McKinney: DoD Shot 5,000 Prisoners During Katrina

Ed Morrissey, Hot Air, October 1, 2008
It wouldn’t be an election cycle without Cynthia McKinney’s lunacy, and fortunately she hasn’t shied away from providing it. Here, we watch as the Green Party’s endorsed presidential candidate accuses National Guard soldiers of committing 5,000 murders of prisoners in the wake of Hurricane Katrina:
{snip} The conspiracy theorists on the Left and the Right tend to embrace each other at a certain point, just south of rationality. For these people, little points like evidence and common sense provide no obstacles at all to paranoia and fantasy.
{snip} And which prisoners, specifically, have not been accounted for? At least a few names of people who were in Louisiana state custody before Katrina and then not in custody afterwards would provide a starting point for any investigation. And it’s possible to lose a few bodies in the Louisiana swamps, but not even that legendary territory could hide 5,000 of them at once without a few of the locals taking notice.
{snip} McKinney is a former member of Congress and a candidate for President on a party that wants to claim national legitimacy. This shows the intellectual level of the Greens, but it also puts in play yet another baseless conspiracy theory about Katrina and its aftermath. We’ll be hearing this lie for the next few years, thanks to McKinney.
[Editor’s Note: See and hear Cynthia McKinney make her claims here.]

Mc Kinney was elected based on how many bad things she would say obout Whitey, whether they were true or false.The same principle applies to many other elected black officials.

No bodies? Then it must have been alien abductions! It’s hard to believe this is not a spoof from the show Saturday Night Live.

There’s more to come when Obama gets into the White House.

Ungrateful fat piece of affirmative action and welfare lard…..
Let us hope she gets to spend the next disaster couped up with her own kind for a few weeks.

Geeks like Justin Raimondo will buy this hook, line and sinker. Now if it was David Duke making this claim they’d present it as proof of white racism.

What’s says isn’t that she says this, but a lot of black people will believe this and it will give them another excuse to feel sorry for themselves and will give them moral authority.

I would buy this story if it read “5,000 National Guard soliders murdered by Katrina survivors”.

nader siphoned off enough votes in 2000 to give the state of florida to Bush- maybe she’ll do the same and take a few obama voters…

I wonder if some of the posters on this forum have heard some liberals say McKinney would be a good President, and if they have heard this from loony liberals, can you see what this nation is up against?

I have no comments on this one that AmRen would possibly post, sO I’ll just leave it alone.

It might be said that McKenney has a screw loose. But that would infer that she would be repairable.

Cynthia McKinney, if she was White, would be an inexplicable aberration among members of Congress (there are some things so idiotic even a congressman won’t say them publicly). But since McKinney is a BLACK former congresswoman, one must just put down her statements in the “Consider the source” category and go on with one’s business.
Every time it appears that blacks couldn’t possibly elect one of their own as a congressman who is more unbelievable than the ones who went before, they fool us again. Never a dull moment!

I’ve heard through some of the people local to where I live who helped out after Katrina that indeed there were a large number of bodies recovered with bullet holes.
Hundreds or maybe even thousands.
But these were the result of the lawlessness/looting/chaso which resulted after the police abandoned the city; revenge killings, etc.

I hope there were no whites among the “killed”.Just kidding folks,just like ms.Cynthia is. B.M.

This is an example of a community leader, someone who represents blacks and speaks for them, who was elected to Congress in an overwhelmingly black district. She’s just intelligent enough to formulate a theory of and reasons for what peeves her, rather than simply erupting in wordless, impulsive violence at the slightest provocation.
For blacks, that constitutes being educated, and places Ms. McKinney a little higher on the evolutionary scale. Of course, there was that incident with the Capitol Police…

Good grief! She’s GOT to be on that “stuff” again. Someone please have this racist cow drug tested!

“McKinney: DoD Shot 5,000 Prisoners During Katrina.”
Here’s an excellent example that is representative of the majority of blacks in this country. She’s dimwitted. And paranoid as well.
Having a population of people in a society that believes every kooky conspracy theory around, in addition to having a sub-standard intellect, makes for a great deal of problems and constant chaos.
They put this country on the brink 24/7, with no let up in sight.

I’m suppose to tell you all that the following is sarcastic.
Cynthia is right!
These white National Guard troops had been specially trained in a Black Ops training site in the Nevada desert for the sole purpose of terminating black inmates from various prisons in and about the United States during hurricanes!
According to a man whose brother’s pastor had a church member, whose daughter’s husband’s cousin’s son was actually involved, it was all under the control of the I. M. F.(International Monetary Fund) using the C.I.A. as cover for the T. L. C. (Tri Lateral Commission) and O. W. O. (One World Order) Neo Cons.
The few bodies recovered from the swamp revealed that not only had each person been shot once in head but that, inexplicably, all of their blood had been drained from their tantalums!
Many of these bodies were seen being lifted into a large, mile long, hexagonally shaped, hovering aircraft with orange, oblong shaped flashing lights, which immediately disappeared as silently as it had arrived.
Investigators, arriving within the hour, found the remains of thousands of dead frogs lying in long rows on the ground where the strange aircraft had been sighted. Each croaked frog’s head was found pointing directly toward magnetic North. Also found was an elderly black man with dreadlocks from Haiti,reciting strange voodoo curses on the National Guardsmen, while he was seen sticking one pin, and only one pin, into back of each croaked frog’s head.
The rumor, unverified at this point in time, is that Cynthia was given this information by a retro time traveler appearing to her disguised as a “gray” alien. An alien that was fluent in Ebonics as well as …………..Spanish!
Who is the Vice Presidential nominee? Art Bell?

