Cynthia McKinney: Increase the Peace

We can always count on Congresswomen Cynthia McKinney to work for racial reconciliation and increased understanding amongst all peoples. I was certainly moved by Greg Palast's blog post for Cynthia's campaign website:

The good ol' boy cracker-crats of the Republican party are having themselves a regular hootenanny over allegations that congresswoman Cynthia McKinney landed a punch on a security guard at the Capitol.

I did a double-take when I first read that. Cracker-crats??? Does Greg even realize that he is a cracker?

Is dropping the epithet "cracker" the new black? (no pun intended) :)

Sometimes I wonder if there isn't some super-secretive group like the Trilateral Commission that Cynthia McKinney has sold her soul to that orders her to make nonsensical comments and publicize her campaign with articles like this just for the laughs. I think at some point McKinney will have to be added to the pantheon of Onion greats like Smoove B or Herbert Kornfeld. We just can't waste all this great comic material.
