Cynthia McKinney, Boston Marathon Truther

[hack89]

Last edited Wed Apr 17, 2013, 07:34 AM - Edit history (1)

We have former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney insinuating that the Boston Police Department is involved with this attack.

The pattern is becoming too, too familiar.So, Boston cops were having a "bomb squad drill" on the same day as... fb.me/1JHrFKCc9

What a shock.

[Kelvin Mace]

1. The woman is and desparate for attention and relevance

[undeterred]

2. oh, thats not good

[Renew Deal]

3. Crazy people are crazy

Same as Alex Jones and plenty of others. 9/11 truthers are Newtown truthers are Boston truthers.

[undeterred]

30. Hardly.

The 9/11 truth movement is based on a lot of evidence that doesn't square with the official story in many significant ways.

The Boston bombing doesn't even have an official story yet.

[Renew Deal]

59. Yup, got it

[Llewlladdwr]

112. Yes, 9/11 truthers are much, much truthier than other truthers.

[undeterred]

113. And some people believe its wrong to question authority of any kind.

[NightWatcher]

4. the bomb squad was working a huge event looking for bombs as they do at every event

[FreeState]

14. Huge events are also a very good place for training

There is a reason schools do fire drills when the students are at school. Police use big events for training for the same reason.

[slackmaster]

5. Paging Paul Simon...

[WI_DEM]

6. Well, it might get her some copy on page 14

[appacom]

7. McKinney has been such a disappointment. The right doesn't have a corner on the crazy market.

[alp227]

58. Yep, she seems to be the liberal Michele Bachmann. N/t

[NoPasaran]

105. The difference is Bachmann is a congressperson

McKinney is just a crackpot.

[alp227]

115. McKinney served in Congress as a democrat from the 90s to about 2007. N/t

[NoPasaran]

133. But now she's Nowheresvilles

[dsc]

137. and she lost in a primary

a richly deserved one it should be stated.

[fujiyama]

138. And that right there shows the big difference between the parties

Democrats usually remove their crazy lunatics in the primary. I can't think of anyone nearly as downright bat-shit crazy on the Democrat side currently serving in the House or the Senate as say Bachmann and Goehmert.

In the GOP, the crazy ones run for president - and actually have a shot at winning the nomination (Santorum held on for a while and even Bachmann was running strong at first) or run for the Senate and get nominated (Angle, O'Donnel, etc) usually going on to defeat in the general election.

[Freddie Stubbs]

8. More of her "speaking truth to power"

[still_one]

9. assuming the link, (alex-jones), is accurate, she was and is a jerk either way

[hack89]

12. The link is not to an Alex Jones site

The story slams Alex Jones too.

[still_one]

21. Sorry, I just saw Alex Jones, in the link, and like the MSM, I assumed, wrong of course. Thanks

[MrBig]

10. Not surprised

It's embarrassing that she is associated with the left wing movement.

[Rex]

11. .

[msanthrope]

13. Green Party Loon. nt

[undeterred]

31. displaced democratic loon

[msanthrope]

32. No--Green Party Presidential Candidate, 2008. nt

[undeterred]

88. She was a Democratic congresswoman for 6 terms in the House of Representatives before that.

[msanthrope]

142. 'Til we primaried her. Now she's Green....

and I remember well her last day on the floor. she introduced a resolution calling for the release of the secret CIA files on the Tupac assassination. can't get more nuts than that.

[leftynyc]

15. That woman is an embarrassment

Anyone who supports her should have their head examined.

[Chan790]

16. Of course she is.

She's a goddamned crank. Never met a conspiracy she couldn't embrace or a governmental authority she wouldn't blame for her own obvious mental-infirmity.

I find it's best to ignore people like Cynthia McKinney. They go away if nobody pays them any attention...but if you give them 30 seconds of your attention, it lends credibility and allows others to be sucked into their bullshittery.

[MrMickeysMom]

17. So, here's a thought....

What if it WAS a false flag operation?

