Michelle Malkin, “The Party of Police Haters,” 4/5/06:
While [Rep. Cynthia] McKinney and her ilk sling wild charges of racism and conspiracy at the police, national Dems have yet to utter one clear word in defense of the men and women who protect their privileged backsides day in and day out in Washington.
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD), 4/4/06:
[E]very one of us who visits the Capitol or any of the office buildings…have a responsibility to fully cooperate with every member of the Capitol Police…They are doing their jobs. We need to help them.
Accuracy: the hallmark of the right-wing punditocracy.
UPDATE: Michelle Malkin thanks her “liberal readers” and posts Hoyer’s statement.
Hah! Great find, Judd!
April 5th, 2006 at 10:17 amMan…This is just the thread that some of our trolls have been begging for.
Let’s let ‘em have it. Maybe then, they’ll stick with their own trollkind over at redstain.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:20 amthe truth doesn’t matter, Judd.
The Washington Times will make up something the Democrats didn’t say, Brit Hume will discuss it as “fact” with Kristol, ane the right will keep right on living in a fantasy land.
It’s like a Bantustan for useful idiots.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:27 am.
Her readers are far too bone idle to check if what’s she is crapping out her mouth is accurate or not.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:30 amGreat work. Exposing these ignorant right-wing pundits never gets old.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:34 amIf one isolated incident is going to tar an entire politcal party Ms. Malagong
then I guess Republicans are the PARTY OF PEDOPHILES
buhhhhhh-bye…..
April 5th, 2006 at 10:35 amSeems to me that I have heard Ms. Malkin slinging charges of racism herself. But, as with most rightwing nuts, it is only tragic if it happens to them.
Read this gem for Delay:
REP. DELAY: ‘Cynthia McKinney is a racist. She has a long history of racism. Everything is racism with her. This is incredible arrogance, and — that sometimes hits these members of congress, but especially Cynthia McKinney’
See, when the Democrats talked of sketchy ties between Judge Alito and racism it was an outrage. Of course with the likes of Niel Boortz calling Ms. McKinney a “crack-whore” she is just being oversensitive.
The nation is circling the bowl my friends.
Heckuva job.

