My Ridiculously Inept Congresscommie (Who Now Faces Arrest!)
Just got "The 4th District Chronicle" from the Cutest Little Communist In Congress. Just a quick glance at it...
Page One: main article...just her general idiotic rantings...no surprises there Page Two: "Congress Hears Gripping Stories Of Heroism, Policy Failure and Discrimination" Hmmm...hard-hitting article perhaps? Nope. No specifics. No heroism. No discrimination. No policy failure. I guess I'm just supposed to believe it because the headline says so... Also on page 2: "REGISTER EARLY. CONGRESSWOMAN HOSTS FIFTH ANNUAL WOMEN'S SISTER TO SISTER" Limited Seating. Register Early. Oooh. Better pass this on to SWMBO. When is it? Oh. It was December 5th., 2005. Guess it's too late to register early... On to page three: "CONGRESSWOMAN MCKINNEY WORKING HARD FOR THE FOURTH DISTRICT" Her web site proudly proclaims of our district "The District is the most ethnically diverse district in the southeastern United States." You sure wouldn't guess that by the pictures of Congresswoman McKinney Working Hard For The 4th District. There are five pictures of Congresswoman McKinney Working Hard For The Most Ethnically Diverse District In the Southeastern United States. 35 faces can be seen in those pictures. 33 of them are black. The two white ones are the mayor of Clarkston and a white school board member. I guess I should be glad I'm not a part of the 48ish percent of her district that is not black. Page Four... Lots of "Legislation Introduced By Congresswoman McKinney." The watchful eye notes, though, that there's no "Legislation PASSED That Congresswoman McKinney Introduced." Hmmmm...I wonder why that is. Could it be because the rest of her colleagues, even the ones in her own party, see her for the FRUITCAKE she is??? Page Five... Headline: "Congressional Office DELIVERS!!!" Lots mroe pictures of the Congressional Office DELIVERING for the various black people in the picture. Hey, there's even a photo op with C.M. and Isaac Hayes. I wonder if Ol' Isaac DELIVERED a little sumpm-sumpm to her. Page Six.... OH MY GOODNESS, WHAT IS THAT??? A PICTURE OF....WHITE PEOPLE!!!! Oh, never mind. That's the 9/11 Commission. The article is ripping them. Page Seven... Ahh....the ol' District Day schedule, with an explanation that "district days are periodic meetings planned by Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and staff to allow for individual visits by constituents...We encourage you to attend and ask questions, raise concersn and have those questions and concerns addressed." Cool! So, when's the next one? Oh, these are the District Days from May 2005-November 2005. Maybe Congresswoman McKinney should DELIVER a time machine to my house so I could attend some of these. Page Eight.... (You're not going to believe this one unless I quote it verbatim. I've also included color and relative font sizes used on the actual page.) Quote:
Just damn. Glad to see her soliciting the convicted felon vote. |

Better make sure for the next one if SWMBO needs a sleeping bag or not. |
Make sure you send a copy of this to Neal, just in case he hasn't gotten his yet ;)
|
Is this a joke? Well, I mean other than the fact that Cynthia McKinney is a joke in and of herself...
|
Ahhh - the aisle bird rears her ugly head again! I can never decide if I am happy that I don't live in her district, or if I am sad that I've never gotten to vote against her...
|
I would like to state for the record that the only election during which we were in Ms. McKinney's district, she lost in the primary. Then we left, and she came back.
I would like to also state for the record that I was not a Republican crossing party lines for a primary vote. But hey! Maybe everybody else was. |
Imagine the uproar if this thread had been started by Bubba Wheels.

Quote:
He wouldn't have provided any of the quotes from the newsletter, and later would have referenced something completely different to draw attention away from his initial, impossible to defend statement. |
Quote:
And yes, I'll be composing an e-mail to Boortz in the morning, just in case it hasn't gotten to him. |

I wasn't thinking about Bubba, I was just thinking that if ANY white person had started this thread, that person would be an automatic racist. Hell, we're we probably honorary racists for even pointing that out. Look out!!! It's the FOFC Justice League!!! Hide!!! I need to come up with super hero names for the FOFC political crusaders on both sides. |
I scanned her webpage, and her wikipedia entry, and found no evidence of communism or even that much evidence of far left political leanings. In fact wikipedia says she is one of the biggest Katrina relief advocates and works tirelessly to keep conventional weapons out of the hands of dictators and those that fail to respect human rights. She was also instrumental in having the UN create a commission on the Rwanda genocide. I do see though that she is a co-sponsor of Conyers' resolution to impeach Bush.
|
I noticed you dropped your direct criticism of SD for posting this (no biggie, I'm guilty of it myself occasionally, thinking better of things), but still, you're going to have to do better than Wikipedia and the Congressperson's own website as an effective defense against some of the more outlandish things she's done (I seem to recall her thinly veiled suggestions that Bush was actually responsible for 9/11, for example).
Besides, I should leave it to SD to speak further to your counterarguments, since, you know, he actually lives in Ms. McKinney's district and thus actually sees what impact her representation has on his daily life. |
Btw, no matter what else, I don't think it is a problem at all to remind ex convicts that they do still have the right to vote if they fulfill certain requirements.

http://www.alternet.org/story/16172/ McKinney did push for an investigation into what warnings the Bush administration had of 9/11, something that should have been standard procedure. |

