So McKinney goes into a building that is not her office building and is upset that she was not recognized by security. With that new hair-do of hers and her change in size, who would notice her? What a nut! And her lawyer is tossing the race bait!

Congressmen like JC Watts never had complaints like this. In fact, I’ve never heard many other members of the Congressional Black Caucus running to cameras with similar complaints over the years. If it happens to Blacks, why is this the first time it has resulted in this kind of confrontation and why don’t we hear plenty of other Black congresspeople saying the same already?

And McKinney is in interesting company. Danny Glover was part of the group of nuts that visited Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. And Howard University is where Kamau Kambon made his “exterminate white people off the face of the planet” statement.

The Political Pit Bull has found that Harry Belafonte is still talking trash. This time at the TransAfrica Forum, which Belafonte is President of and Danny Glover is the Chairman. The group is giving Belafonte an award. How convenient, give their own President an award, get on C-SPAN to talk trash and maybe get some more donations from Bush Hating Leftists. Then what, spread the Bush hate to Africa along with some aid packages?

McKinney has delayed her news conference until 5:30PM. So she can say what she wants and get it into the 6PM national news cycle before anyone else can comment. And it allows her statement to carry over the weekend as well.

update 3/31/2006 8:54PM: McKinney FINALLY had her news conference and basically cried about how she was abused because she’s a Black woman. Sorry McKinney, it’s 2006, and as they say down here in the South, that dog won’t hunt!

And she has the nerve to be trying to file a complain against the cop.

You can see just McKinney’s statement on video over at Expose the Left.

You can watch the entire news conference which includes McKinney’s statement at Atlanta’s 11 Alive news.

Later in the news conference, McKinney answered a couple of questions herself. One question was about McKinney not wearing her pin. She responded to the question by saying:

I do wear the pin when I remember to wear the pin.
…
The issue is face recognition and face recognition is the issue.

So McKinney feels that every cop in every single building used by a Congressperson should know HER FACE. Of course if she wore HER PIN it would have made their job easier! Hey Mckinney, maybe that’s why they gave you the pin in the first place.

There has been talk about other Congresspeople not wearing their pins at times. But we have to keep in mind, that McKinney was not entering the building that HER OFFICE IS IN. So it is understandable that when she goes into a different building that the cops are not used to seeing her with her “new hair-do”. (I mean lets be honest it’s scary!)

At the end of the news conference, both Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte spoke. I guess they went straight from their previous made up awards ceremony, where Belafonte repeated how he hates Bush and loves socialist nations, to running to the defense of a fellow nut case.

Belafonte admitted he does not know the details of the case. But he tossed around race-bait for the crowd. He basically said he does not have a clue about what happened with McKinney, but hey there is racism in DC. He also cried about her being “abused in the past”. So he knows nothing, but is still trying to make a defense for her. Saying nothing about the fact cops have a hard job, especially after 9/11. He only said words that will probably be said by McKinney’s defense team. This was nothing more than lame pandering for public support by crying “racism”.

Belafonte ended by saying:

We stand in solidarity and support with her personally.

Danny Glover talked about how McKinney’s stance on some issues have put her in political and “physical danger”. (I’m not sure when she’s had this supposed “physical danger”.) Mr. Glover feels that since McKinney has stood alone running her mouth about some matters, that means he should stand with her. He mentioned he was not there to judge the merits of the case.

So it was one big Friday Nutty Bush Hating Racism Crying Bash.

update 4/1/2006 11:05AM: Shay at Booker Rising is so surprised by McKinney’s makeover, that she thought the media altered an image of McKinney.

It would be nice if this was all just an April Fools Joke, but unfortunately McKinney’s race-bait is a daily reality.
