Georgia Mud Wrestling

That’s all this is ... good ol’ fashioned Georgia Mud Wrestling. I sincerely hope and pray McKinney gets her butt whupped in the upcoming primary runoff. Anybody would be better than McKinney in Congress. In fact a rock would be better than this ignorant, arrogant, egotistical, pitiful excuse for a rational human being. Race-baiting is the least of her sins but she plays the race card as often as she can. In fact, I think she has a couple up her sleeve at all times.

Giver her hell, Mr. Johnson. The woman is an embaressment to the state of Georgia and the entire US. Please beat this woman and bring some common sense back to Congress. You have my endorsement. Now go git her! Take no prisoners! Slam this goober at the polls.

McKinney, Johnson Trade Barbs Again
(ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION) - 08/03/06

The closer Cynthia McKinney and Hank Johnson get to Tuesday’s runoff, the nastier the race seems to be getting. At a community forum Thursday night in North DeKalb, the two candidates for the Fourth Congressional District again traded barbs in their efforts to secure crucial votes.

And for one of the first times publicly, Johnson took off the gloves. After McKinney accused him of being under the thumb of Republicans because of the money he has gotten from GOP-leaning donors, he struck back.

“I can accuse her of being under the control of terrorists, but I won’t” Johnson said, because of the money that her campaign has gotten from Muslim interests.

On the current crisis in the Middle East McKinney said that the U.S. must be an “honest broker.” She said that the United States shouldn’t be giving support and arms to Israel to fight against Lebanon, and their fighters who are “throwing rocks.”

“We have to deal fairly with all countries. We have to deal with Palestinians, Israelis, Arabs, Muslims and Jews equally,” said McKinney, who called for a cease-fire. “All religious and ethnic groups have to be respected equally.” Johnson, who has received major support from Jewish groups and donors, said that Israel has the right to exist and to protect itself.

“They are doing more than throwing stones,” Johnson said specifically of Hezbollah, which is fighting out of Lebanon. “They are hurling missiles.” Johnson went on to call McKinney a liar for claims that she is employing 500 workers in a new work program and for the laundry list of money that she said she has brought to the Fourth District during her tenure in the House.

“There is no way she has the ability to work with members of Congress to get all of these grandiose things done that she listed,” Johnson said. Countered McKinney: “I have brought so much money to DeKalb County that Johnson didn’t even spend it.” In a freewheeling debate that had both candidates cutting each other off several times, and supporters for both sides moaning in disapproval at some of their opponents’ questions, the debate was less formal than Monday’s session.

Although it is still a Democratic primary, McKinney continued to paint Johnson with a Republican brush. “The special interest for me is the people,” McKinney said. “In 2002 the Republicans had a scheme and that scheme was to take over Georgia. Mr. Johnson is part of that Republican scheme. He is taking money from Republicans. Taking votes from Republicans. He is asking Republicans to interfere in a Democratic primary.”

Johnson said he has never been a tool of special interests. “I am my own man,” Johnson said. “In the primary, it was the Democrats that voted for me.” The candidates also talked about their difference, most of it pointing directly to style.

“We differ more in terms of style more than issues,” Johnson said. “My style is not controversial or confrontational. But that does not mean that I will not fight for what I believe in. I just don’t want to create headlines to get my movie career going.” McKinney countered that the truth was not controversial, “but telling the truth always is.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
