Personally I don't get why conservatives were against her. She's a total whackjob and that's obvious to anyone with more than a room temperature IQ. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd rather have an incompetent clown as my opponent than someone who might actually be able to accomplish something.

I hope we see as much of her as possible between now and the election.

Frankly I was hoping she would win, and become even more assertive, I want to put a wooden stake in the heart of her party.

At least Lamont won.

Let's go to the video tape....soon!

I tells's ya...

Here's some of the live feed being replayed:

earlier in the day her bodyguards had scuffled with a cameraman from the same NBC affiliate.

Sounds like her bodyguards are as psycho as she is.

>>As of this writing, police were still investigating the incident. <<

Update - Atlanta police said this evening they don't expect to file any charges.

>>"It's kind of like 'he said-she said' — or, in this case, 'he said-he said,' " said DeKalb County police spokesman Jason Gagnon. "I don't think, based on what they're saying, that there would be any charges from us."<

I have to make this clear. In last week's column, I recalled the bright and personable Cynthia McKinney I knew back in 1990. And it's not my place to summarily judge her in 2006.

WTF??

Is the writer afraid of a legal suit? What a bunch of crap. It's gotta be a disclaimer of sorts.

[demsux]

She'll continue to be the "street walker" and service the public...

Neil Boortz was trying to get conservatives to cross over and vote for McKinney - I couldn't do it - she is dangerous - do we really want her on the foreign relations committee?

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

McKinney crisscrossed the district throughout the day in a white Hummer, all the while refusing to allow the approach of the public or media, the lot of whom was fended off by these menacing guards.

That's a sure-fire way to impress the constituents. It's the ole "I'm a rapper with an entourage, get out of my way or get your ass kicked" routine. She's must've taken lessons from Al Gore's image consultant.

I'm sure she'll be villified by the MSM like Mel Gibson for his outburst. Likewise, I'm sure the Democrat leadership will apologize to Democrat voters...../sarc

The MSM was writing up her "pass" just as Cynthia's goons were shouting anti-Semitic remarks at a FOXNews producer... Then they handed her the pass as a hired thug referred to white reporters as "MF'in Crackers"... Yeah, if Republicans had acted that way, the MSM wouldn't have covered it either... /sarc

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Uncle Tom, Crackers, etc...

And the reason she needs more protection than the President is what?
Good Grief.
She's going to one very unhappy woman when she's just an ordinary civilian again.

[okie01]

Let's just hope it is her "final" demise, never to have her coffin re-opened, a wooden stake pounded thru her heart, etc.

I wonder, does McKinney still have that Professor of Government gig at Cornell?

Perhaps she should go and annoy Ithaca for a while...

[hsalaw]

And it's not my place to summarily judge her in 2006.

Oh, heck, why not? The voters certainly did. And this author can sound very pious ("not my place to judge her") but clearly did so in this article.

[ExTexasRedhead]

You mean there's hope that the American people will realize what a loon Murtha is, what a loon Queen Hillary is, what a loon Lamont is, what a loon Kerry is, what a group of loons the entire Liberal Democratic Party is?

[Ticonderoga34]

I knew when McKinney lost she would have a meltdown. It appears most main stream media outlets decided not to cover the event or report on it.
