Former Congresswoman, continuing moonbat, Cynthia McKinney is threatening a comeback. 
Denise L. Majette, the non-Moonbat politico who beat McKinney for re-election to her Congressional seat is going to be making a run for Senate, leaving the seat up for grabs again. For those who don't recall, McKinney is the person who implied that George Bush knew about the events of 9/11 in advance, even attending a convention of 9/11 conspiracy theorists in Berlin last year. She also raised more than a few eyebrows when she (and fellow bizarro-world resident John Pilger) was named a Frank H.T. Rhodes Class of '56 professor at Cornell University (way to keep the endowment dollars flowing in, guys) [edit: That point isn't well made. Of course she's not blameworthy for being named to the post. I had more in my head that never made it to my fingers. Oh well, just read the articles below.].
But that stuff's just the tip of the iceburg for friend of radical Islamists McKinney. Jewish World Review has two articles today on the subject. Those familiar with McKinney will not miss the irony.
When McKinney was unseated two years ago, her father, Billy McKinney, who lost his state legislature seat in the same election, spelled out just who he held responsible: " J-E-W-S." There were no objections or apologies from his daughter...
In a much-publicized 2001 incident, then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani turned down a $10 million gift to the city from bin Talal after the prince implied that U.S. policy in the Middle East was to blame for the 9/11 attacks. Shortly thereafter, McKinney wrote a letter to bin Talal apologizing for Giuliani's actions and saying that she was "disappointed" that Giuliani had declined bin Talal's "generous offer."
When it comes to blaming America first, McKinney has few equals. In September 2001, she refused to join the U.S. delegation in walking out of the rabidly anti-American and anti-Semitic "World Conference Against Racism" in Durban, South Africa. Instead, she issued a press release calling her country's behavior at the conference "obnoxious."
McKinney has complained that "thousands of Muslims and Arab Americans . . . have been detained on secret evidence, no evidence, no charges," as a result of the War on Terror. She's also blamed American sanctions for causing "the death of over one million innocent Iraqis."...
