Cynthia McKinney Deserves Your Support, Obama Does Not
As many of you know, I’ve been increasingly disappointed to the sake of disillusionment with Obama these past weeks beginning with the Rev. Wright betrayal. Black Agenda Report points out some very good things about Obama that should be obvious but unfortunately aren’t as Obama is fast becoming the newest Washington slick-willy.
I’m leaning towards Cynthia McKinney…a Washington rebel that signed her political death sentence by refusing to accept without question the official story regarding 9/11.
“McKinney, whose last act in Congress was to submit articles of impeachment against George Bush in 2006; who courageously questioned the White House version of events before and after September 11, 2001; who acted as a one-person conscience of the House Armed Services Committee, speaking out against corporate and military mega-theft under both Clinton and Bush; who has with amazing consistency always placed principle above her own personal and electoral fortunes, is at this juncture in history the only vehicle through which progressives can both register their outrage at Obama and begin the process of rebuilding a mass, Black-led movement for real social change. (Ralph Nader cannot, for reasons of temperament and race, achieve such dual purposes.)”
