What is Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) really guilty of?

Don't even get me started! I hate her. I live in Georgia, sadly, and I can't believe that she's back in Congress. What a bunch of f*cking morons to even elect her again. \n\nFact of the matter is she is a bumbling idiot who needs to just fall off the side of the earth and never come back. Bullsh*it that she is "handling our country's business". Bullsh*it. She doesn't do anything. She just sits on her fat a$$ and complains. \n\nGoing back to her being black in Congress is just a bunch of horsesh*t. She just wants to get attention. Yes, she hit the officer because she is a cow and has no respect. She hit him so she could get on TV and cry like a baby that it's "becasue she's black". Again, BULLSH*T!. Whaa-whaa cry me a mother f*cking river. If it were becasue she was black then she wouldn't be in Congress! I still don't know who voted for her or why, but whoever they are needs to have a reality check. \n\nI have always hated her. Ever since she was in office the first time. She's a reatard in action. She needs to go to jail and pay the price. \n\nI agree with you. She needs to make a huge public apology saying how stupid she is and that it was her fault and that it's not because she's black then turn around and kiss her own sorry black a$$.\n\nIn reponse to this: \nproblem here is that you white Americans became so scared of being call racist you gave blacks,Hispanics,Muslim,and whoever else the get out of jail card away along time ago now if you look at them wrong you are in trouble instead of debating the accusation to find the truth in any matter you ran with you re tail between you're legs,you can thank liberals for that not all issues are about race.but you let them make it so.i long for the days of simple right,and,wrong.by the way i am of Mexican descent. \n\nExcuse me? If you would get your head out of your a$$ then you might see differently. It doesn't matter what we "white Americans" are always called racist no matter what we do. We're racist if we say to a black person -oh pardon me I should be politically correct, African Amercian- to shut up, Oh my god! All hell breaks lose. They say, "It's because I'm black right?" No, it's becasue you're loud. I live in GA, okay? Not all black people are like this. Lots are just awesome. I have a lot of black friends and they all agree with me. \n\nLet me tell you this. At my school, here in GA, if we get into a fight with a black, mexican or muslim we are suspended without say. \n\nExample: My brother is in the 8th grade. A Mexican kid, who was expelled from 3 other schools already, hit my brother. Sucker punched him at his locker. My brother hit him back and got suspended. The Mexican got no punishment. People saw the fight. But because my brother was white and the kid was Mexican he, my brother, got suspended. Is that fair? No.\n\nExample 2: A teacher at my school got pumpkins thrown at him, pens, pencils and other things thrown at him. He got a condom put on his computer. (I was in this class.) He gets fired because a black guy pushed him and he grabbed his arm to take him to the discplinary room. Fair? No. \n\nWe fight back but no one hears us. It goes in one ear and out the other. And quite frankly I'm tired of it. I'm tired of getting pushed around and being called a racist because I don't like a black person or because Mexican's speak Spanish in an English class room and it annoys me. \n\nI'm not racist. Lots of black people are awesome and great to be around. I hang out with Mexican's. I'm all for equality. Until someone pushes the wrong button. \n\nThis is the United States baby. I have a right to say whatever I want, whenever I want.\n\n\nIn response:\n"This white american is not afraid of being called racist. because I'm not. I have a black friend who is called " Uncle Joe" by my kids, I work under a black su

If it was, then every time someone is found not guilty in court the accuser would then be prosecuted.\n\nWould cut down on prosecutions tho'.

My understanding is that it is part of an ongoing offensive against corruption in Illinois. Ryan isn't the only person caught up in it. Mayor Daley's former patronage chief faces trial shortly along with three colleagues. My understanding is that it isn't related to capital punishment.

Finally, Phyllis Schlafly gets her scholarly due. While historians have focused on the periphery of politics -- dwelling into ever narrow corners and cracks of the American Left -- Phyllis Schlafly has had no honest assessment. Plenty of dishonest, superficial assessment based on hand-me-down "that terrible woman" stories, but little more. (...). \n\nProfessor Critchlow is the dean of U.S. policy historians and he has taken a brave step tackling a figure so unpopular among academics. Then again, I am reminded of that member of the chattering classes who said, "I can't believe Nixon won , I don't know a single person who voted for him!" Critchlow batters that academic insularity to explain how and why Schlafly's message spawned "grassroots conservatism." Let's hope some who would rather not hear, do listen. \n\nThe alternative offered by Critchlow's study is, to take a quote from one of her best-selling titles, \n\n"A Choice, Not an Echo" of the silly things constantly said \nabout her and other movement conservatives. \n\nWake up historians (left or right), you have nothing to lose but your ignorance! \n\nSee the site below for much more info.