[cali]

19. here's another thought: What if the moon landing really was faked?

sick, stupid, ugly shit is what the false flag crap is.

[MrMickeysMom]

116. I did not say it was...

Did you get that no one knows what it was, or didn't you?

No, you didn't.

[hack89]

20. Then find some evidence.

before you accuse the city of Boston of conspiring to kill their own citizens.

[MrMickeysMom]

117. I don't acuse anyone of anything...

But, somehow you get from that this I accuse the city of Boston this?

[hack89]

126. You suggested that we consider the posiblity of a false flag operation

which means you are suggesting we consider that the US government and/or the city leaders of Boston conspired to kill their own citizens.

[MrMickeysMom]

131. See post #123...

... because that is not what I'm suggesting at all.

[hack89]

139. Go find some evidence. nt

[MrMickeysMom]

145. The point couldn't have been more in front of your face...

Indeed... find evidence, and don't label persons, unless of course, you like that sort of thing. This thread sure did...

[Arkana]

23. I think you should go to Mass General Hospital and pose this question

to the victims.

Or perhaps call up some of the first responders. I'm sure they'd love to hear more about chemtrails and about how the gummint is trying to kill you by putting fluoride in your water.

[MrMickeysMom]

118. Who said it was...

God, you people are amazing...

NObody knows... and your trigger finger is to attack anyone who says to consider anything at this point.

This is interesting... Got any more caustic comments when a someone poses to consider anything at this point?

[Arkana]

134. Yes--how about this?

You sound like a paranoid, delusional Alex Jones conspiracy nut. This was a horrendous tragedy and you are looking for ways to blame the city of Boston for secretly conspiring to kill its own citizens. You are human garbage for thinking this and I really don't give two shits if this post gets deleted, because it's the god's honest truth. How's about that? Am I in the ballpark there?

[MrMickeysMom]

146. Your words speak for the kind of person you are, too...

I have too little time on my hands to alert you. I'll just let others see your words.

[geek tragedy]

27. Cynthia McKinney would still be a nutjob, nt

[slackmaster]

63. Alex Jones said it was a false flag operation

Enough said.

[MrMickeysMom]

119. He's a jerk...

So, anyone who suggests a false flag (regardless of who is behind it) is the same?

That has nothing to do with the question I put forth. Put the foam back in your mouth, please.

[slackmaster]

121. Pretty much. Or a wacko. How can something be a false flag operation if nobody claims credit...

...and there is no obvious apparent motive?

[MrMickeysMom]

123. The definition that I found (Wiki) for FFO...

"Covert military or paramilitary operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities may be described as being carried out under a false flag or black flag. Operations carried during peace-time by civilian organisation, as well as covert government agencies, may by extension be called false flag operations if they seek to hide the real organisation behind an operation."

So, this doesn't mean it's Boston and it doesn't mean it's "our government" ... In fact, are a lot of covert and paramilitary operations out there who might well pretend to hide their intention with the means to scare the shit out of more Americans.

Of course, if I distrusted a rouge branch of the CIA, which I could, then why wouldn't this be a possibility, regardless of the probability.

The thing that makes me cluck my tongue when reading the reactions to OPs such as this one is how quickly everyone rushes to condemn an opinion they see on Twitter or other social media.

We had better consider lots of things before throwing stones at the comments made from the likes of those like McKinney, regardless of what you may think of her.

[slackmaster]

124. Yes. A key element for an FFO is an APPARENT actor, which the Boston Marathon bombing lacks.

At least so far.

[MrMickeysMom]

132. Isn't that the point...

We have nothing so far?

Quite right.

[Brickbat]

72. What if monkeys flew out of your BUTT?

[MrMickeysMom]

120. You point?

Oh, excuse me... you have none.

[octothorpe]

93. What if it never happened and those are all paid crisis actors?

What if....

[MrMickeysMom]

122. You can what if anything at this point...

Yet, every single comment was fully loaded with hate over a tweet that none of you may have understood. In fact NOBODY understands anything at this point.

