CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCKHEAD :

McKinney's father next on Jewish "hit list" (Barbara Ferguson, 9/07/02, Arab News)

First, right-wing American Jews went after US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Now they've set their sights on her father, 30-year Georgia state representative Billy McKinney, as their next target.

McKinney, 75, has become the focus of the Atlanta-area Jewish community after his most recent criticism of Jews, which resulted in skyrocketing donations for his challenger's campaign.

The problem? When he was asked about his daughter's disappointing campaign the day before her defeat in the Aug. 20 primary, McKinney told a television interviewer: "Jews have bought everybody." When asked to further explain his daughter's political difficulties, he said: "Jews. J-E-W-S."

Here's to the day when "right-wing American Jews" is redundant. Posted by Orrin Judd at September 7, 2002 1:20 PM
