Democrat lawmaker attacks police officer

The adjective for a member of the Democratic party is Democratic--as in Democratic lawmaker. How hard is that for you to understand?

MM started this thread simply to get a rise out of the democrats and there is no doubt in my mind on that one!

I'm sure he doesn't like Blacks or women either, so it could be a combination.

Another stupid comment from a lefty on A2K... small wonder that.

Funny how you guys bitch and moan about us, saying that we are constantly attacking you guys and you go and call me stupid

You're a funny guy McG ;-)

Isn't it ironic how that works. I noticed MM Take off on a young poster the other night ... I think you were there .... Erymil or something like that. The kid had been totally polite and all, but MM let him have it and started name-calling.

It's hilarious, righties are the first to name-call, and the first to whine !!

Ironic, eh??

If she was a republican, we wouldn't be having this conversation because you wouldn't have started a thread on it in the first place.

Wanna bet???
And I said Democrat because she IS a Democrat.

House to vote on commending Capitol police after scuffle with McKinney

(Capitol Hill-AP) April 4, 2006 - Some House Republicans want to officially commend the US Capitol police force for professionalism after a confrontation between an officer and a Democratic congresswoman.
North Carolina Republican Patrick McHenry says ignoring a police officer's order is never OK. He wants the House to pass a resolution supporting the Capitol police.

But Georgia Democrat Cynthia McKinney says her dispute with police isn't about whether she obeyed an officer's order. She says she was "inappropriately touched." And she has said she thinks it happened partly because she's black.

The six-term congresswoman had an argument with a uniformed officer while entering a House building. The officer didn't recognize her. She refused to stop, and struck him. Her actions could draw federal charges.

McKinney hasn't found much support from fellow Democrats. The party's number-two House member, Steny Hoyer of Maryland, says lawmakers and others should "cooperate fully" with Capitol Police officers.

Republicans Praise Capitol Hill Police

POSTED: 12:18 pm EDT April 4, 2006

WASHINGTON -- House Republicans pushed a resolution Tuesday commending the Capitol police force for professionalism after a confrontation between an officer and Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney ...

Last week, McKinney had an argument with a uniformed police officer as she sought to enter a House office building. The officer did not recognize her. She refused his order to stop and struck him ...

McKinney has drawn little support from her House colleagues, particularly Democrats who are launching an election-year campaign that revolves around the party's commitment to national security.

Her lawyer, James Myart Jr., issued a statement on Friday saying several members of Congress would join McKinney at a press conference on Friday at Howard University.

None did. D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton issued a statement of concern about the incident and urged the parties to come to an agreement. A spokesman for Rep. Mel Watt, D-N.C., chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said he has no comment.

McHenry, who at 30 is the youngest member of Congress, said he is routinely stopped by Capitol Police and asked for identification.

"When I'm not wearing my pin, I am always stopped," McHenry said in a telephone interview. "I accept that as a due course of security."

Set,
I'll make you a deal.
I will NEVER use the word Democrat ever again to describe a lawmaker,IF you agree to NEVER use the word republican anytime you are talking about anything a lawmaker does.

Is that fair?

Nonsense - had it been a Republican at the center of the flap, a similarly-themed thread would have been started by someone of political bent contrary to MM's, with posts and players then pretty much the same as we have here - just reversed positions.

McKinney is distraction, say the Dems

McKinney's arrogance crosses line

Geeze, yer a piece of work. who has called you a racist? Do you now allege that Roxxane called you a racist?
