"Invisibility Looks Good on You: The Rebuking and Scorning of Cynthia McKinney"
'Let's get her [Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney] for being too outspoken, bringing up the wrong issue at the wrong time, failing to get with the program, becoming a distraction', leaving House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi beside herself with rage. ...The leaders of her own party turn their backs while she endures the most vicious racial stereotyping I've seen, since the last time I looked at that old KKK rag called the "Thunderbolt" when a fellow college student stuck a copy in my face back around 1963. ...Right wingers, aided by Democrats ...[who've] already compromised this country into desperate straits... are spinning McKinney as "arrogant," "haughty," a "nut-case," even "the madwoman McKinney" – a woman who, just between us pros, wink wink, doesn't understand how "the game" is played. ...That was Nancy Pelosi's way of saying, "You will comply." ...McKinney understands the game all right. She just refuses to play it.
