McKinney Plays the Race Card
In an unsurprising and totally expected move Rep. Cynthia McKinney has played the race card regarding the incident where she struck a Capitol Hill police officer.
A lawyer for Rep. Cynthia McKinney, the Georgia congresswoman who had an altercation with a Capitol Police officer, says she was “just a victim of being in Congress while black.”

Members of Congress wear identifying lapel pins and routinely are waved into buildings without undergoing security checks. McKinney was not wearing her pin at the time, and the officer apparently did not recognize her, she has said.
“Congresswoman McKinney, in a hurry, was essentially chased and grabbed by the officer,” Myart said. “She reacted instinctively in an effort to defend herself.”
Right because black people are routinely stopped and assaulted in the Capitol and its related office buildings.

Its interesting to contrast her view of the world with Steele’s view of the world. Hers is “all bad things happen to me because I am Black”. Steele’s is “you are responsible for your own actions and what you make of your opportunities”.

I think she should take her act to the WWF. But this is interesting:
That last bit would definitely get my goat, but probably not to the point of violence.

McKinny, like so many of the so called black “Leaders” are the biggest Racists around.
How often do we hear that “white people” are the reason for their inadequacies as an excuse for their own self promotion to gain a monetary incentive for themselves.

Methinks, if McKinny can’t get herself dressed in the morning by putting on her little congressional pin, it’s time for her to retire. She’s got an open invitation to a chocolate city that should be to her racial liking.

McKinney? Black? The story made sense when I thought she was Scottish. You’ve heard the one about the Scotsman who wouldn’t wear a pin, haven’t you… ?

she needs to lose the adjective and the attitide and represent ALL the people of her district as just a “congressman”. she’s not a rock star, she’s a SERVANT of the people and should show a little class and humility.

Foolish action by the Captiol Hill Police. Misunderstandings on both sides. No harm. They should have let it go.

What’s a security office supposed to do when someone he/she doesn’t recognize goes rushing into the Capitol building without a normal security check? After staying “stop” 3 times, even? The officer “touched her hand” inappropriately? Sounds like tackling the apparent intruder might be a more appropriate approach.
The Congresswoman needs to grow up, get some manners, and learn to cooperate with those trying to protect her and everyone else in the bulding she works in. Playing the race card is disgusting.
