Representative Awful
Cynthia McKinney's insanity and hypocrisy.I don't mean to be such a pain in the ass to Cynthia McKinney (D., Ga.), but it appears this is the fastest route to her brain. According to the Washington Post, in an interview with a Berkeley radio station Ms. McKinney suggested that the Bush administration knew about the September 11 attacks but did nothing to stop them. Oh, no, wait -- she doesn't suggest that, she says it:
We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11th. . . . What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? . . . What do they have to hide?
Catch that? "Why did they not warn the innocent people... who were needlessly murdered?" In other words, the Bush administration knew these people were going to be murdered and they did nothing about it. She also adds that "persons close to this administration are poised to make huge profits off America's new war." These are not complicated dots to connect. Ms. McKinney believes, or says she believes -- not necessarily the same thing, of course Q that the Bush administration is guilty of aiding and abetting the mass murder of American citizens for profit.
When confronted, McKinney backpedaled a few millimeters. In a statement she explained: "I am not aware of any evidence showing that President Bush or members of his administration have personally profited from the attacks of 9-11. A complete investigation might reveal that to be the case."
I see. Well, just let me just say that I am not aware of any evidence that Ms. McKinney has murdered several children or that she personally profited from sleeping with the entire defensive squad of the Atlanta Falcons. However, a complete investigation might reveal that to be the case.
Meanwhile, while we await the findings of that long-overdue investigation, I can add that there is ample evidence that Ms. McKinney is dumber than rock salt and more repugnant than Yasser Arafat's three-week-old underwear.
Note how that statement does not actually retract the truly hateful accusation. Ms. McKinney lets stand the suggestion that Americans were "needlessly murdered" because the Bush administration knew about the September 11 attack and willingly did nothing about it for purely selfish reasons. If this were true, Bush would certainly be impeached and might even be executed. Of course, it's not true. But truth isn't one of those things that come through too clear by way of the radio transmitters in McKinney's fillings.
She seems to think that for her to raise her own paranoid, America-hating, crypto-Marxist conspiratorial delusions is all we need to justify investigating them. "What is undeniable," she says, "is that corporations close to the administration have directly benefited from the increased defense spending arising from the aftermath of September 11th." "America's credibility, both with the world and with her own people, rests upon securing credible answers to these questions."
Actually, Ms. McKinney, your own credibility rests upon your securing serious and prolonged psychotherapy.
I thought this sort of thing went the way of Thomas Nast cartoons. But I guess Ms. McKinney actually sees a Bush White House consisting of fat cats in tuxedos exchanging bags of money with the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Alas, it is impossible to convince lefties that being rich often serves as the best insulation against greed. The idea that Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and George Bush would start a war in order to get an additional few million when they have plenty of millions already, only makes sense to lefties who believe being rich is a sin (unless, of course, you're a rich liberal).
McKinney's hypocrisy is so concentrated it could eat through metal. The only politician I know of who actively tried to profit from Sept. 11, was Cynthia McKinney herself. She's the one who went whoring after Saudi Arabia's blood money after the attacks. (In fact, this column was supposed to be just a one-paragraph intro to a reprint of my column about that shameful episode.)
Sen. Zell Miller caught another aspect of Ms. McKinney's hypocrisy: In a press release he said, "At first glance, it would be easy to pass this off as just another loony statement. But at second glance, it is more than that. It is very dangerous and irresponsible."
Senator Miller also noted: "I hope President Bush will remember that this is the same Congresswoman who -- during each of his State of the Union addresses -- arrives early to get a coveted aisle seat, then leans way over as Bush walks down the aisle, hoping he will give her a kiss for all to see on national TV."
Meanwhile another fellow Georgian came to her defense. "She's not as random as people think," McKinney's friend Jack Kingston (R., Ga.) says -- in her defense. "People always want to hear a political conspiracy theory." So, in other words, McKinney knows that this is just a conspiracy theory. And this is supposed to let her off the hook? For a representative to tell the American public, in order to help her own career, that the government murdered thousands of its own citizens for material gain is disgusting (it also will undoubtedly be picked up by our enemies in the Arab world, mark my words). Of course, it may not be as bad as the accusation that Bush killed thousands of Americans, but we at least know that accusation isn't true. Meanwhile, this accusation is the nicest thing her own friends can say about her.
What a truly awful woman.

Chris Weinkoph
Rep. Cynthia McKinney: Not Just Nutty
FrontPageMagazine.com | April 10, 2002
WHEN REP. CYNTHIA MCKINNEY made the asinine suggestion that President Bush was responsible for Sept. 11, she surely never thought her allegations would travel far.
