Belafonte Insanity Continues - Rove Intervention Not Apparent
2006-01-22
Entertainer Harry Belafonte, one of the Bush administration's harshest critics, compared the Homeland Security Department to the Nazi Gestapo on Saturday and attacked the president as a liar. "We've come to this dark time in which the new Gestapo of Homeland Security lurks here, where citizens are having their rights suspended," Belafonte said in a speech to the annual meeting of the Arts Presenters Members Conference.
??? Shouldn't someone whack him in the head to justify this garbage?
"You can be arrested and not charged. You can be arrested and have no right to counsel," said Belafonte.
Nice anti-Ciklis, he'd kick your ass thru your mouth, you decrepit piece of Fidellista SH*T
Belafonte's remarks on Saturday _ part of a 45-minute speech on the role of the arts in a politically changing world "pay us to insult you" were greeted with a roaring standing ovation from an audience which included such unemployed as singer Peter Yarrow of the folk group Peter, Paul and Mary, and members of the arts community from several dozen countries.
several dozen? Zimbabwe in there? Turkish Kurdistan? Afghans? I didn't think so...
Laplanders, Samoans, Esquimaux, the whole bunch. Can't trust none of 'em.
Messages seeking comments from Homeland Security and White House officials were not immediately returned.
"we're in the toilet wiping creating our response "
He had called President Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world" during a trip to Venezuela two weeks ago. Belafonte, 78, made that comment after a meeting with Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.
Right on cue, too.
The Harlem-born Belafonte, who was raised in Jamaica, said his activism was inspired by an impoverished mother "who imbued in me that we should never capitulate to oppression."
she was twisted, so I am as well...
He acknowledged that the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks demanded a reaction by the United States, but said the policies of the Bush administration were not the right response. "Fascism is fascism. Terrorism is terrorism. Oppression is oppression," said Belafonte, who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
I am the egg man goo goo ga joob!
Bush, he said, rose to power "somewhat dubiously and ... then lies to the people of this nation, misleads them, misinstructs, and then sends off hundreds of thousands of our own boys and girls to a foreign land that has not aggressed against us."

#6  ..I thank God Mr. Belafonte can say things like that here. Because quite frankly, if he ever saw what the REAL Gestapo was capable of, he'd sh*t himself.

#3  There was a recent pic of him on Drudge, next to Hillary in a different pic. Unfortunately it was too small to use. He was wearing headphones, and more than anything else, he looked like Darth Vader after his helmet had been taken off.

#1  The image of Harry Belafonte, 78, that comes to mind is not a pleasant one. He's basically an embittered old man literally sitting on a park bench and screaming at kids playing in the park to "stop making all that noise!" A Stalinist with a dwindling fan base.
