"Black clergy, lawmakers offer support"

Black clergy and lawmakers came the defense of the firebrand congresswoman on Monday. McKinney smiled as her supporters heaped praise on her leadership and her new look — her trademark cornrows replaced earlier this year by a curly brown afro...(aka Buckwheat)

Her supporters tried to minimize the incident — which they called political, not criminal — but they also suggested it was an example of racial profiling....(HUH They called publicity surrounding the episode a distraction that is being used by “her enemies” to keep the congresswoman from performing her elected duties....(embarrass her state)

Questions Raised Over McKinney Fundraiser

POSTED: 3:17 pm EDT April 4, 2006
UPDATED: 5:46 am EDT April 5, 2006

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Cynthia McKinney may have violated congressional fundraising rules.

Channel 2 Action News has learned that McKinney paid for singer Isaac Hayes to fly to Atlanta last March 25 to host a fundraising event at the Stone Mountain home of State Senator Gloria Butler.

McKinney's office used taxpayer money for Hayes $500 airline ticket and his $400 hotel bill.

Congressional rules strictly forbid using taxpayer money for campaign events.

"It's actually breaking the law," says Melanie Sloan of The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

"It's breaking house rules which prevent a member from using travel funds for anything but their own travel. And it breaks federal Election Commission law, which requires that only campaign funds be used for campaign expenses," added Sloan.

McKinney has admitted billing the taxpayers for Hayes' expenses, calling it an administrative error.

Information posted by the House Ethics Committee shows McKinney could potentially face a fine or removal from office, if a government investigation is conducted.

<span class="article_title">Cynthia McKinney's New Book: "Avoiding Justice While Black"</span>

By John W Lillpop

Apr 5, 2006







Cynthia McKinney, the congresswoman who claimed she was the victim of racial profiling by Washington, DC, Capitol police after hitting a cop herself, should give up politics. Instead, she should write a book to share her unique perspective as a black female victim with the world.</P>


Her first work could be entitled "Avoiding Justice While Black." Alternatively, she could name it "Overcoming Adversity While Black: Finding the Victim Within You." </P>


OJ Simpson, Kobe Bryant and Barry Bonds could write introductions. McKinney could dedicate the book to the late Johnny Cochran, icon of the "Racism For $$$$$" cult.</P>


Proposed titles for the book chapters:</P>


* Black? You IS Automatically a Victim, Baby!</P>


* Slugging a White Cop: More Fun Than Sex?</P>


* Staying Out of Jail While Black: Become a Victim!</P>


* Guilt-Free Sandbagging of Cracker Cops</P>


* Crackers and Cash Cows: Making the R Word Work for YOU!</P>


* Black Preachers, NAACP: Black Mafia On YOUR Side!</P>


* Too Short for the NBA? Make a Fortune with a Jesse Jackson "Rainbow Shakedown" Franchise! </P>


* If You MUST Confess: Use Ebonics for Plausible Deniablity!</P>


* Reparations: Your Share of American Dream---PAST DUE!</P>


* Truth, Personal Responsibility: Why Bother?</P>


Thanks, Cynthia. This will be a perfect training guide for youth everywhere.</P>

Democrats Abandon Cynthia McKinney


House Republicans, reacting to the confrontation last week between Rep. Cynthia McKinney and a Capitol Police officer she is accused of hitting, pressed for a resolution Tuesday to commend the police force for its professionalism.

Democratic leaders did not defend McKinney or her charge of racial profiling.

"I don't think any of it justifies hitting a police officer," said House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California. "If it did happen I don't think it was justified."

Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 Democrat in the House, said all lawmakers, staffers and visitors in the building have a responsibility to obey Capitol Police. "I think we all should cooperate fully," he said.

Rep. Mel Watt, D-N.C., chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, had no comment, a spokesman said.

As a federal prosecutor considered whether to press assault or other charges against McKinney, Republicans were introducing their resolution.

"I don't think it's fair to attack the Capitol Police and I think it's time that we show our support for them," said Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., a sponsor of the measure. Ignoring a police officer's order to stop, or hitting one, "is never OK," McHenry said.

McKinney is alleged to have hit a uniformed police officer who did not recognize her and asked her to stop on her way into a House office building.

McKinney says she took action in self defense after the officer inappropriately touched her. A spokesman for the congresswoman did not respond Tuesday to a request for comment.

The six-term Georgia Democrat says the issue is not about whether to obey a police officer's order, whether she hit him or the fact that she was not wearing the lapel pin that identifies members of Congress.

She and her lawyers have said that a series of confrontations between McKinney and U.S. Capitol and White House law enforcement officers who don't recognize her points to a pattern.

"The issue is racial profiling," McKinney, who is black, told CNN Monday.

The resolution being introduced Tuesday came as McKinney awaited U.S. Attorney Kenneth L. Wainstein's decision on whether to press any criminal charges against her.

The measure expected to be introduced late Tuesday, co-sponsored by Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., would not specifically mention McKinney or the confrontation, McHenry said.

Instead, sponsors said, it would commend the Capitol Police for their professionalism and recognize the challenge of protecting the vast Capitol campus from terrorism and other threats while keeping it open to tourists.

"Every day they exhibit honor, courtesy and professionalism," Diaz-Balart said in a statement.

McKinney says that has not been her experience. She says Capitol Police officers have a long history of failing to recognize her and asking for identification - a pattern she says is racist and in any case highlights a security problem in one of the most well-guarded buildings in the country.

Republicans suggest the incident says something negative about the Democrats. A spokesman for House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said that a Democratic lawmaker hitting an officer does not support the minority party's claim of a commitment to security.

Pelosi last week called that argument "pathetic." She added that she would not make a big deal of what she termed "a mistake" by an officer.

The lack of Democratic support for McKinney is notable. She and her lawyer, James Myart Jr., said on Friday they expected several members of Congress to join her at a news conference that day at Howard University.

None did. D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton issued a statement of concern about the incident and urged the parties to come to an agreement.

McHenry, who at 30 is the youngest member of Congress, said he is routinely stopped by Capitol Police and asked for identification.

"When I'm not wearing my pin, I am always stopped," McHenry said in a telephone interview. "I accept that as a due course of security."
