A dangerous half-truth is being bandied about on some Green Party list-serves, and it is creating some dangerous misconceptions about Cynthia McKinney. The misconceptions come from an often-repeated statement that Cynthia McKinney supported the “Bill Clinton 3 strikes crime bill” by voting “in favor of” it while she was serving in Congress. This formulation appears to have been first used by Elaine Brown, in her open letter titled “Vicious Rumormongering Will Not Deter Me from My Campaign for the Green Party Presidential Nomination.” Neither Brown nor those who repeat her words cite a specific vote, thereby placing the burden of research upon Cynthia's supporters, even just to discover exactly what their candidate is being accused of.
