I have goosebumps...good for you guys. This lady and the organizers are nothing but racists, including all of their supporters. I won't even give them the excuse of being misinformed because we all have the duty to be educated. Who are they to tell the Libyan people 'what's best for them?' The girl in the back was awesome, 'there is a DIFFERENCE between being anti-intervention and pro-Gaddafi.' Amen, indeed. Don't even get me started about him quoting the Quran and the civil rights movement.....

This lady should be more cautious, glorifying war crimes and war criminals is an offense in many jurisdictions, and what she is saying is now closely monitored.

@ImazighenLibya - And that my friend is a Democrazy. Read your words. If you don't get it then sanity has seriously died.

it seems like they were upset because they felt she was aligning herself with momar gadafi, and was supporting him. But she was just saying that she didnt want the U.S to be bombing Libya. How were Gaddaffi's children responsible for his decisions? They were just children. The U.S's attack that caused their deaths should be considered a war crime, it was terrible. And somehow, President Obama gets awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.... i agree with Mckinny; attacking Libya was wrong.

Cynthia McKinney is a great woman with more balls than most men! I hope she gets a seat in the house!

accessory to murder

[Jeannetteelizabeth]

She is so uneducated, "missiling is not a word" and Gadaffi was killing his people, and she would have us stand and watch? Also she goes to Libya and gives Gadaffi her approval. She is not human. She seeks attention and is now killing innocent people by lining herself with this murderer.She need to go to jail too.

The same people who are against the intervention would also be crying how terrible the west was for NOT intervening once they saw the effects of "leaving it to the Libyan people to resolve themselves"

Cynthia McKinney is a thoroughly deceptive woman, don't buy her lies.

[Ashennib]

Not sure who is worse Gaddafi or Cynthia McKenney. They both lie, promote murder, delusional, play the racist card, etc. I attended this event, I can't believe there were idiots cheering for her and believe this garbage from McKenney and Akhbar (Nation of Islam). She and Akhbar need to find a real job soon because funding from Gaddafi is running out. The people of Libya have spoken; freedom, democracy, no more dictatorship, no more murder, no more Gaddafi.

They think everyone who is against the US is good. The essence of stupidity. To hate their own country so much that they will praise a murder who has refused for 40+ years to build civil society and democracy. Gaddafi has even murdered Americans and they don't care.