April 5th, 2006 at 10:40 amIt appears that Malkin has pulled that blog entry from her site - the link above gives an error, and examining her blog I can’t find the cited quote.
Expect to soon see a post at her blog where she claims that she never said it, and you’re making it up.
Can’t erase history, Michelle.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:40 amNevermind - just realized that she said it in her TownHall column, and not her blog …
April 5th, 2006 at 10:43 amCynthia McKinney is being targeted for other reasons; set up if you will.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:45 amMaybe it has something to do with her views on 9/11?
Michelle will fight to the bitter end to defend the infamous, ill-advised cabal that has brought America to Her knees spiritually and financially.
Knowing her origins (a country America has occupied and left in abject poverty for 100 years) I understand her abject fear of the ruthless authority of the U.S., and her utterly ruthless devotion to it.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:50 amLooking through the comment section reveals one of Michelle’s fan’s thoughts (or lack of):
**************************************************************************
The black who cried ‘wolf’ - by mattman, Apr 5 2006 07:58 AM
Yeah, typical of most black people. Just scream ‘racism’ and you can leech off anyone or anything you want, especially those ‘racist white cracka’asses’” that you claim to hate so much yet whine and bitch to us when you need something. Gee and you wonder why people don’t like you black America?
I blame whites as well for putting up with this crap. Haven’t we (whites) learned that you just can’t win with blacks and hispanics? No matter how much you give into blacks or traitors-I mean Hispanics-they just don’t shut up? Know what’m saying, iiight? Word up, yo. Lincoln was right-we should’ve shipped them back to Africa years ago
Black and Hispanics-just thank your lucky stars I don’t run things!
**************************************************************************
I wonder if Michelle would be happy to be shipped back to her native land?
April 5th, 2006 at 10:51 amJudd - Hoyer, as well as all Democrats, have yet to come out and say McKinney was wrong. I would take it a step further and ask her to resign.
Be careful - this issue will bite. Conservatives are not gonna let a gimme like this go away easy. We will BLUNDGEON Democrats as the party of cop haters and anti-security if you don’t deal with the infectious mouth disease that ails McKinney.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:52 amYeah, well, Malkin is guilty of “ilk-ism” — a sort of non-racially-based, ideological bigotry.
“Ilk-ism” is even more insidious than “racism,” because it doesn’t even matter what sort of “ilk” you belong to. All “ilks” are bad.
For wingnut writers, the mere suggestion that you are part of an “ilk” is damning, even when they don’t specify the exact nature of the “ilk,” or the requirements for membership.
We should ask Michelle if “self-loathing Filippinos” is an “ilk,” a “race” or a “mental disorder.”
April 5th, 2006 at 10:53 amJust one?
April 5th, 2006 at 10:54 amUnbelievably, Malkin manages to grow more insufferable by the day. You’d think some sort of saturation point would occur, but, here we are, with no end in sight.
She is so quick to play the “National dems are silent” card, you have to wonder if it’s just sloppy writing without checking the facts, or if she’s gotten to the point where she simply plugs the details into her standard “outrage du jour” template.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:55 amYou folks just haven’t broken the wingnut code. When Malkin says,
“utter one clear word in defense of the men and women who protect their privileged backsides”
She really means this:
Condemn a fellow Democrat who seems to have been treated very oddly by those whose job it is to protect her backside.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:58 amCod - punk.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:58 amMichelle and her ilk should know better than to bring up Cynthia McKinney, because we can then talk about The Case of the Perverted Primary.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:59 amTom “I am the law” DeLay says that someone *else* is guilty of “incredible arrogance”?
April 5th, 2006 at 10:59 amI’m from the Philippines and we already have many problems (a presidency under fire, a weak econmy, insurgency) to deal with; we don’t need her exacerbating the situation.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:00 amI don’t like the Title of this Thread because it implies that on occasion Malkin is, in fact, “hinged”.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:02 amWow, you really had to dig to find this little quote. Where’s Reid, Kennedy, Biden, Feingold, Pelosi, Clinton? All of these traditional democrat race-baitors don’t know what position to take. That’s why national democrats are silent.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:02 amHas Hoyer condemned McKinney yet? Has any other national Democrat condemned her yet? If so, I haven’t heard about it. Sideways comments about the police force don’t really count.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:04 amCulture of Disruption - Just want to make sure I understand. National Democrats have to come out and state that McKinney was wrong before all the facts are known or she has had a trial, but National Republicans are allowed to praise Tom Delay and are under no obligation to come out and state he was wrong (since he is under indictment)?
April 5th, 2006 at 11:04 amIf one isolated incident is going to tar an entire politcal party Ms. Malagong
then I guess Republicans are the PARTY OF PEDOPHILES
Just one?
Holy crap……I knew Rethugs were vile and corruptable but that list takes the cake…..
April 5th, 2006 at 11:05 amSorry for my rudeness. I had to get it off my chest.
To those of you who’ve tried to beat the drum here on getting a congresswoman to resign:
A person grabbed her shoulder from behind her. That person turned out to be a Capitol Hill cop. She turned and slugged in one move. It’s what is taught in self defense classes. Both of ‘em are wrong. they should both apologize.
What is worse though? You say reflexive aggression should require resignation. What about premeditated agression? What about lying, wholeheartedly, knowingly, repeatedly in order to attack another and say it’s OK? What if your lying causes the death of over 2300 American GI’s, runs up a National Debt or several TRILLION dollars, kills tens if not hundreds of thousands of foriegners in their own lands? Certainly, that is much more atrocious than slugging a cop. Shouldn’t the entire bush43 administration be held to such a standard? Why aren’t you calling for their resignations?
Oh, yea, I forgot….You aren’t interested in what is good or right. You are only interested in slamming Democrats. Tool.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:06 am“reflexive aggression”!!! No, it’s called assaulting a police officer. That’s a crime that even applies to democrats.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:11 amAccuracy: the hallmark of the right-wing punditocracy.
Judd
Doll face was entirely accurate. There has been no mention by the Donks of Cindy “Buckwheat” McKinney’s racist demagoguery or criminal attack on the officers she is obliged to obey.
It’s going to be interesting to see what punishment this racist ho is awarded. I think a little community service would be in order. I’d give her a bucket and a mop and have her clean the floors in the capital buildings.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:13 amMattR not one troll has yet to answer you. Just like republicans, avoid “unpleasantness” at all costs - what is good for them is not good fr democrats!
April 5th, 2006 at 11:18 amThis whole incident is being blown out of proportion by the right wing hacks to try and distract from their failed policies and the entrenched Republican corruption that is chipping away at their public facade.
I guess that since Republicans have become fiscally irresponsible as to usher in a new age of massive debt and run-away spending, the Republicans must hate America.
The fiscally irresponsible Republicans hate America!
I guess that since Republicans have failed to adequately protect our nations borders to the point where investigators can bring in enough radioactive material to make two dirty bombs, the Republicans must hate America!
Since the trolls are trying to change the subject in all the other forums, I’ll do the same in this one!
April 5th, 2006 at 11:19 amNow you know why fake blogs — like Maglalang’s, or Powerlie… er, PowerLine — don’t have comments!
April 5th, 2006 at 11:19 amMattR not one troll has yet to answer you. Just like republicans, avoid “unpleasantness” at all costs - what is good for them is not good for democrats!
April 5th, 2006 at 11:19 am#28 - Ok, Creep, it’s a crime. Happy, now? Are you equating McKinney’s actions with the crimes of this administration? Did McKinney’s slug to the chest of that cop cause the deaths of over 2300 of our military members and untold numbers of Iraqis? Shame on you, troll. Go f*ck yourself — you and CoD.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:21 amIf this is the only issue they have come November - which it is - we will indeed blow them out of the water…er Congress!
April 5th, 2006 at 11:21 amEhhh… A case can be made that, at the time Malkin wrote her column, there had been no statements from prominent Democrats in support of the Capitol police. Then, in the interval between when she sent in her column, and when it was actually pulished, then we have the comments from Hoyer.
Malkin’s piece was no no earlier than 4:27am this morning, judging from the timestamp of the first comment logged to it.
The CNN story was up at 9:53pm yesterday.
Of course, we’d have to know when she sent in her column to TownHall. If it was at (for example) 7pm yesterday, how can you blame her for missing the comment?
On the other hand, if Hoyer made his comment even earlier in the day, and it was covered elsewhere, you’ve got more grounds to thwak Malkin on this.
Later,
April 5th, 2006 at 11:22 amThe “comment” at 11:13 am pretty much sums up the allure of the Republican party to the angry white man. It is the party of dinosaurs who are stuck in the tarpit and must lash out blindly at their perceived slights. I think we have seen in the last few months the beginning of the end of the party as it collapses under the weight of its own greed and avarice. Fortunately for us because of demographics, the angry white man will soon go the way of the dodo.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:25 amCynthia McKinney annoys me because she does pull the racism crd any time anything untoward happens to her.
By all accounts but hers, she was asked to stop multiple times and she struck the officer when he attempted to restrain her. You and I can’t get away with that at a ball game, the airport, or anywhere else for that matter; to hear McKinney bleat on and on that somehow the officer’s erring on the side of caution is “racist” dilutes the real racism that regular people face every day.
McKinney should get off her high horse, apologize to the officer and seek to work with the Capitol police to make this go away before it ends up as a golden opportunity for the Republicans to crank up their noise machine and make the corruption, lies, and death that have surrounded them over the past several weeks float away on a raft of indignation.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:27 amHey I-right-I any blast fax data from the RNC on how to handle the current uptick in pedophilia infesting the republic party? Wow didn’t think so but bludgeon away vis-a-vis McKinney….and hey we will just save that mop and bucket for you (your gonna need it in about 6 months) unless the job gets outsourced!
April 5th, 2006 at 11:28 am#29 - Then what “punishment” would you suggest for VPres. Cheney for not speaking with the local police when they requested it after he shot a man in the face?
How about a bucket and a mop and have him clean Washington, DC.
Don’t forget, it seems the Phants don’t care to obey the same police officers that you claim everyone is obligated to obey.
Double standards are par for the course for the Phants. Don’t you agree, “Right between the I’s”?
April 5th, 2006 at 11:29 am#14- I’ll go with “mental disorder”, common to those of her “ilk”. Great comment, VERY funny! Thanks!
April 5th, 2006 at 11:29 amMs. Malkin/Malagong needs to be sent to a detention camp to live in an unheated dirt-floor shack, eat spoiled beans and be re-educated.
For several years or so.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:30 am“It’s going to be interesting to see what punishment this racist ho is awarded.”
And people like you wonder where “civility” has gone in this country. Honestly, do you really think that this kind of disrespectful, nasty, mindless insulting does ANYONE any good? Ho, yourself!
April 5th, 2006 at 11:30 amSupporting police officers is about more than saying nice things about them in front of the television cameras. It’s about not cutting vital programs while giving rich Americans tax cuts.
Talk is cheap. Programs that save lives aren’t.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:34 amIf a police security guard at the Capital building grabbed a Republican member of Congress, and treated them the way they did McKinney, then the GOP would have the officer fired and then prosecuted for assault! Republicans only like the police when they abuse poor or black Americans! Shame on the entire GOP!
April 5th, 2006 at 11:34 amI mean this is ridiculous…the media is eating this up the Republican hate mongers are at a feeding frenzy… Now Dems hate police officers?! Add that to the list of us hating freedom, Christians, Christmas, and the U.S.A. But they forget to add us hating unethical congressmen, corruption, bigotry, and plain old idiocy. I think Repugnicants are just blinded by hate. I hate you and everything thing you stand for and with no reasonable argument I blame you for everything we feel, our insecurities and fears…i think that’s right-wing ideology.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:38 amDoll face was entirely accurate. There has been no mention by the Donks of Cindy “Buckwheat†McKinney’s racist demagoguery or criminal attack on the officers she is obliged to obey.

