Just once I’d like to see the race card stay in the deck. Shame on you, black leadership, for supporting her shameful actions. Wear your darn button, go back to the braids, and lose a bit of weight and this would not have happened, CM. A simple smile and explanation would have gone a long way and probably gained you a new friend. Instead, you’ve made GA the laughingstock……again.

That's it.

I'm going to lie down.

I started to respond to that, but my brain exploded.

I'm having nervous tics, too.

1. I'll bet whoever wrote that wouldn't say it to McKinney's face!

[Atman]

2. And if she'd just have had the good sense to be a white male!

Her problems would be solved!

[acmejack]

3. I was hoping it was tongue in cheek...

alas

[MadMaddie]

4. The racists come out from under their hoods don't they...

this is the climate in this country....Mckinney knows it...

Yea..she may have done something stupid....(may have being the operative word) but what the hell does her weight and hairstyle have to do with the issue at hand...black women change hairstyles as often as the wind blows...I do...

This kind of stupidity will eventually have a reaction to it...

22. thing is her hair was short a little while

before this happened. I saw her myself and her new hair style looks great. (In other words I think this cop had seen the new hairstyle and that's no excuse) Your right it is the climate. I don't see how the cop couldn't recognize her.....I could of and would of it's called paying attention and a cop of all people not to be paying attention? Come on now

I stand by Mckinney and personally I love the fact that the right can't stand her! Bwaaah! haaa! Ha!
For years Limbaugh has been feeding the ditto heads 'hate Mckinney minutes' it's just par for the course with the right wing hate heads.

Meanwhile, their boy Delay is going to prison and he isn't going to seek re-election.:evilgrin:

5. Ugh, and I don't mean the boots. nt

6. She made a great point on Wolf Blitzer tonight

She said watch CSPAN and you will notice that MOST of the congress critters don't wear their lapel pins.

[Jigarotta]

7. about those pins...

I didn't realise until today when Cynthia was on the Wolfie show. She said that pin has no name, no picture - it's just a piece of jewelery.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Yep I heard that too

This is starting to look more and more like some racist cops playing games with her.

[Jigarotta]

21. tho I wonder if...

maybe the pins are 'chipped' or something?

I mean wouldn't it be a lot easier to fake a piece of jewelery than an ID piece?

[acmejack]

8. You don't wear the damned pin on your back!

[BlooInBloo]

9. Two words: VANESSA HUXTABLE!!!

:rofl:

;)

Take a break - recharge. We'll hold the fort down.

[Catherine Vincent]

10. Okay, I don't get the joke.

[CatWoman]

12. LOL

when she wore her hair in braids, she looked like Vanessa Huxtable :D

[MuseRider]

11. Go lay down.

Nobody should have to read crap like that.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

13. If I did what McKinney did to that cop, I'd be in jail right now.

Or out on bail. And I'm not black. Or do you believe that because I'm white I somehow have special rights of being allowed to deck cops in Congress?

[CatWoman]

15. what I do believe in

is that my weight and hairstyle, much like Cynthia's, is no one's business.

WTF does her hair and weight have to do with anything?

Are we now going use that criteria as a sign of guilt?

[Generic Other]

14. Can I slap Donna with my cellphone?

Help her make a connection? Buy a clue? Find her head shoved up her rear end?

[CatWoman]

20. !

:rofl:

[Just Me]

16. We should be going after the evil, persecutory stone-throwers!!!!

I am so damned sick of this total bullshit!!!!

The RIGHT-WING DESTRUCTION MACHINE is at it, again!!!! Hitler's rolling in envy at this evil. When are these fuckers gonna' get the screw?!?!?!

:grr: I'm just so pissed!!!

[ShortnFiery]

17. Yes, it must be her fault. Not!

[Fleshdancer]

18. She changed her hairstyle back in January

How long of a grace period do people need to notice someone when their hair is *gasp* down?

Idiots. :eyes:
