The Augusta Chronicle ^

This is from the editorial page of the Augusta Chronicle. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) received $3000 from Arab groups on September 11, 2001. She still remains critical of GW and the US war on terrorism. She is a true traitor to this nation.

The terrorist shill should be sent to Saudi Arabia.

I have a feeling Cynthia McKinney didn't realize what she was getting herself in for when she made those comments on the Berkeley Pacifica station. Well, she deserves it all.

McKinney's current committee assignments are the House International Affairs and Armed Services Committees. One of her staffers -- until he was forced to resign over the flap over her letter to the Saudi prince -- was a Palestinian. Seems to me a staffer with Arabist loyalties would have access to very interesting information because of McKinney's membership in those two committees. She's been on the International Affairs Committee since she entered the House in '93, and her studies were in that field. But she joined the Armed Services Committee just in the past couple of years. Why?

Makes me wonder what she knew was going to happen on September 10th. Thou protests too much.

I love this. I just love it. Let's just see what an investigation MIGHT reveal. Serves her right.

And to get her assignment on the Armed Services Committee she had to drop her assignment to the Banking Committee. I realize military matters are a big deal in the Atlanta area. But aren't banking matters at least as big a deal?

I think Condi should have a little talk with her.

must have been reading FreeRepublic's backhoe article

I'd seen the donor list, but not the notation of cash changing hands before the rubble cooled.

She must be strapped to every democrat in every race in every district.

Make the Dems refute her, or say they're on her side.

If you think Cynthia is a piece of work, you should see her daddy, Billy McKinney. He is a state rep in the Georgia Legislature. He pulled a knife on a fellow rep in the anteroom of the state capitol because the guy put a rider on one of Billy's "environmental racism" bills which said until the city of Atlanta stopped dumping raw sewage in the Chatahoochee River and pulluting everyone else's drinking water and recreational areas down stream the bill would not go into effect. He denied it even though there were many witnesses present who testified that he did indeed pull the knife.

Maybe she knew about Enron before things hit the fan. She needs to be investigated.

[Shermy]

She pleaded for that money from prince talal for her friends. Wonder if she thought she was going to get a kickback.

Thread yesterday with a lot more details, including links to 157 individual contributors, many of whom have Muslim/Arabic names.

Feds Searched Offices of Seven McKinney Donors (She Raked In Big Campaign $$ on Sept. 11)

Way to go Augusta Chronicle. Good post Cav.

[GaConfed]

Let's just see what an investigation MIGHT reveal.

The only way she will be put out of office is if she is convicted of a crime. Her district is a hogepoage of various fruitloops like the Emory University area (even if they are commies, they should know better, but they ain't too bright either), the largest illigal alien community in the entire south, and a large number of upper middle class blacks who got their government jobs through affirmative action.

[ArmoredCav]

Holy smokes! thanks!

[Zack Nguyen]

Excellent questions. When a newspaper uses language that strong, you know the stuff is about to hit the fan.

[RippleFire]

On the other hand, Cynthia would look better in a burka

Thanks for the link and I'll cross-link your post to mine.

This?

McKinney received nearly $3,000 from radical Arabs and Arab groups on the very date of the terrorist attack, Sept. 11

If McKinney's "I have no evidence, but...." is sufficient to warrant investigating the President, then there is more than enough cause to investigate her ties to terrorist money.

BTW, I found excerpts from her challenger's position papers and copied them to my post; I saw nothing in them that I could not support. She would be a vast improvement.