Cindy “Buckwheat” McKinny doesn’t deserve respect from me or anyone else.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:44 amExcoriating Malkin is a complete waste of time. The woman is an idiot. But McKinney was out of line here. You just cannot hit a cop and expect to not be in trouble. It was a stupid thing to pull and she hasn’t helped herself or the Democrats since the incident.

Where do you find racist in my comment? Is the “Buckwheat” reference or the mop reference? Both? Check out that new “do” she’s sporting and tell me she doesn’t look like Buckwheat! HA!
April 5th, 2006 at 11:48 amIf the Right is so outraged about Cynthia “assaulting” a police officr, surely they would agree that a drunk VP shooting a man in the face ought to be prosecuted for attempted manslaughter. No? More moral relativism from the Party of Hypocrites.

April 5th, 2006 at 11:50 amYes, McKinney was wrong, he’s an idiot. Even if the guy grabbed her, she knew who it was. However, if you trolls think ANYONE outside of your sorry ass party is going to think this means anything compared with all of the criminals in the republican party - well as you idiot of a president would say “bring it on!!!

Comment by Jay Randal
We like the police all the time. But we especially like the police when they shoot bad guys. Who’s fault is it that most of the violent bad guys who need to be shot happen to be black?
April 5th, 2006 at 11:53 amGod, all this ruckus, you’d think McKinny shot someone in the face and tried to cover it up or something.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:59 amMckinney is a boob. Plain and simple and I have said that before all this happened. Problem is that has nothing at all to do with being a Democrat.
April 5th, 2006 at 12:02 pmTwo things here are quite mysterious: 1.How is it that someone, anyone smacks a cop and walks away? Seems to me that is cause for immediate arrest. 2. Since Tommy boy DeLay was claiming, several times, yesterday that he is the most scrupulous man in congress doesn’t that make Mckinneys actions damn near saintly?
Silly - if you had only one topic in your favor wouldn’t you try to exploit it? They’ve got nothing to crow about…..NOTHING!!
April 5th, 2006 at 12:02 pmGood post thanks..

Comment by Silly Little American Boy
She’s a race whore. It’s her one and only issue. Now she finds herself in the position of being in the middle of the action and she pulls her only defense. “I’m in trouble because I’m black. It’s all the white man’s fault.” Instead of taking her embarrassing moment behind closed doors and settling the thing like a rational adult she’s called news conferences to get out her message that “The White Man is Keeping Her Down.”
She started this ruckus and makes it worse with each passing day. She’s making a fool out of herself, she’s making a fool out of her party and no self respecting Republican political strategist is going to let this one die out until ever last little quotable quote can be squeezed out of her. Not only that but her new “Buckwheat” hair style has us all rolling in the aisles. The fact is, she deserves every bit of this ridicule.

You cannot bludgeon someone with a toothpick.
Here are the types of things you can bludgeon with…
* Osama says Hi! from his vacation hideaway
* Taliban kill a few more Americans since they STILL have not been defeated
* Iraqis that have been murdered for their non-relation to 911 are still DEAD
* American soldiers wrongly sent into Iraq to find the nonExistant WMDs are still DEAD
* Pakistans head scientist and WMD blackmarket ringleader is still only in house arrest
* Saudi Arabia (the 911 enemy) still is holding hands with the Bush cabal
* New Orleans doesnt have the money to rebuild but Haliburton gets another multi BILLION dollar contract for Iraq
* The amount the U.S. owes foreign powers in the form of DEBT still has this many zeroooos 9,000,000,000,000
* North Korea … well what ever happened to them? They still building nukes?
* Probably can soon add Iran to the mix …

I don’t care what you think, personally. I was raised with the idea that you don’t say such things publically, even if you do think they are true. I question whether you had any guidance at all growing up. Certainly you don’t display any tact or good manners here. Does that mean I can say horrible things about your mother?
Well, I might think those things, but I was raised by good parents and know not to utter such things publically.
April 5th, 2006 at 12:14 pm#67 - Nope, they just get caught with their hands in the “cookie jar” or up someone elses dress or down their pants, then cry like wussies about how they are “so sorry for their lack of ethics and morals.”
You know, like the Dukester, Abramoff, DeLay, Nixon, Scarborough, Limbaugh, Lott, Frist, Cheney. . . . . . . .
Neo-Conservatives don’t “respect” the police, they’re afraid of being treated like criminals when they’re caught being criminals.

Funny, I don’t see many black people on this list.
P. S. I like how you TRIED to qualify your statement with the word violent. Keneth Lay and his “ilk” steal millions, but they do it without injuring anyone. I guess for you, that makes it better.
April 5th, 2006 at 12:16 pmIf in fact things happened as have been said and if in fact the GOoPers can find any other six-term members of Congress who are stopped by the cops, and if the Capitol Hill cops have indeed cleaned up their act since the African-American members of the Capitol Hill police were forced to sue to alleviate the racist working conditions on the Hill.
A lot of ifs, and it’s hard for this Democrat to see why other members of Congress aren’t backing McKinney at this point.
A PR spokesperson for Homeland Security was just charged with soliciting 14-year-olds and we’re supposed to have our undies in a bunch because McKinney had a go-around with a cop?
April 5th, 2006 at 12:17 pmafter a six hour meeting, “The House ethics committee, inactive for more than a year because of partisan disputes, has declined to launch investigations of Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, and other lawmakers accused of ethical lapses…”
how ironic: “Soon-to-retire Rep. Tom DeLay (R.-Tex.) said today he would file an ethics complaint against Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D.-Ga.) for striking a Capitol Police officer should no other House member do so first…”
“muchos huevos grandes”… he thinks…

