	Cynthia McKinney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cynthia McKinney's political career began in 1986 when her father, state representative Billy McKinney, submitted her name as a write-in candidate for a state house district.
		McKinney angrily responded to the ruling by asserting that it was a racially discriminatory ruling given the fact that the Supreme Court had previously ruled that Texas' 6th district, which is 91 percent white, was constitutional.
		McKinney protested the result in court, claiming that Republicans in the mostly-Democratic district had participated in the Democratic primary to vote against McKinney in revenge for her anti-Bush administration views and implied voter fraud.

	Dedman's Letter to the Editor on Cynthia McKinney and September 11 (April of 2002) (Unpublished) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		To publish the mindless prattle of Cynthia McKinney is to allow The Daily Texan to become the mouthpiece of conspiracy theorists of the Oliver Stone "military industrial complex" variety.
		McKinney believes that President Bush and his staff "personally profited from the attacks of 9-11." She advances the malefic notion that the administration knew of - and purposefully failed to prevent - the Sept. 11 attacks because of an avaricious private agenda.
		McKinney's drivel is akin to the absurd theories put forth by the far right wing, which accuses President Clinton of murdering White House counsel Vincent Foster and Commerce Secretary Ron Brown.

		ATLANTA —; The father of Rep. Cynthia McKinney is blaming Jews for her defeat in Georgia's Democratic primary, but observers said that Tuesday's outcome had less to do with dueling donations from pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian activists than with high Republican turnout in the open primary and tepid support from fl voters and congressmen.
		In May, along with Hilliard, McKinney was one of 5 of the 36 voting members of the Congressional Black Caucus to oppose a pro-Israel resolution that put the bulk of the blame for the conflict on the Palestinians.
		McKinney was the ninth incumbent to be ousted in a House primary this year.

	Jonah Goldberg on Cynthia McKinney on National Review Online
		McKinney believes, or says she believes — not necessarily the same thing, of course — that the Bush administration is guilty of aiding and abetting the mass murder of American citizens for profit.
		McKinney has murdered several children or that she personally profited from sleeping with the entire defensive squad of the Atlanta Falcons.
		McKinney lets stand the suggestion that Americans were "needlessly murdered" because the Bush administration knew about the September 11 attack and willingly did nothing about it for purely selfish reasons.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: The Greening of McKinney by Lowell Ponte
		McKinney on Berkeley, Calif., Pacifica radio station KPFA even implied that President George W. Bush knew in advance that the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon were coming — declaring that the President let thousands of innocent people die because this would somehow profit the Bush family’s wealthy friends.
		She is certainly aptly named, Cynthia being one of the names of the ancient Greek moon goddess Artemis, by legend born on Mount Cynthos on the island of Delos.
		If Cynthia McKinney is serious about the wearing o’ the Green in the 2004 Presidential election, she will almost certainly announce a change of her affiliation to the Green Party before she leaves office in January.

	usnews.com: Opinion: Lessons from the defeat of Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney in the Georgia primary (8/29/02)
		Most of the commentary paired the defeats of McKinney in the state's fourth district and GOP Rep. Bob Barr in the seventh district: Two extremists given to explosive rhetoric were defeated by voters more interested in calm, constructive citizenship.
		Incidentally, Billy McKinney, a legislator for years with a large fl majority district, got less than 50 percent of the vote and was forced into a runoff–a rare thing for a longtime incumbent.
		Now more are closer to the center, and the defeat of Cynthia McKinney sends a cue to other fl politicians, current and would-be, that the road to political success is not her road.

	McKinney Scares Denise Majette Out of House Seat
		A well-known champion of human and civil rights in the United States and abroad, McKinney shook political Washington in April 2002 when she suggested that the Bush administration knew much more about pre-911 intelligence than it was letting on.
		She successfully took on McKinney in the Democratic primary with the help of the GOP cross-over votes and large amounts of out-of-state money.
		Strategists close to the McKinney campaign have told FTW that between now and the primary McKinney, while not shying away from the 9/11 issue will focus primarily on local issues important in the district which are of great concern to her and to the voters there.

		Cynthia McKinney has announced that she will be running to regain her old seat in Congress this year, the one she lost in 2002 by failing to express her devotion to the state of Israel and to the dictates of its domestic lobby.
		McKinney and Hilliard were the last of the outspoken members of the Congressional Black Caucus, and their departure was a major victory for the lobby.

		That is McKinney's explanation for her 2002 primary defeat, and she is sticking to it.
		McKinney is defensive about the Pacifica interview, and there are links on her campaign website to two articles by the left-wing BBC journalist Greg Palast that attempt to absolve her of conspiracy-mongering.
		What's striking about McKinney's website is that, even as it attempts to "debunk" a variety of "misinformation" about her, it also takes great pains to claim vindication for that same misinformation.

