Arrest Warrant Sought for Rep. McKinney

McKinney, 51, scuffled with a police officer on March 29 when she entered a House office building without her identifying lapel pin and did not stop when asked. Several police sources said the officer, who was not identified, asked her three times to stop. When she kept going, he placed a hand somewhere on her and she hit him, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

McKinney issued a statement of regret for the incident but no apology. She and her lawyers have repeatedly declared that she was a victim of inappropriate touching and racism and said they were considering pursuing civil action against the officer.

Asked Monday why she didn't stop as the uniformed officer asked, McKinney framed the matter in terms of race.

"The issue is racial profiling," she said on CNN's "The Situation Room."

The issue is racism? The issue is improper touching? Let's read this again...

Something tells me I couldn't get away with that...
 
Any guesses of the type of defense she will use?

Guesses? Don't we already know?

They issued her this when she went to DC.

As I have said before this will all come to naught and will be quickly squashed.
The law applies to some but not to others. Bet the house on it.
 
"She has our support unconditionally," Elligan said. "She is not a threat to the security of our country.

Whats that have to do with anything?

She still struck an officer. Sounds like assualt...

But, her being a 'minority' and a politician, wasnt arrested on the spot...
 
She probably IS a threat to the security of our country, actually, since she's a member of Congress.
 
"We are working with Capitol Hill police to fully understand and appreciate the incident," principal assistant U.S. Attorney Channing Phillips told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

Is this full spin mode? What's there to appreciate?

This whole thing brings to mind a nugget of wisdom uttered by one Samuel Clemans.

"Suppose you were an idiot . . . And suppose you were a member of Congress . . . . But I repeat myself."

and a felony at that. Is she going to lose her 2nd amendment rights for life for this crap? Is that fair? or what the 2nd intended?

I'm not sticking up for her or what she did but fear that if it was you or me, we would lose or firearms for life.
 
She was "a victim of inappropriate touching?"

If she wants to file sexual assault charges, she should put up or shut up.
 
Yeah. Who would risk his job to touch HER, anyway?

Oh yeah...

But I don't think he was even IN Washington that day... Had a lucrative gig with the UAE, I think, so he was in Dubai along with Bob Dole...:mad:
 
Cynthia McKinney's Real Problem

Beyond her lefty politics, race card playing, and grassy knoll conspiracy attitudes, she lacks class.

A class person would have shown grace and charm under stress. If she had class, every security guard would have known who she is because she would have gone out of her way to introduce herself to them. She would have got to know as many as possible by name, establishing an individual personal relationship with as many as possible. Guards would look forward to seeing here, pointing her out to newbies.

She is the 2006 equivalent of Thomas Dewey.

He also appologized for the remark.

AN APOLOGY

Talking about stepping in it!

Suddenly, for some people, the issue isn't Cynthia McKinney hitting a law enforcement officer and then screaming racism. Nope. The issue is what I had to say about her hair style. That's entirely fair --- to a point. Last Friday I said that that hairdo ... the wild and crazy every hair going in a different direction hairdo -- made her look like a ghetto slut. Know what? That was wrong. Bad wrong. That was overboard. I know Cynthia McKinney. I've know her for years. I intensely dislike her anti-American politics and her constant race baiting ... but on a personal level we've always gotten along just fine .. kidding each other ... needling each other. I remember her spotting me sitting in the House visitors gallery one day and yelling (with a smile on her face, by the way) "Neal Boortz! Who the hell let you in here?" I've known her father much longer than I've known her. I have said on the air several times this past week that I think that she has an endearing personality and a million-dollar smile.

That being said, I don't think that it was right to use the word "slut" in any description involving her or her hairdo. So ... my heartfelt apologies to Cynthia McKinney. I'll say it here, and I'll say it on the air on today. When I'm wrong I'll admit it with no hesitation.

Now this apology is going to mean absolutely nothing to those of you who consider every word ever uttered by someone-not-liberal to be "hate speech." This apology is going to mean nothing to those of you who consider every negative comment or criticism ever made of or about anybody-not-white to be "racism." Most of the people who have sent me some rather nasty emails in the last 24 hours know nothing about me except what they've read on some far-left websites. One listener from Saginaw, Michigan wrote to say that this apology indicates that I recognized my error and that I take responsibility for my words. He then wonders if it will be accepted. I am not concerned about whether or not it will be accepted. That's up to McKinney. I've said this because it's the way I feel. The apology, therefore, is for the millions of listeners who do know me and who were disappointed by my statement on Friday. Sorry I let you down.

Actually, I should be horsewhipped for saying something stupid that allowed, to some extent, the attention to shift from the wrongdoing of Cynthia McKinney to my ill-chosen words. The issue here is not how one would define Cynthia McKinney's hairstyle. The issue is whether or not Cynthia McKinney assaulted a law enforcement officer who was merely trying to do his sworn duty. Contrast, if you would, my apology with that of Cynthia McKinney. McKinney has only said that she "regrets" that the incident happened. That is not an apology. So far as I've heard there has not been one "I'm sorry." Instead, McKinney stages a news conference Friday afternoon featuring two of premiere Hollywood leftist jackasses, Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte, two men fresh from their recent appearance giving aid and comfort to America-hater Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. So, there is Cynthia McKinney, standing there with two men who have said some mighty foul things about our country and our president, accusing a police officer of being a racist because he didn't recognize her when she circumvented a screening station. That man spends his days protecting McKinney and her colleagues; and she thanks him by calling him a racist for merely doing his job. Let's see if Cynthia can eventually stand up and apologize for being a fool. I just did. It really doesn't hurt all that much.

I just saw her play the Race card on CNN. They asked her if she Assaulted the Officer, her responce went right to Race. It's just a deplorable excuse, and I hope the Georgans see this.
 
Is she going to lose her 2nd amendment rights for life for this crap?
Click to expand...

The 2nd amendment said there shouldnt be a law to stop someone from getting a weapon, yet I spent the day filling out the paperwork to dance around all the laws preventing me from taking direct ownership of my next gun.

That said, If she wants a gun she can probly still get one.
Politicians are exempt from pesky little federal laws trying to infringe on their rights, unfortunatly thats not the case for the rest of us.