Wow, after reading some of the comments here I’m really confused about why Republicans have trouble getting Blacks to vote for them.
Maybe they can use some of I-right-I’s incredibly thoughtful descriptions in their campaign literature? Or better yet, maybe I-right-I could come down to some majority Black neighborhoods and share his feelings in a door-to-door camapign to register Blacks for the Republican Party?
April 5th, 2006 at 12:20 pm#72 - Of COURSE “Right between the I’s” considers it better for “white color criminals” to break the law. It’s all they’ve been taugh how to do.
It’s the unspoken “entitlements” for neo-Cons to steal millions and millions from the government and businesses.
It’s not like they have ethics or morals or anything like that to stop them from being ratbastardfascistRepublifucktards. It’s just their nature.
PS - Like how I use “Right between the I’s” terminology to describe his political ilk? ;-)
April 5th, 2006 at 12:21 pm#73 - Of COURSE we’re supposed to be oh-so bothered by Rep. McKinney “physically attacking a police officer”!!!!!!
How else are the Republican neo-con’s going to distract the American public from the entrenched corruption and fiscal irresponsibility of their party, or from the pedophilic leanings of their members?
Heaven forbid anyone talk about any other subject than the one they consider “news”!!!
(Sarcasm off)

April 5th, 2006 at 12:39 pmIRI is confused about the Word Christo or “Messiah” Sad isnt he?
Main article: Jewish Messiah
The concept of the messiah is neither common nor unified in the Hebrew Bible. In the Hebrew Bible, Israelite priests, prophets, and kings were anointed with oil in consecration to their respective offices.
The Hebrew Bible contains a number (the number is debated) of prophecies concerning a future descendant of King David who will be anointed as the Jewish people’s new leader (moshiach).
The prophecies regarding this person refer to him as a descendant of King David who will rebuild the nation of Israel, bring world peace by restoring the Davidic Kingdom, destroy the wicked, and ultimately judge the whole world.
The mainstream Jewish understanding of mashiach (the messiah) has little, if anything, in common with the Christian understanding of Jesus as Christ (messiah). This subject is covered in more detail in the entry on Jewish eschatology.
[edit]
Traditional and contemporary Judaism
The concept of the messiah varies in traditional and contemporary Judaism. The view of the messiah in talmudic literature is that there are two messiahs, Mashiach ben Yossef (Messiah son of Joseph) and Mashiach ben David (Messiah son of David). [1] The Hebrew ben can mean either son or descendant. In this sense it can also mean “in the manner of”, i.e., there will be a “suffering servant” messiah in the manner of Joseph son of Israel/Jacob and a different messiah in the manner of King David.
A common rabbinic interpretation is that there is a potential messiah in every generation. The Talmud tells of a highly respected rabbi who found the Messiah at the gates of Rome and asked him “When will you finally come?” He was quite surprised when he was told, “Today.” Overjoyed and full of anticipation, the man waited all day. The next day he returned, disappointed and puzzled, and asked, “You said messiah would come ‘today’ but he didn’t come! What happened?” The Messiah replied, ‘Scripture says, “Today, if you will but hearken to His voice . . .” (Psalm 95:7)
Orthodox Judaism and Conservative Judaism believe in a future physical messiah who will bring peace to the world. Reform Judaism teaches there will be a time of peace, etc., but that it will be the result of tikkun olam (”repair of the world”) through human efforts toward social justice, not the actions of one man.
[edit]
Christian view
Main article: Christian views of Jesus
Christianity emerged in the first century C.E. as a movement among Jews (and their Gentile associates and converts) who believed Jesus of Nazareth to be the Messiah; the very name of ‘Christian’ refers to the Greek word for ‘Messiah’ (Khristos). Although Christians commonly refer to Jesus as the “Christ” instead of “Messiah”, in Christian theology the two words are synonymous. Because of the belief that Jesus identifed himself with God (John 10:30-33; 10:37-38; 14:7-11; 17:5; 17:11), the Christian concept of the Christ/Messiah is substantially different and much broader than the Jewish and Moslem concepts.
In Christian theology, the Christ/Messiah serves four main functions (Ankerberg & Weldon, pp. 218-223):
* He suffers and dies to make atonement before God for the sins of all humanity, because God’s sense of justice requires that sins be punished. See, e.g., Isaiah 52:13-53:12 and Psalm 22, which Christianity interprets as referring to Jesus.
* He serves as a living example of how God expects people to act.
* He will establish peace and rule the world for a long time. See Nicene Creeds of 325 and 381 C.E.; Revelation 20:4-6: (NIV) “… They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 6 … they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.” (see Millennialism).
* He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and he came to earth as a human. John 1:1-2,14a: 1. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. 2. He was with God in the beginning. 14a The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
In the New Testament, Jesus often referred to himself as ‘Son of Man’ (Mark 14:61b-62; Luke 22:66-70), which Christianity interprets as a reference to Daniel 7:13-14 (NIV):
In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed..
Because Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah, and that he claimed to be the Son of Man referred to by Daniel, Christianity interprets Daniel 7:13-14 as a statement of the Messiah’s authority and that the Messiah will have an everlasting kingdom. Jesus’ use of this title is sen as a direct claim to be the Messiah.
Jesus offered no denial when others identified him as the Messiah and successor of King David (Mark 8:27-30, 10:47-48, 11:7-10); his opponents accused him of such a claim (Luke 23:2), and he is recorded at least twice as asserting it himself directly (Mark 14:60-62, John 4:25-26).
Christianity interprets a wide range of biblical passages in the Old Testament (Hebrew scripture) as predicting the coming of the Messiah (see Christianity and Biblical prophecy for examples), and believes that they are following Jesus’ own explicit teaching:
* He said to them…”Did not the Christ/Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.” (Luke 24: 25-7, NIV)
* Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Luke 24:45-47, NIV).
* The book of Matthew repeatedly says, “This was to fulfill the prophecy …”. See (the concept of) Messianic prophecy.
Christianity believes many of the Messianic prophecies were fulfilled in the mission, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and seeks to spread throughout the world its interpretation that the Messiah is the only Saviour.
(The role of Jesus in Christian theology goes far beyond identification as the Messiah described in the Hebrew Bible.)