Dunno if she's the devil but she is crazy.  \n\nShe called the Branch Davidians from Waco "harmless American citizens."  \n\nShe says women "shouldn't be in the military"  are "not as bright as men" and "have no capacity to understand how money is earned."  \n\nShe said Apartheid in south Afirca was a good thing and that the black people there are "savages." \n\nShe's under investigation by election officials in Florida for filing inncorrect voter registration after providing her real estate agents address instead of her home address.\n\nShe said Joe McCarthy(the republican senator from Wisconsin in the 50's who claimed everyone he didn't like was a communist...) is the deceased person she admires most.

Your words imply guilt. Have you convicted her? If so, on what evidence?

smear campaigns, spread rumors about her.\n\npay off someone who works at the voting booths.\n\nSlander her for drug addiction.

Last time I checked she wasn't convicted in a court of law Tootie. \n\nOr do people like you only support due process for terrorists.

Glenda Overstreet is an opinion columnist for the Topeka Capital Journal; on 2/17/06 she wrote a piece linked below that caused quite a stir. Two Topeka Police officers responded to her column, and now Ms. Overstreet is claiming the two officers are racist and should be fired. They have both (Detectives Ken Eaton and George Campbell) been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.\n\nYou can find out more info here:\nhttp://www.raubinandmegan.com/race.shtml

I'm certain he is guilty. What kind of innocent person would lead the cops to chase after him for a long time after he lied and told them he would turn himself in? There were no other suspects that the police could find, and guilty people are let free a lot. The problem seems to be the amendment in the Consitution that says that a person can't be tried twice (double jeopardy), even if substatial evidence amounts against that person. I have heard a lot of rumors that a murder weapon was found, but that eveidence is now usless thanks to that amendment. Rich people like him can afford the best of lawyers, and his lawyer certainly was no amateur. He helped many other famous people walk free, and your lawyer runs most of the show at a trial. He knows all of the loopholes and how to bring his client out of a hole.

Well the cops are going to take them directly to jail. What happens next is a matter of the court system.\n\nMy suspicion is that the client's attorney would plead the case as "not guilty by reason of insanity." The attorney would try to prove that the "obsession" was a mental illness and that because of this the client was unable to understand the wrongfulness of their act and/or conform their behavior to the law. If found not guilty by reason of insanity then they would be sent to a psychiatric hospital or psychiatric medical unit in a prison. This is what happened to John Hinckley who tried to assasinate Ronald Reagan (do a search if you want to find out more; he is committed to St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Wash, DC). If he is still found guilty then he is sent to a regular prison--this is what happened to Andrea Yeager, the woman in Texas who drowned her kids a couple of years ago.\n\nRead up some more on this in these links:\nhttp://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/hinckley/hinckleyinsanity.htm\n\nhttp://crime.about.com/od/issues/a/insanity.htm\n\nhttp://www.pioneer.net/~mchumor/holyrollers_not_guilty_ins.html\n\nhttp://crime.about.com/b/a/234163.htm\n\nHope this is helpful to you.

I think this was his and Karl Rove's brainchild.  These  were two nerds that had visions of being in a position of power where for once they controlled things.  Unfortunately, instead of being friends with the football team and dating cheerleaders, they are getting back at anyone who opposes their point-of-view politically.  This was not only a dangerous, traitorous act but a juvenile prank and they should both be indicted for it.  They will probably not be found guilty but they should have to go thru the humiliation of having to stand trial. Plame, her family and all those operatives that have been jeopardized deserve nothing less from our judicial system.  I dont think that we will ever know all of the lives that this has affected.

Mckinney, Public Official or not, needs to learn when to deflate her head. Race is not an issue but, isn't it convenient that, that excuse comes up? Isn't it convenient for an African American to scream that? We are not the racist, they are, meaning the African Americans whom scream that. The Racist card has expired so Mckinney get over it. \n\nRespectfully,\n\n2nd Lt. Tobacco III, Vincent W. \nUS Army

Bad jury.  End of subject.\n\nI lied, there's more.  The liberal media fed us daily assessments of Marcia Clark's hair, wardrobe and personal life.\n\nPC probably played a part.  Wouldn't it be politically incorrect to hang a black male for killing a white woman?\n\nDon't think it was the jury, pull the transcript.  I cut my law teeth on this case, as I was in law school at the time.  The evidence was there to convict.
