Retorts like that completely screw things up for people who truly ARE discriminated against because of their color ...
Why can't she just say I did something stupid, mea culpa? Silly cow.

Hopefully, the voters in that state will see sense at the next election. They don't need someone that is so full of themselves to be their representative.

Re: Congressman Cynthia McKinney
Now she thinks the Capitol Police should be able to recognise all members of Congress - 535 people.

She should probably shut up and apologise.

She clearly knows nothing about security.
Or at least that's how I'm seeing it.

No wonder they're so arrogant. They're treated like royalty not public servants.

Just for the sake of argument, I know this story has been well publicised, but can you imagine the furore of a white congressman struck a black police officer.
One politician came out and flat out called her a racist - very brave in my opinion.
