Rep. Cynthia McKinney's recent letter to a Saudi prince in which she bashed Israel and begged for money to be used exclusively for poor black people in the United States did not sit well with Democratic consultant Chris LaPetina, who wonders why his party has given a pass to the Georgia Democrat.

The Democrat Party is very accepting and inclusive ... of money-grubbing, disloyal whores.

What do you expect from people who don't have sense enough to read a ballot and have to be told by a telemarketing firm that they didn't vote right!

"The way I see it, Ms. McKinney, one of us needs to leave our party. "One of us is completely out of touch"

"Maybe I'm the dumb one and you represent the majority of the Democratic Party. I sure hope not, but with all the silence, I can't really tell."

Very well written, and intellectually honest... he's right on BOTH counts... she shouldn't be a representative, and he shouldn't be a Democrat! =^)

It would appear she represents the majority of the Democratic party.

It's not that hard to understand, Mr. LaPetina. Democrats give a pass to anything black leaders say and do, because the votes of black people are necessary for Democrats to win state-wide and national office. That's all there is to it.

I guess Mr. LaPetina didn't get the memo from Terry MacAuliffe informing everybody that if they spoke out against racist morons like Al Sharpton, they'd be invited to leave the party. I'm sure that applies to socialist morons like Cynthia McKinney as well.

"One of us is completely out of touch with the institution created by Thomas Jefferson,...."

Correction, the 'Democrat' party as a whole is completely out of touch with Thomas Jefferson. They shouldn't be fighting like this. What Rep. Cynthia McKinney did was quite the norm for the Democrats. Also, cat fights between females in positions of leadership is quite the norm.

Depends...is LaPetina black or white? If he's white, he might be asked to leave. A member of a minority group will be given a pass.

Mr LaPetina finally gets it. Yes, Mr LaPetina, you are the one out of touch with the Democratic Party: "But, like I said, maybe I'm the one who is out of touch. Criticism of you from within the party has been hard to find. Let me start and maybe I will trigger something over at the Democratic National Committee."

Yet the Jewish population will continue to vote 85% Democrat. Shame.

I always thought that LaPetina was an overrated RAT who would defend any other RAT regardless of facts. Could it be that he has had a change of heart? I doubt it but maybe we should stay tuned.....
