Representative Cynthia McKinney Watch: Georgia GOP Seizes on McKinney
GOP tries to link foes to Cynthia McKinney, escorted Monday by Tony Lane.
AJC (Via Donkey Cons): State GOP seizes on McKinney
U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, already in the spotlight for striking a Capitol police officer, became part of the Georgia governor’s race Monday.
The state Republican Party painted McKinney as “the face of the state Democratic Party,” while Democrats accused the GOP of resorting to “gutter politics” for trying to use her as an issue at the outset of the campaign season.
Ok, it seems that McKinney is a loose cannon that the Democrats are either afraid or embarassed to support.
Political observers say it’s just the opening round in what will be a volatile campaign season with the control of Congress, the Legislature and the governor’s office up for grabs.
McKinney has had a penchant for making headlines since her election to Congress in 1992. She accused President Bush of having prior knowledge of the 9/11 terror attacks and doing nothing to stop them. She has backed the Castro regime in Cuba. And after her 2002 loss to Denise Majette, her father, a former state lawmaker, blamed “J-E-W-S” for her loss.
Donkey Cons blog has put together some of her extreme political views:
- 1. Help Haiti;
- 2. Aid the Palestinians;
- 3. Kiss up to Castro
- 4. Free Mumia;
- 5. Save Tookie (win some, lose some);
- 6. Blame Bush for 9/11;
- 7. Collect contributions from radical Muslims;
- 8. Get campaign cash from out-of-state donors;
and, most importantly … - 9. Honor Tupac Shakur.
Flap thinks this may be the beginning of the end of Representative McKinney’s political career.
Stay tuned…….