The point is to consider everything

Amazing... all of you wouldn't have.

[Dorian Gray]

94. What if

peanut butter never actually was dropped into a big pile of chocolate? Bye Bye Reeses!

[Sissyk]

107. And what a shame that would be!

My fav! lol

[zappaman]

127. Only one response needed for this horse shit.

[onenote]

141. what if you're the one responsible and are jerking us around?

I mean if we're going to play "what if", let's play.

[Arkana]

18. Anyone who still defends this lady should have their head examined.

There's a reason she got primaried by Hank Johnson--because Hank Johnson wasn't a fucking crank.

[Rex]

22. I did at one time.

I don't know what happened to her. She seems to have totally lost it. She might as well join Alex Jones in the padded cage.

[geek tragedy]

26. She's always been nuts. When she accused Al Gore of being a racist

should have been a tip-off.

[tammywammy]

24. What a whack-a-doodle n/t

[geek tragedy]

25. I remember how it used to be verboten to disrespect St. Cynthia

around here.

She was nuts then, is nuts now.

[cali]

28. lol. true. man, there were some epic McKinney threads.

[geek tragedy]

29. There was the slugging of the cop, the "J-E-W-S" issues

and of course this:

[cali]

36. yes indeed. but she sure did have a coterie of devotees on DU

[geek tragedy]

37. Back when this was a near-majority truther site. nt

[msanthrope]

40. My favorite is the CIA involvment in the killing of Tupac. nt

[geek tragedy]

43. Or her joining the X-Men of Crazy

On September 10, 2008, McKinney joined a press conference held by third-party and independent candidates, along with Ralph Nader, Chuck Baldwin, and initiator Ron Paul.[72] The participants agreed on four basic principles:

[msanthrope]

45. What is her superpower, though? nt

[geek tragedy]

47. The ability to see a CIA conspiracy in any event under the sun. nt

[msanthrope]

49. I'll bet her costume has a lot of tinfoil on it. nt

[geek tragedy]

54. Greenfoil, nt

[geek tragedy]

34. This was one of the more epic ones

[slackmaster]

64. Yes, on DU2. I had several posts zapped for telling the truth about her.

[geek tragedy]

65. She was the left's Michelle Bachmann.

Hopefully a similar future awaits that loon.

[Eleanors38]

69. The reason she got away with it here is...

...she was for gun-controls/bans.

[geek tragedy]

75. That, and a lot of people agreed with every crazy

thing she said.

[Eleanors38]

81. I had no regrets when she left the Beltway. Pity for those living where she went.

[G_j]

90. I think it more her confronting Rumsfeld about

the trillion plus dollars the Pentagon could not account for, and her desire to impeach Bush. What a shame no "sane" reps were up to either, because both actions were clearly warranted.


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2886228

[Shankapotomus]

33. She could be right

I think we should back her up on this and encourage the discussion.

[geek tragedy]

35. Awesome advice. You first.

And last.

[cali]

38. .....

[Shankapotomus]

73. I need to use the sarcasm icon more..

sorry

[geek tragedy]

76. Yes. McKinney threads are a mandatory sarcasm disclosure zone. nt

[Dorian Gray]

96. Heh

I thought you were serious at first, too! Glad I was wrong!

[Rex]

39. Why? What is it that makes you agree with her?

nt.

[name not needed]

52. Crystal meth.

[Rex]

53. .

[Bobbie Jo]

136. lol

[Shankapotomus]

71. I need to use the sarcasm icon more..

Sorry...

[premium]

42. You forgot this:

Unless you're serious, in which case, you forgot this:

[Shankapotomus]

74. Thanks...no not serious

I need to use the sarcasm icon more..sorry

[premium]

143. No problemo.

I kinda thought that you weren't serious, but around here, you never know.

[MrBig]

44. Hahaha, reminds me of the Simpsons

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

[Shankapotomus]

77. I need to use the sarcasm icon more..

Hope I didn't offend...you seemed to get it, though...thanks.

