A letter to the Editor of the Los Angeles Times
on Ms. McKinney
Friday, April 7, 2006
Dear Editor:
It is amazing that the media are spending so much time on the mistreatment of Congresswoman McKinney by a guard at the White House.
While she may have overreacted, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and thousands of American soldiers have not died or been permanently maimed for life because of her possible overreaction. She did not leak classified material, she did not put a FEMALE CIA operative at risk, by ordering disclosure of her name to the press because her husband publicly disagreed with the Administration on the Niger "yellow cake" issue (and the Bush and his ilk appeared to have lied on that issue as well), she did not lie to the American people to force them into a war that is draining the American Treasury and escalating the deficit to unbelievable mindboggling levels, and she has not engaged in criminal activity of the sort that DeLay and Libby have been indicted for. When Frist stated that she lacked the proper temperament to be a public official, I thought he should be talking about the president.
There is no doubt in my mind that if Bush and the Republicans are ever dumped by the American people, this chapter will go down in history as one of the darkest periods in this country's history. Thus, it appears that the vicious attacks on McKinney -- an otherwise incredibly courageous and principled legislator -is just another press attempt to divert the American public from the real issues of the day. That McKinney is being attacked even as a black woman was gang raped by three young men from the wealthy class should be no surprise, given the historical mistreatment and oppression of black women in our society.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
