Capitol Hill police on Monday asked a federal prosecutor to approve an arrest warrant for Rep. Cynthia McKinney for her role in a scuffle with a police officer last week, the prosecutor's office confirmed.”

“This fervor which you white boys display in heaping ridicule upon a black woman is a bit unsettling.

Racism is far from dead in the U.S.”

“You're heaping ridule on us white boys.

Racism is far from dead in the U.S.”

“Stove...trust me if she is NOT in Washington she is "Doing the job we want her to do."”

“It ain't ridicule Sarge, just observation.

You do a fine job of making a hinny of yourself.

Disrespecting women on a public forum is also cause for concern.”

“I was just observing her too. Stop disrespecting men on a public forum.

”

“Disrespecting women on a public forum is also cause for concern.

Hey, violin practically begs for it!”

“lol - BUSTED!”

“You're a magnet for negativity, Sarge.

You get what you deserve.”

“Now Now, Mutt....
There you go again holding Libs to the same standards they hold everyone other than themselves.....
LOL”

“MarkO - If I'm a magnet for negativity it's b/c I'm the opposite of negativity. Opposites attract ... and stop disrespecting women.”

“That's real weak, Sarge!

Even taken out of context that is nothing but a joke.

It looks like you went running off like a mad little boy to find something for a little payback.”

“Sarge, why don't you post some of my "disrespect" for Lyra.

Oh man, I have really layed some horrible stuff on her!!

Its about time I really get BUSTED!!!”

“HEY I have to stand up here for Sarge. I am certain he is a big supporter of the woman's movement...especially when we are following it down the street!!!!!”

McKinney Admits Misusing Taxpayer Money

POSTED: 3:40 pm EDT April 3, 2006
UPDATED: 3:57 pm EDT April 3, 2006

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Cynthia McKinney admits that she broke government rules by spending money to fly a celebrity to Atlanta.

Channel 2 Action News has uncovered documents showing McKinney, D-Ga., spent about $1,000 of taxpayer's money to fly singer Isaac Hayes to Georgia to help dedicate a new office in Atlanta.

The money came from a fund members of Congress are supposed to use for office supplies.

Using the money to pay for Hayes' airline ticket and hotel expenses is a violation of strict congressional rules. Those rules state that taxpayer money can only be used for "travel by Members, Members' employees and vendors. A vendor is an employee of a private company that provides maintenance and support for equipment and software..."

Watchdog groups call taxpayer-funded celebrity travel a blatant waste of taxpayer money.

McKinney staffers say they will reimburse the congressional fund for the cost of Hayes' flight and hotel room.

===========



What the heck is she flying a rich guy like 'Chef' to Atlanta?
I guess those 'science' guys and Tom Cruse took all his money.
LOL”

“I agree wholeheartedly with Buck.


As for Sarge and Stove: At the very best, you two are fools. Likely much worse.”

“Stove, how did Chef get through security in that new life support system??? (That was a good episode HUH?)”

“Coming from you, lee, I consider that a high compliment.”

““This race card stuff is getting really old. I'm surprised they still play it when it's so obvious and absurd. We all want what is fair and just, and to use common sense regardless of race. She should've just stopped when asked and simply showed ID and moved on. You don't run from or ignore security while entering a building filled with Congresspeople. You just don't. I don't care what color you are.”

A resolution to commend the U.S. Capitol Police department

Two House members will introduce tomorrow a resolution to commend the U.S. Capitol Police department, which Rep. Cynthia A. McKinney accused last week of racial profiling.
"The 1,700 officers of the Capitol Police force risk their lives every day protecting constituents, staff and members of Congress," said Rep. Patrick T. McHenry, North Carolina Republican. "The right thing to do is to commend these men and women. They deserve a pat on the back, which is more appropriate than what they've gotten lately."
The resolution, by Mr. McHenry and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, Florida Republican, which could be voted on this week, comes after increasingly harsh accusations by Mrs. McKinney, the Georgia Democrat who was stopped by Capitol Police last week for bypassing a metal detector.
Also, the Capitol Police today requested an arrest warrant for Mrs. McKinney over the incident. A representative for the U.S. Attorney's Office, which must approve an arrest warrant, said officials were considering whether to file charges.
No warrant had been issued as of this afternoon. A felony charge of assaulting a police officer carries a maximum five-year sentence in the District.
Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, a Capitol Police spokeswoman, said only that the department "has referred its investigative findings to the United States attorney."
Members of Congress are not required to go through the metal detectors at Capitol entrances, but officers did not recognize her because she had recently changed her hairdo and wasn't wearing the member's pin that identifies her.
Once stopped, Mrs. McKinney swatted the officer with her cellular phone.
"This whole incident was instigated by the inappropriate touching and stopping of me, a female black congresswoman," Mrs. McKinney said during a press conference last week at Howard University. "I deeply regret that this incident occurred, and I am certain that after a full review of the facts, I will be exonerated."
She was "just a victim of being in Congress while black," said her attorney, James W. Myart Jr. "Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, like thousands of average Americans across this country, is, too, a victim of the excessive use of force by law-enforcement officials because of how she looks and the color of her skin."
Mrs. McKinney continued her defense with a press conference earlier today in Atlanta.
"Racial profiling is a well thought out and planned attack on black political leaders," Georgia state Rep. Roberta Abdul-Salaam. "It's going from the gold dome down to the White House. It's happening, and it's wrong."
Mr. Diaz-Balart said the police should be commended rather than condemned.
"Every day, they exhibit honor, courtesy and professionalism," he said. "This resolution highlights and thanks the hardworking Capitol Police for the work they do in maintaining security around the Capitol for all members of Congress, staff and visitors."”

