Remember the Cynthia McKinney wars?

[CatWoman]

Memories......................

Mike Malloy just talked about her fabulous, fantastic perfomance yesterday questioning Chertoff:

McKinney roils hurricane panel

Washington --- Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) asked Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff on Wednesday why he shouldn't be charged with negligent homicide for the federal government's apparent failure to save more Hurricane Katrina victims.

Pulling out a series of news reports as she questioned Chertoff during a House committee hearing, McKinney read the headline: "Nursing home owners charged in deaths," in the case of 34 residents who were not evacuated from the floodwaters in New Orleans.

"Mr. Secretary, if the nursing home owners are arrested for negligent homicide, why shouldn't you also be arrested for negligent homicide?" McKinney asked.

"It seems that chaos was the plan that was implemented," she said of the administration's slow response to the catastrophe. "Leadership, Mr. Secretary, was lacking."

1. Leave to a Black woman

to be the only person on Capitol Hill with the guts to tell the truth. I want her for President. Whatcha think our chances are Midori?

[CatWoman]

4. Mike says he plans to write her name in on the ballot

:hi:

:loveya:

[liveoaktx]

23. VIDEO of her with Chertoff

24. Liveoak

what would we do without you?

THANKS!!!!

[Helga Scow Stern]

30. Thanks! She warms my heart.

[Helga Scow Stern]

33. Who is that idiot bully from Texas, Bonilla?

He tried to dismiss Cynthia's questions as "over the top."

Jerk off. May he rot in hell.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

42. Idiot * sycophant.

I saw him on the Daily Show once, pre-election, and he repeated the tired meme of Kerry being the most liberal senator. When Jon Stewart asked him about the source, Bonilla kept saying "I just heard it somewhere, it's true," or something to that effect without answering the question.

[FreedomAngel82]

32. And add

a little black woman from the deep south. I loved when she confronted Rummy. ;) I would love either Boxer/McKinney or Pelosi/McKinney. Any of them three. They're all fabulous women and McKinney takes names and kicks ass.

[tatertop]

2. She is absolutely wonderful

[gumby]

3. Yes, CatWoman, I remember that time.

Cynthia McKinney is a brave patriot and becoming one of my few heros.

[CatWoman]

5. Lots and lots of grenades thrown

bloodied noses, swollen eyes, split lips, several tombstones.

And I'd experience it again in defending her :D

[Pithy Cherub]

6. Last night C-SPAN showed it and she was outstanding. She even

got coverage on the local Los Angeles stations. Chertoff's facial reaction was priceless. And the republican (Buyer, The idiot from Indiana, that accused the LA Gov. of forgetting to add New Orleans on the emergency declaration and found out later BUSH forgot) marched his hoity toity self right down to Chertoff and DEMANDED that he see the documents. It was hilarious! :rofl:

CM was an Avenging Angel and wearing white too! O8)

[confludemocrat]

21. she's one of the few conressmembers who's worth a damn n/t

[cantstandbush]

7. MeKinney was right all along. They paid outsiders to unseat her.

The very same cabal is controlling our government from inside Cheney's office. I hope the Plame incident takes them all down as they have taken down our country. Bush and the evangelicals don't have a clue!

[CatWoman]

8. and the cabal was led by Zell Miller (D, Moron)

[400Years]

9. I sent her money when she was running

she is one of the very few true fighters in the house

she rocks!

[Tim4319]

10. People called her crazy for calling the admin out about 9/11!

She was talked about harshly when she challenged Bush on the the whole 9/11 disaster. I hope she does not let up on any of these people. I hope every chance she gets, she let them have it.


Go Cynthia!

[CatWoman]

11. a lot of people on this website ran with that shit, too

"People called her crazy for calling the admin out about 9/11!"

[Tim4319]

20. You are absolutely correct CatWoman.

I distinctly remember reading some negative post here in DU nation about Cynthia McKinney.

[donsu]

12. she has always had my vote

wishing her stamina and excitement

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Hooray for Cynthia!

[jonnyblitz]

I caught the tale end of those. the DLC types on here didn't like

her, particulary that Carlos asshole who is no longer with us. She has always been one of my favorites. I used to love listening to her when I would see her on C-SPAN back in the 90's when I used to watch C-SPAN all of the time. I was SO glad to see her back in office again. :thumbsup.

[CatWoman]

19. A lot of us adopted the "grassy knoll" meme

in support of her :D

Carlos...........my that name still makes me chuckle.

Turns my brown eyes blue :D

[MisterP]

25. and how mum the DLC "loyalist" groupies went after it turned out

that St. Majette the Nonentitous DID get money from the GOP--more than those darn librul Green bugaboos.
But would YOU ever win in Indiana??!!! I swear, I think that man wanted to bear Evan Bayh's child.
But enough sullying with giant wooden horses--great job Cynthia, and if Majette could run for the other big room in the Capitol, so can you!

[Just Me]

14. She is truly exceptional. I admire her a LOT!

Here's to you, Cynthia!!! :toast:

[charlie]

15. She gave the BUSH KNEW meme national traction

all by herself. Those words were printed on the cover of the NY Post. And her compadres left her hanging. And plenty of knuckleheads here gnashed and wailed about her ruining the 2002 elections. It was fucked up. Utterly fucked up.

[klook]

38. Trouble is, she never said it.

See my post below:

[charlie]

16. Dupe *delete*

reeeeally bad connection to DU these past couple of days :(

[understandinglife]

17. Super leadership, as always, from Rep McKinney.

Peace.

[RepublicanElephant]

18. cynthia's a real american hero.

she could teach neocons the true meaning of freedom and democracy.

[Kurovski]

22. K & R.

Recommended to give McKinney her due.

And she makes damn good points.

[TheUnspeakable]

26. k+r from me too-I LOVE THAT WOMAN!!!!!!!!! N/T

[Marie26]

27. Cynthia McKinney is my hero.

Really. It's so nice to know that there are leaders who are willing to tell the truth as they see it.

[CatWoman]

29. and she is both my and Mike's Congresswoman

:D

[Marie26]

35. Lucky! I'm jealous n/t

[FreedomAngel82]

28. I just love McKinney!

She and John Conyers are both amazing. I just love them both. :loveya:
I'm grateful we have McKinney in Congress. Too bad she and Conyers aren't in the Senate.

[texpatriot2004]

31. She is not my Rep but she SOOO speaks for me. I admire her

so much. Go McKinney!

[flying_wahini]

34. do you think we can order a couple of hundred more like her?

she is a voice of reason.....

[grace0418]

36. Cynthia McKinney ROCKS!

I want her and Barbara Boxer in 2008. This country would get cleaned up fast.

[klook]

37. By the way, Cynthia NEVER said "Bush knew"!!!

She is a great, hard-working representative, and really stands up for her constituents.

But she never said that Bush had foreknowledge of 9/11. Read this article by Greg Palast. At one time, Palast was offering a reward to anyone who could prove that Cynthia McKinney said Bush knew about the 9/11 attacks ahead of time. Anyone who thinks they have the proof should get in touch with Palast: http://www.gregpalast.com/contact.cfm

[Zhade]

39. Yeah, I remember all the lies and slander from Israel-firsters here.

Idiots, all. Dishonest and reliant on rightwing tactics.

But the best part? She got her seat back, in a hearty fuck-you to the rightwing and its ignorant enablers.

Go McKinney!

[TroubleMan]

40. That's why she's in my sig.

nt.

[IndyOp]

41. Kucinich/McKinney in 08 - I can dream, can't I?

The feelings of hope and love are overwhelming....

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

[In Truth We Trust]
