Winning Is A Triumph Of Democracy, Losing Is A Clarion Call For Revolution

Mary Katharine Ham on Cynthia McKinney:

McKinney Election Stolen...By 11,000 Votes

Right, Cynthia.

Check out her "concession" speech at the bottom of the Hot Air election coverage from last night.

President Kennedy warned us that, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

Are you threatening me, Cynthia?

Electronic voting machines are a threat to our democracy. So let the word go out-- we aren't going to tolerate any more stolen elections.

Um, you lost by 16 percent in a district that's more solidly Democratic than the Kennedy Compound. It ain't the voting machines, sugar, unless by "machines" you mean "citizens."

We're watching you and we want our leaders back or we will become the leaders. And not only do we want our country back, we want our party back.

We'll become the leaders by blabbering about Sept. 11 conspiracy theories, attacking Capitol Police officers, and subsequently losing by 16 percent in a run-off, and blaming it on the "machines." Wait, you don't think that'll work?

There is a growing force for peace in this country, and the peace movement that we're building is backed by millions of young people.

But it could inevitably become violent at any moment, so watch your back. Peace cannot be stopped!

Some Republicans have discussed whether it's good that McKinney went down, given that she has that special talent for making Democrats look even more batty than usual. I say her going home is good for the country and very, very good for the people of Dekalb, bless their hearts. Seriously, an elected official fomenting stolen-election conspiracy theories after a 16-percent loss in a district she knows dang well should could have kept if she'd kept her mouth shut?

It's disgraceful, and perpetuating the myth of the disenfranchised black voter-- especially in the South-- is the worst kind of race-baiting. Georgia will be much better off without McKinney representing it...
