Excuse Me While I Whip This Out - updated

Cynthia McKinney has never been accused of being smart. Neither has she ever been said to go one step out of her way to avoid controversy. She could be accused of being a certifiable wacko. She should be accused of being a hate-monger. She should be accused of whipping out the race card as often as Jesse and Al and the other race warlords.

For now, the only thing she is officially accused of is smacking a police officer who was doing his job. Whether or not she goes on trial for slapping the officer will be decided by a grand jury.

For those of you lucky enough to be ignorant of Ms. McKinney's greatest hits, a quick review.

- She claims the government sells crack cocaine to inner city residents
- Her father claims Jews have purchased the government
- She claims blacks who are Republicans have had all of their 'black blood' extracted
- She claims Al Gore has a low ‘Negro tolerance level’
- She called her election opponent a part of the Confederate Army, while her father (again) smeared him as a “racist Jew”
- She calls the President a calculating war profiteer
- She has claimed President Bush had prior knowledge of the 9/11 attacks
- Anyone who dares oppose her on anything is immediately labled as racist
- She was first elected to Congress by a gerrymandered district that was heavily black, set up by a Democratic state congress. When the Supreme Court declared the district unconstitutional, she informed us the Court was racist, and she claimed the case was engineered by a Georgia company in retaliation for her anti-business stands.
- She said she was most willing to accept money from the Saudi prince who blamed the US for 9/11
- After Katrina, she said the FEMA director should be charged with negligent homicide
- She has been fined for campaign violations

We could just keep going on and on with her antics, but suffice to say she is not the most stable of people. Yet some people in Georgia keep sending her back to Washington. Maybe they just don’t want her in Georgia…

So now that you are acquainted with Conspiracy McKinney, let’s get to the latest news.

Ms. McKinney refuses to wear her lapel pin which identifies her as a member of Congress. She tried to just breeze around a metal detector, which is allowed for members of Congress. A policeman does not recognize her and asks her to stop so he can verify who she is. So far, does this sound familiar? It happened in 1992, to a congresswoman from Georgia by the name of Cynthia McKinney.

Hey, Santayana was right!

Back to the present. McKinney ignores at least two requests for her to stop to be identified, continuing on her merry way, oblivious of the common people. When the officer grabs her arm to get her attention, she whacks him.

Later, here she comes, whipping out that favorite of hers - the race card, calling the officer racist. She will whip out the ole race card on anyone at anytime for any transgression. Why, the entire DC police department is racist. Heck, everyone is racist, except our little miss Cynthia.

Let’s review again. She refuses to wear a pin that would identify herself. She walks past a guard and around security measures in one of the most heavily guarded cities in the world. She refuses to stop when asked by the police. When stopped, she assaults the policeman.

And he’s a racist?

I guarantee you that if I were to hit a policeman, I would not be awaiting results of a grand jury to see if I would do pokey time. I would be sharing a cell with a rather large man who probably would not like me very much. Why is she receiving special treatment? Is it her status (class discrimination), or could it be because she is black (race discrimination)?

Stay tuned for more from the wacky Conspiracy McKinney.

UPDATE

Well, now. Conspiracy McKinney has come before the august body that is the Congress and apologized for the assault. This is quite a far cry from her earlier proclamations. How do you get from 'he's a racist who attacked me only because I am a black woman' and 'this is all about my new hairstyle' to 'oops, my bad'? Does one apologize for being the victim of racial profiling, as she had claimed yesterday? In 24 hours, did the incident really turn from "inappropriate touching" to "a misunderstanding"?

On top of all this, while she was on her way into the building to make her apology (for being the victim of a racial incident, I guess?), her new bodyguard, who is rumored to be a retired Georgia State Trooper, got into a physical confrontation with a reporter and is reported to have said, "I'll put your ass in jail, I'm a police officer." When questioned further, the bodyguard supposedly admitted he was not with DC police, but would not identify what force he belongs to.

Sean Hannity will have the video tonight on his show, and you can also watch it here.

The handwriting is on the wall, Ms. Conspiracy. Your fifteen minutes are up, and your antics are no longer playing.