After all, it's not as if the Georgia Democrat uttered her infamous remarkQthat the Administration foresaw the terrorist attacks, but let them take place so that the armaments industry could profit from a war on terrorism -- on the House floor. Instead, she chose as obscure and disreputable a media outlet as possible, San FranciscoUs KPFA, the Pacifica radio station for Bay Area radicals turned off by the stifling conservatism of NPR.
Little did she know that the Washington Post had its ear tuned in to the voice of the far left, and that nearly three weeks later, the paper would publish her comments. McKinney would soon become the target of national ridicule. Fellow Georgia Democrat Sen. Zell Miller described her conspiracy theory as "loony," as well as "dangerous and irresponsible." The congresswomanUs hometown newspaper, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, derided her as "the most prominent nut" among conspiracy-peddling "nut cases."
Such scorn, appropriate and warranted though it is, doesnUt quite go far enough. McKinney deserves not only to be mocked and ridiculed, but censured and condemned, too.
Consider the implications of her suggestion that the White House chose not to "warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered" because "persons close to this Administration are poised to make huge profits off AmericaUs new war." If it were true, Bush and several other Administration officials could easily be found guilty of treasonQa crime punishable by death. These arenUt the sorts of allegations to be bandied about lightly, without direct, solid evidence.
But McKinney has no evidence to speak ofQno documentation showing that the White House knew about the attack and ignored it, or that BushUs singular ambition as president is to further enrich his wealthy friends.
In the controversy that immediately followed the publication of her comments, the Congresswoman issued a statement admitting as much. "I am not aware of any evidence showing that President Bush or members of his administration have personally profited from the attacks of Sept. 11," she admitted, adding that a "complete investigation might reveal that to be the case." McKinney seemingly believes that baseless conjecture is sufficient grounds for an investigation, and that the President of the United States is guilty until proven innocent.
Notably, the Congresswoman let stand her unsupported allegation that the Administration knew the attacks were coming. The only question left in her mind seems to be motive, but she has some ideas. "What is undeniable," her statement claims, "is that corporations close to the Administration have directly benefited from the increased defense spending arising from the aftermath of Sept. 11."
This is the sort of quackery elevated to the level of fine art in Oliver StoneUs JFK -- the anyone-who-stands-to-gain-must-be-responsible school of thought. After all, there are many people who stood to gain from 9/11 -- an attack which, by the way, was largely planned and plotted during the Clinton years.
As long as McKinney is out to find the real killers of Sept. 11, there are some other spurious leads that she may want to investigate. For starters, there are her old friends in the Clinton Administration. Maybe they knew all about the attacks, but declined to tell their successors, in a grand scheme to make Republicans look bad and usher in the federalization of airport-security workers. Then there's the Red Cross, which profited more from that infamous day than anyone. And, of course, there's McKinney, who thought she stood to gain by peddling outlandish conspiracy theories to the easily duped listeners of KPFA.
True, there's no evidence of any such plots, but a complete investigation might reveal them to be the case.
In the US, few people outside the KPFA faithful take mindless and defamatory comments like McKinney's seriously. But it's a different story in the Middle East, where the vast majority of "the Arab street" believes that Israel and/or the CIA is responsible for the events of Sept. 11. Hateful Arab delusions have long been nurtured by state-owned schools and media outlets, and now no less an authority than a U.S. congresswoman has indirectly lent her support.
This isn't the first time McKinney has blown kisses to the radical Arab world. Last Fall, when Mayor Rudy Giuliani declined a $10 million disaster-relief donation from Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal after the prince made comments blaming America's Middle East policies for the attacks, McKinney smelled an opportunity. She wrote a letter to his Royal Highness in which she not only supported his basic take on world events, but also asked that he send his check to a number of charities working on behalf of black Americans.
Bin Talal declined the offer, but since then, the New York Post reports, he's undertaken a new philanthropic endeavor. Last week he donated $27 million to the families of Palestinian "martyrs," i.e., terrorists.
Sometimes, it's more than just loony or nutty to nuzzle up to the nation's enemies and recycle their rhetoric -- it's downright disloyal.

