Cynthia McKinney: Victim of being in Congress while black This has especial relish for me since I am one of her many long-suffering constituents, which is to say, a resident of her Congressional district who isn't among the brain-damaged minions who actually voted for this crazy woman. But first things first. McKinney is said to have hit a Capitol Police officer in the chest when he stopped her from entering the building without going through a metal detector. As usual, and ever thumbing her nose at authority, she wasn't wearing a lapel pin identifying her as a House member. For most of her colleagues that's not too big a concession to make to "the Man" in exchange for a little security. But then most of her colleagues aren't hopeless racial victimhood addicts whose perception of "the Man" involves white robes and pointed hoods. McKinney's lawyer, James Myart Jr., whose every word was as predictable as the movements of the stars in the firmament, said this: "Ms. McKinney is just a victim of being in Congress while black." I don't want to say that strains credulity, but if black folks are really being mistreated for "being in Congress while black," then one would expect to see members of the Congressional Black Caucus getting gang-tackled on a regular basis by racist security officers. Funny thing is, I haven't heard about any complaints from any of them. "Congresswoman McKinney," Myart said further, " in a hurry, was essentially chased and grabbed by the officer. She reacted instinctively in an effort to defend herself." The problem with McKinney "reacting instinctively" is that the Congresswoman is a walking, talking bundle of racial paranoia and emotional pathologies on an interminable hunt for any excuse to accuse someone of racism. For such a person to react instinctively is rife with ugly possibilities. So ate up with this malady is she that she once said that "Al Gore's Negro tolerance level has never been too high. I've never seen him around more than one at a time." I don't know what the context was, but is it even possible there could have been one such that the statement was anything other than crazy? One can only imagine what important business she was in such a rush to get to when security stopped her. Here's a couple of examples of the kinds of urgent matters she's dealt with for the American people in the last year or so: 1.) She chaired a Congressional hearing last year "on whether the Bush administration was involved in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001." 2.) Introduced into the House of Representatives the Tupac Shakur Records Release Act of 2006 "for the purpose of fully informing the American people about the history surrounding the life and death of [gangster rapper] Tupac Amaru Shakur." In addition, she has long been known for things like advocating for disastrous Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe, cozying up with and receiving campaign donations from all kinds of terrorist sympathizers, favoring Palestinians over Israelis and for having a blatantly anti-Semitic father in the Georgia State Legislature whose prejudices may have rubbed off on her. If anybody's a victim, it's her rational constituents who didn't vote for her and are sick and tired of being embarrassed by this wack job who is an utter disgrace to the Congress, the country and the human race.

I simply don't believe the ingrained response to someone touching your arm is to attack them without looking. Does she expect us to believe that this is "a black thing"?
Does the representative expect us to believe that she moved past the guard and then was completely surprised when "someone" grabbed her arm? She didn't have any idea that it might be the guard she just completely ignored?
The sad part is that the guard is probably going to be "talked to" and sent to racial sensitivity training. Ultimate, everyone will just have to let this woman pass, whether or not she follows the rules, just to "avoid a racial incident".

Another excellent post!!!
My heart goes out to all of her consituents. Mostly, I sympathize with her hairdresser. That individual alone seems to be responsible for the frightening reaction by Capitol Police.
Why she looks like Tempest Beldsoe in the fading seasons of the Cosby Show!
A white male in Congress would never have been stopped and certainly not touched in an inappropriate manner.
It's so disgusting how so many white supremacists are going after her when they should be calling for an investigation of the Capitol Police.
I bet the security guard was double-dared to touch her boob. Seriously, thanks for bringing this to the attention of the rest of us in such a humorous manner.
There are over four hundred members of Congress.
Maybe she assumed she didn't need to wear her pin because people would recognize her in spite of her rediculous hair cut due to her popularity?
I wonder if she's more upset over not being immediately identified and waved through than she is about the supposed arm grab.
So, this is what we know:
1. Rep. Cynthia McKinney CHOSE not to follow the rules of the U.S. House of Representatives; and
2. She defied a lawful order of a police officer who then, as a part of his job, attempted to prevent her from continuing on her way until she IDENTIFIED HERSELF and showed that she had lawful business on the premises.
Does that pretty much cover it?
She should be arrested, tried and convicted - of being an asshole if nothing else!