[edit]
In Islam
Main articles: Isa, Mahdi, and Muhammad al-Mahdi
In the Qur’an, the scripture of Islam, Isa (Jesus) is described as a Prophet of God as well as “the Messiah.” The belief is that he was raised to heaven and will return at the end of days to live out the rest of his natural life.
Some Muslims claims the Messiah was prophesized in the “testimony of Levi” in Genesis as a descendent of Levi, and that the prophecy about “the shoot of Jesse” was displaced in antiquity from the Joshua section to other Prophets scrolls, and that both Joshua prophecy and the Testimony of Judah ( the star, shoot) were already achieved in David.
The Mahdi (al-Mahdi, Imam Mehdi, etc.), is a different person from Jesus/Isa and is another messianic figure in Islam. The Mahdi will usher in a new age of peace, and restore a perfect Islamic society. Shia and Sunni opinions on al-Mahdi differ somewhat, but both sects agree that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah.
[edit]
Other Messiahs
See Jewish Messiah claimants for an overview of such claimants and links to more detailed articles.
In Stregheria, Jesus Christ is believed to have been a sort of “evil messiah” or false messiah, while Aradia de Toscano is seen as the true saviour who came to free the poor and the oppressed from the bondages of Christianity.
Adherents to the Unification Movement consider Rev. Moon to be the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
The Shakers believed that Jesus was the male Messiah and Mother Ann Lee, the female Messiah.
For the Rastafari movement, Haile Selassie of Ethiopia was the messiah.
The Ahmadi/Ahmadiyya sect of Islam, considered heretical by mainstream Islam, believes that the Messiah and Mahdi have come in the form of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, India (1835-1908).
[edit]
Messianic figure
A messianic figure is a person who is viewed as having a number of the characteristics of the Messiah in the eyes of a particular group. These usually include that the person is charismatic, influential, develops a power base, is appealing to a large group that views itself as oppressed in some way, and appears to offer a way to overthrow that oppression. Examples of messianic figures include Joan of Arc, said to have visions to deliver France from English domination near the end of the Hundred Years War and Adolf Hitler who claimed he would deliver post-World War I Germany from economic oppression caused by reparations and protect Germany from Communists. George Washington and Boris Yeltsin could be viewed as messianic figures of a sort

IRI wants to Judge and Destroy..Pretty Simple to see in his actions and words..Just Like Bush Judge Hate Destroy simply because they “THINK” they are a Messiah themselves. The GOD complex is IRI. You should work on that IRI..
April 5th, 2006 at 12:44 pmSo IRI does that pretty much cover it?
April 5th, 2006 at 12:47 pmNow would you finally once anf for all leave this BLOG and take your Judgmental God Complex and Phone Rush Limbaugh, I’m sure you two could find all kinds of things about America, and the World to Hate.
I love how I-RIGHT-I and his like come in and derail the thread. Good trolling boys.
Now, this thread is about the fact that Michelle Malkin clearly lied about the Democratic stance on McKinney.
Not all Democrats think that McKinney is innocent. That is a fact.
What is important is the NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST MCKINNEY. NONE, ZERO ZILTCH.
When some files have been filed, you trolls are welcome to come back and bitch about it. Unitl then, you got nothing.
It is like I-RIGHT-I’s racism. He hasn’t killed anybody, yet, so we can’t call him a racial killer. No files have been charged against him.
April 5th, 2006 at 12:49 pmI agree Spudge, Malkin Lied, and this isn’t the first time as I recall, she is just a reactionary Lying Hypocrite interested in ratings and her ’self aggrandizment’, why anyone would support such a corrupt “Fiscal” Administration is beyond me..
April 5th, 2006 at 12:51 pmMalkin as usual does the Republican “Fact’ thing with no supporting evidence. like Gary Ruppert using the word “Fact”\Its laughable.
While [Rep. Cynthia] McKinney and her ilk sling wild charges of racism and conspiracy at the police, national Dems have yet to utter one clear word in defense of the men and women who protect their privileged backsides day in and day out in Washington.
“All” her ILK spew wild charges of Racism.
Not one Word, Yet again no facts [but quikly disproven by TP]
Now I could take that last Sentence of Malkins and spin it into something that its not..
“Michelle Malkin Cares only about the Security of her privileged Ilk in Washington and has cares not one IOTA about those troops that Protect her Privileged backside”
Stupid Pundit tricks, don’t listen to them.
April 5th, 2006 at 1:01 pmPlease note the comments are coming from AWJPGs (angry, white, jobless, pensionless, soon to be gunless males) and lord knows Herr Bush cant have all those armed AWJPGs coming to git em once the truth if discovered which being the only thing left to see.
Now as the world turns upside down on AWJPGs and the only thing left from them to do is lashout — off of their parents or working wife’s paid for Internet access — at those that they think are out to get them and the blunders of the individual Dems.
This allows them a few more year of thinking how wonderful the GOP, Good Old Perverts, was during the going gone days of Bush II. But don’t worry AWJPG’s once your totally kicked out of our parents/exwifes home and on serious drugs the current powers have done so much to take care of you.
Hope you like corporate run prisons.
April 5th, 2006 at 1:04 pmJudd’s post is patently false. Could be misconstrued as A LIE.
1.) Has any Democrat called on McKinney to withdraw her vicious claim that the cop was racist?
2.) Has any Democrat personally called out McKinney as WRONG?
Democrats are proving once again they are the party of racial hatred and istigation. McKinney should be told to STFU and stop blaming others for her mistake. Until she does and until Democrats insist she does, we will use this in the election. It will fit snugly in the expected race baiting over Katrina that the left will employ this fall.
Democrats can’t say anything about McKinney. They can’t offend the black lobby which is snugly in their BACK pocket.
April 5th, 2006 at 1:05 pmSWM seeks pubescent girls and boys for photos and watersports and buggery.
April 5th, 2006 at 1:05 pmRepublicans can’t say anything about Mehlman. They can’t offend the closet case lobby which is snugly in their BACK pocket.
April 5th, 2006 at 1:08 pmThis physical accosting from behind of a black female congresswoman by a white police thug is simply another episode in the ongoing political lynching of the Honorable Cynthia McKinney, who had the temerity to ask a question about 9/11. When McKinney is gone, as unfortunately she will be, there will be no one left. All bow down to the mighty rulers and their uniformed accomplices who are “doing their jobs.”

