Thoughts?

She has big problems with racial prejudice (edit-her own).
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I forgot to put Racially Prejudiced Biatch as an option...

Can you tell I'm buzzed?

You said it dude! I think her return to the GA limelight is a testament to the failure of the American public school system.

Oh Herradura....Herradura....I love to drink Herradura! Reposado! Anejo! Mas tequila por favor!!

. . . terrorist loving biatch . . .



I don't know enough about her or her issues to really comment. I guess it all depends on if you believe what some people have said that she has said, but I can't find any quotes that are reliable.

Here is one resource, but like I said, it doesn't have the kind of "GWB let 9/11 happen so that his friends would get rich" sort of thing that has been attibuted to her.

You'd think if she actually said it, it'd be on record somewhere.

Also, she's more of an East Coast thing and doesn't impact me directly -- yet.

In the 2002 election's primary, she ran against Denise Majette in a closely watched, bitter fight. In GA, a person can vote in either party's primary, so many Republicans voted in the Democratic primary (perfectly legally) to oust this nutjob from Congress. Well, in typical McKinney fashion, she pulled some crazy shinanigans on election eve.

Basically, hooligans from her campaign called as many people who voted for Bush in 2000 as they could the night before the election and threatened them that if they voted in the Democratic primary, they would be committing a felony and would be prosecuted. Nice, huh? And, of course, nobody got in trouble.

Fast-forward 2 years, she has just won the Congressional primary by rallying up the minority vote and telling them about all the things they are OWED by the man. I think it is so insulting that people in these minority communities are represented by people who deliberately deceive them for their own personal gain.

It's scary that a person of her caliber can get as far in American politics as she has.

Jeffrey, why not just go ahead and use the n-word? Are you trying to point out the differences among the various ethnic groups? If so, to what end?

That's what's usually considered to be racism. I don't see any talk about particular forms of ugliness attributed to white voters, or Asian voters. Do you have an agenda?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Some of her inane comments were on her website a couple years ago. She and her classy[sic] father are two of the most racist figures in GA politics. Disgusting.

I'll admit that I agree entirely that she appears to be quite divisive; she exploits dark little holes, rather than marching forward.

Oh, she said it alright. I was listening to the whole thing on the radio.

Here it is

Let's not forget pandering to that Saudi Prince for his money. You know, that money he offered to New York City for the WTC relief and clean up. That money that Giuliani turned down. That money that had a political statement attached to it that said "Oh by the way, you had it coming."

This money right here.

Good riddance.