[MrBig]

87. I wasn't 100% sure

But I'm glad to know for sure.

Definitely well played!

[MrSlayer]

56. Was there a bomb squad drill or not?

That seems to be the pertinent question. Others are saying it too and not just Alex Jones. People that were there.

Now, were they saying it was a drill to keep people from panicking as they were searching for a threat they were warned about?

Or was it just a coincidence?

Or were they indeed false flagging?

Or did this not happen at all?

Simply dismissing someone as crazy when there were multiple people saying this, eyewitnesses, is how they always get away with this type of stuff.

Can we at least find out if there were these drills or announcements of them before we dismiss this out of hand?

[cali]

60. seriously? OK. I can find NO credible source saying that there was a bomb squd drill

but even if there was, so what? It's crazy and flat out fucked up and vile to imply that this was a false flag operation.

It's just insane drivel.

Dismissed. Out of hand. and fuck the false flag pieces of shite.

[ornotna]

144. According to some there was training going on

"At the starting line this morning, they had bomb sniffing dogs and the bomb squad out there," he said. "They kept announcing to runners not to be alarmed, that they were running a training exercise."

http://blog.al.com/live/2013/04/boston_marathon_explosion_univ.html

[geek tragedy]

61. Only fringe whackadoodles are making anything of the 'bomb drill' claim.

http://www.bing.com/search?q=%22bomb+drill%22+boston+marathon&qs=n&form=QBRE&pq=%22bomb+drill%22+boston+marathon&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk=&adlt=strict


Take that shit somewhere else.

This is not 'crazy rumor I heard on the Internetunderground."

P.S. Stop getting your information from Alex Jones and other crazy fraudsters.

[MrSlayer]

91. Lol! No, no. I don't listen to Alex Jones.

I saw a news interview yesterday with a college professor or coach or some such that was on site and saying there were announcements about drills and bomb sniffing dogs and the like.

But it seems to have been yanked from the Internet.

I just wanted to know if these announcements happened. No need to get so upset over it.

With all the bullshit the government has done over the years, I don't see how one doesn't ask some questions. They hardly have clean hands.

[geek tragedy]

92. Questions should be intelligent. nt

[MrSlayer]

95. I've always heard that there's no such thing as a dumb question.

And I don't think it's unreasonable to ask if anyone else heard these announcements that may or may not have happened.

Why is it so wrong to ask? Again, considering how often the government and its owners have lied to us.

[geek tragedy]

98. Whoever told you there was no such thing as a dumb question

lied.

Where there exists no logical reason to think the government was responsible for planting the devices, yes it's stupid to ask whether they did it.

Just like it would be stupid to ask if it was Charlie Sheen.

[MrSlayer]

111. Let's see who gets the blame and what actions are taken afterward.

Those things will be telling.

Personally, I'm betting on a RW militia group but there's no reason to leave any stone unturned.

[Shankapotomus]

78. I need to use the sarcasm icon more..

Sorry...too subtle snarkism, I guess.

[Cali_Democrat]

41. How did youfind this article? The author is a conservative HACK. Surfing Repub websites, eh?

Look at the author:

Matt Vespa

Matt Vespa is a conservative blogger living in Virginia. He's also the former Executive Director of the Dauphin County Republican Committ...

Nice try.

[cali]

46. what does that matter? She tweeted the lunacy shit.

[Cali_Democrat]

50. Perhaps a direct quote of the tweet would suffice rather than giving traffic to cons

it's also an indication that the OP like to cruise these sites or sites that link to cons. Par for the course.

I expect nothing less.

[SidDithers]

84. Right-wing wesites, like Fox?...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022686196

Sid

[Cali_Democrat]

85. Local Fox affiliates are not the same as Fox News channel

Or actual Republicans. You should know that.

[SidDithers]

86. If it makes you feel better, you keep telling yourself that...nt

Sid

[premium]

51. Does this mean it's not true? nt.

[SidDithers]

62. McKinney links to naturalnews in her tweet...

run by right-wing libertarian loon Mike Adams.