Now let’s think about this for a minute. Let’s pause and just consider what this women said AND THE FACT SHE IS A U.S. representative. In another day, not even so long ago, any person who said something like this who actually had power over the American citizenry, would be closely examined medically and then committed to the nearest asylum for observation. When we have politicians in this nation, that can say things as utterly irresponsible and stupid as what she said, then if that isn’t a sign of the deep trouble we are in, in this nation,—nothing is.

Cynthia McKinney is a cross between Idi Amin and Buckwheat - she employs NOI racists, the “fruits of islam” to add to her “street cred.” Her hip-hop VP is married to a 5 percenter, an extreme “thugs on drugs” version of the NOI. The political party system in America is dominated by multi-culti, globalist, left-leaning lunatics. It will take a war to stop this insanity.

“It might be said that McKenney has a screw loose. But that would infer that she would be repairable.”
…as well as an insult to screws everywhere.

What the morons who believe this hokum don’t understand is how hard it is to make even one body disappear, let alone five thousand. Death Row in prisons across this country are filled to capacity with murderers who obviously had trouble disposing of just a single body.
A couple good blood hounds could put this story to rest—either turning McKinney into a new Black Messiah or relegating her to the nearest Psyche Ward under 24 hour surveillance.

I’ve read several official tallies of the dead, broken down by age and race, but NONE of them lists how many died from violence. The coroner surely has those figures! I’ve seen police pictures of dozens of bodies found around the city, and many were officially titled with descriptions of violent death: Male showing signs of strangulation, Body of male with bullet wounds, Body of male thrown from bridge (he was tossed from a high freeway overpass and left to die) etc.
It’s obvious that LOTS of “Katrina Victims” died at the hands of other “victims”, but the numbers and percentages are being suppressed. Officials don’t dare disturb the media narrative.

Cynthia McKinney is emotionally unstable. I seem to remember that she once assaulted a security guard in Congress. I believe she also blamed “the Jews” for her lost Congressional race. She is a fine candidate for the Green Party.
Posted by Sardonicus at 10:51 AM on October 2
Too bad she wasn’t one of them.
As the endorsed PRESIDENTIAL candidate of the Green party (I’m confused; shouldn’t that be the BLACK party?) If the green party has ANY hope of being taken seriously, this isn’t the way.
They must be smoking crack too, along with Cynthia McKinney and Marion Barry.

This latest McKinney incident should finally convince someone in charge of some oversight and ethics dept. in government - somewhere - to throw a net over this woman, and drive her quickly to the nearest puzzle palace.
Truly, this woman is incredibly disturbed.
Posted by Proactive at 9:16 PM on October 2
Actually for all of you here that can’t stomach voting for Obama or McCain consider voting for this bozo! She has no chance of winning of course. Truly, with all her craziness and laughable behavior we need somebody like her around to constantly remind America how childish, paranoid and insane some of these folks are!
Posted by Beaumont at 1:28 AM on October 3
too bad the greens nominated this wacko. Nader was a useful participant in the process as a Green candidate; McKinney is not a Green as much as someone with stripes, like a member of a chain gang of old. Her oversized eyes always indicated insanity to me. She is obsessed with conspiracies against herself, blacks and anyone she cares to take up a cause for. Maybe she can tramp thru the swamps of the lower Mississippi and find an alligator to adopt as her Green symbol. She does make Obama look like a moderate.
Posted by feller at 12:20 PM on October 4
Obviously this woman is targeting the black voter with this nonsense which would only serve to weaken Obama. As hilarious as this sounds she might be a Republican operative!

The point is that most blacks will believe ANYTHING. Their whole lives are based on rationalization and self-deception. Look at how many blacks there are who really think their ancestors built the pyramids. With the power of the internet, rumours can spread like wildfire and quickly assume a “level of truth” among the gullible and thsoe who will believe anything they want to believe.

The reality is that most whites will believe ANYTHING. Their whole lives are based on rationalization and self-deception. Look at how many whites there are who really think that nothing is wrong in the direction of country or that blacks built the pyramids.
How do you knowledgeable white people know, really know, McKinney is wrong about this little travel vignette?

The decision to summarily execute 5000 county jail inmates would be lunacy far exceeding that McKinney displays by making the accusation. Bodies have a way of being found, and time does not necessarily prevent them from being properly identified; for instance, the remains of the Russian royal family were discovered and correctly identified. Officialdom would have a great deal of trouble blaming 5000 sets of human remains, each showing gunshot injuries as the work of gangs, serial killers or a cult mass-suicide.
If the number of inmates abruptly changed, the best explanation is a combination of ordinary releases, inmates who were given P.R. bonds, and work-release inmates who simply failed to return during the chaos produced by Katrina. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that returning from work-release to a below-sea-level coastal jail during a major hurricane is not a terribly bright idea. It isn’t clear whether this drop in inmate population also included inmates who absconded from halfway houses, perhaps the easiest and most common way to escape custody there is.
McKinney does deserve some congratulations here. Wacky conspiracy theories are just plain fun, and this is a particularly entertaining one.
