Scarborough, Wonkette smear, ridicule McKinney

[Gabi Hayes]

I watched as much of it I could take.

Scarborough called her the CRAZY congresswoman who PUNCHED, that's right, PUNCHED at capitol hill cop. he said he didn't respect her, unlike his pal Tom DeLay, who, he said never lied to him in seven years on the hill.

he brought on Wonkette, who repeated the punch charge, and they yocked it up over how CRAZY McKinney is. They accused her of saying on a radio show that Bush knew about 911 in advance, and that it happened to line the pockets of his daddy and his pals in the Carlyle Group.

I'd like to know the substance of that alleged radio accusation, and since yesterday, unless something's changed, that nobody's saying she PUNCHED a cop anymore.

Did that change? If it didn't, I wonder if they'll be any outcry. Not holding breath, cause this is EXACTLY what people here have predicted/observed: plant the crazy/violent meme. then, when it's disproven, ignore it.

and....FFFFF that skeevy ho, Wonkette. Her smarmy, snarky evisceration of McKinney was one of the most disgusting performances I've ever seen: she made this funny joke....."what if the capitol police KNEW in advance she was going to hit one of them, and did nothing about it?" now THAT's comedy, folks.

anybody surprised that Dead Body Joe would stoop to such a level to smear somebody?

3. somebody PMed me this....what she said on the radio, apparently

The September 11 X-Files

On March 25, during a Pacifica radio interview, Representative Cynthia McKinney, a Georgia Democrat, said, "We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11.... What did this Administration know, and when did it know it about the events of September 11? Who else knew and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered?" McKinney was not merely asking if there had been an intelligence failure. She was suggesting--though not asserting--that the US government had foreknowledge of the specific attacks and either did not do enough to prevent them or, much worse, permitted them to occur for some foul reason.

Senator Zell Miller, a conservative Democrat from her state, called her comments "loony."
House minority leader Dick Gephardt noted that he disagreed with her. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer quipped, "The congresswoman must be running for the Hall of Fame of the Grassy Knoll Society."
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called her a "nut."

Two months later, after it was revealed that George W. Bush had received an intelligence briefing a month before September 11 in which he informed told Osama bin Laden was interested in both hijacking airplanes and striking directly at the United States, McKinney claimed vindication. But that new piece of information did not support the explosive notion she had unfurled earlier--that the Bush Administration and/or other unnamed parties had been in a position to warn New Yorkers and had elected not to do so.

looks like she did NOT say anything close to what Scarborough and skankette said last night, and I'd say the Nation mischaracterized it, too.
