the more I find on her, the more she comes across a "traitor" to her own country, am I wrong?

No, and she is a traitor to her race by being such a caricature of a shrill, dumb, hectoring clown. To speak bluntly. The good black people I know wince when her name is mentioned.

How in the heck did she get elected?

Again, to speak bluntly? Her father ( Bobby? Not sure ) was a State-level legislator here and helped carve out a gerrymandered "protected" district so she was virtually guaranteed election & re-election.

..""a huge booming voice coming from nowhere, and at the same time from everywhere."<<

Are you SURE this isn't Jocelyn Elders? She sure has the same I.Q.

You know, I generally have an allergy to tinfoil, but that list is stunning and creepy. All you browsing FReepers and lurkers out there, be sure to look through the whole thing. Nearly every contributor listed has an Arabic name.

I noticed also the concentration of donors from the DC-NVa area - remember the FBI raids a couple of weeks ago? And also a very large concentration of donors from California.

Some FReeper home with a sinus infection today could do useful service by methodically running these names on Google and letting us know what comes up.

BTW, is this the same Representative who was "dissed" by President Bush early in his administration, when he toured a military base in Georgia with several Senators, Representatives, etc. and didn't invite her (I think the base may even have been in the district of the non-invited Congressperson). If it was her, it's now perfectly clear why she wasn't invited (though I think poor Bush was pressured into apologizing for the "omission").

Like biting on tinfoil ( excuse the analogy! )-- I noticed the weird "clustering" too.

Well, Cynthia wants "investigations"-- let's give her some!


I'd run a web search but I'm tied up with housework today- come on, FReepers, and lend a hand!

Some of the view document links to Anglo sounding names go to documents with different names and amounts. The names on the documents are also Arab sounding names but the amounts of $$ don't match . It looks like they have a problem in their data base with the images documents themselves.

If you want the 2000 election cycle go to http://www.tray.com/cgi-win/x_itoc.exe?DoFn=H2GA11016MCKINNEY,$CYNTHIA00 While she still had a lot of people with Arab sounding names there is a major difference in the % over the current cycle. In the earlier cycle it looks like it was only about 30% and now it's closer to 90%. This link is to the 98 cycle and it's less than 10% Arab sounding names.http://www.tray.com/cgi-win/x_itoc.exe?DoFn=H2GA11016MCKINNEY,$CYNTHIA98

Granted we aren't through the 2002 election cycle and their are fewer donors 157 vs. about 380 in the two prior cycle the differences in where she's getting her individual contributions is striking. Also very few of her contributions anymore are from Georgia. Again this is a striking change in her typical pattern

I'd think her hometown newspapers would be interested in her funding for the current cycle and the comparison with the prior cycles. The local talk radio stations as well.

The extra info is appreciated. Local talk radio would probably be a good venue for thrashing this out.

A good talk show host to send all info. on her would be Boortz - he talks about her on a regular basis and HATES her. nealznuze@cox.com

Looking at this list is enraging! Nearly all of her contributors are Arabs, presumably Muslims. She has the gall to say President Bush is culpable for the terrorist attacks on America?

She accepted $4000 on September 11th from Abdurahman Alamoudi, the president of the American Muslim Council. I think someone has some explaining to do, d@mn!t.

I'm fairly sure I sent Boortz a link to an earlier post- I have heard him talk about this very issue, and it is covered on his site.

No agrument from me! It's disgusting. I have sent an earlier version of this story to a pile of papers and talk show hosts- and I have heard that it was mentioned on CNN ( well, not the donor list! )... for whatever that will be worth in the long run.

McKinney asked her collegues to close their eyes and "imagine themselves going faster and faster into a black unknown." Then, she said, they will see a "bright light," and hear "a huge booming voice coming from nowhere, and at the same time from everywhere."

We've all shared this experience....

when we were kids and went into the FUn HoUSe at an amusement park.

I guess she was traumatized by the experience and still has flashbacks to those days.

(When Kofi Annan, the U.N. secretary general, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize a few months after she attended the U.N. conference, however, McKinney, ever the loose cannon, denounced the award as "an insult to the millions that died at the hand of the U.N. in recent years.")

As much as I hate to admit it, she got this one right. See Peace - UN style.

Neal Boortz is good, and another one I have been keeping track of that does listen to Freepers is Sean Hannity. Sean & Allan had a representative of Cnythia McKinney on just a couple of nights ago, right after they got slammed with E-mail about her.

Even Allan would not defend what she said about President Bush and his father they thought she was either on or crossed the border of "slander"). If enough Freepers keep sending the Information you have on her, she will get an "Investigation" just not the one she wants.

As one can see from her list of contributions we will become a Muslim country. There breeding is out of control along with their hate and rage and our tolerance of them is crazy. They will control Europe in twenty years through birth rates and cowardice and voting power. We a re next unless we go nuclear!!!!!!

It gets even worse- here's another list of her fine band of "supporters"-- where's the "watchdog press" on this? Where's the hue & cry for investigating Cynthia?

-Some of McKinney's Supporters--

Neal Boortz

Just FYI, I just received an email requesting I stop sending him "links to Free Republic!" and so I not only will remove nealznewz from my lists, I'll make a point of boycotting his show and tuning in his rivals in the same time spot. Too bad. So sad. Plenty of other talk shows to listen to...

I'm sorry to hear this about Boortz. I'll continue to send him articles, but leave out the FR web links. Wonder why he feels that way? Oh well, if he gets the info. on the radio, that will help.
