Nets Ignore Cynthia McKinney Entourage’s Election Night Meltdown

If a long-time member of Congress lost a primary battle for re-election, and his/her campaign entourage shouted racial epithets at reporters and about her opponent after defeat, do you think this would have been on the evening news? Well, if said member of Congress was a Democrat, the answer apparently is “no,” for not one of the broadcast networks felt it was newsworthy to report Tuesday evening's events involving Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Georgia).

For those that haven’t heard, McKinney’s campaign entourage now includes members of the New Black Panthers. After her primary defeat Tuesday to Hank Johnson for Georgia’s 4th Congressional district, some of these folks went on a bit of a rampage referring to white reporters as “crackers,” calling her opponent an “Uncle Tom,” blaming her loss on Israel, and shouting anti-Semitic epithets at a Jewish reporter

What a classless whore.

Saw that last night on Fox. Im waiting for the political arena to step in and crucify her for the anti-semitic, racial spews said by her "security". Hey, if Mel can get his ass chewed for comments he made under the infuence, surely she will get a tongue lashing....or not.

Me or CK? ;-)

I don't entirely disagree -- we have lost the poster child-- your point well taken

BUT....
We have also disposed of her goofball camouflage for others who are doing real damage -- Reid(NV), Biden(DE), Clinton(NY), Durbin(IL)... et. als...

Let's just keep peeling back the layers --

Like the old bull said.... let's walk -- and get them all!

[pissant]

ROFL!!! Touche

[Wings-n-Wind]

P.S. to Nevada....

Puhleeeeze..... Puhleeeeze..... Puhleeeeze.....

DO NOT give us another CARTER...

Thanks in advance...

Yep, but she's female, black, and in politics... She meets ALL the requirments the media needs not to touch her.

[Atlantian]

Neal Boortz has asked her to do one of his radio shows. Now that would be good.

[pissant]

You left out that she's a democrat and anti-american and speaks ebonics.

The wonderful, classy Dr. Condoleezza Rice gets nothing but scorn from the lying leftist sacks o' shiite in the press.

[IronJack]

Because of the ultimate form of racism, the bigotry of soft expectations. In the elite's mind, that's just the way blacks act, they aren't to be held to a higher standard.

Cogent insight.

[Sir Gawain]

Put it on YouTube.

Some McKinney video is already on YouTube. A local NBC station is showing it. The reporter is Donna Lowry, and she's rationalizing it. She says it's the medias fault for the microphone hitting the person and the McKinney group felt like they needed to keep the media away so they were pushed back.
None of the offensive language is on the NBC video.

You're fogetting Jesse Jackson's comment on NY as "Hymie Town"

[Lancey Howard]

I think she should run as an independent Democrat.

[pissant]

They still do for traitors. Now the justice department needs to start some serious prosecutions of such vermin.

Video for viewing pleasure, with thanks to Ms Underestimated.

Next to her entourage, McKinney looks sane.

BUMP for later viewing.
