Former U.S. congresswoman McKinney speaks on state TV in Libya
May 21, 2011|By the CNN Wire Staff
A former U.S. congresswoman slammed U.S. policy on Libyan state TV late Saturday and stressed the "last thing we need to do is spend money on death, destruction and war."
The station is fiercely loyal to Moammar Gadhafi and her interview was spliced with what appeared to be rallies in support of the embattled Libyan leader.
"I think that it's very important that people understand what is happening here. And it's important that people all over the world see the truth. And that is why I am here ... to understand the truth," former Rep. Cynthia McKinney said during a live interview.
She said she was invited to Libya by the "nongovernmental organization for fact-finding," adding that she intends to bring more people to the country soon so that "they too can understand."
NATO warplanes have been pounding military targets since March after the U.N. Security Council approved a resolution to protect civilians by any means necessary as Gadhafi's forces try to quash a nearly three-month revolt against the leader's roughly 42 years of rule.
Gadhafi's government has repeatedly urged the international community to send fact-finding teams to Libya to report what's happening on the ground.
At one point during the interview, state TV cut to what it said were live airstrikes, hitting Gadhafi's compound.
"Is that a bomb?" McKinney asked.
"I want to say categorically and very clearly that these policies of war ... are not what the people of the United States stand for and it's not what African-Americans stand for," she told state TV.

Someone set us up the bomb.
What’s scary is there are people IN THIS COUNTRY that at one time voted for this loon.

“”What’s scary is there are people IN THIS COUNTRY that at one time voted for this loon.””
AND they’d do it again if she ran....
I bet she has a new Lexus now.
Did NATO have the co-ordinates of her interview? What a missed opportunity.
She is going to go to jail if she comes back here.
She is a nut. And she is not very bright.
But in this case it is right. I have no clue what this war is about or why we are involved in it.
It seems we are flying all over the med, blowing up counties whenever and where ever we want. Yemen, Libya, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, involvement in Egypt, Bosnia, hints at involvement in Syria, and these are just the wants we know about.
And in the middle of all this, Bozo throws a bomb at Israel and gets that all stirred up.
He is the most war-hungry Peace Prize winner in history. Obama says: “I never met a war I didn’t like.”
I don’t know if he wants a world war, but if he does or not, he is doing a great job of getting us there.
She been usin Don Kings hairdresser. Finger in a light socket.
Nope, she has a melanin-based shield to defend her from all ethics violation charges.
I doubt it. She belongs to a protected class.
My libinlaw is a classic example of T Sowell’s observation that the left sees their elected leaders as some kind of supermen who are by definition morally and intellectually superior.
After she stated that, indeed, she DID believe they were morally and intellectually superior, I asked her if she’d ever heard of Maxine Waters, Shelia J Lee, or Cynthia McKinney - she said “no”.
(Yes I _know_ that they’re all of the same ethnicity - I can’t help that they’re all also THE prime examples of STUPID congressmen.)
Why don’t they keep the crazy witch..She has always been a trouble maker..just like the rest of her democrat brothers and sisters..

The RCP calls for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government...
From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :
"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.
And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":
I saw this nutcase at the airport in Houston. She was wearing a canvas hat with a brim. It covered her “fro” and I would not have known it was her but she looked at me and I saw the eyes. No doubt it was her. She would have to wear sunglasses to travel incognito.
Ah, “Buckwheat’s daughter” always brings back fond memories!
