SubscribeCynthia McKinney Scores Major Endorsement
Lest we forget, there are other people running for the Presidency besides Messrs. Obama, McCain and Mrs. Rodham-Clinton.
And, indeed, Green Party candidate McKinney has just received her first major endorsement, as is proudly noted on her campaign’s website:

OHLONE (aka, oakland, ca 94610)Welcome To Our President Cynthia McKinney
18 May 6248 KMT/2008
Greetings of IMANI (FAITH) President McKinney:May our Divine Creator and Beloved Ancestors find you and the extended family in the best of spirit and health. Welcome back to the land of the original OHLONE people, to what is currently called the “california bay area.”
It is so disappointing not to be able to greet you personally this weekend—when WE are commemorating the birthdays of freedom fighters EL HAJJ MALIK EL SHABAZZ (Brother Minister Malcolm X), Mother Yuri Kochiyama and HO CHI MINH—due to a previously-scheduled family commitment.
However, it was a pleasure to speak to you briefly after the Green Party presidential candidates’ debate here in January; and, at our march and rally commemorating International Workers’ Day on the First of May.
Like thousands of other activists around the “united capitalist prison states of america (u.c.p.s.a.)” and our world, i want to applaud you for your decades of advocacy and action for truth, justice, reparations, human rights, democracy and peace. As a union organizer in chicago, new york city and the bay area, WE always knew that you, as a member of congress, had our backs on issues from living wages to struggling against the oppressive “welfare reform” and “free trade” agreements.
While a leader in our movements for self-determination and reparations, you consistently worked with us to build a powerful united front of Afrikan people (and supporters) here in the u.c.p.s.a. and around our Diaspora to begin challenging the imperialist governments and corporations which accumulate(d) their unjust riches by super-exploiting the labor and land of enslaved and imprisoned workers.
WE are all so proud that you stood tall and proud, even though mostly alone in the congress, in demanding the release of and amnesty for our hundreds of imprisoned and exiled Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, Republic of New Afrika, Black Liberation Army, American Indian Movement and Puerto Rican independence political leaders, and called for hearings on the repressive “counter intelligence (sic) programs” past and present.
Having lost 155 members of the community/labor alliance that i led in new york, and another 12 members of our N’COBRA, it was you who rightfully and righteously called for a full examination of the role of the fascist regime of Cheney/Bush in the events leading up to, during and following 11 September 6241/2001. And, justice-loving people around the world were extremely encouraged that you introduced impeachment proceedings to expose the continuing crimes against humanity perpetrated by Cheney/Bush and corrupt republican and democratic party officials.
All that said, you have always inspired us. That is why WE have traveled down to georgia to work for your re-elections in past years; and are supporting your current candidacy. Your platform offers all of our movements—for reparations, freedom for political prisoners, workers’ rights, peace, true democracy, justice for the victims of the Cheney/Bush “hurricanes” and floods, immigrant rights, etc.—real hope and an alternative to the corporate republican and democratic parties.
And, as i have been expressing to my family, friends, co-workers, extended networks and in my articles, WE do indeed have an opportunity to work for the election of both a person of integrity who is also of Afrikan ancestry and a woman. No, not Senator Barack Obama, a former community organizing colleague and friend; or another former chicagoan, Senator Hillary Clinton.
They are both slugging it out to show who can best represent the interests of the minority corporate invaders, occupiers, torturers and war profiteers. Their calls for “change” offer no concrete solutions for the majority of the people suffering in our communities and around the planet.
The campaign of Sister President Cynthia McKinney, however, is a major step towards independent spiritual, political and economic visioning, unity and action. Until WE meet again, i wish you and all those assembled today…
Justice, Peace, Love, Prosperity and Continued Blessings!

There is a candidate who attracts even bigger crackpots than Mr. Obama? Who knew?
Though, come to think of it, Ms. McKinney does have it all. She is black, a woman and a certifiable leftwing lunatic.
And as such she should make the perfect compromise candidate for the Democrats.

