So Scarborough was up after Keith--making fun of McKinney and

[Horse with no Name]

her loss in her bid for re-election.
Basically telling her to suck it up and take it. Quit whining already.
Why don't these Neocons tell Joe the same?:shrug:

[evlbstrd]

1. Because she is black.

She may come off as nuts, but worse than Joe?

[LittleClarkie]

17. And Joe lost 'cause he's Jewish

Yessiree.

Neither is exactly sucking it up.

[evlbstrd]

20. In the good ol US of A these days,

blacks are still easier targets. Sure McKinney comes off badly, and so did Lieberman. But Lieberman didn't lose because he's Jewish.

2. I saw how he was making fun of her.

I had the volume muted but you could tell that's what he was doing. And the whole time he was talking about her, he didn't bother to show one pic of the guy that defeated her.

4. The HUBRIS of him denigrating another Congressperson

is astounding.
The only thing I could think was how can he stand there and denounce her when they found a dead intern in HIS office?

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

16. THAT was quickly forgotten, wasn't it?

Maybe he HAS to be a hack for the right.

3. they say it in a different way...

usually involves jail time...or a bad accident.

5. She has Black Panthers supporting her

Did anyone see the video of the fight outside after the primary? One of her supporters said, "The whites and the Jews got what they wanted..."

I guess that is what you can expect when you have the Black Panther party supporting you.

6. she's not playing with a full deck

(neither is lieberman). both are sniveling little whiners, except cynthia has a goon squad "protecting" her. what a drama queen...she doesn't realize no one gives a damn about her.

8. Please speak for yourself.

I'm not included in your blanket statement.

[EFerrari]

10. Why do you even need Republicans? n/t

[stillcool]

14. wow....enlightened...

but by who?

[stillcool]

15. aren't they wonderful?

ah....reminds me of the good old days....sure is nice to see people showing their true colors.

7. what happened to her was unfair--and designed to shut her up

I believe the police staff at that building did not like her because of who she is and used their limited power to demean her by asking for her credentials routinely.

By asking for her credentials they were telling her that she did not belong, and that no matter what her position they had power over her.

I'll bet they bragged about it in their lunch room and plotted their actions. And she knew it and got fed up. And responded inappropriately.

And her response cost her the election because the Bush propaganda machine (ie the press) use every opportunity and exaggerate ten-fold to make the left look crazy (Howard Dean, Bill Clinton, now Cynthia Mckinney.)

You suggest: "Shut up and take it." That is the response the neo-cons hope for. And usually get by people who do not see the bigger picture and the grand design (or vast conspiracy).

9. You don't understand.

I don't suggest "shut up and take it".
It was what Scarborough was saying.

[Evergreen Emerald]

11. I read your posts alot...and I know that you are not that type of person

who would suggest that she shut up and take it...I also (tho not very elegantly) was just responding to the Scarborough message...

I am sorry if I offended you.

[Horse with no Name]

12. ahhh I see

:blush: Sorry.:hug:

[Evergreen Emerald]

13. no prob.

;-)

[Iniquitous Bunny]

18. Wow, maybe she did something REALLY bad.

Maybe they found a dead intern in her office...

Oh wait, that was someone else. Who was that, Scarborough? :think:

[okieinpain]

19. well she did look really bad. she should have tought about

losing when she was acting an ass in DC.

[oasis]

22. Most folks "act an ass" when they get disrespected. But you don't

have to worry about Hank. Oh no.

[Norquist Nemesis]

21. That's nothing! Tweety told Ned to his face he "can't support him"

I was so pissed that he even HAS a show! #@)(*&#%)@#*&%#(@*%&#@(*%&@#(*%
