Why Would Cynthia McKinney Slug a Cop?
by James Buchanan
Normally I would have no sympathy for a minority politician who went berserk and belted a law officer. The image of a Black woman wailing away at a cop is another hallmark moment for our modern Babylonian Congress. In all probability she will get away with this latest episode, which would have ended the career of a White politician. The issue however is not as clear cut as it may seem at first glance.
Cynthia McKinney is in many ways a typical Black Congressperson, demanding a bigger welfare state, insisting on more tax money from working Americans for the mostly minority non-working class. But why was she singled out? Out of all the minorities in Congress, why was there an incident with her?
Cynthia McKinney has been one of the few people in all of Congress, who is willing to tell the truth about Israel. She doesn’t like its long history of abuse of the Palestinians and she doesn’t like rewarding the Israelis with our tax money. She was targeted by the Israeli Lobby and was voted out of office, but came back and won reelection. She is one of the most well-known members of Congress and it is almost impossible to believe that a police officer assigned to the White House would not recognize her.
It seems a complete certainty that the police were deliberately harassing Ms. McKinney with encouragement from the pro-Israel neocon criminals in the Bush regime. The Capitol police should be able to recognize members of Congress as part of their job. While it’s conceivable that a new police officer might not recognize a brand new member of Congress, Ms. McKinney has been there for a while and it’s no great surprise that she got upset when a cop tried to stop her.
Belting a police officer however is never a good career move. Ms. McKinney should expect to be harassed by a government that is dominated by Zionist neocons and the Israeli Lobby. Giving in to the petty provocations by an evil police state, just gives them an excuse to prosecute you. Any Congressman who fails to do the bidding of the Israelis can expect to be stopped by police, searched and harassed regardless of how many years he or she may have served in Congress.