“united capitalist prison states of america (u.c.p.s.a.)”
Not hardly…unlike a prison, these offscourings are welcome to leave anytime the rest of us are damn good and ready for them to.
Always amazes me how these people are so “African,” yet they insist on staying here…makes a body wonder sometimes…
Well, not really. These leeches wouldn’t be able to suck the lifeblood out of most African countries, because there’s nothing there to suck. They may be hypocritical and hate-filled, but they know a gravy train when they see one.

Face it folks, Some people are just plain old crazy. We used to lock them up for the protection of the individual safety but for society’s as well.
Used to be ,One way or another, if the crazy person did something crazy, society made sure he /she harmed no one else.
Nowadays, they have more rights than a sane person.

Ya know - I couldn’t have made up a funnier endorsement. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. I am not even sure where they come up with this garbage….
1sttofight - It is good to have you back - I don’t post often but do read several times a day and you were missed on this forum. You have surrounded yourself here with many people who hold you in there hearts and you got them a little worried. You need to talk to artboy about making a great story out of this Mckinney thing..I mean , really - its almost done already.

Woah, this bitch is even nuttier than I thought, and thats saying something.
Give her a state and bury her in it!

Hoooo-weee! Just when I think I’ve heard it all…..
It’s like my Grammy used to say, “Thats just crazy-talk!”

Sharps and all,
pretty sure I forgot most of my history lessons, but I know I remember something about Liberia…did not the U.S. Government buy this little swath of paradise following the Civil War, and offer freed slaves the option of 40 acres and a mule, or a free ride to this newly formed Country called Liberia? Capital City, Monro(e)via?

“And, as i have been expressing to my family, friends, co-workers, extended networks and in my articles, WE do indeed have an opportunity to work for the election of both a person of integrity who is also of Afrikan ancestry and a woman” Sure, go ahead, run for president or whatever it is you want to run for, but I still think America is >70% of European Descent (my new “White Liberation Front Designation, albeit not as cool as Afrikan, but it sure beats just plain ol’ white) and probably wouldn’t vote for this garbage spewing hypocrite. I woulld like to reiterate, as the self-chosen Prez of the WLF, how much money could be drummed up in order to help ding bat Mckinney and her minions get closer to their Afrikan home towns (maybe as far as Anthrax Island, but hey, we’ll give them plenty of cardboars protest signs and materials to make cool new flags). Leave already, you make me want to throw up. (by the way, the WLF is purely a joke, what I would really like to see is a “Stupid People-Free Zone” established, anyone interested?)

Quote: “Though, come to think of it, Ms. McKinney does have it all. She is black, a woman and a certifiable leftwing lunatic.”
Actually there is another idiot in congress who runs a VERY close second to Crazy Cynthia. It’s Barbara Lee of Kalifornia’s 9th District. And like Cynthia, she’s an import. She’s originally from Texas. My point being that here on the Left Coast we’re all thought of as tofu eating, tree hugging, Starbucks addicted idiots. Believe me, it’s not true. It does seem the farther north in the state one goes the more nitwits you run into.
Ms Mckinney and Barbara Lee are sick twisted cliches and DO NOT represent any values of mine or most of the people I know. That includes Dems and Repubs. They are the legacy of the hippy generation that settled in and perverted most of Northern Kalifornia. They’re a sad sick joke on decent people of all persuasions.

Every time McKinney makes the news, I reflect with great thanksgiving that she’s no longer in Georgia, screwing things up in our name. Cynthia McKinney was our greatest embarrassment since Jimmy Carter.
–It’s Barbara Lee of Kalifornia’s 9th District. And like Cynthia, she’s an import. She’s originally from Texas. –
Not an import, Greasywrench–a cull. People that aren’t smart enough or sane enough for America get sent off to California. Our apologies to those of you who have to put up with it out there, but we’re not taking them back.

You’re right Redneck. We get all of the dregs of the U.S. society here in the “land of fruits and nuts”. I apologize if it sounded as if I were impugning the great States of Texas or Georgia.
The point I wanted to make is we’re sick of these idiots running to Kalifornia and pushing their far-left agendas. We don’t want them either. In case you didn’t notice they all seem to end up in the Berkeley or San Francisco areas, and of course, Hollyweird down here in Southern Kalifornia. It’s one of the few places on the Left Coast, along with some parts of Oregon where they can find a base of support. We are really quite normal here. A few rotten apples are spoiling our great big barrel.
