One of my favorite pi?atas at The Left Coaster has taken it upon himself to defend Cynthia McKinney against the charge of Judenhass. I guess that's a worthwhile goal if you are already somewhat suspect in your support of America, Israel, and the basic right of people to be free from the tyranny and disease of extremist Islam.
But I stand behind my characterization of this woman, who is very likely to regain the House seat she lost in 2002, because there is very little in her record that would suggest that she's not a Jew-hater.
See this article in the Atlanta Jewish Times or this post in the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler. This article by John Fund in the OpinionJournal site of the Wall Street Journal is another good place to go to verify McKinney's hatred. Fund writes:
Ms. McKinney provided...proof of her lack of judgement by accepting campaign contributions from at least 18 donors who, in the words of the Washington Post, were "either officers of Muslim foundations under investigation by the FBI, have voiced support for Palestinian and Lebanese terrorist organizations or have made inflammatory statements about Jews."
On 28 November 2001, a letter written by a member of McKinney's staff, Raeed Tayeh, was published in The Hill. Tayeh, whose reputation as a piece of shit is certain, said:
"What is more disturbing to me is that many of these pro-Israeli lawmakers sit on the House International Relations Committee despite the obvious conflict of interest that their emotional attachments to Israel cause. The Israeli occupation of all territories must end, including Congress."
Yep. It's that old ZOG magic.
In April 2002, McKinney demonstrated her stupidity and Jew-hatred once again by denouncing Jewish terrorism carried out against Jenin. Along with the rest of the anti-Jewish Leftist press, McKinney had bought into the lie of a massacre at Jenin. Why? Because it's all the fashion to run down a Jewish government trying to defend itself. Never mind that there was no massacre at Jenin. Never mind the sovereign right of free people to defend themselves against subhuman garbage.
As we have seen, McKinney is not only a Jew-hater ---and the daughter of one--- but a friend of Islamist terrorism. Check out her list of current campaign contributors. Many of them are strongly aligned with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and CAIR. As Freerepublic.com notes:
McKinney has also accepted substantial donations from individuals linked to the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the Benevolence International Foundation and the Global Relief Foundation -- three Muslim "charitable" organizations now labeled Specially Designated Global Terrorist entities by the U.S. Treasury Department.
It's not a mystery as to why these Mohammedan fascists would support a thorn in the side of the friends of Israel and the Jewish people.
Add to all of this McKinney's close ties to Louis Farrakhan and Jesse Jackson, and it's easy to draw the conclusion that Cynthia McKinney is an enemy of Jews everywhere.
