Michelle Malkin on Cynthia McKinney

[Gravitymaster 0]

Malkin hits a homerun on her assessment of Cynthia McKinney and the silence by the Dems on the subject. I've been waiting for several days to see if it showed up here.

Quote

There's only one thing more damning than the recent caterwauling of cop-bashing Rep. Cynthia McKinney and her race-mongering mob:

The stone-cold silence of Beltway Democrats.

While McKinney and her ilk sling wild charges of racism and conspiracy at the police, national Dems have yet to utter one clear word in defense of the men and women who protect their privileged backsides day in and day out in Washington.


But, hey, don't question their patriotism.

McKinney, who is black, is having the mother of all Beltway snit fits because, she claims, a white Capitol Hill police officer "inappropriately touched" her last week. After asking her several times to stop when she traipsed around a security checkpoint without proper identification, according to police accounts, the officer reportedly touched McKinney's arm or shoulder. In response, she struck the officer.

You know, Rep. McKinney, as a fellow "woman of color," I have been pulled aside by government security agents numerous times for secondary screening at airports over the last few years. I've had my bra straps snapped, my thighs pawed, and my torso wanded. I've had my cell phone tested for bomb residue, my laptop inspected, and my handbags manhandled.

My response was not to go postal or do a Naomi Campbell on the gropers. My response was to ask why they aren't doing more security profiling.

McKinney is spitting venom about "double standards" of justice. But if I had done what McKinney did to the police officer just doing his job, I would be marking time in the slammer. Caught in an imperial act of lawlessness, McKinney is now conducting her own victim Olympics to deflect blame and responsibility:

Lawyer James W. Myart Jr. called McKinney "a victim of the excessive use of force by law enforcement officials because of how she looks and the color of her skin. Ms. McKinney is just a victim of being in Congress while black." Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover, admittedly ignorant of what McKinney did on Capitol Hill, were on hand to add their tribal "uh-huhs" and "amens" to the blanket condemnations of white police officers.

On Monday, an entire contingent of black leaders in Atlanta inveighed against law enforcement officers and lent McKinney their unconditional political support at a meeting of the Concerned Black Clergy of Metropolitan Atlanta in the Community Church of God. (Hello, church-and-state separatists?) "Racial profiling is a well-thought-out and planned attack on black political leaders," fumed state Rep. Roberta Abdul-Salaam. "It's going from the gold dome down to the White House. It's happening and it's wrong."

Another instigated the crowd: "We know what time it is, and that's why the most progressive of us are standing here. Because we know that if you can come and get Cynthia today, you'll come and get us tomorrow." Yet another McKinney supporter rattled his tinfoil and asserted: "I believe this incident with Cynthia McKinney is a setup . . . I say the politicizing of this event was planned and staged! They decided to set this brave sister up!"

McKinney later appeared on CNN to insinuate that the entire Capitol Hill police department had "problems inside with the treatment of -- or the respect for diversity -- let me say." She adamantly refuses to apologize for her treatment of the officer she hit.

Two Capitol Hill cops died in the line of fire in 1998 defending politicians and government workers from an intruding gunman who waltzed passed a checkpoint in the same manner McKinney did. The Democrats' refusal to condemn the McKinney mob's smear campaign against the Capitol Hill police sinks to a new level of political cowardice. And stupidity. Republicans have already announced plans to introduce a bill defending the 1,700-member Capitol Hill police force -- reinforcing the Donkey Party's haplessness on public safety and national security issues.

Contempt for law enforcement is a hallmark of the party of Ted Kennedy, Al Sharpton, Chuck Schumer, Jesse Jackson and the Clintons. New Yorkers won't forget the shameful attack on members of the Albany Police Department honor guard, who were cursed at and spat on by participants in the state Democratic Party convention in 2000. It's all of a piece. To quote a certain now-quiet Democrat senator from New York pandering to her black constituents:

"And you know what I am talkin' about."

Nice impartial opinion there. As far as I can see it's a "he said she said" kind of a thing.

McKinney is an idiot, though.

She admitted to hitting him. There are pictures of the officer and his black eye.

She admitted going aroung the check point (and that is on film) she admitted not having her identification pin or any ID on her.

"He said she said" is a little week don't you think?

Malkin makes no secret on the fact she's biased. She happens to be 100% correct on this one, though. Gotta respect someone who tells it like it is regardless of political leanings.

I agree. I'm going to be the first to demand she resign immediately. There is no room in our government for those who flaunt our laws and think they are above reproach. We need to send a message to members of Congress that they are subject to the same laws and penalties as the rest of us. I think it's outrageous that the Democratic Party is silent on such a grave issue as one of their own assaulting a member of the very same law enforcement agency created to protect them. This is not a partisan issue. It is a question as to whether Democrts are going to sit by silently and wait for this to pass or if they are going to show some backbone and stand up and say "Cynthia McKinney was wrong to strike a law enforcement officer who was performing his job."

But don't count on it to happen. Had this been any Republican, this would have been a major issue. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi would halt all Congressional business and demand he/she resign. Republicans would be cast as law breakers and comparisons to assaulting Iraqi would be tied to assaulting Capital Hill Police as a "Culture of Violence and disregard for the Rule of Law."

Good thing she didn't give the Police Officer a Wedgie. That would have really caused an outrage.

Teacher charged for giving student 'wedgie'

Summer incident not reported until January


Mark Holley, 41, is charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
ALBANY, April 4
By ABIGAIL BLECK

A charter school teacher in Albany is out of the classroom and in the courtroom.

Police say Mark Holley gave a 10-year-old New Covenant student a wedgie during a summer school program sometime between July and August 2005.

The 41-year-old is charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

The mother of the boy told investigators she reported the alleged incident to school administrators immediately after it happened, but New Covenant did not file anything with the police department until January.

The principal of the school says Holley is on administrative leave.

That falls so short of a condemnation of Cynthia McKinney for punching a Police Officer
it's laughable. He doesn't even use her name in his generic "ok, we condemned her, lets move on. Nothing to see here."

(Shit! They did speak out! Quick - change the subject! Get the dictionary; let's see if I can redefine "silence!")

So you don't think McKinney should be condemned for punching a police officer who was just doing his job?

If she did that, and the situation is as you describe, then she should go to jail. (Of course, if this were a republican, I have no doubt you would now be questioning the background of this cop, and whether he's a habitual liar.)

If there was a reason to question the cops motivation, yes. So would you. I've seen nothing to question in this case except the weak response by the Democrats and the support for her racially motivated "snit" from many in the Democratic Party.

I assume you haven't been reading the news (or this forum.) Delay resigned voluntarily. I think that's great.

Exactly the reason I brought this up. Dems are all over Delay, but hardly a peep about McKinny.
Now compare this to the way Trent lott was railroaded.

I can't figure out which is larger - the chip on McKinney's shoulder or her ego.

If I hit an officer, I'd be taken in right there...no questions, nothing other than a Miranda warning. Booked, released, tried, and most likely found guilty.

Congress has no free pass when it comes to criminal behavior. If she hit the officer - and apparently she has; even her attorney won't say she didn't... - she needs to be arrested, booked, and tried...with a jury making a decision about the "truth" of the case.

I've watched this twit for years making her presence felt, her acrimony heard, and her bile spewed...I'd dearly love to see the great state of Georgia vote someone - anyone!! - into that seat...

Ciels-

McKinney now claims she was attacked because of her hairdo...

She is alo the one who said Bush was reponsible for the attacks on 9/11 and that the war in Iraq was started so Bush and company could make billions

I am ashamed of living in the same state that elected her.

My reality and yours are quite different.
