Aaron at Uppity-Negro:

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?

And if you read Uppity-Negro with any regularity you know what comes next. Which is one reason I links to him periodically.

And to any Conservatives that get happy about the above, this:

I swear to God, the difference between you and the conservatives/Republicans is measurable in fucking millimeters.

There. I feel much better now.

…ain't exactly a ringing endorsement of YOUR positions either.
