Neal Boortz backs "Fair Tax” supporter Hank Johnson in Ga.

snip;
There is some good news from yesterday's primaries in Georgia. Last Evening's Moonbat Ball didn't go quite as planned. Cynthia (the cutest little Jihadist in Congress) McKinney invited her fellow moonbat and bosom buddy Cindy Sheehan (Omigod! Two Cindys!) to her victory party last night ... only there was no victory!

There were more votes cast against Cynthia McKinney yesterday than votes for her.

"with Democrat Hank Johnson who, by the way, is a supporter of the FairTax!

Link

Of course Republicans are crossing party lines in droves in part because of this issue, among others

snip;
I live in your district - moved here in 2002 just off of Memorial Drive (AKA Cynthia McKinney Parkway).
From Neal Boortz's website, I understand you are a supporter of the Fair Tax. I cannot impress upon you how important that issue is to me and my friends who live in this district. We all plan to cross party lines if need be to support Fair Tax friendly candidates.
You received my vote in the primary and will receive it in the run-off.


WhoDaThunkIt?

support Cynthia either. I don't live in her dist. so it doesn't matter.

Sometimes Cynthisa is GREAT, but sometimes, she goes over the top! I don't doubt some Pubs crossed party lines, but I also think there were quite a few people in her district who have been embarrassed by her actions a few too many times, and voted for her opposition.

"Fair tax" is another rightwing doublespeak term.

You have to understand that when the GOP think tanks or fRight wing radio label (frame) an issue, it's course is forever set in stone for some.

Cynthia has been labeled too hot to handle, so rather than standing up, some gop enablers sit down, shut up, ands commence with nodding in agreement with the other side.

The types who think African American congressmembers should know their place.

And why they're so obsessed with the confrontation with the capital cop I will never know.

At least according to the link LincolnMcGrath provided.

Why he wants to move the Georgia 4th district to the right is anyone's guess. Why he wants to replace a dove with a hawk is beyond human reasoning.

I've looked at Johnson's web page, and his whole appeal is "vote for me because Cynthia has to go". It's an ugly, negative campaign that will have no positive result. It's disgraceful that any responsible Dem is supporting it.

And every African American woman in the country will take Cynthia's defeat as a sign that they aren't welcome in this party anymore. You know that's going to be how they'll interpret it. Voting for Johnson is dissing the sistahs.

Then again, so's Hezbollah.

About the second part anyway!

Her donor list reads like a who's who of Islamic organizations, she called Al Gore a racist, her website is hosted by a far right organization... should I go on?

She did not call Al Gore a racist, you need to find better

DU hero

to quote.

Lets discuss your knowledge of who is hosting her website and how the knowledge came into your possession!

Cynthia's site is owned by a far right organization.

Never mind that Gore's campaign manager was black.

Oh wait, you just did.

:Rofl:

I don't see the word racist above, were you lying, or was that meant to confuse passers by?


Nice to see you came around and switched from calling ISLAMICS to Islamic/Muslim. Why the switch? And for the record, why do you have a problem with Muslim groups? Skin color? Religion? :shrug:

So to be called a racisy, one has to actually have the term used.

If I said you were prejudiced against black people, that wouldn't be calling you a racist.
If I said you don't care much for hispanic people, that wouldn't be calling you a racist.

I get it. You're right. McKinney never said Gore was a racist. LOL!

Nice to see you came around and switched from calling ISLAMICS to Islamic/Muslim.

:shrug:

Same thing!

You just read off the GOPs talking points here.

Nothing posted here about McKinney is inaccurate.

n/t

That is NOT an oxymoron.

"Fair tax" is just another name for cutting taxes on the rich and starving public services.

Think it through.

If you really think that a fair tax is a Democratic issue, then you're a Libertarian, not a Democrat, and you don't realize it.

so be it. I can't be a libertarian though since I believe in so
many good things the government does, such as controlling the
destruction of environment, fight drug addiction, help the truly
needy, fund research which helps all such as the NH institute, etc.

