Professor and political activist Cornel West declared President Barack Obama a “war criminal,” arguing that his support of Israel and his drone policy make him complicit in the deaths of innocent people.

The controversial activist made the comments at a pro-Palestinian rally in Washington, DC on Saturday, according to Talking Points Memo. West began his speech by pointing to the deteriorating situation in Gaza, where more than 1,800 Palestinians and more than 60 Israelis have been killed, criticizing Israel’s offensive in the region in front of a “Free Palestine” banner.

His comments regarding President Obama begin at around the three-minute mark in the video below.

“There’s an intimate connection between mendacity and criminality, between lies and crimes against humanity,” West said. “And what I want to say to my Black brother in the White House: Barack Obama is a war criminal – not because he’s Black, or half-African and white – but because his drones have killed 233 innocent children, and because he facilitates the killing of innocent Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, and it would be true anywhere el

LOL. Hey, Cornel. Where I come from you don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Wrap Obama up as a War Criminal and place him under my Christmas Tree. I promise you, I won't be asking any questions of how he got there.

First of all, on any list of crimes Obama ought to be prosecuted for, being a war criminal in the name of Israel doesn't make the list of the top10,000. Secondly, They got Al Capone on a tax evasion rap. You can blame my mother-in-law if you get Obama jail time as war criminal.

Russia Today ?

Did Obama, “Act Supidly”???

We need different terms for different types of professors.

Cornel West should be in the “Professor of Silly Nothingness” class.

There is nothing even approaching intellect in anything that poor sod has ever spoken or written about.

Wait, I thought he didn’t support Israel enough? Confusing times.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Yeah. Next time I’m looking for wisdom, I will look around for a fat turd to listen to. I do it all the time.

Sorry Cornell. It wonn’t work. You cannot make us feel good about the big 0.

Random question

Is Cornel West related to Kanye Kardashian-West?

Russia Today ?

Must be a Gannett Publication.

Thankfully, Putin doesn’t own Gannett. Yet.

Cornel West wouldn’t be so outraged if he actually judged a person by their character and stopped throwing his support behind people just because they’re black.

[Billthedrill]

This from the very font of the White Privilege gasbags. Take it with a grain of arsenic.

Well obviously Cornel West is a racist traitor to his heritage...not black enough....a tool of the tea party....low IQ.... hates women and gays...(had to just insert that last part because I was on a roll)