McKINNEY CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS: ARAB/MIDDLE EASTERN GROUPS, INDIVIDUALS HEAVILY REPRESENTEDShocking revelations about terrorist-sympathetic organizations
April 16, 2002
ATLANTA: Fast on the heels of inflammatory public statements by U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), alleging the Bush administration's "close ties" to energy and defense companies may be guiding U.S. policy in the war on terrorism, the Southeastern Legal Foundation today released a summary report of McKinney's 1999-2000 campaign contributions, revealing that 21 percent of her financial contributions of $101 or more came from Arab or Middle Eastern-connected individuals and organizations, including the American-Muslim Council and the Council on American/Islamic Relations, both of which maintain ties or have expressed support for terrorist organizations.
o Of 397 contributors who gave more than $101 to McKinney's 1999-2000 election campaign, eighty-three (83) were identifiably Arab or Middle Eastern-connected -- 21 percent of these contributors to her campaign. (Source: Federal Elections Commission disclosure reports, Georgia Secretary of State disclosure reports)
o Among the organizations identified in her disclosures, the American-Muslim Council (AMC) and the Council on American/Islamic Relations (CAIR) were included.
-- AMC "were busy - on various undeniable, on-the-record occasions - expressing sympathy for the 1993 World Trade Center bombers and support for terrorist outfits like Hamas and Hezbollah." (The Weekly Standard, Nov. 26, 2001)
-- Abdurahman Alamoudi, founder and former executive director with the AMC, attended an anti-Israel protest outside the White House on Oct. 28, 2000. "Alamoudi revved up the crowd, saying: "I have been labeled by the media in New York as being a supporter of Hamas. Anybody supporters of Hamas here?" The crowd cheered. "Hear that, Bill Clinton? We are all supporters of Hamas . . . I wish they added that I am also a supporter of Hezbollah.""(Both groups are on the State Department's official list of terrorist organizations) (The Phoenix, Monday, April 1, 2002, quoting from Salon writer Jake Tapper, Sept. 26, 2001).
-- "The record of the Council on American/Islamic Relations (CAIR) . . . is no more encouraging. When interviewed by Salon's Jake Tapper on Sept. 26, CAIR Communication Director Ibrahim Hooper refused to condemn Osama bin Laden. CAIR founder Nahid Awad, who appeared with Bush at the Washington Islamic Center, has argued that "[t]here is ample evidence indicating that both the Mossad and the Egyptian Intelligence played a role in the [1993 World Trade Center] explosion." And Siraj Wahaj, who has served as a CAIR board member, has been described by federal prosecutor Mary Jo White as a possible conspirator in the '93 bombing." (New Republic, Nov. 12, 2001)
-- CAIR joined with other Islamic groups on Dec. 4, 2001 to petition President Bush to remove the Holy Land Fund (HLF) from the list of terrorist-supporting organizations whose assets were frozen by Executive Order following Sept. 11, describing the group as "charitable."
o Among those with Arab or Middle Eastern-sounding names on McKinney's disclosures, several were listed with no identifiable occupation or, in one instance, a so-called "import company" was listed as employer.
"Congresswoman McKinney has alleged serious charges amounting to high treason against President George W. Bush and members of his administration based on 'relationships' with energy and defense companies," said Phil Kent, SLF President. "If we are to give any credence to her baseless claims, the American people deserve to know that McKinney's financial 'relationships' - her campaign contributors - are heavily represented by Arab and Middle Eastern-connected individuals, as well as organizations which have expressed sympathy for terrorist organizations. If McKinney's standard of review is 'relationships,'then her 'relationships' - and the influence those relationships have on her actions - must also be investigated."
In a recent op-ed by Ms. McKinney ("Bush must answer Sept. 11 questions," Atlanta Journal & Constitution, April 15, 2002, p. A10), she establishes a standard for review for investigation into Bush administration policy: "And what role does the close relationship between the Bush administration and the oil and defense industries play, if any, in the policies being pursued by this administration? . . . On the other hand, what is undeniable is that corporations close to the administration have directly benefited from the increased defense spending arising from the aftermath of Sept. 11 . . . Major financial conflicts of interest involving the president, the attorney general, the vice president and others in the administration have been and continue to be exposed . . .."
"If Ms. McKinney is serious about her strict standards of review, then Congress and the FEC have no alternative but to investigate her 'ties' to the Arab and Middle Eastern world and the influence brought to bear on her actions," said Kent.
LATE-BREAKING UPDATE, April 16, 2002 PM
MCKINNEY ACCEPTS CONTRIBUTIONS FROM HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH SUPPORTER
ATLANTA: As a follow-up to today's earlier statement from Southeastern Legal Foundation regarding U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney's (D-GA) list of contributors from the 1999-2000 campaign cycle, SLF researchers this afternoon discovered the following information:
On April 17, 2000, McKinney received a $1,000 contribution from Abdurahman Alamoudi*, the founder and former executive director of the American-Muslim Council (AMC) -- a separate contribution from the $1,000 contributed by the AMC that day. No occupation is listed for Mr. Alamoudi.