		In 2004 McKinney won 51 percent of the votes as one of six candidates in that primary and went on to regain her congressional seat, winning almost 64 percent of the vote in the November general election.
		McKinney opposed the tax cuts proposed by President George W. Bush, endorsing instead the Progressive Caucus' "American People's Dividend," a payment of $300 to every person in America, the same for all whether a person paid $1 million in taxes or $0.
		In 1994 McKinney refused to vote for a resolution condemning the anti-Semitic speeches of Khalid Muhammad, a firebrand disciple of Nation of Islam leader Rev. Louis Farrakhan.

	Cynthia McKinney - The rep who cries racism. By Chris Suellentrop
		Cynthia McKinney's problem is that she lets hers speak.
		Supporters of McKinney (and there are many of them in The Fray) think her theories and claims have not been disproved in any way; her detractors think her views are self-evidently so wrong that no rebuttal is needed.
		McKinney's long history of such observations, along with her record of high voter approval indicates that such paranoia resonates with a larger than we would like to admit demographic.

		With the defeat of five-term Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in the August 22 Democratic primary in Georgia, the U.S. House of Representatives will soon be losing one of its most outspoken progressive voices.
		These Republicans were particularly incensed at McKinney's criticism of President Bush's "war on terrorism," including a couple of remarks that even progressives believed went too far, such as her claim that the Bush Administration may have known about the September 11 terrorist attacks beforehand.
		McKinney was a thorn in the side of the Bush Administration.

		Out of 535 members of Congress, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was the first to break the consensus of silence and point to the obvious - that the Bush administration had received advance warnings of an attack, and that this called for a full investigation, without limits on what line of questioning is acceptable.
		Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) is calling for an investigation into whether President Bush and other government officials had advance notice of terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 but did nothing to prevent them.
		McKinney declined to be interviewed yesterday, but she issued a statement saying: "I am not aware of any evidence showing that President Bush or members of his administration have personally profited from the attacks of 9-11.

		McKinney was widely regarded as one of the most incompetent members of Congress by Democrats and Republicans alike.
		Ed Kilgore, policy director of the Democratic Leadership Council, was pleased with McKinney's defeat in the primary, citing her campaign's shameful financial ties with "a variety of Islamic sources with ties to Hamas, Hezbollah, and even al-Qaeda." McKinney had, indeed, accepted a $2,000 campaign contribution from American Muslim Council founder Abdurahman Alamoudi.

		Over the past several months, we’ve been told in various editorial pages and opinion columns that Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D—GA) is “off her rocker.” Many writers and political pundits have made a strong case that McKinney is a “loose cannon” who recklessly spews paranoid conspiracy theories and groundless accusations against her ideological foes.
		McKinney has been brutally and repeatedly attacked by her right-wing enemies for committing a horrible crime: she dared to speak the truth.
		In the aftermath of the terror attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, many Americans were “out for blood.” While Cynthia McKinney shared the desire to see justice done, she also stood before Congress and called on the American people to reflect upon the root causes of our enemies' desperation.

	RE-LYNCHING CYNTHIA MCKINNEY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		In "The Screwing of Cynthia McKinney," (to read the original article click here: http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=229androw=1) I thought I'd perform a minor but laudatory public service: correcting a cruelly false statement by the New York Times, a fib repeating or repeated by other sources from National Petroleum Radio to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
		The reason I find the brouhaha over my correcting the record on McKinney so astonishing is that the complaints came in the main, NOT from defenders of the Times or NPR, but from those who do, in fact, believe that Bush DID know of, or even plan, the attack of September 11.
		There, the McKinney expose was imbedded among other tales of fibs, fabrications, Stalinized photos and various distortions from America's own Izvestias and Pravdas, the Times, the Washington Post, NPR and the others.

		The odd thing is that McKinney is still the only politician of national stature who has openly supported and endorsed Robert Mugabe's dictatorial regime in Zimbabwe, and yet outside of a handful of right wing web sites, you'd never know this.

		The BBC report which got McKinney in hot water mentioned the Bush Administration’s reluctance to investigate associates of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY), which the FBI secret document termed “a suspected terrorist organization.” They may be.

		In 2002, McKinney lost to political newcomer and ex-GOP Alan Keyes supporter Denise Majette in a primary that saw a number of Republican cross-over voters supporting Majette.
		Majette was supported in 2002 by large campaign contributions from out-of-state Zionist organizations that wanted to punish McKinney for her strong support of Palestinian rights and her failure to vote for resolutions and legislation backing the Likud government of Ariel Sharon.
