. for laziness is the inability to use spellcheck in MS Word.
To which I plead guilty.
I missed the post where Mr. Silly got all irate about your “treatment of jews in these posts.
It puts the oil on the skin! And then it puts on the pin. And then it dances naked and doesn’t answer the door. Because of the moths.
Yes, YES!!!, the fucking moths!
SOMEBODY ANSWER THAT CELLPHONE!
So…cold…KM…went crazy…killing…please, stop the killing!…FOR THE CHILDREN!!!
I dunno man. The woman just looks crazy as a shithouse rat, which I must say is convenient given that she is crazy as a shithouse rat. She looks like she’s been drinking whatever Jennifer Wilbanks has been drinking.
What’s the deal with the bug eyed Georgia girls?
The jig’s up friends.
Street cred trumps speculation. Let it go.
It was a good run.
More pearls from the reality based community.
Ah… but Moe,
He qualifies with “As far as I know”. And with the extent of Gilliard’s knowledge, that statement could be followed by anything. eg. “as far as I know, my opinion is widely respected”
or
“As far as I know, I am not a cockface as some would have you believe”
I had absolutely no idea that Gilliard was a black woman. This is what I get for not paying attention, I guess. And the not caring; I’m paying for that too.
Oh, the embarrassment.
alppuccino, the important thing to remember is that Steve Gilliard speaks for all black people. In fact, the G Unit is blackness. As such, he’s a pro at spotting honkies in black clothing like George Steele, Ken Blackwell and Lynn Swann. He also spots racism everywhere he sees it.
If you ever want to know what black people think, which you can’t possibly know already if you’re white, just pay Steve a visit.
I hear you Pablo, but he obviously Photoshopped McKinney’s head-shot to make her look less crazy.
Wouldn’t that hurt his credibility?
On a semi-related note, apparently the producer of Basic Instinct 2 has declared that the movie’s failure at the box office is a result of George Bush’s influence, turning all into christians who are complete prudes.
Like Congressman McKinney, the movie was too progressive and thus, was demonized.
I’d sure as hell cuff Sharon if she started battering me with her beav.
Huh?….Huh?……..(elbow in the ribs)
Oh and if you’re following along Mr. Silly, I meant nothing by the phrase “the jig’s up” as far as you know.
Man, you don’t know shit about black people. Steve knows black people, and real black people know Steve is where it’s at.
Are you questioning the Steve? RACIST!!!
So I think McKinney, who isn’t a wackjob or a nutter, and who won reelection after two years of Denise Majette, who was a much quieter person, might have a case here.
You’re right Pablo. I mean look at the subtle way that Steve assures us that McKinney is as sane as you or I. His writing is seamless and I’m ashamed for doubting the massive sway he holds.
The Gilliard pen is mightier than the cell-phone-used-as-a-personal-defense-implement.
Willbanks got her starey eyes from plastic surgery, but Mckinney is just a nutty nut-job.
I’m not sure if its some form of familial mental illness, or crack. Aggression, paranoia, and manipulative, “I’m a victim” role-playing show up in cocaine abusers, so I’m not as insincere about the “crack” crack as I might be. In her defense, her Dad was starkers so maybe it’s just her natural disposition.
I seriously doubt any black adult would ignore a police officer. It is just too dangerous to do that. And according to ABC News, she showed her ID.
Uh, yeah – after the cop stopped her.
Key-rist. Don’t you wanna get back to your Sambo photoshops, Stevie? This here’s a little too complex for a simpleton like you.
…so I’m not as insincere about the “crack†crack as I might be.
HONKEY BITCH!
Maybe the officer will be quietly reassinged.
Why? For doing his job which entailed calling out to her several times to stop and then touching her arm? Don’t count on it. Maybe, they should build a whole separate entrance just for Mckinney because she is so damn special.
howe
You hold on to the optimism that this will go the way it should. In this particular case, mine is all used up.
The Wolf Blitzer interview with Cindy McKinney was dissected on Glenn Beck (not a huge fan of GB but it’s all we get out in the country)
She absolutely cried “racial profiling” and when Wolf wanted to explore her claim of “racial profiling” Cindy said “Wolf, don’t twist my words, I never said ‘racial profiling’, play back the tape”.
Mind boggling. What’s with the name Cindy and crazy?
Pretty funny, that: no more Sambo.
Yes, he did a little more than just swap the photo.
True, true. And y’know, I also don’t find the Three Stooges to be prone to antics. Nor the Marx Brothers.
Only vile? Not gobsmackingly vile?
Friend Gilliard seems to be going soft on the right.
Not only am I better than all of you because I’m a non-racist, but I can also name-check some ancient Greeks. BECAUSE OF THE HIPPOCRATES!
Nope, she is more of a stand-up antic’er, seems to me.
I do happen to be a black woman; police have done nothing to me, but non-police types of men–both black and white–have been the recipient of some of my humble self-defense techniques. Just saying.
TW: why [insert question]
The Hill today leads with an article about Pelosi & McKinney not speaking to each other. It is apparent that the Dems are distancing themselves from this incidnet.
No support from her collegues. Except from this staffer:
Notice that she “clearly wasn’t intending to assault (him)”. So since she didn’t <i.intend</i> to assault him, his racism obviously made her do so. So it is his fault that she hit him.
I went swimming in the sewer (comments section at John Cole’s site) and was pleasantly surprised that almost all of the comments were supportive of the Police Officer. There were a couple of idiots blaming the Officer for doing his duty.
