She must be hilarious after she's had a couple of daiquiris.

Q: Israel says it has those weapons because it's surrounded by countries that won't recognize its right to exist.

A: I was carrying crayons to the children of Gaza and the Israeli military attacked me.

Q: OK

priceless.

Never seen an attempted puff piece end with "Die in a fire" before.

pxlboy: she is an embarrassment.

Yeah, you think they (both parties) would cull the crazies.

Is she even a Democrat anymore? I vaguely recall her running as a third party candidate.

Antidamascus: Is she even a Democrat anymore? I vaguely recall her running as a third party candidate.

She lost her Congressional reelection in the primary in 2006, ran as a Green in 2008 for President.

Weaver95: You either love her. Or you don't.

I don't care enough about her to care one way or the other.

THIS. She's not even in congress anymore. Who farking cares?

SilentStrider: I'm going to go with... why is this moron still in the news?

Because she's still active in national politics, even if it's just the Green Party. Seems fair enough to me.

What I always want to know when McKinney turns up is this: why is it that GA can manage to sort out it's Fruitcake In Congress problem, but MN keeps sending us back Michelle Bachmann?

Q: I just wondered if you had regrets, if you look back and say, "I wouldn't change a thing," or "Hmmm, maybe I would've handled that differently." That's a human thing to do.

A: I've answered your question.


Sign her up for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

NOW.

She would bring him to tears *so* fast...

Q: Let me ask you this then (because you're black 'n junk), what's your assessment of how the Obama administration is performing so far?

A: I would start by saying we still have restrictive ballot access laws. We still have electronic voting. The Patriot Act, the Secret Evidence Act, the Military Commissions Act are all still law. We still have ethnic and racial disparities. No one is talking about full employment. Our free trade agreements are still on the books. We would rather have these issues addressed.

Sounds like she writes headlines for Fark Independents^TM.

One thing Republicans and Democrats can agree upon is that McKinney is badshiat insane.

Hey, give the lady a break. It's hard to be holding consistent policies with all you white people looking the same and all.

I once had a dream where Cynthia McKinney faced off against Michelle Bachmann in a presidential debate.

The Bestest: I once had a dream where Cynthia McKinney faced off against Michelle Bachmann in a presidential debate.

that's hawt

Ok...read the interview...

I see no difference in her batshiat insane answers and views from a typical Democrat.

None.

Hate Isreal? Check.

Against Free Trade? Check.

Against the Patriot Act? Check.

Medicare for all? Check.

Own your own insane ideas, Democrats.

Crude: I see no difference in her batshiat insane answers and views from a typical Democrat.

That says much more about you than about the "typical Democrat"

Own your own wingnut self

stupid truther biatch almost single handedly destroyed the green party.

morans

JerseyTim: You either love her. Or you don't.

How did that get past an editor?

This is how far I got in the article before I came back here to wonder that same question.

halfof33: stupid truther biatch almost single handedly destroyed the green party.

morans

and whose fault was it that she even won the Green nomination?

Wow.

I'm as leftist as they come and would even support the Green Party, just not her. She's a f*cking wacko.

She's almost a crazy as John Bohner.

/At least she isn't evil, though. She's got that going for her, which is nice.

shivashakti: Wow.

I'm as leftist as they come and would even support the Green Party, just not her. She's a f*cking wacko.

Her ideas aren't terrible, it is just that she is incredibly blunt about how she presents herself. The last part of that interview shows that she has realized that the reporter isn't doing a fluff piece at all but wants to do a hatchet job on her. Unfortunately, she is unable to keep herself from just taking the hatchet to her own self and hacking away.

Um, Uncle Pat Buchanan is against Free Trade. Very few Democrats are actually saying anything about single payer. Fewer talk about Israel, really.

That is, unless, you can actually post direct quotes from Democrats saying that they are against those things. That would be nice.

I'm a democratic socialist. In the elections I'm allowed to vote in, I vote NDP.

Cynthia McKinney is a shining example of why I was in favour of the Dems over a third party in the last US election.

Q: I just wondered if you had regrets, if you look back and say, "I wouldn't change a thing," or "Hmmm, maybe I would've handled that differently." That's a human thing to do.

A: I've answered your question.

Awesome.

Right now I'm doing the work of building the organization that I and several other people founded and that is Dignity.

Cynthia McKinney's a gay Catholic? Huh. Who knew?

Number41: Antidamascus: Is she even a Democrat anymore? I vaguely recall her running as a third party candidate.

She lost her Congressional reelection in the primary in 2006, ran as a Green in 2008 for President.

So, in other words, she's pretty much meaningless to anyone but a Republican shill trying to score points by bringing up old history? Do I have that right?

The Bestest: I once had a dream where Cynthia McKinney faced off against Michelle Bachmann in a presidential debate.

That would be the Bestest

Q: Israel says it has those weapons because it's surrounded by countries that won't recognize its right to exist.

Israel says it has nuclear weapons? News to me!

Israel is surrounded by countries that won't recognize its right to exist?

Actually Israel has four neighbors (not counting Palestine) Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan. None of them question Israel's right to exist.

Crude: Hate Isreal? Check.

Are you trying to say "Israel"?

gravy chugging cretin.: So, in other words, she's pretty much meaningless to anyone but a Republican shill trying to score points by bringing up old history? Do I have that right?

Considering the awful politicians that Democrats are willing to hold on to (we couldn't defeat William Jefferson), it says a lot that she lost the primary.

A tip for the spelling challenged: El is a God that -- according to one legend -- got into a wrestling match with a man. In commemoration, Israel means "wrestles El", so you know the word ends with "el", not "al".

Cynthia McKinney was a fine example of an outstanding Democrat, it was a shame that the Capitol Hill Police was able to raise enough money to insure her defeat.

chipspastic: The Bestest: I once had a dream where Cynthia McKinney faced off against Michelle Bachmann in a presidential debate.

that's hawt

No it's not! McKinney is fat! And black.

That said: I got to the first line before I had to turn away from the crazy. I'd say she was the Democratic version of Alan Keyes, but unfortunately she's actually been elected to something.

/she is also singlehandedly the reason why I can't take the American Greens seriously

12 years? She was a member of congress for 12 years? Fark me, the people in this country are dumb as wood. I need to move

smitty04: Actually Israel has four neighbors (not counting Palestine) Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan. None of them question Israel's right to exist.

But they have tried to put an end to Israel's right to exist a few times.

No they haven't

mat catastrophe: Her ideas aren't terrible, it is just that she is incredibly blunt about how she presents herself.


She has some terrible ideas too. She's a truther, and she claims that 5,000 prisoners from Orleans Parish Prison were taken into the swamps and executed after Katrina.

She's a nutjob. All she managed to do for the Green Party was make people think they were even crazier than before. Whoever chose her to represent them should be fired. And she should be put in a mental home. Forever. And Ever. Ramen.

but who killed TuPac?

jehovahs witness protection: The one good thing that came from here being in office was naming Memorial Drive Cynthia Mckinney Parkway. We all know NOT to take that exit on I-285.

They've unnamed it. It's back to Memorial Drive.