(See above -- Mr. Alamoudi has publicly stated his support for both Hamas and Hezbollah; both groups are on the State Department's official list of terrorist organizations)
"Members of Congress, as well as the Federal Elections Commission, should investigate the fundraising sources and activities of Ms. McKinney, who has been so critical of President Bush yet maintains a troubling and questionable list of financial supporters," said Phil Kent, SLF President. "This is an outrage, and Ms. McKinney should be thoroughly questioned about as to her motivations and actions in recent months, including an open letter apologizing to a Saudi prince due to the fact that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani returned a $10 million relief effort contribution because the prince publicly blamed U.S. foreign policy for inspiring the attacks."

My Opinion On The Way You (In The Media)
Are Handling The McKinney Case
By Paul Walker
4-18-2I would appreciate it very much if you would cease the politically-motivated dirt-digging and attacks on Ms McKinney's character and instead do an objective jounalistic investigation into the claims that she has put forward. No matter what her motives may be, the facts are the facts.
Fact: Carlyle Group directly benefits from an eternal Orwellian war against the "Evil Ones".
Fact: The bin Ladins and the Bushes have been in bed finacially raking in hundreds of millions together on big oil, construction and defense contracts for decades.
Fact: The "War on Terrorism" has been planned for several years in the back rooms of the Council on Foreign Relations as a pretext for control of the Caspian Basin oil reserves (see Brzezinski, Grand Chessboard).
Fact: The CIA supervises the Pakistani ISI intelligence who are instrumental in funding and training terrorists all over the Eurasia and the Middle East.
Fact: Clinton had numerous opportunities to nail bin Ladin and refused to do it.
Fact: Bin Ladin was, and still is a CIA-ISI pointman/asset.
Fact: The CIA put the murderous Taliban into power (a specialty of theirs) in 1996 and funded them (and bin Ladin) right up through last summer.
Fact: The CIA met with bin Ladin in July in Dubai (Le Figaro)
Fact: The US government had not only prior knowledge of the attacks of September 11th, but deliberately created all the necessary conditions for it to happen. For historical precedents see, National Security Archives for the Operation Northwoods document and Day of Deceit by Robert Stinnet.
Fact: The media is chockfull of gutless, spineless shills, operative minions, and cheerleeding propagandists who are lying to the people, complicit in the attacks on both the WTC and on our Constitutional rights and couldn't whip up an honest investigative piece to save their souls.
So get your facts straight and start telling the truth if you have any patriotism, humanity, guts or integrity left.
I challenge any of you jounalist shills out there to refute any of the points I have made.

For the story behind the story...Wednesday, April 17, 2002; 3:38 p.m. EDT
Poll Shocker: Nearly Half Support McKinney's 9-11 Conspiracy Theory
Pundits and politicians alike have slammed Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., for requesting an investigation into whether President George Bush was tipped off ahead of time that the 9-11 terrorist attacks were coming.
But an online poll taken Wednesday by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution showed an astonishingly high level of support for the Georgia Democrat's conspiracy theory - with nearly half of those responding to the unscientific survey saying the White House had a heads-up on the attacks.
"Are you satisfied the Bush administration had no advanced warning of the Sept. 11 attacks?" asked www.ajc.com.
According to the most recent results available, a full 46 percent of those responding agreed with the statement, "No, I think officials knew it was coming."
Another two percent were receptive to McKinney's call for a probe, agreeing with the statement, "I'm not sure. Congress should investigate."
A slim majority - 52 percent - said they were fully satisfied that Bush officials had no advanced warning.
Though over 23,000 Atlanta Journal-Consitution readers had responded by midafternoon, the poll has been mysteriously withdrawn from the paper's web site. But the web site FreeRepublic.com tracked results throughout the morning, with posters there encouraging visitors to vote against McKinney.
Though her congressional colleagues have mostly offered harsh criticism - Sen. Zell Miller, D-Ga., called her remarks "dangerous" - Rep. Harold Ford, D-Tenn., suggested yesterday that McKinney's 9-11 theory warranted further investigation.
Calling McKinney an "independent voice in Congress," Ford said that while he hoped her accusation that Bush knew the 9-11 attacks were coming wasn't true, "I hope to see her this week and maybe even inquire about it." (See: Ford to 'Inquire' About Charge Bush Had 9-11 Heads-up)
Still, despite Ford's comments - and a stunning level of apparent grassroots backing - other Bush critics seem to be treating McKinney's theory like it was radioactive.
The press offices of Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., did not return calls asking whether they supported the Georgia Democrat's call for a 9-11 probe into what Bush knew.
McKinney set off the controversy during a March 25 appearance on a California radio show, where she said:
"What did this administration know, and when did it know it about the events of Sept. 11? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? What do they have to hide?"
