Is Cynthia McKinney really running for the Greens?
I read it on here today, but couldn't find anything more about it.

I wish she would get back into national politics somehow, even if this isn't the best year to do it. She's a bit too... enthusiastic at times, but I've always admired her spunk and her refusal to suffer fools.

1. She was targeted.
There is NO doubt in my mind.
There is also NO doubt in my mind that progressives didn't back her up when they needed to.

In her case...I would say that she didn't leave the party, the party left HER.

3. Dude.
She punched a security guard, and has spent time with the 9/11 conspiracy survivalist kooks.

I don't think we need her.

Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 03:23 PM by LostinVA
I agree with HWNN: she was set up for being "uppity" to the Cops.

18. Okay, we'll give her the benefit of the doubt on her violent outburst
Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 03:29 PM by olkaz
But what about going on Alex Jones and blaming the government for 9/11?

Got anything for that?

(You're going to have trouble disproving this one, I listened to the audio.)

Edit: Heck, here's a link, just for fun.

"Congresswoman Says America Run By Criminal Syndicate
McKinney: American citizens could be put in forced labor camps"

http://www.infowars.com/articles/us/mckinney_america_run_by_criminal_syndicate.htm

"McKinney shared Alex Jones' fears and those previously voiced by Republican Congressman Ron Paul, that Americans may be arrested and taken to forced labor camps in light of recent developments confirming Kellogg Brown and Root have secured a government contract to build the camps."

You guys crack me up.

32. I don't agree with that theory, but I don't slam people who believe it
I can understand why people may think that, given t3h Intel we know about now that they knew about then.

And, there is zero proof McKinney had a "violent outburst."

What the hell is going on here?! Has DU always been filled with troofers and I just never realized it?

My god man, fine, respect her opinions, but at least see that she's essentially impossible to elect to anything with crazy ass "forced labor camp" opinions.

62. I liked her too!
Sorry, I use the word "man" kinda like Mitch Hedberg sometimes. I don't really say it with a gender in mind.

Like I said elsewhere, she used to be really great on Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman, but she really deteriorated, and then she was making some really wacky stuff up with Alex Jones.

She's just not good for the party, honestly. I don't dislike her personally.

15. I'd retract that
because it is...a lie.
And yes...we DO need her.
You might research her career a little more before you write her off.
She was a very effective member of Congress.

She left the party. So.. not sure what good she does us.

"You might research her career a little more before you write her off."

Google "Alex Jones Cynthia McKinney".

It's fascinating. And wacky!

31. This is what it means.
Cynthia happens to be right.

The problem is, she happens to tell the truth in public.

If you search for Octafish's posts, you'll find more documentation than you ever wanted to prove it.

It's our dirty little secret. Our government really is run by a small group of cronies, just like Guatemala, just like all governments are from Day 1.

36. Oh christ. You people are here too?
Look, I don't think we're getting the whole story on a lot of things regarding 9/11 and whatnot, but going on Alex Jones and cuddling up to the conspiracy community isn't helping me disbelieve the whole "punching the security guard" incident.

I actually liked her a lot when she would be on Democracy Now every once in a while, but once you start making crazy claims about forced labor camps on Alex Jones, well, thats the end.

Getting attached to the patriot movement is pretty much political death to me.

47. Conspiracy community?

Far as I can tell, you are in the "conspiracy community" for believing she punched anyone with no evidence. And in the face of evidence from a cop witness that she was being targeted for harassment.

I really don't care what you choose to believe or not. I'm more interested in what people know and can prove. :hi:

59. Hold on, rethink this.
In comparing these two things:

1. Cynthia McKinney loses her cool and strikes a security guard.

2. The government was behind 9/11.

You say:

"I'm more interested in what people know and can prove."

Maybe McKinney didn't do it. I wasn't there, and I'm not so closed-minded to not listen to you. But if you're honestly saying that it is more likely that the government engineered 9/11 than she hit a security guard, well...

I don't know. I guess you guys are a perfect fit?

In fact, the progressive community still has a foothold in this country because of people like them and not people like you. But, you already know that. :)

4. I was working the ER daily news thread the day of her election.
The trouble reports came in early and big and no one did anything. That election was dirty as hell.

She was left high and dry, I agree.

Trust me, this isn't an "Obama thing" with me. I've never liked them, for this reason.

"American Blackout" is a really good movie. I bet Netflix has it, for those who are interested.

21. Yeah..their platform is so RADICAL:
Grassroots Democracy

Social justice and equal opportunity

ecological wisdom

non-violence

decentralization

community based economics and economic justice

feminism and gender equality

respect for diversity

personal and global responsibility

future focus and sustainability

Now I would like to suggest that the Ds and Gs work together. Instead of creating a wedge between the two parties by hateful rhetoric, perhaps a constructive dialogue would be more appropriate. It would seem to me that the hateful right is creating and perpetuating this division to support their own evil agenda.

51. In Australia, Greens and Labor often work together
They exchange preferences -and since Greens share the balance of power in the Senate, their views are heard and sometimes reflected in public policy.

Labor -and the country as a whole, is much better because of it.

Contrast that with America, where the Democrats have become decrepit, largely influenced by the far right and unable to either stand up effectively to a petty bully with historically low approval ratings.

63. IRV would make a huge difference -but the party hacks
(who are responsible for the sorry shape the country is in) would have to be drug kicking and screaming.

As should be apparent to everyone- these folks serve the same masters; one party is only incrementally "better" -less worse than the other. In many cases, rational people have no one to vote FOR. Which makes them cynical and disinterested.

Australia also has a form of proportional representation in their Senate that allows smaller parties a seat at the table. A reasonable chance for a slice of real power- something that's anathema to partisans in the states, who are seemingly content to enable and legitimize the very worst of policy choices.

11. The ONLY problem I have with the Greens:
I love their platform so much, I agree with so much, but I really, really wish they would start at the local and state level first.

:sigh:

I think she's a hell of a lot better than Nader. McKinney is a FIGHTER!

Is she planning to run for Congress in the next few years?

accommodate multiple parties, and I'd thrown in public funding and some sort of ranked voting too. Then I'd reinstate an updated form of the Fairness Doctrine, since the media is just about useless as is these days.

As to what Cynthia's plans are, I dunno. I'd love to see her back in D.C. one way or another. :)

24. She was the first Dem to publically accuse the Bush mob of their many...
crimes. It was a really great speech. She literally tore the little Texan an new anal orifice.

She lost her seat due to the GOP and the voting machine catastrophe. Her last act was to present an impeachment bill against the Bush cabal.

61. She came here to New London, CT to campaign for Green municipal candidates
and, of course, shore up support for her presidential run.

72. She is running for the party's nomination
As you know, there are two groups of Greens. The Greens is the one that shuns electoral politics altogether, concentrating on the "movement." The other is the political party that ran Nader in '00, even though Nader was not a party member nor embraced the party's agenda. They also ran David Cobb in '04. McKinney is one of several candidate running for the nomination.

I will remind everyone that Nader/Gonzales is an independent ticket, not associated with the GPUSA.