April 5th, 2006 at 1:10 pmDon - thank God Democrats like you are still around. With your stupidity and hatred, the GOP can’t lose elections. Run to McKinney’s defense - I beg you. It will only serve to expose the Democrats as the race baiting hatemongers they have always been!
April 5th, 2006 at 1:13 pmUp is down. Wrong is right. More tax cuts!
April 5th, 2006 at 1:13 pmOnce again the repugnuts have nothing to scream about so they are screaming into the wind. I so hope your party uses this in Novemeber…you are soooooo going to lose!
April 5th, 2006 at 1:14 pmYou used to have much better trolls. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s become one of those jobs that Americans don’t want. Even though Mexico is the oldest European civilization in the Americas and fully capable otherwise, I don’t think Mexicans are really up to the challenge of lying and race-baiting in their underwear while they write dirty notes to undercover detectives.
Not that it’s difficult work, but it is so difficult for a civilized person to keep doing it. No, we need to keep our own bitter, inbred crackah’asses on the case. Bring back AMERICAN trolls!
April 5th, 2006 at 1:23 pmCoD - thank God Republicans like you are still around. With your child-lust and self-hatred, the Democrats can’t lose the next two elections. Run to Doyle’s defense - I beg you. It will only serve to expose the Republicans as the kid molesting glovesniffers they have always been!

He/she paints us all with a mighty broad brush- because some of us have questioned McKinney’s treatment or are uncertain about the situation, Culture of Discruption calls us race-baiters and cop-hater sympathizers.”

I guess when Reagan and Bush cozied up to Saddam back in the 80’s they were Saddam Lovers, right? Because Bush has not intervened in Darfur, he must be a racist and supporter of ethnic genocide, right? Because Rethuglicans voted for Bush in two election, they must be supporters of foreign policy abortions and failed domestic policies, right? (well, yes, those points are all correct).
Give it a rest, rube. Maybe the Kool aid will wear off and you’ll be able to think straight again.
April 5th, 2006 at 1:27 pmOne Clear Word.
Steny Hoyer used at least 10. Shorten it up or the fascists get flummoxed and say stupid things.
And its clearly “the left’s” fault that one clear word was not used; and therefore they are guilty of deception, cowardice, and disloyalty.
(Anyway, Steny Hoyer is an ass)
April 5th, 2006 at 1:30 pmGuys - Who gives a Fuck about Mckinney?
She is a low level congresswoman. Any problems that she has are hers, and not those of the Democratic party. Unlike the corruption issues of the Republican party, her problems are not systemic or representative of Democrats in general.
She is not important enough to condemn or defend. Every time we allow Repugs to get us talking about Mckinney’s amazingly unimportant incident, we allow them to take the spotlight off of their corrupt and incompetent record.
So let the Repugs piss and moan all they want, but don’t let them dictate the debate. If we take the bait and talk about Mckinney, we have fallen squarely into their trap.
April 5th, 2006 at 1:50 pmYeah, Im sure Malkin was so outraged at Don Sherwood strangling his mistress.
April 5th, 2006 at 1:52 pmThe rude pundit has a great take on the Delay-Mckinney thing.

Back on topic:
Malkin is a water carrerier for the repubs, is anyone suprised by her statements? She and Ann Coulter, and the rest of the right wing pundits make mean and obnoxius statements, because it carries well with their target audience. Makes one wonder who are the haters?
April 5th, 2006 at 1:57 pmHow dumb are the Rethugs getting these days? The minute amount of intellectual power in their party has slowly started to distance themselves from the rest of the knuckle-draggers like that cobag I_Right_I, who is so scared of black people that he has to hide behind his computer monitor and toss out tired-ass buckwheat references but then claim that he isn’t a racist.
That’s one of the problems with the Right. They are just a bunch of bed wetters who are so damn afraid of the black man and of the Muslims that they support hate mongers like Rush and Savage and they are willing to give up their civil rights in order to gain a little false security.
That’s why they don’t mind that the government is gutting everything from science spending to education spending, and that their liberties are being stripped away — as long as they are granted (false) security from the scary, scary terrorists! Phucking bet wetters. Grow a pair. And stay away from chat rooms with kids too, ya damn sickos.

What should Bush do about all his mistakes? He has blamed Saddam and the Media. Maybe he should STFU and resign.

#107 - I am afraid of morons, not blacks.
#104 - why is McKinney not important enough? I have an idea why liberals think that - she’s just another black blowhard that Democrats need to get votes. Put her in your backpocket and tell her 2 shut up? Right? At least you are honest.
April 5th, 2006 at 2:57 pmWhat I don’t get COD, IRI, etal., is how ridiculous you all sound. What do you propose? How about we split this country in half - red and blue. The only problem with that is obvious - the RED country would invade the BLUE country.

Hmmm. You must be one of those “edumucated” red staters, eh? The fact of the matter is that Blue States pour TONS of tax dollars into the poor, underpopulated red states. If we divided this country into red and blue, The blue states would have all the technology, money, scientists and infrastructure.
The red states would essentially devolve into third-world status.
Go for it. lol
And #110, don’t look in the mirror then.
April 5th, 2006 at 3:17 pmSorry madashell. I read your comments too fast and didn’t properly comprehend them. I thought you were saying something about the Red States taking us over or something…. (duh)
Kinda ironic then, for me to make a comment about ‘edumucation’, eh? Sorry again…
April 5th, 2006 at 3:23 pmI would be okay with it, as long as the “red state” took the debt too.

April 5th, 2006 at 3:39 pmGWSuperChrist,
I wonder why all of the Reichwingers want to discuss McKinney, but not how WalMart has back pocketed the republicans in congress so port security is LAX? Or maybe they don’t want to discuss the Security proposals put forward by Democrats - after all, ’specifics’ and ‘legislation’ never seem to be something republicans are interested in. Or then again, maybe they just don’t want to talk about how Republicans think it’s a good idea to have PINS WITHOUT PHOTO IDs as a security measure for circumventing the metal detectors, while having cops that aren’t trained well enough to recognize members of Congress?
Sorry, but the Reichwingers are weak on security, have no plans, no ideas, and no agenda other than robbing america and our future generations. Republicans are FAILURES.
April 5th, 2006 at 3:44 pmIt’s going to be interesting to see what punishment this racist ho is awarded. I think a little community service would be in order. I’d give her a bucket and a mop and have her clean the floors in the capital buildings.

