Cynthia McKinney was just another black, female, Democrat from Georgia (maybe looking for a handout) in the eyes of others before the 9/11 hoax captured her attention and she joined the 9/11 Truth Movement. Suddenly, she became a noise to be reckoned with — loud enough to soon provoke the removal of the six-term Congresswoman. When she was defeated in 2002, the powers behind-the-scenes had seen to it that she lose in her own primary to an unknown. Many believed that the defeat was spawned by the same party crossover voting just witnessed in the highly suspect of the conservative Tea Party candidate against Sen. Thad Cochran in Mississippi.
USA Today reported that: McKinney’s loss was a rejection by voters in both parties of her controversial profile, which included support for Arab causes and a suggestion that Bush knew in advance of the Sept. 11 attacks. An inflammatory remark by her father on an Atlanta TV broadcast Monday may have been the final blow. State Rep. Billy McKinney said his daughter’s tough fight was because “Jews have bought everybody. Jews. J-e-w-s.””
The video report here explains what her daddy might have meant.
In any case, the fact that her former Congressional seat is now occupied by Hank Johnson, the simpleton who was actually reelected after making a national display of his stupidity in 2010, reflects the I. Q. of the voters in southeast Atlanta. Johnson had responded in dead seriousness to a Navy Admiral in a televised Congressional hearing (concerning the military plan to add 8,000 more personnel to the Island of Guam) with “Yeah, my fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.” It was not a joke, and Admiral Robert Willard, with apparent respect for the Congressional surroundings only, somehow visibly restrained and (mostly) prevented himself from laughing out loud at this obvious nitwit.

All of it — Cynthia’s courage to pursue the facts, even in the unfriendly spotlight of anti-Semitic accusations, and Hank’s questionable continued presence — continues to make us ask: “Is Truth Racist?”