Please see my post below regarding taxes.

because you're just working against your own best interests (oh, unless you're a millionaire or billionaire). anybody that supports that RW, selfish, greed-head crap is an idiot, stooge, and sucker.

and any other names that you want,but I like the fairtax (HR25). The current tax code is 60,000 pages of horse shit. Even the tax panel said that it is the only tax plan that UN-TAXES the poor among us. Former Clinton labor sec. Robert Riche has been wanting to get rid of the most REGRESSIVE taxes on the poor. That being the pay roll taxes,which the rich stop paying after about $90,000.
And it's not only a RW. plan,there are many progressives out here that support it and I'm proud to be one of them. If the fairtax or WHEN it gets passed as written,it will be the best thing that has ever happed for us.

I might be new here and I may be young butI do'nt care if a right wing bible thumbercomes up with a cure for HIV I'm not going to hold their poltics againest them, because if it helps the country it helps the world.

When it gets passed, you will be in poverty, period, Taxed to the hilt on every nickle you spend.

Robert Reich supports the plan or not. What I said is he has called the payroll tax the BIGGEST and most REGRESSIVE tax on the poor. And if I will be in poverty,then I'll never pay a nickel,dime or quarter in taxes. PLUS I'll get all my welfare programs and on top of that I'll get check to cover all of my taxes.

You need to study the fair tax scam a bit closer.

I've been behind this plan for over three years. I think that I'm much more informed about it than you, and if you would like to start a new thread about it, I'd welcome the debate, as I'm sure many others would. And might I go so far as to say, that I think you'll be shocked to find out just how much support there is for this plan on our side. So the challange has been made!!!
You'll have to start the thread, as I can not start one being a newbie and all.But I double dog dare ya....

with being a "hard-core Democrat".

Nobody bought it when Jerry Brown tried that combo.

This "FairTax" idea, from what I can see, is about shifting the tax burden from the wealthy to the middle class, working class and poor.

Total Taxes collected should be a fixed percentage of total incomes reported
by all, personal & corporate. IOW taxes should not be allowed to creep up or
slide down, based on earnings of people.

The higher your income, the more tax you should have to pay. If you income is
1 million $, you may have to pay $200,000 in taxes. If your income is $100,000
you should be paying about $7500 in tax. If your income is under $25,000, you
should be paying NO tax. This can be done easily by giving every one a high
personal exemption like $25,000 and then a flat tax above that.

I do not believe excessive taxes on high earners benefit us all. It is after all
the high earners who generally create jobs. My wife works at a large medical
practice where the doctors make excellent incomes. There are 40 doctors and 100
employees. If the doctors were taxed to death, some of them would "quit" working,
retire. That would not help many of those gainfully employed.

I worked for 23 years at a privately owned company. Made a good living wage.
Eventually, the owner of business decided to close shop since the profits were
not worth the effort required. During high profit years the company paid a lot
of taxes. When business was slow, there was no reverse tax money from the IRS
inspite of the losses. If the business was taxed at a lower rate, it may have
survived the slow business years better.

Just my 2 cents.

I have heard that the only Dem more ethically challenged than McKinney is that Jefferson guy with the freezer full of money.

to Hank?

to Hank?

nothing will. A fair tax democrat, isn't that an oxymoron or is he just a regular moron? Because there sure as hell isn't anything "fair" about the "fairtax".

AS A COUNTY COMMISSIONER, HANK JOHNSON HAD AN ETHICS COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST HIM FOR ILLEGAL USE OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS. HE HAD A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHEN HE TOOK MONEY FROM LANDFILL DEVELOPERS AT A TIME WHEN LANDFILL ISSUES WERE BEFORE HIS COMMISSION.

HE HAD SEVERAL LAWSUITS AND GARNISHMENTS FILED AGAINST HIM FOR UNPAID DEBTS.

HE DIDN'T EVEN PAY HIS TAXES, RESULTING IN FEDERAL TAX LIENS AGAINST HIM AND HIS BUSINESS. HE FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY AND WAS SUSPENDED FROM THAT FOR FAILURE TO PAY WHAT HE HAD PROMISED.

ETHICS VIOLATIONS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST, LAWSUITS, TAX LIENS, GARNISHMENTS

Right. :puke:

PAID FOR BY THE CYNTHIA MCKINNEY FOR CONGRESS CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.

(FX: several police sirens)

(Rep. McKinney) I'M CYNTHIA MCKINNEY AND I APPROVED THIS MESSAGE.

