It seems that ousted US Rep Cynthia “checkpoint” McKinney wasn’t satisfied with losing her bid for the presidency (green party), she has decided to take her loony show on the road….err sorta.

In a move that only rivals Gilligan’s Islands 3 hour cruise, she decided to blow past an Israeli navel blockade in her yacht.

Move over, Hanoi Jane Fonda. Jihad Cindy McKinney is sailing to Gaza to deliver medical supplies to Hamas.

Is it a one-way ticket? We can only hope. Via the AJC:

Former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is a high-profile member of a boatload of activists that set sail Monday from Cyprus to deliver medicine to war-torn Gaza.

McKinney, who ran as the Green Party candidate for president, sees the voyage as a humanitarian mission, said her father, former Georgia state Rep. Billy McKinney.

“Her mother did not want her to go,” he said, referring to concerns at home for her safety. “But I think that certain people have missions in life and you can’t deter them.”

The activists, organized by the Free Gaza Group, said their 66-foot yacht called “SS Dignity” would defy an Israeli blockade of Gaza and ferry 16 activists and three tons of Cypriot-donated supplies. The supplies are intended to help treat the wounded from Israeli bombings against targets in Gaza, in retaliation for rocket fire aimed at civilians in southern Israeli towns.

Michelle notes her ties to Islamic donors, so her sympathy to Hamas is understandable.

But honestly, did she really think her 66 foot yacht could defy a blockade? 

Apparently….

Carl in Jerusalem reports that the S.S. Moonbat has been turned back by the Israeli Navy…

The yacht carrying former US Congresscritter and Green Party Presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney tried to outmaneuver an Israeli navy gunboat off Gaza Tuesday morning. The yacht rammed into the Israeli gunboat, which then turned it around and sent it back to Cyprus.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said the boat ignored an Israeli radio order to turn back early Tuesday. He said the boat tried to outmaneuver the navy ship and crashed into it, lightly damaging both vessels. The navy then escorted the boat to the territorial waters of Cyprus.

Of course, she and her cohorts have a different spin.

Protest boat organizer Derek Graham said the Israeli ship “rammed” the protest boat.

If they had actually rammed her, then I would guess the odds pretty strong her boat would have been sunk, not damaged. 

This is just like when she assaulted the cop trying to stop her from violating a security check point.  As then, she figures she can go anywhere and do anything she wants.  This time she tried to assault a patrol boat.

What is it with this woman and roadblocks?

Any way, as the title says, the Israeli Navy committed a terrible outrage.

They should have sunk her and done us all a favor.  But I imagine that would have been somehow considered racist…though I expect the race card anytime now anyway.  It is part of her normal patter of behavior:  Blow a checkpoint, assault those stopping you, and claim it’s racist.