Seems Ms. McKinney is the one surfing Repub websites.

Sid

[hack89]

66. Care to address McKinney's tweet?

didn't think so.

[Cali_Democrat]

67. Sure

She's a nut...and you link to Republicans.

[Eleanors38]

79. Sometimes...

When one find some embarrassing crap which doesn't fit MSM narrative, you have to find it where you can. Says a lot about MSM, doesn't it? But you can deny she said it all you want, it's still a free country.

[G_j]

70. don't know about this source but it shows B Globe tweets

http://leaksource.wordpress.com/2013/04/15/was-boston-bomb-squad-running-controlled-explosion-on-same-day-as-marathon-blasts/

[geek tragedy]

80. The Globe tweets show that the bomb squad became

active after the bombs went off.

Somehow this means something to crazy people on the Internet.

[SidDithers]

48. That loony train left the station a long time ago...

Hard to top the '5000 people executed and dumped in the swamps of Louisiana during Katrina' level of crazy, but this one might just do it.



What's truly funny, tho, is the link in her tweet goes to naturalnews.



Sid

[G_j]

68. pretty off the wall stuff, I can sense the absolute glee here

so lets rename the thread "I love to hate McKinney!"

[Common Sense Party]

100. How about we rename it: "I can't believe we used to love this lunatic?"

[one_voice]

82. Doesn't she blog...

write for that rag blackagendareport? Yeah, I'm pretty sure she does. Not surprised.

She's a frickin' fruit loop.

[Ter]

83. Disagree, but still wish she was in Congress

Congress was more fun when it had one far left nut (her), one far right nut (Helen Chenoweth), and one libertarian nut (Ron Paul). Now, it has none to represent the conspiracy sides.

[geek tragedy]

89. Michelle Bachmann and Louie Gohmert, nt

[Ter]

101. Never heard of Golmert

Who is he? Bachmann is not what I would call an ultra-right conspiracy nut. Helen Chenoweth talked about black government helicopters, and UN taking over all the time. Bachmann is just nuts in a different said. She's not ultra-right (but very conservative) in the same sense that Ted Kennedy was not ultra-left, despite what Freepers said.

Bob Dornan was up there though.

[geek tragedy]

102. Bachmann is an anti-vaxxer and thinks that

all Democrats in Congress should be forced to testify before a modern day HUAC.

Gohmert is possibly the dumbest human being on the planet.

[Bucky]

97. What pattern? How many terror attacks is she blaming on US police departments?

I believe she and Alex Jones are a match made in heaven. Well, not heaven; more like a match made in Ringling Brothers

[WinkyDink]

104. Cheney's NORAD drill, 9/11/01. London's drill, 7/7/05.

99. And Massachussetts state prisoners were the ones who were blown up

along the marathon route, I suppose?

Bat guano crazy.

[tritsofme]

103. Sounds like she's doing the same as always. Still batshit crazy.

[etherealtruth]

106. This does not surprise me ...

... I did not expect her to suddenly recover from the "bat shit crazy"

[JI7]

108. Cynthia McKinney for President

hahhaha

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

130. of Dumbfuckistan

Rand Paul can be her veep

[jessie04]

109. Life was so good when that idiot got lost.

Maybe she'll disappear again.

Damn, shes stupid.

[2ndAmForComputers]

114. With so much right-wing idiocy every day, from so many idiots...

...it must be a relief to finally be able to find a loon who is a left-winger, innit?

[backscatter712]

125. What is with these fucking troofers? n/t

[greyl]

128. What do you think about swapping out that right wing link?

https://twitter.com/cynthiamckinney/status/323938570173833216

[RZM]

135. No way

The link mentions Alex Jones' obsession with gay sea creatures and shrimp suicides.

People need to aware of these troubling developments.

[hack89]

140. Done. nt

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

129. McKinney and fellow Alex Jones-er Naomi Wolfe are massive tools

and can go join the GOP for all I care.
