Unlike several other conservative bloggers who seem to believe the Cynthia McKinney punching an officer incident is a huge deal, I don’t. I think it’s funny, but hardly worth the time to discuss such an event. That is until her lawyer spoke.

Her lawyer, James W. Myart Jr., said, “Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, like thousands of average Americans across this country, is, too, a victim of the excessive use of force by law enforcement officials because of how she looks and the color of her skin.”

“Ms. McKinney is just a victim of being in Congress while black,” Myart said. “Congresswoman McKinney will be exonerated.”

“Congresswoman McKinney, in a hurry, was essentially chased and grabbed by the officer,” Myart said. “She reacted instinctively in an effort to defend herself.”

She either punched or slapped a Capital Police officer that did not recognize her and she wasn’t wearing a pin that would identify her as a member of Congress. What she did really doesn’t matter, or to me at least. Her reasoning that she is in a hurry therefore should get off though is a troublesome message to send to the youth of this nation. If you’re in a hurry and you have to get somewhere, you can break the law.

I think we all knew the whole racism card would be played. It usually does when it comes to McKinney who believes all of black society’s ills can be traced back to The Man. The Man in this case was the Capital Police who, frankly, was just doing their job.

I should also point out that McKinney might have had a decent defense in claiming she “reacted instinctively,” but she does what she always does and put race into every single incident.  In my opinion, she loses her possible valid point by making charges of racism.  Does anyone even know what color the Capital Police officer was?  I only ask because logically speaking, that could make a difference, but we are also continually told it is not the color of an officer’s skin that causes the officer to be racist or not, but it is the police institution itself that is somehow racist.

I’m so sick of this, really.  If McKinney truly wanted to be a champion against all forms of racism, she would stand up in the House and move to remove all instances of Affirmative Action.  She won’t, and she doesn’t actually believe there should not be any racism.  Her actions and inactions support that statement.
