While Muammar Gaddafi grows ever more desperate as he loses key military support, former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) is shamelessly serving as a propagandist for the Libyan tyrants regime.
Venomous remarks recently made by the former six-term congresswoman on Libyan state television were deeply disturbing, to say the least. Among her many outbursts, she charged that America is spending money on death, destruction and war. The fact that these comments were broadcast on Libyan state television, which serves as Gaddafis mouthpiece, makes matters all the more reprehensible.
Yet such behavior by Cynthia McKinney should come as no surprise. It is, in fact, demonstrative of a definable historical pattern. McKinney is part of a long Western leftist tradition of progressive sycophants traveling to adversarial lands in an effort to undermine America.
In 2009, for example, McKinney traveled to Libya and praised Gaddafi, calling him a global leader and thanking him for reaching out from Africa to the entire world. As she fell over herself to laud this mass murderer, a man who is widely believed to have ordered the bombing of Pan-Am Flight 103, she equated Americas economic system with bondage.
After her most recent Libyan rendezvous, McKinney traveled to Iran for what was billed as an anti-terrorism conference. There, she claimed to have been politically assaulted by American advocates of Israel during her time in Congress.
McKinney also propagated the anti-Semitic myth, widely believed in the Muslim world, that it is mandatory for U.S. Congress members to pledge allegiance to Israel. Much like her longstanding assertion that the September 11th terrorist attacks were part of a U.S government conspiracy, such cancerous falsehoods are readily used by jihadists to garner support for their cause.

Gaddafi pays well.
Oh but she’s not merely Gaddafis.
is it too early in the rhetoric to ask for her to be hung for treason?
Middle east you can keep her. I hear she likes her sex rough.
I don’t think she’s even useful.................
I have to say, Cynthia McKinney is too much of an idiot to be useful to anybody.
How about Richard Perle.
She’s Maxine Waters’ spiritual twin, but her district is smarter than Maxine’s, and voted her out.
Talking about the pot calling the kettle....I guess I can’t go there, can I?
Yes, and our involvement in Libya violates the War Powers Act, not to mention that there is no reason for one dollar to be spent on this Wag-the-Dog military adventure.
If George Washington was in charge she’d be hanged for treason.
And she should be charged with treason if we’re at war or not. Of course so should about 90% of the rest of the dems.
I didn’t like Qadafi as little as the next American. But, after Iraq he turned a leaf and turned over his WMD program and started working against Alqaida with us. He even pitched his dumba55ed tent in New Jersey.
Freepers need to look at the big picture here and understand we aren’t overthrowing him now because we give a damn about a handful of protesters. We are helping to overthrow ALL of our allies in the Middle East! Look to Soros and where he’s building his banking empire. He’s looking to be THE bank for all of these new regimes.

So Ms. McKinney is at odds with ZerO. Interesting.
Yep! How many people will be surprised to learn that the “Arab Spring” was planned and orchestrated by a Marxist “community organizer” in the White House??
Don't forget Sheila Jackson-Lee (d), TX. I hope, but don't think the TX house will redraw that district enough to get rid of her.
She’s got some use? Who would have guessed?
