"About 513,000 results"

Cynthia McKinney was the presidential nominee of the US Green Party in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Elections. A former member of Congress from Georgia, she has had a notable career of giving left wing activists a bad name, in no small part because she's a conspiracy nut.

She was first elected in 1992 but lost her seat ten years later. Critics charged that her undoing came from claiming Bush knew 9/11 would happen but did nothing and getting documents released about the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, but her father Bill blamed it on somebody else. She got her seat back in 2004 but lost it again when she slugged a Capitol police officer who attempted to stop her from going into a restricted area of the Capitol because he could not see her credentials.
[edit] 911 prior knowledge statement

Quoting from journalist Greg Palast: The McKinney "quote" was, indeed, all over the place: in the Washington Post, National Public Radio, and needless to say, all the other metropolitan dailies - everywhere but in Congresswoman McKinney's mouth. Nor was it in the Congressional Record, nor in any recorded talk, nor on her Website, nor in any of her radio talks. Here's the Congresswoman's statement from the record:

"George Bush had no prior knowledge of the plan to attack the World Trade Center on September 11."
