Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney, known for her provocative statements when she was a congresswoman from Georgia, accused the Department of Defense this week of using Hurricane Katrina to cover up the slaughter of 5,000 prisoners.
At a news conference in Oakland, Calif., on Sunday, McKinney claimed the Pentagon authorized the execution of the prisoners with one bullet to the head three years ago and then dumped their bodies in a Louisiana swamp.
she was elected by the inner city of atlanta... most of the people that elected her share her views of the world

How in the hell did this woman ever get elected to an office higher than dog catcher?
The real story is how she got tossed out. In 2002 thousands of Republican voters in her district crossed party lines during the primary (perfectly legal in Georgia) and voted for her opponent, Denise Majette. Majette won the primary and took the congressional seat. One of the few instances where it can be verified that cross-over voting directly affected the outcome of an election. Of course McKinney cried that she lost because of racisim (virtually all of the cross over voters were white), but the courts let the election results stand.
A few years later someone convinced Majette she had a shot at Zell Miller's US Senate seat, so she ran for that rather than compete for her seat in the House (some speculate it was really closet McKinney supporters who were whispering in her ear that running for the Senate was a good idea). Majette lost the Senate race (was trounced, really) and subsequently lost her House seat back to McKinney. McKinney served another two year term and was again defeated. She left the Democratic party (again, calling the Democratic Pary a racist organization) and moved out of state to Moonbat country, where she really belongs. Good riddance to a piece of trash.
I have a couple of older photos from her earlier days:

That's about as helpful to the discussion as saying electing Nancy Pelosi (AKA Tom Delay without the charm) says a lot about the voters of California. McKinney was elected by the voters from urban, and predominately black, Atlanta - NOT the voters of Georgia.
I've come to expect better from you, Felix .

Too many places have absolute idiots representing them in congress that they can't do anything about.
Like me. My rep is the Gerrymander Queen herself, Maxine Waters. Words cannot express the uselessness of this twit. And yet, due to the fact that they stitched together every black hood twixt the center of the state all the way up to Jacksonville just to get her a distric... just kind of irritates me. And yes, she is running unopposed. Grrrrr.