While he's saying I have no proof of something in post 26, and is right trying to show some difference between "Islamic" and "Muslim," and trying to say McKinney didn't call Al Gore a racist when she said "he has a low negro tolerance level," he's twice avoided calls for proof of things in this thread.

But, I won't be participating in your 'lock n delete' strategy this evening.

Hank Johnson, Commissioner Larry Johnson, and Commissioner Connie Stokes used money out of their campaign accounts to contribute funds to the Committee for a Better DeKalb (PAC) to help pass the 2005 Bond Referendum? According to the Georgia Ethics in Government Act


http://www.godekalb.com/article.php/20060708105437688

The adverse issue the public is unaware of involve the 2005 Bond Referendum and the actions our CEO Vernon Jones and the DeKalb Board of Commissioners engaged in which alleged violated the Georgia Ethics in Government Act.

Would you like me to get Viola Davis on the phone for you? lol

campaign ad.

Edited to add: And an opinion from someone who calls him(her)self "voterwhocares".

anything, except for her campaign commercial.

Or try google?

I'll call Viola Davis in the morning and get more info.

still running strong.

Thanks for kicking my thread in my absence.

I'll just call peachpundit!

I'll just call Neal Boortz, you source for all things factual!

LOL!

I'll ask NYCGirl, since she was one who asked. So when are you going to make that phone call?

only insist I prove the building really existed.

Just a documented source. All we need.

Oh Boy!

In post 100, you said, "I already IM ed the info to those who asked." Well, also IMed "those who asked," specifically, the other party in this subthread. She says all you've done is send the same link that doesn't show anything you're asserting.

You've also not made that call.

Cop out.

That is why Hank's camp was quick to label the charges as lies. Oh wait, that never happened.

Every claim made in this thread by me has borne out true. I sent the same info I posted here. Is that the wrong way to go about it?

And seriously, are we doing this as a conference call or what?

You made a claim. You were challenged.

You provided a link. It did not say what you claimed.

You said you'd make a call to get the info. You did not.

You claimed you IMed those who asked for the info. You did not - at least not to the two in this thread who asked for it!

You gave another link. Still nothing in it that says what you've asserted.

Every claim made in this thread by me has borne out true.

Only in your head.

Ethics Complaint: Viola Davis with Unhappy Taxpayer and Voter Alliance vs CEO Vernon Jones/Dekalb Board of Commissioners on November 7, 2005. The statements to follow are alleged sinister and illegal activity submitted by the Unhappy Taxpayer & Voter to the State Ethics Commission.

Unhappy Taxpayer & Voter Alliance want to make the public aware of the following facts:

Did you know that CEO Vernon Jones, Commissioner Burrell Ellis, Commissioner Hank Johnson, Commissioner Larry Johnson, and Commissioner Connie Stokes used money out of their campaign accounts to contribute funds to the Committee for a Better DeKalb (PAC) to help pass the 2005 Bond Referendum? According to the Georgia Ethics in Government Act, this is totally illegal.

Did you know that over $270,000 dollars was spent to influence the taxpayers and voters to pass the 2005 Bond Referendum and to ensure it passage the Executive branch of DeKalb governement cut public comment to make sure the public did not hear any opposing voices?
Please read the ethics complaint filed November 7, 2005 below.

July 25, 2006 — More proof emerges of GOP dirty tricks against Cynthia McKinney. The GOP and their media trollops in Georgia are attempting to limit voter turnout in the August 8 primary by telling voters that if they did not vote in the July 18th primary, they cannot vote in the August 8th runoff election. This Jim Crow-era attempt to interfere with the election has all the hallmarks of Karl Rove. In addition, the Republicans are filling Hank Johnson's (McKinney's opponent) coffers with cash. Johnson is seen as a "Republicrat" and a person who will not question the Bush administration on anything substantial. Of course, true to form, DailyKos supports Johnson and his thinly-veiled GOP agenda as the information gatekeepers and perception managers they are. Visit the McKinney campaign website.


In Georgia 4th District, its a return to yesteryear and Jim Crow — and some so-called Democrats are in on it (also a return to yesteryear).

(well, I won't deny the last one. Anyone right of Chomsky is a "republicrat" in some eyes.)

I'm not surprised Marc Cooper is moving in for the kill. Ever since the Pacifica war, Cooper has made it clear that he hates rank-and-file activist types, especially if they aren't white men.

