Hank Johnson's long rap sheet.

[plasticsundance]

Aug. 1, 2006 -- It appears that Hank Johnson, Rep. Cynthia McKinney's so-called "Democratic" opponent in the August 8 primary in the Georgia Fourth District, has more in common with Republicans than merely his acquiescence to the Bush-Cheney party line on the Middle East. Johnson also has quite a rap sheet that includes judgments, tax liens, lawsuits, property seizures, and ethics complaints.

A certain "progressive" and "Democratic" web site was very quick to endorse Johnson. It appears that in addition to approving Johnson's overt GOP support, the web site in question shares something else in common with Johnson: the taint of financial impropriety (birds of a feather do flock together).

1. Saw The Commentator On "Situation Room"

Not Wolfie - the fat, unhealthy looking one - refer to McKinney as "degraced." Aren't you so glad we have CNN up in Atlanta to tell all of us poor, dumb Georgia voters who deserves to represent us?

2. He's just a "token black man" that the GOP and conservative Dems

want to use to unseat Cynthia.

I know that sounds racist, but it's the people running him for office who are using such a racist tactic. He's unintelligent, unimpressive, and has no connection to his distrct whatsoever.

3. They're always pulling dirty tactics with McKinney

Remember when they had Republicans voting in her previous primary just to oust her. It will come back to bite them in the ass. It always does. Georgia is a beutiful state with many polite people, but I'm really getting fed up living in Georgia with their ultra-Conservative bullshit. Many in GA think blue laws are nation wide.
