Please, bid in shekels or dollars. Ms. McKinney may learn to appreciate her United States citizenship after this experience, and stop envying Castro, Chavez, and every other country. Here is a capsulized summary of Ms McKinney's history: Cynthia McKinney - one busy woman June 19, 2006 by chrisgraham augustafreepress.com Column by Max Friedman: Cynthia McKinney - One Busy womanIn between hitting cops and and playing the race card, wacko Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., keeps busy with the left on a number of subjects.

MCKINNEY'S TROUBLED WATERSLast updated: 1:18 am January 2, 2009 Israel's navy gave ex-Rep. Cynthia McKinney and her fellow self-de scribed "peace" activists a surprise kick in the bow this week, turning away their photo-op of a boat trip, which was headed for Gaza. **SNIP** She and other anti-Israel activists sailed out of Cyprus (with a CNN crew aboard), claiming they simply wanted to deliver medical supplies to Gaza on "a mission of mercy." They say they were suddenly fired upon by machine guns from Israeli gunboats and forced to turn back. **SNIP** But anything in which Cynthia McKinney is involved...

APN) ATLANTA – "Run, Cynthia run!" chanted enthusiastic Green Party members and leaders at the Green Party National Meeting for 2007 in Reading, Pennsylvania, on July 15, 2007, according to video footage obtained by Atlanta Progressive News. "If not us, who? If not now, when?" asked one Green Party activist in attendance after a screening of the movie American Blackout. "It is us and the time is now," former US Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) replied. How would progressive Democrats in Congress respond to a McKinney-Nader 2008 ticket, another attendee asked. "That would have a potential of shaking up a whole...

Cynthia McKinney hinted Thursday that she or her supporters might try again to challenge the legality of state voting laws that allowed Republicans to vote in the Democratic primary where she lost her House seat last month.

Oh, for crying out loud! Cynthia McKinney is at it again. Blaming everyone and everything for her ills other than herself. This time, she is on attack regarding her recent runoff loss to Hank Johnson. During a recent speech in front of the National Dialogue and Revival for Social Justice in the Black Church, she blamed her loss on the media, electronic voting machines, Republicans and Georgia's requirement that the winner of an election must receive at least 50 percent of the vote. Is that it, Cynthia? What about days with the letter "y" in them or months that have...

APN) ATLANTA -- US Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) is pursuing numerous legal avenues to challenge the so-called “results” of not only her recent Primary and Runoff Elections, but also the fundamental reality that the current E-voting system in Georgia does not provide us with “results” that are in any way meaningful. The Congresswoman and her attorneys and campaign are looking at ways in which they can either join or support Donzella James’s legal election contest filed last week, Donzella James, who is working closely with the Congresswoman, told Atlanta Progressive News. The US Department of Justice is already said to...

I wrote last week that our InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion survey showed that controversial Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney would likely lose her primary runoff election against former county commissioner Hank Johnson in Georgia's 4th District. McKinney lost handily. Beyond that, her final hours before eventually conceding defeat made for the most underreported and bizarre story of a political exit I've ever seen in my years of participating in or analyzing political races around the country. I had agreed to join the anchor desk at Atlanta's NBC-TV affiliate to provide analysis for that day's elections. As the night wore on, it became clear...

If a long-time member of Congress lost a primary battle for re-election, and his/her campaign entourage shouted racial epithets at reporters and about her opponent after defeat, do you think this would have been on the evening news? Well, if said member of Congress was a Democrat, the answer apparently is “no,” for not one of the broadcast networks felt it was newsworthy to report Tuesday evening's events involving Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Georgia). For those that haven’t heard, McKinney’s campaign entourage now includes members of the New Black Panthers. After her primary defeat Tuesday to Hank Johnson for Georgia’s 4th...

McKinney's Black PanthersTom Bevan Mon Aug 7, 9:31 AM ET Check out this nugget on the McKinney campaign buried at the end of a story in today's Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Several people dressed in black suits and boots followed McKinney around. The patches on their clothes said: "New Black Panther Party Freedom or Death." The organization does not have an official role in McKinney's campaign and are not on her organization's payroll, said McKinney's campaign manager, John Evans. So members of the "largest organized anti-Semitic black militant group in America" just show up spontaneously to follow McKinney around during the final...
