Political looney toon Cynthia McKinney claiming the National Guard murdered 5,000 prisoners in the wake of Katrina

[Terminator]

It wouldn’t be an election cycle without Cynthia McKinney’s lunacy, and fortunately she hasn’t shied away from providing it. Here, we watch as the Green Party’s endorsed presidential candidate accuses National Guard soldiers of committing 5,000 murders of prisoners in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

If you think that this is the kind of insanity one normally hears from Alex Jones, well ... you'd be right! The conspiracy theorists on the Left and the Right tend to embrace each other at a certain point, just south of rationality. For these people, little points like evidence and common sense provide no obstacles at all to paranoia and fantasy.
For instance, let’s skip past the extremely weak sourcing McKinney uses to make her charges and go right to some obvious points. Wouldn’t the families of these 5,000 prisoners wonder what happened to them? And which prisoners, specifically, have not been accounted for? At least a few names of people who were in Louisiana state custody before Katrina and then not in custody afterwards would provide a starting point for any investigation. And it’s possible to lose a few bodies in the Louisiana swamps, but not even that legendary territory could hide 5,000 of them at once without a few of the locals taking notice.
Normally, we’d dismiss this kind of idiocy, but this is no ordinary idiot. McKinney is a former member of Congress and a candidate for President on a party that wants to claim national legitimacy. She is also known for assaulting a U.S. Capital Police Officer and crying racism. This shows the intellectual level of the Greens, but it also puts in play yet another baseless conspiracy theory about Katrina and its aftermath. We’ll be hearing this lie for the next few years, thanks to McKinney.

She does have an impressive resume:

• helped create her old House seat through race-based gerrymandering;
• was a member of the extremely radical Progressive Caucus;
• has a voting record that is applauded by the AFL-CIO, NARAL, and the NEA, a teacher's union that bears heavy responsibility for the current sorry state of affairs in education;
• has voted to legalize killing babies even after they are born;
• has voted against safeguards to prevent fraudulent voting;
• has refused to vote to condemn the rabidly racist lunatics at Nation of Islam;
• has taken every possible opportunity to express her hostility toward Israel;
• has taken massive political campaign contributions from radical Muslims;
• begged for the $10 million Rudy Giuliani turned down after 9/11 from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal — money that came attached to the message that we deserved what we got for supporting Israel;
• publicly said, "We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11. What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered?….What do they have to hide?";
• supported brutal Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe's policy of confiscating land from Caucasians; and;
• counted the Association of Trial Lawyers of America as one of her biggest campaign contributors.

The nomination was McKinney's for the asking; there's no one else to the left of Obama.

That blog sums it up nicely for me. She's a moonbat. An extremely racist moonbat at that.

I wish I had known about the National Guard's plans , I could have sent them a couple dozen prisoners.
