Okay, one more thing
After bitching about the was Cynthia McKinney was railroaded, I see the story is getting some play in other blogs as well. Alas, A Blog does a particularly nice job
Showing once again that when it comes to bashing progressives, mainstream Democrats are pretty much indistinguishable from Republicans,
TAPPED and
The Wyeth Wire both link to a
transcript of Cynthia McKinney's comments on the Flashpoints radio show. TAPPED, in an entry entitled "McKinney is still an idiot," claims that McKinney's comments "could be fairly described" by this statement from the New York Times:
Ms. McKinney suggest[ed] that President Bush might have known about the September 11 attacks but did nothing so his supporters could make money in a war.
Wyeth Wire makes a similar claim, calling
Gregory Palast's article defending McKinney "patently false." Just look in this transcript, Wyeth and TAPPED say, and you'll see the statement for yourself.
The funny thing is, neither of these blogs actually quotes McKinney's damning statements. Why? Because - surprise surprise - they're not there.
Ya damn skippy I kept all the links in there. No point wasting all that work.