BTW, what the f$%k is the FairTax? I have a sinking feeling it's another plot to shift the burden from the rich to the poor, with an Orwellian name like that for the concept.

a huge sales tax to replace all income taxes.

--just another scam on the part of the selfish greedhead pig "Libertarians" and repukes to reel in the suckers and stooges and make them pay a disproportionate share of taxes while they go off to their vaults like Scrooge McDuck to count their billions.

I think she may pull through, much like she did in 2004 against the other GOPcrats.

She has a lot of support among the downtrodden -- it must be because she constantly stands up for them, unlike Mr. Johnson, who was actually under serious investigation for his crimes, unlike McKinney's non-incident with a cop. Every time I have met Ms. McKinney she has given a good impression on me. She is a powerful voice and I support her 100%!

Among the many Democratic donors to Johnson are former GA Governor Roy Barnes and Jim Butler, a Columbus lawyer whose firm has helped bankroll the Democratic Party and its candidates over the past decade.

uppity black women who, unlike the "respectable" Congresscritters, actually tells the truth about Bush and exposes the others for the lily-livered enablers that they are.

ANYONE who wastes time introducing bills to investigate the death of Tupac, slaps police officers, infers Al Gore is a racist (had to say "infer" so someone's obsession with symantics doesn't go into overdrive), accepts money from Islamic sources, plays the race card everytimes something happens to her, etc.

Remember, McKinney is a congresswoman who's #1 priority is serving her district. A majority in her district feel she hasn't done the job.

Cynthia McKinney may have implied that Al Gore is a racist. You inferred that she had done so.

(My college writing instructor was a stickler on this pointl)

... I've never known him to have more than one black person around him at any given time."

as I said. :-)

ISLAMICS!!!!!!!!

TUPAC!!!!!!!!!


Talk about the race card. :eyes:

Was Frank Lautenberg wasting time introducing legislation honoring Bruce Springsteen? Or are you unaware of these kinds of bills?

Aren't you?

Or are you saying that Muslims have no right to participate in American politics?

"dangerous ground", as someone put it in another context recently.

like Rafeeq Jaber – president, Islamic Association for Palestine, a Hamas offshoot.

nice. :eyes:

Hey, did you call Dekalb's office this morning and get that info you kept avoiding?

...Islamic groups with ties to terrorists.

whose president Greg Casey is a known Bush supporter.

Ah.

...'cause he supports Hank Johnson! LOL!

And Neil Boortz. Johnson has a huge following among people who want the Democrats to sit still and make nice with Bush.

apparently not alot of people IN GEORGIA like McKinney.

Nearly the entire state legislature from her district support her, as well as do the civil rights heros, the King family and Congressman Lewis.

I see a lot of rich white people not supporting her. Hmm, I see a trend here.

She has thin support.

Nearly the entire state legislature from her district support her

Really? Like who?

the King family and Congressman Lewis.

Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a civil-rights pioneer and the senior member of the Georgia Democratic congressional delegation, told Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) to stop making political hay out of her scuffle a week ago with a U.S. Capitol Police officer.

Lewis said other members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) had also told McKinney to back off, adding that she had little support in the group. It held an emergency meeting last night to discuss the issue, a House source said.

http://www.hillnews.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/Frontpage/040606/lewis.html

So, what can you show us on King Family support of McKinney?

..drove in a funeral procession down 78 West into Decatur, then back up 78 East towards Stone Mt. Not a McKinney sign in site. Johnson signs were like wild flowers.

On edit: Don't want to make you mad by editing this post, but when are you going to make that phone call?

the support of boortz tells me all i need to know

Statement from Johnson campaign:

Hank has expressed a willingness to carefully consider the FairTax proposal if elected to Congress. He will not reject it without giving it the consideration it deserves. He has never expressed outright support for the FairTax, however.

The only source that Johnson supports the Fair Tax is Neal Boortz - and LincolnMcGrath.

That's sort of like "considering" supporting Bush.

After all, this is someone who mysteriously the first person on the internet to find out who supposedly owns Ms McKinney's website.

http://www.peachpundit.com/2006/07/31/the-jury-is-in/

Oh, and I was the second person on the internet to find out who supposedly owns Ms McKinney's website. LOL!

This has gone well past the point of productive discussion