Comment by Culture of Disruption — April 5, 2006 @ 2:57 pm
You are correct. With the Republican party controlling all of those, it is even more clear that the corruption scandal plaguing Congress is a Republican affair, that Iraq is a Republican mess, and that the rampant cronyism is a product of the Republican control over all the branches. Oh, I almost forgot to mention shoplifting and child molesting…
Kind of puts the McKinney mishap in perspective, doesn’t it?
April 5th, 2006 at 3:54 pmMcKinney, a Democrat from suburban Atlanta, didn’t stop at an officer’s request last week, then turned around and hit him after he reached out and grabbed her, said Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer.
“Even the high and the haughty” should be able to stop and identify themselves as members of Congress if confronted at a security checkpoint, Gainer said. “The response is not to hit a police officer.”
——————-
I hope that “high and haughty” comment comes back to bite him in the ass. What a ridiculous thing for Capitol Police Chief to say. Wonder who convinced him that was a good line?
April 5th, 2006 at 4:23 pmI’m gonna get myself one of those cool pins! I can walk right in with one of those on my lapel. Of course, I won’t be recognized, but apparently, that isn’t necessary. A pin gets me in! How can they complain about security? They all have pins don’t they?
April 5th, 2006 at 4:32 pmWooopie!
OUR REPRESENTATIVES HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL PROMISE OF SAFE AND UNMOLESTED TRANSIT TO THE CONGRESS WITHIN THE CAPITOL
HANDS OFF OUR REPRESENTATIVES.
The Capitol police are not the betters of the Constitution. The officer should be fired for touching our representative. With only 15 black women in the Congress, the job obviously includes being able to recognize them, and in addition understand their name when it is spoken to them.
In addition. the AP and other LYING BASTARDS are spinning the incident into her unique attempt to go around the metal detectors. NOT ONE REPRESENTATIVE GOES THROUGH THE METAL DETECTORS. Not Frist, not Hastert, not Jean Schmidt — none of them.
All the representatives go around the metal detectors BY LONGSTANDING ARRANGEMENT.
Fire the pig who thinks he can harrass our representatives and get away with it because some are black or female.

Well, if you Republicans keep getting arrested and having to resign, you won’t have any of them for long.
#95 “Of course, being a cop hater sympathizer, I understand rules are hard for you to follow.”
You might want to give that one a little more thought. I don’t think the Republican party even pretends to have any interest in following rules.
April 5th, 2006 at 5:20 pmWhat went around, has FINALLY come around! The perfect opportunity for all those outraged Republicans, who wanted Bill Clinton out of the White House, for lying about sex. I doubt there are many men out there who have NOT lied about sex, at one time or another. Now they can show us that it wasn’t a personal attack, and that they are equally outraged by the crimes committed by DHS employees. I, for one am eager to hear what they have to say about it. Because wrong is wrong, right?

April 5th, 2006 at 7:10 pmCindy “Buckwheat†McKinny doesn’t deserve respect from me or anyone else.
Comment by I-RIGHT-I — April 5, 2006 @ 11:44 am
Because you’re so valuable? Right.
April 5th, 2006 at 7:13 pm[…] Malkin’s new column, published today (April 5), spins the Cynthia McKinney incident/crime/whatever as proof positive that Democrats hate cops. To wit: While McKinney and her ilk sling wild charges of racism and conspiracy at the police, national Dems have yet to utter one clear word in defense of the men and women who protect their privileged backsides day in and day out in Washington. Fairly immediately, ThinkProgress found an April 4 quote from Steny Hoyer, the party’s whip, the #2 Democrat in the House. Hoyer noted that a gunman had sped past metal detectors and killed two cops in 1998, and “every Capitol Police officer remembers that and has that in his mind, adding. “They are doing their jobs. We need to help them.” Malkin mentioned the 1998 incident in her column. So, a Democratic leader had some “clear words of defense” of the Capitol Police. Case closed, right? […]
April 5th, 2006 at 7:17 pmThere is, in fact, one Democrat in Congress who is thoughtful toward the Capitol police:
My father was a police officer. After the tragedies on September 11th, recognizing the strain that we all were under, I wrote a letter to Sergeant-at-Arms Livingood reminding him that police officers were operating under great stress while working long hours. I asked that they be allowed to use their cell phones to contact their families to know that they were alright. No one else did this. But I did. I will not let this or any other incident dampen my resolve to support those whose work is vital and supports us. It is, however, a shame that while I conduct the country’s business, I have to stop and call the police to tell them that I’ve changed my hairstyle so that I’m not harassed at work.
April 5th, 2006 at 7:49 pmMichelle Malkin should be commended for finally acknowledging that conservatives don’t care about the facts, only the liberals do!
April 5th, 2006 at 7:57 pmIf Malkin has such morals, how come she goes on “I cheat on my pregnant wife and bonk underage Asians” O’Reilly?? Do Malkin and O’Reilly have something going on besides their double standard egos? They attack McKinney’s “security breach” but defend decades of treason and genocide by the Bushes–from arming Hitler to giving Red China the neutron bomb!
April 5th, 2006 at 8:19 pmPlease, Malkin wouldn’t know a fact if it bit her on the nose.
That said, I’ve had it with McKinney v. Cop. Time for a parody.
McKinney Trial Moved to The Hague
EWM- (April 5, 2006) Succumbing to the reality that the U.S. legal system is not up to the task of handling the “trial of the century,†officials announced today that the cop-beating trial of Rep. Cynthia McKinney will be reclassified as a war crime and moved to The Hague.
McKinney is accused of striking a Capitol Hill police officer who accosted her for bypassing a security checkpoint in the Longworth House Office Building. McKinney, a black woman, says it was a case of “racial profiling.†The burley cop, who was not injured, says his “feelings were hurt.†A tourist who witnessed the incident says, “Christ on a cross, can these morons just get over it? 
April 5th, 2006 at 9:45 pmCan’t they simply have the Secret Service come in and waste the asaulting officer? Keystone Kops Inc.. In the suburbs, they go for donuts and burgers - in DC they go for the bourbon (and lots of it!)

I have a friend, who was a liberal Democrat congressman who served six terms in the House with Cynthia McKinney. He usually agreed with her on most issues but described her as a bit unhinged (my words, not his.) Of course, Delay deserves his own ring of hell in Dante’s Inferno, but that’s another story. As for me, I’m not defending McKinney just because she’s a Democrat and I don’t have enough liberal guilt to give her a pass just because of her melanin content and neither should anyone else.

“Buckwheat” McKinney is a race whore and a Marxist fuckwit. The fact that she’s female and black is just icing on the cake so there’s nothing to feel guilty about if you happen to be a Liberal. You have no option BUT to defend her. If she were a republican and pulled that stunt we’d have her out of office the next election but not before the Liberals demanded that she be prosecuted for attempted murder of a police officer. Tell me I’m wrong.

