Are Violent, Anti-American Regimes Funding Cynthia McKinney’s Travels Abroad?

Bill OReilly Asks How Cynthia McKinney Paid for Iran, Libya Trips Lately, there’s been no shortage of curious commentary coming from former Georgia congresswoman and 2008 Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney.

During her recent exploits to nations that are less-than-friendly to the United States, McKinney has claimed that JFK, Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were assassinated by the U.S. government, she has called Libya a better place to live than the United States (because of its free education) and has generally lamented American governance.

But, as McKinney travels to Iran, Libya and other nations that stand firmly opposed to American interests, one wonders: Who’s funding these expensive expeditions?

Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” decided to tackle this important question, so producer Jesse Watters tracked McKinney and her associates down and asked where the monies were coming from. While she was vague in her explanation, Watters has a theory that may cause some angst: The trips are being paid for by violent, anti-American regimes. Watch a Fox News segment on this situation, below:

Also, watch McKinney’s PressTV appearance back in May. While on her trip to attend an anti-terrorism conference in Iran, she defended the Middle Eastern nation and praised the conference’s push for peace:

The little cretinous woman standing next to McKinney is named Sara Flounders can be seen on the Communist TV networks in NYC, and spewing the same rhetoric. I told her to get out of America if is she hates this country so much. These people have no motive other than crap on the American flag and claim the US engages in imperialism and colonialism. They love Gaddafi and Iran. These hippie mongrels should be shot for treason.

Georgia should be so, so proud of electing this person. I, for one, would be willing to chip in to buy her a one-way ticket to Iran or Libya or any other misogynist country that she thinks is so much better than the US. Let her live in Iran for a while to see how wonderful it is, then let her flap her big yapper about how they need to change. That would last what?… 30 seconds?

  The good folks back in Georgia have repented for their dumb mistake by voting her out. She had planed on retiring in her old age from politics and no one wanted a loser here in the USA, so she had to go into enemy territory to find an audiance – one that would praise her when garbage came from her mouth.

  You have to look very close at the district that elected her. All, I mean all, of the education officials of that district and most of the teachers are up to their ears in a scandal. They are changing test scores to insure the dimmest bulbs in the box graduate with honors. These are her voters. They are also the highest percentage of welfare recipients in the state or maybe even in the region. She represents those who think whites owe them anything they want. She is scamming the game to the max.

  That’s strange… I just watched 70 refugees (many of whom were from Iran) standing out in the hot sun waiting to recieve food donations from a local NGO because they are starving and unable to feed their families. Yet while talking to them they all expressed their appreciation for the food and the opportunity to make a new life in the USA. That doesn’t sound like Iran is a better place to live than the US. You don’t see American refugees in Iran or Libya loving the new change in life…

They’re either stupid or did it on purpose for attention, either way let Iran keep them. We’ll give them McKinney for a couple kids that like soccer or something.

  Most people in GA extremely dislike this woman and many of us say she should move to one of these countries that is “better” than the US. As for human rights the US does more than any theocratic government will ever do. Also I see many people wondering what the punishment for treason is and it is hanging until death…

  @ kdzndogdad – Sadly this pathetic excuse for an American comes from the district I live in. While I understand and partially agree with your jokes about us, one must understand that the 4th district in Ga is a total “minority district”. Just look at the baffoon we sent up there after her, Hank Johnson. There are several of us on the outskirts of this district that try every election year to educate the electorate, but sadly to no avail. It’s all about color here. Which is beyond sad. If you have any ideas (besides moving) on how to fix this problem? I would love to hear them!

  and it appears as long as they pay her way, she’ll go do and say anything.
  Remember when she was stopped at the Capital by a security guard for not showing her credentials? Instead of being polite, she reamed him out for not knowing who she was? What a self important turd.

Although there has been zero proof she has done anything wrong, you have to admit there are plenty of questions being asked. And they are being asked by some famous celebrities.

Where there is smoke, there are probably right-thinking people fanning the flames of what could be a real firestorm. Their work should not go unnoticed. We should get Congress to spend some real taxpayer Money to fully and relentlessly investigate these citizens once and for all, fro as long as it takes for some wrongdoing to appear.

By the way, I think it’s shoddy for Americans to wear tie-died tee shirts when traveling overseas, especially for black women who resemble Sheila Jackson Leigh. It embarrasses the nation for well to do foreign people to possibly think a Texas Congresswoman is a wolf in cheap clothing.
