Really NO one here should be supporting Cynthia McKinny. Yes she's fairly progressive, she's also fairly insane. This is a woman who believes that the Government rounded up 5000 black men during Katrina shot them in the back of the head and then dumped the bodies in the swamp. Why? who the hell knows. What Evidence? She heard some random person saying that once and of course being herself took it as fact.

This is also someone who praised Gadhafi's regime, you can be against the intervention in Libya without praising someone who was undeniably a murderous dictator.

Mckinny was an embarrassment to us and to the entire progressive movement, she makes us look like kooks and delegitimizes her own points.

But no matter, she'll just lose and blame the J-E-W-S again.

I'm not quite sure why she's doing this. cali Apr 2012 #1
