The Screwing of Cynthia McKinney

Have you heard about Cynthia McKinney, former U.S. Congresswoman?



According to those quoted on National Public Radio, McKinney’s “a loose cannon” (media expert) who “the people of Atlanta are embarrassed and disgusted” (politician) by, and she is also “loony” and “dangerous” (senator from her own party).



Yow! And why is McKinney dangerous/loony/disgusting? According to NPR, “McKinney implied that the Administration knew in advance about September 11 and deliberately held back the information.”



The New York Times’ Lynette Clemetson revealed her comments went even further over the edge: “Ms. McKinney suggest that President Bush might have known about the September 11 attacks but did nothing so his supporters could make money in a war.”



That’s loony, all right. As an editor of the highly respected Atlanta Journal Constitution told NPR, McKinney’s “practically accused the President of murder!”



Problem is, McKinney never said it.



That’s right. The “quote” from McKinney is a complete fabrication. A whopper, a fabulous fib, a fake, a flim-flam. Just freakin’ made up.

6. Are Democrats ALLOWED to introduce legislation?

I recall the republicans coming up with rather strict rules regarding what the Democrats could do in the House...

[BlueEyedSon]

10. LOL!

[reprehensor]

11. She questioned the "Official" narrative of 9/11.

Is that good enough?

14. Why wait so long to find something like this to do to her?

[Bridget Burke]

12. I doubt she'd introduce any legislation "by chance"

What are you implying by your quaint choice of words?

[Roland99]

13. "by chance" as in "by the way"...common usage.

[Bridget Burke]

15. I get your meaning.

In fact, I got it originally.