So the only concrete criticism is that she sends out her newsletter with out-dated meetings on it. I can't help but think that if someone posted something this empty about Bush, that it would be ridiculed mercilessly, and rightfully so. |
Obviously you missed the *suggestion* that her main constituency is black and, oh by the way--remember that convicts can vote, too!
That's hilarious, yet sad. Like a burning clown. |
tee-hee.
You shush up MrBiggs, if it wasn't for this I would have had a hard time this week without my regular 'Tucker, GA Update.' It's not as good as ramblings on the high school football team we all know and love but it will work for me. |

The Communist Party USA was "very excited" about McKinney's campaign in '04.
http://www.cpusa.org/article/articleview/586/ That doesn't make her a communist of course, but I think it's a fun term to throw around... you know, kind of like "racist". |
Heh. I'm not going to be drawn into an argument on the initial stuff. As far as I'm concerned, it is axiomatic that McKinney's rantings are idiotic, and that her philosophy is very much communistic. Everything else from there is just laughing at her. :)
I also find the "core constituency" comment laughable, too. If a white politician in a district that was BARELY (very key word there that somehow MrB just completely decided to overlook) majority white posed only in pictures with white people, and only showed pictures of black people in the context of an article written to run said black people down, there'd be hell to pay. There's no arguing that. Actually, I'm fairly sure that the 4th District also includes part of Gwinnett County, I think. I'm not even sure the *District* is majority black. DeKalb *County* is majority black by a very small margin, but the Fourth District could well only be a plurality. |

Right...someday I'll compose a tally of all the info I have provided with links and all the info you've done the same with. But I can tell you right now, you lose. Keep enjoying your ignorance, though, they do say its bliss. |
Quote:
I eagerly await your findings. By the way, how does it feel to think you've given a great zinger, but when you go to high-five, there's no one there to complete it? |
Quote:
I don't usually attempt that over the internet, causes cuts on my hand when it hits the computer screen. But if your here just to look for 'buddy strokes', more power to ya bunkie! |
Quote:
So, if I don't directly say it, but only indirectly suggest it, it's okay in your book? |
Quote:
BW, I'll high-five ya, if only to spite cartman. Crim |

I wasn't referring to your computer porn viewing habits, I was talking about high-fives. |

Yay for the US Census Bureau:
White alone: 35.8% Black/AA alone: 53.5% AI/AN alone: 0.2% Asian alone: 4.3% NH/PI alone: 0.1% Other alone: 3.9% 2+ races: 2.2% |
Next time she should get all 324 pacific islanders together for a picture. That would throw people off a little.

Wow, I feel 'elated.' Thanks.:D |

Don't you know? It's impossible for a black person to be racist. |

Well now, that sure would be something. |

I have a feeling we'll see this thread again when the next Pol-related banning comes up. Or maybe one of Bubba's.

Quote:
Maybe it can be all "two for tuesday" and the thread can be started by Bubba AND have him get banned in it. |

As to your 'no argument' suggestion, if my Rep had all white people in her newsletter I doubt I would notice, much less go on a message board and make a rant about it and call her a communist. Out of all the wingnut Rep's out there, I'm sure one has white people in his/her newsletter, and I've never heard anything about it. |
I think there are many people that don't truely understand what 'Communism' means.. it has taken such a warped definition in general, but especially since you need to define if you mean Marxism or Communism in the sense of what was done in Russia, China, etc.

2. That ain't the way it works in DeKalb County. There are lots of middle and upper middle class blacks around here (its one of, if not, THE wealthiest majority-black area in the country), and there are also LOTS of wealthy white liberals. Those numbers might hold true in the far northern reaches of the county, where it's a more normal/stereotypical mixture of wealthy white conservatives and poor black and Latino liberals, but in the bulk of the county, a good number more blacks vote conservative than normal, and a good number more whites vote liberal than normal. This county used to be heavily majority white, so most of the white people who stayed are quite liberal. |
Anyway, I don't want to get caught in an argument of minutiea where I have to defend which definition of a word I used. My only point is that your attacks are nothing but name calling. This congressman is 'inept', a 'communist', etc, because she is to the left of center. Meanwhile, you take people that have researched and pointed criticisms of what Bush has done and call them out for trolling, at best, or ban them, at worst. If someone created a post calling Bush a fascist because of one of his recent speeches, didn't include the speech, but made rambling disections of it including terms like 'idiotic rantings' and suggstions that Bush banged Condoleeza Rice, I doubt you'd accept, 'it's axiomatic' as a rationale.

Agreed. This is a pet peeve of mine. Even worse is when people use Socialism, Marxism and Communism interchangably. |
Quote:
Yup. I went for a period of being very fascinated with what Marx's true feelings were versus what "capital C" Communism was. It's something that has always been an interesting conversation for me (and maybe worth a thread of it's own), although it's been awhile so some of the facts are somewhat hazy to me... but quite clearly the three are very different, yet more often than not like you noted are used interchnageably.... FWIW, I'm not saying anyone in this thread does or does not understand the word, but clearly we have multiple people using different definitions, therefore..... |

Unfortunately, I come here for the FOF talk and not your sophomoric political ramblings. I see that you have made a grand total of 9 posts in the Strategies section. Maybe you should find a new place to troll? |