“REP. DELAY: 'Cynthia McKinney is a racist. She has a long history of racism. Everything is racism with her. This is incredible arrogance, and -- that sometimes hits these members of congress, but especially Cynthia McKinney'...”

“This is so cool! Delay is GONE, by November he will no more of a memory than The third runner up at American Idol. The Dems will be trying to cover up the McKinney Racisim charge. Their big points will be "It racist" charge and "we oppose them".

Gonna be a great year for Third Parties I hope.”

“Man, the US capital (not capitol)police have a hell of a job herding pigs and water buffalo. You big party voters should be proud of your stock. When you going to wake up and join a party that will get rid of 75% of these worthless animals.”

“http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,190833,00.html

[snip]Meanwhile, McKinney, made a formal apology on the House floor for the incident, saying "there should not have been any physical contact."

"I am sorry that this misunderstanding happened at all, and I regret this escalation, and I apologize," she said to applause. McKinney also said she would support a House resolution introduced by Republicans to express appreciation for the work done by Capitol Police.[snip]”

“I guess the race card didn't work so well for her this time.”

“I say let the cop have swing at her and call it even.”

“I guess everybody can move on now.”

“No, an apology doesn't stop a grand jury indictment. If anyone of us would've done what she did, we would've been in jail. It deserves to run its legal course.”

“"If anyone of us would've done what she did, we would've been in jail."

Very true.
Never swing at a cop. They always get in the last punch, punch, and punch. Just as it should be.”

“Get real, in a time when the whole country is full of crime ,insurgent aliens taking over and a war happening that is totally a joke you want to spend time and money on this stupid crap--- no wonder this country is falling apart. You should be happy if this ends as it is.I know that is hard given who this is and how she handled this,but”

“so basically forget about the rule of law because there's important stuff happening elsewhere.”

“I think she may have made a "Clintonesque" apology.

That is, by saying ""there should not have been any physical contact.""she leaves open the question of whom is to blame for the physical contact.

I think all reports agree that the Capital police officer grabbed her first.

I think she did the minimum she needed to not be ostracized by her party. And that's all.”

“Now it seems her "body guard" threatened a reporter. (LOL) She done gots a POSSE huh? What's wit dat?

http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/dekalb/stories/0406natmckinney.html

Violin, how do you think we should cover this radical abuse of power. Imagine say, a Republican accidentally shoots a hunting partner...now would they eve deign to call for his resignation? NOT intentional shooting, an accident.

IT is hilarious becuase it shows the bankrupt duplicity that is the liberal socialist party”

“That sounds about right, now that I think about it, lee.”

“XL - Go back and read the Cheney biz. I only thought he shouldn't have tried to cover it up and never called for his resignation. You seem to be confusing me with someone else.

You can stop with the 'socialist' buffoonery. It makes you look like an idiotic dittohead.

“... and while you're at it, review this thread and tell me where I ever made any excuses for McKinney's actions.”

“I like the way violin reinvents his positions on the fly.
LOL”

“And you make unsubstantiated claims of anti-Semitism and don't have enough decency to apologize, ass-hole.”

“LOL. Stove...I am used to it.

Violin, you gots to remember I was reading better stuff than yours from Pravda in the 1970's and 1980's.

I realize that you rile at the term socialist just like Henry B Gonzales used to hit people who called him a communist.”

“I should add a 'LOL' or a winky face.”

“unsubstantiated ????
Read a few of the links.
LOLOLOLOLOL

I agree with lee, she hasn't said she was sorry for hitting the cop.”

“How do you like the term 'dickface' XL? You don't like it? I guess it hits close to home, huh?”

“StoveStomper - Not one of those links had anything about her being an anti-Semite. They did mention a few things her father said. You understand the difference, right?

I'm less concerned about you smearing her, than your smear against me.

I realize that many people who have met you think you're a swell guy.

Right now, based upon this one issue - you tarring me with the 'Jew hating' brush - I think you're a tremendous jerk off.

Got it?”

“LOL@violin....Big boy voice inside Violin.

did you just call me a pee pee head????? THATS IT, I AM CALLING MY MOM WHO WILL CALL YOUR MOM...and BOY will you be in trouble (LOL)>

Trust me dude, "Oh what I wouldn't give to be called D*&kface." (bad paraphrase of "Life of Brian".”

“- you tarring me with the 'Jew hating' brush
LOLOLOLOL
Read what I typed genius.

Hell, I posted it twice.

I'm still waiting on you to say you are sorry for all the racist smears you have made against me and many others on this site, but I'm not holding my breath. LOL”

“I took the AA battery from my digital clock and replaced it with a 9V DC-no more hard to read numbers. It just says ,'Beer time'.”

“Wait, let me get this straight. This is a fuego thread, and someone is concerned their name is being "smeared"? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! Oh, that's good, that's too much. Whew! Good schtuff right there, yes it is. We Fuego-ites are a sensitive type, the kinder, gentler side of Trail Talk. Group hug. It's all gonna be okay.”

“violin, you didn't used to be this angry - usually you were the proverbial duck's back. now, it seems, you're going the way of buddha bear. what gives?”
