McKinney, Johnson trade barbs again

The closer Cynthia McKinney and Hank Johnson get to Tuesday's runoff, the nastier the race seems to be getting.

At a community forum Thursday night in North DeKalb, the two candidates for the Fourth Congressional District again traded barbs in their efforts to secure crucial votes.

And for one of the first times publicly, Johnson took off the gloves. After McKinney accused him of being under the thumb of Republicans because of the money he has gotten from GOP-leaning donors, he struck back.

"I can accuse her of being under the control of terrorists, but I won't" Johnson said, because of the money that her campaign has gotten from Muslim interests.

I did a title search and didn't see this posted. If it's a duplicate, I apologize..

Worth repeating:

"I can accuse her of being under the control of terrorists, but I won't" Johnson said..."

I would rather have an ignorant liberal than an intelligent liberal in office. Vote McKinney!

"I can accuse her of being under the control of terrorists, but I won't"

"I'm not going to call my opponent mentally unbalanced, but..."

"I can accuse her of being under the control of terrorists, but I won't" Johnson said....

It would be incomplete to make such an accusation. What Boortz calls the "cutest little commie in Congress" seems to worship tyrants like Castro and Chavez every bit as much as terrorists.

I can't wait. I've already got the popcorn. The debate they had earlier this week was quite humorous. My wife and I couldn't help but laugh at McKinney's oh-so-fake smile.
The hatred she has for those who oppose her came searing through the TV screen as she looked directly at it when she stated that "The Republicans have put money into Mr. Johnson's campaign in an attempt to unseat me, a person who speaks truth to power." LOL I love to see her get pissed off. I just wish that she had to debate someone with much sharper debating skills then Hank Johnson.

"She said that the United States shouldn't be giving support and arms to Israel to fight against Lebanon, and their fighters who are "throwing rocks.""

Rock-ets Cynthia...ROCKETS! Not Rocks. Rocks are what your head is full of! You dummy!

[auto power]

Cynthia McKinney is as much of an embarrassment to the State of Georgia as Julia Carson is to the State of Indiana......

[Armedanddangerous]

That was the best line...I admit..

Although it is still a Democratic primary, McKinney continued to paint Johnson with a Republican brush.

The above practice was a time honored tradition/neccessity, since reconstruction days. From a time when Robert E, Lee could not have gotten a vote running as a Republican, all candidates ran as Democrats and winning the primary was considered being elected. Everyone voted in the Democrat primary and later voted their party line.

It was "The Southern Strategy" that finally broke the pattern.

Did any papers in Georgia publish her list of donors?

[4yearlurker]

Whats next for McKinney,Say if she doesn't win she will commit suicide?

[seanmerc]

"Intelligent" and "liberal" are not often used in the same sentence.

[patton]

Is the internet countably infinite, or uncountable? And does the countable chain condition imply that it is compact?

(wierd mood).

I just consider myself fortunate that the internet is connected.

[SandyInSeattle]

speaks truth to power

That is the most irritating phrase leftists use. What the heck does it mean, exactly?

[patton]

Me, too - although I suspect that it is isomorphic to the Cantor Set.

[AmishDude]

You're too much into analysis. Think more in terms of graph theory.

[patton]

A critical path exists? Hmmmmm. Echelon.

She has a very ticked-off, vengeful look about her as if she's about to strike her opponent!

[meandog]

Excoooze me, but duz shoe hab any spare change?"

""speaks truth to power..", That is the most irritating phrase leftists use. What the heck does it mean, exactly? "

In the case of Cynthia McKinney, it means she has had a cranial rectal inversion. Or in layman's terms, her mouth muscle is no longer connected to the brain and has reconnected itself to the sphincter.

Actually, it means she is comfortable enough in her arrogance to allow her mouth to spew out non truth in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

I like him already.

Cindy, once again, fell back on the (everyone should have to be subjected to the same) security issue by replying that all the pages in congress had to know each and every congesscritter. I wonder how many of the pages she could recognize and call by name--but then, they are just "little people" and she's a queen in her mind.
