Admittedly, it’s a slow news day, and therefore, around here a slow blogging day… And this is the kind of story, that pops up on such a day is this, as if to save us from ourselves. It’s too bad this pops up on a Friday, because if there’s one thing I’m sure of it’s that Neal is going to have something to say about this from Monday.
Cynthia McKinney wants to be the Green Party Candidate.
OK, I guess I shoulda given you a little warning. Sorry.
Anyway, that’s right, we just managed to get one loony Cindy out of the way, the other one shows up. As if the Greens needed any help and being pushed along the road toward moonbatty irrelevance… sheesh.
And let’s examine the old adage that “the green tree, has red roots”, shall we? David Weigel in the Reason article on the subject:
Near the end of the speech McKinney started riffing on the nations who’d elected left-wing leaders.The world can’t wait for us any longer. And the world did not wait! Because starting in Cuba, but then in Venezuela and Chile and Argentina and Bolivia and Brazil, they did not wait for us! So if I do something in 2008, and I really do want to do something in 2008, it will be the fullest expression that I know of revolutionary love. Because we will make revolution and it will only be about love.
Ummmmm…. Yeah. I guess that pretty much proves that. It gets better…
She said, “With the failure of the Democratic Congress to repeal the Patriot Act, the Secret Evidence Act, the Military Tribunals Act, I have to seriously question my relationship with the Democratic Party. The idea has not been ruled out. All the current Democrats running for president support the principle of potential military action against Iran; none of them is for impeachment of the President. They can’t speak for me. I am open to a lot of ideas in 2008.”
As Mr. Johnson said, in “Blazing Saddles”, “Now, who could argue with that?”
The sad part is, assuming Mzzzzz McKinney was found a street corner, even without that face…they’d be edging away from her , and calling the authorities to deal with the mental deficient. I guess it’s true; crazy people who are poorer are called crazy people. Crazy people who were rich are called eccentric. Crazy people who are/were members of Congress, get a pass altogether. Good lord.
BBCT for the second link to Billy, Who as usual, looks to be somewhat more incredulous than I on the matter. Can’t say as I blame him.
To see McKinney anywhere near it, however, brings a whole new dimension of horror to it. This is true regardless of her actual prospects. The very idea that she’s not instantly ground underfoot at her merest mention of something like this is a horrendous indication of how rotten things really are.
I’m not so worried. 
There will be fools always. McKinny continues to label herself as such, each time she opens her mouth. As do, I hasten to point out, supporters she has. There’s a certain point, however, at which railing against them, becomes counterproductive. I figure, she can act as the bug zapper. She will attract a certain kind of bug, leaving the rest of us to enjoy the picnic in peace.
(Shrug) I guess the thing is, it provides proof of what’s been said about such people, all along. I mean, we’ve been pointing out this kind of craziness for years, now. Decades. But when they themselves come along and not only verify what you’ve been saying about them all along, but take it to the next level, that’s got to inspire a reaction against them. And also tends to solidify the position of those who can speak against people like McKinney. She’s giving us an extraordinary example of the logical consequences of the non- thought of the left. Her platforms are precisely what we’ve been warning America about for decades, now.
With all of that, I tend to think she will serve as a millstone around the neck of the left. It will be amazing, I think, to observe the left trying to detach themselves from her, unsuccessfully. And I think by now you see where I’m going with this, if she turns out a very small amount of people, and the left camp detached themselves from her, what do you suppose that’s going to do for everybody else’s chances in the presidential race?
