A request
And I hardly think it's an unreasonable one, but I have been given to understand that my take on such things is often skewed. Cynthia McKinney Wins Support of Congresswomen:
On Saturday June 26, former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was visited by Congresswoman Maxine Waters of California’s 35th Congressional District, Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur of Ohio’s 9th Congressional District, and Congresswoman Barbara Lee of California’s 9th Congressional District, who all came to Georgia’s Fourth Congressional District to lend their support to McKinney’s bid to regain her seat.
I realize it's entirely too much to ask that our white liberal "allies" sacrifice any political capital towards this effort, but if it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you not, you know, actively work against it?
I know, I know, it's a lot to ask, to allow us to make our own fucking decisions about who represents us, and we're so ungrateful, after all you've done for us, and she/we are so clearly delusional, and blah de blah.
You know what, though?
Fuck you.
I have had more than enough of having to put up with the bullshit that constantly streams from you mother fuckers, biting my tongue and working my brain to come up with a way of saying things without hurting your incredibly thin-skinned widdle white feelings.
So, again, fuck you. Fuck you up your stupid, holier-than-thou, barely-restrained-racist asses. I swear to God, the difference between you and the conservatives/Republicans is measurable in fucking millimeters.
There. I feel much better now.
So. Cynthia McKinney, who makes a brief cameo in the (ignored by good white liberals, who have "gotten over it") Florida election fiasco prologue to Fahrenheit 9/11, is running to regain her congressional seat.
I trust this isn't a problem for anyone.
Want to know more, or at least enough to have something intelligent to contribute? See also: The Screwing of Cynthia McKinney, by Greg Palast:
As an editor of the highly respected Atlanta Journal Constitution told NPR, McKinney’s “practically accused the President of murder!”Problem is, McKinney never said it.
That’s right. The “quote” from McKinney is a complete fabrication. A whopper, a fabulous fib, a fake, a flim-flam. Just freakin’ made up.
Clearly, readers are encouraged not to toss this made-up quote my way.
Another totally unreasonable request from the nigger, I know.
Did I say "fuck you" already?
Well, it bears repeating.
Every god damn minute of every god damn day.

I love you. :)

For myself, I can't say I'm "over" voter disfranchisement in 2000. I recognize there's not anything I can do to fix it, no effort there will change the results, and that any efforts I can make are better directed towards trying to stop current disfranchisement of voters that may keep them out of the upcoming election. I don't see how anybody can be unworried about that.

Don't get me started on Cynthia McKinney.
She's full of used food. Period.

Ok, don't get started on Cyntia McKinney.
Oh, it's too late.
Well, you can stop now.
Ginger, I can give you some quotes from/links to people "unworried about that," if you want. My favorites are the ones who then turned around and accused the Gore camp of wanting to disenfranchise our military, demonstrating once again the liberal hatred of blah de blah. Charming folk.
Hanna, you're a sweetie.

Let me rephrase that. I don't see how people with a lick of sense aren't worried about voter disfranchisement. That there are self-centered idiots who think it can't happen to them is really no surprise.
And of course, the evil will always be with us, but who gives a shit about their opinions until they start implementing them as policy?
