When she was blaming Republican crossovers, it was by NO MEANS code word for rightwing Zionist Jews. Please. There's quite enough misinformation about McKinney floating around.

When she blamed Rpublican crossovers, she was blaming the residents of Gwinnett County, Georgia who were specifically exhorted by Rush Limbaugh the day before the primary to cross over and vote McKinney out. I heard him myself as I was running errands that afternoon.

You're right about the other -- her father is, unfortunately, both a loose cannon and apparently an anti-Semite. That said, there WAS a strong AIPAC presence in both her primary defeat AND that of Earl Hilliard in Alabama who lost just about the very same way McKinney did. He too dared to speak up for human rights for Palestinians while in office.

There's not a divisive or bigoted bone in Cynthia's body. I know her personally (though somewhat distantly), and have for more than a decade, and have followed her career and on one occasion (when I still lived in her district) worked on her campaign (volunteer). She IS one of America's true heroes, a Truth Teller par excellence, and one of the strongest, fiercest fighters you can name. A warrioress. As a result she has numerous powerful enemies.