April 6th, 2006 at 2:33 pmYour “Buckwheat” comment is out of bounds. And you are wrong. Bush has committed numerous crimes and yet he remains in office. You idiots don’t police your own any better than the police do. Jeebus- look at the level of fucking corruption oozing out of the GOP. Most of those fuckers will remain in office, and their pig ignorant supporters will continue to vote for them and defend them. Wake up, moron. Your party has crapped on ethical conduct and the rule of law.
IRI,
April 6th, 2006 at 2:38 pmYour “Buckwheat” comment demonstrates how racially insensitive you are. And you are wrong- the Rethugs don’t police their own lawbreakers any better than the cops do. For crying out loud- look at the level of corruption oozing out of the GOP. I’ll bet most of the fuckers will still get the support of their pig-ignorant constituents.

*****OK, explain Ms. McKinney’s lack of religious sensitivities - she’s one of the most notorious anti-Semites in the Congress today. And the “racism” component isn’t flying this time, Cynthia. You look completely different with the new ‘do. I can’t decide which I like better - the prim, school marm look, or the “windswept, I didn’t have time to run a pick through my tresses” look….
April 6th, 2006 at 3:22 pmI RARELY agree with Nancy Pelosi or Steny Hoyer, but when those two turn on a Dem, that Dem screwed up (as Dick Cheney would say) “big time”.
IRI,
Your “Buckwheat†comment demonstrates how racially insensitive you are.

Racially insensitive indeed. The woman’s new do makes her look like Buckwheat. If anything I was being kind to the race whore and Marxist brillowheadedtumblefuck..
April 6th, 2006 at 3:26 pmP.S. REDleg - Some Repubs commit crimes - the difference is - we usually throw them overboard after we see the evidence that they are the pieces of $h*t they demonstrate themselves to be. Dems have another word for it “Kennedyesque”…

April 6th, 2006 at 3:32 pmDid you read anywhere that I defended McKinney’s behavior? No you fucking didn’t. I made a point about IRI’s “Buckwheat” comment. Don’t try to change the subject, you racist fuckwads.
Mighty Chowderhead,
April 6th, 2006 at 3:36 pmYou usually throw them overboard? Are you trying to bullshit me? Let’s see you throw Bush overboard for his crimes. Hell, you’d have to get rid of half of the GOP in Congress if you wanted to get rid of the shitheads.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Rep. Cynthia McKinney apologized on the House floor Thursday for a confrontation with a Capitol Police officer last week.
“There should not have been any physical contact in this incident,” McKinney said.
“I am sorry that this misunderstanding happened at all, and I regret its escalation and I apologize,” she said surrounded by colleagues on the House floor.
She said she would vote for a resolution expressing support for the efforts of Capitol Police.
McKinney’s apology came as a District of Columbia grand jury began hearing testimony Thursday related to the confrontation, sources said.
A decision on whether the Georgia congresswoman will be charged could come as early as next week, federal law enforcement sources said.
Senior congressional sources said that two House staff members — Troy Phillips, an aide to Rep. Sam Farr, D-California, and Lisa Subrize, executive assistant to Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, R-Michigan — have been subpoenaed to testify.
Legal sources familiar with the case said the investigation into the incident is continuing and that is it unclear what impact McKinney’s apology will have.
Police say McKinney struck a Capitol Police officer last week when the officer did not recognize her as a member of Congress and tried to stop her from entering a House office building when she did not present identification.
McKinney accuses the officer of “inappropriate touching” and racial profiling in the incident.
James Myart, an attorney representing McKinney, said he wouldn’t be surprised if his client were indicted.
“Grand juries do what grand juries do,” Myart said. “However, I would think that they would recognize that there simply is not enough evidence here to even bring an indictment.”
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus, which has declined to comment because the facts of the case are in dispute, met Wednesday evening to discuss the incident. McKinney was in attendance.
Also Wednesday, McKinney deflected questions about the confrontation, while the Capitol Police chief said the lawmaker should have known better.
Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer said McKinney didn’t stop at an officer’s request, then turned around and hit him after he grabbed her when she passed a security checkpoint.
“Any time an officer does not know who the person is coming in the building, I direct them to stop that person. And even if you’re stopped, you’re not supposed to hit a police officer. It’s very simple,” he said. “Even the high and the haughty should be able to stop and say, ‘I’m a congressman,’ and then everybody moves on.”

****Dear Mr. REDnose - since a variety of legal experts view the actions of Bush variably (that means “differently”) - it would be PREMATURE to throw him overboard. Silly me - this from a political perspective that views abortion as birth control (or a “preemie”), any criticism of a “person of colour” as “racism”. defends our enemies at the expense of our brave service members, etc.
BTW, you don’t see an “R” behind Ted the Swimmers name. Pervert Repubs belong in jail or worse. But those understanding progs seem to manage to explain away many Dem’s legal or sexual behaviour..
April 6th, 2006 at 7:12 pmActually the droolin’ rabid right wing knuckle draggers like to shove around 69 year old women - like Marsha Rovai, a Nick Lampson supporter. Here’s some pix.

April 6th, 2006 at 7:46 pmIt was called “the southern strategy,” started under Richard M. Nixon in 1968, and described Republican efforts to use race as a wedge issue — on matters such as desegregation and busing — to appeal to white southern voters.
Ken Mehlman, the Republican National Committee chairman, this morning will tell the NAACP national convention in Milwaukee that it was “wrong.”

This is actually really light - but its the first time these racist Tory/Loyalists copped to it.

In 1976, Reagan sought the Republican nomination against the incumbent President Gerald Ford. Reagan’s campaign was on the ropes until the primaries hit the Southern states, where he won his first key victory in North Carolina. Throughout the South that spring and summer, Reagan portrayed himself as Goldwater’s heir while criticizing Ford as a captive of Eastern establishment Republicans fixated on forced integration.
Reagan lost the nomination to Ford in 1976. But when the former California governor ran for the presidency again in 1980, he began his campaign with a controversial appearance in Philadelphia, Miss., where three civil rights workers had been brutally killed. It was at that sore spot on the racial map that Reagan revived talk about states’ rights and curbing the power of the federal government.

Conscience of a conservative?
Ronald Reagan was key to the South’s transition to Republican politics. Goldwater got the ball rolling, but Reagan was at his side from the very beginning.â€

The Civil Rights Act, signed July 2, 1964, by President Lyndon Johnson, ended legal discrimination against blacks at hotels, restaurants and department stores. It also made discrimination illegal in hiring. Barry Goldwater, the Republican presidential nominee that year, decided to make himself a voice f
