Does Cynthia McKinney live in poverty?

[Telly Savalas]

1 in 6 American children do.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

1. Oh jeez .......

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[gatorboy]

2. As they say in Fargo:

What the heck ya mean???

[Telly Savalas]

33. No fair!

You'd have done that if the thread title was "I like baseball."

[MissB]

3. I've been searching for that bunny/pancake picture.

Perhaps someone will be kind enough to provide it.

[htuttle]

4. I completely agree

[bemildred]

8. Thanks, I saved that. nt

[sleipnir]

10. Funny pic...but could you please explain...

I think I understand, but is there a specific reference thread that I missed?

[htuttle]

13. Nope

It's not a reference to anything. That's the point.

[MissB]

18. No specific thread.

Sometimes it has a title in the pic that says something to the effect "I have no idea what you are talking about so here is a bunny with a pancake on its head"

[Richard Steele]

27. It's just an oft-used comment here....

It's become well-known enough that the picture alone
conveys the message to many of us.

It is, "As long as I have no idea what you are talking about,
here's a bunny with a pancake on its head".

I myself have replaced the pancake bunny with Enoch Powell on a pogo stick (see below)
but it hasn't really caught on, LOL!

[MissB]

19. Thank you so very much.

:D

[Richard Steele]

6. The bunny is cool, but I like to be different, Soooo:

[MissB]

21. Not bad at all.

:D

[ScreamingMeemie]

Does it matter in this instance....

?

***Disclaimer: Starving children always matter...but that is something for you to stick around Mr Bush's neck...

[bullimiami]

5. whats your point? she has a very good government job.

165,000 / year and exceptional benefits.

[Telly Savalas]

16. My point is that this idiotic fucking "debate" over McKinney

is a huge distraction from our real problems.

That's my point.

[radwriter0555]

34. unwarranted harrassement of a fine, upstanding liberal who champions the

causes of the liberal democrats IS A REAL PROBLEM.

It's merely another brick in the wall.

[Berserker]

7. ummmm

[Telly Savalas]

22. That's what I'm sayin'

All these dumb fucking McKinney threads when we have real problems...like child poverty.

[TAPat]

9. Only 1 in 6?

Seems a little low...

[Fleshdancer]

11. I agree that the subject should be changed to real problems

and poverty is a far more serious thing to discuss rather than the McKinney speculation.

[Gormy Cuss]

12. Does Tom DeLay live in poverty?

1 in 6 American children do.

[Jigarotta]

15. now i'm kinda curious to know what bracket Savalas is in. n/t

[Telly Savalas]

26. I'm in the fucking bracket that thinks child poverty is more important

that this stupid bullshit surrounding Rep. McKinney.

But I guess since liberalism is dying even at DU that puts me in the goddamn minority.

[Jigarotta]

28. why are you contributing to this b/s then

by making new threads when there are plenty of existing McKinney ones, and possibly moving a child poverty one off the page?

[Telly Savalas]

30. This is a thread about child poverty.

On edit: If I left McKinney's name out of it, you know it would have sank like a rock.

[Jigarotta]

31. you have to work on your headline delivery a bit. nt

[Telly Savalas]

32. As I said. If I left her name out of it, it'd sink like a rock.

[mondo joe]

35. And if we were posting about poverty instead of McKinney the

effect on poverty would be.....?

[Telly Savalas]

36. So why not rid this discussion forum of talk of all progressive politics?

Just make it a DC gossip corner.

You're right. Talking about politics doesn't accomplish anything.

[mondo joe]

38. I'm not into limiting what others can talk about. That's your deal.

I say DU members should talk about what DU members want to talk about.

Now please answer my question.

[Jigarotta]

37. I see what you mean.

snort snapper stories that are fed to us to frenzy and feed on overtake many more worthwhile issues. I've seen it happen here for a long time, but I suppose it's like that on any forum.

[Telly Savalas]

24. Well let's talk about Tom Delay then

Since unlike McKinney, that asshole is fucking responsible for it.

[Gormy Cuss]

29. Just trying to move the threads back to your point

And DeLay is one of the people with lots of responsibility for it.

[oasis]

14. And to think, I got on the internet to escape Sally Struthers.

[bemildred]

20. LOL.

:thumbsup:

[Telly Savalas]

23. There is no escaping Sally Struthers!

[bemildred]

17. Indeed, and if she struck the starving children, she should be arrested.

No one should be above the law. If I struck the starving children, I'd be arrested, and so should she.
:rofl::rofl:

[incapsulated]

25. oh YEAH? I heard those skinny brats had it coming!

Free Cynthia!!!
