January 20, 2006 "Foot-In-Mouth Disease" By: Oliver North WASHINGTON -- Pity the poor Democrats. Five years of George W. Bush in office have driven them to distraction. Their most audible advocates have developed "Mad Mule Malady." The symptoms are identical to "Foot-in-Mouth Disease," and those running for office under the Democrat Party banner this year are likely to find their colleagues' increasingly vicious verbal gaffes to be both memorable and damaging. The onset of their illness could not be more instructive. As leading Democrats are attacking Republicans, al Qaeda is planning to attack America. That is what we are told...

From an Associated Press dispatch last Monday: "The American singer and activist Harry Belafonte called President George W. Bush ‘the greatest terrorist in the world' yesterday and said millions of Americans support the socialist revolution of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez." The report noted that "Belafonte led a delegation of Americans, including the actor Danny Glover and the Princeton University scholar Cornel West, that met with the Venezuelan president for more than six hours late Saturday." At the meeting, Belafonte referred to the U.S. President as the "greatest tyrant in the world." Chavez is viewed in Venezuela as an enemy of...

Commemorating King at Duke By Steve Miller FrontPageMagazine.com | January 16, 2006 It was painful to sit through and disturbing to see the incredible affection that was showered on Belafonte--not only from the adoring audience, but from university officials and even the Mayor of Durham, who lovingly furnished Belafonte with a key to the city. The event was held in the Duke Chapel, which seats about 1600 people. Every seat was filled plus about 200 more people sitting or standing. Many in attendance where adults from the Durham community, but there were certainly a fair number of students there as...

When someone has a history of making insidious remarks—such as opining that the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 were a result of “America’s hand of villainy,” calling President Bush “the greatest terrorist in the world,” and comparing Colin Powell to a house “slave” and the Bush administration to the “Third Reich”—normal people tend to distance themselves from the bearer of such animosity. Not Duke University. Ranked fifth nationally for its undergraduate program by U.S. News & World Report, the school is all smiles after having Calypso’s king of hate pay tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. Harry Belafonte, an avowed...

Perhaps it's because one of the gentlemen I'm going to comment on (Harry Belafonte) has West Indian roots, as are some of mine; growing up, Calypso and Afro-Cuban music were integral to my cultural development. Perhaps it's because the other gentleman I'm going to comment on (Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan), Belafonte and I are all members of that mysterious "lost race" of "light skinned" Black people to whom the superficially-focused frequently refer, but which has yet to be rediscovered on the Dark Continent. Once again, it's only because of our mendacious and seditious media that Belafonte's recent comments...

The American Association of Retired Persons began as an organization dedicated to improving the lives of our elderly. These days it is being run by leftists. When you become a member, part of your dues go to support their political agenda. It was Winston Churchill who said (in other words) that liberalism is a natural state for the young, and conservatism a natural state for the same people, only a few decades farther down the road. This is a true statement, as all population group surveys prove. The reason for the evolution is time and experience. Life drives out fairy...

Mitt Romney: The November Surprise by Carol Turoff January 14. 2006 An unlikely package of contrasts emerges from Leftachusetts. In a state that has kept dependable liberals Ted Kennedy (first elected in 1962) and John Kerry (1984) in the senate and Barney Frank (serving since 1980) among its congressional representatives, an atypical political figure has emerged on the Massachusetts horizon. Never previously having held elective office, Gov. Mitt Romney was elected in 2002 with a decisive margin. The son of George Romney, a former Cabinet member who served three terms as governor of Michigan, Mitt presents an intriguing Republican persona...

Harry Belafonte will be the guest speaker at Duke University tommorow for a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr celebration. Ok,I dont know every thing about Dr. King~ But this I beleive: He would not appreciate every militant leftist piggy backing onto to his death. I plan to write an email to and call Duke University to let them know how I view their name after hosting this leftist, Duke makes me Puke. Contact info here

Why God chose the Jews By Andrew Klavan THERE IS ONE good thing about anti-Semitism: It lets you know who the bad guys are. Right, left, black, white, freak or straight, the minute someone starts rattling on about the evil Jews, you know your train just pulled into Slimeball Station. All bigotry is wrong, of course, but there's something about this particular form of prejudice that's weirdly reliable as a sign of deeper wickedness. Perhaps it's because the Jews contributed so much to humanity's moral code that to hate them as a race is to despise the restraints of morality...

Blacks Repudiate Belafonte For Release: January 13, 2006 Contact David Almasi at: (202) 543-4110x11 or Project21@nationalcenter.org With former singing star Harry Belafonte's anti-American rhetoric apparently increasing in fervor, members of the black leadership network Project 21 call upon prominent Americans - especially those who find themselves sharing a stage with Belafonte - to disavow his anti-American radicalism and his practice of harshly attacking the character of those who disagree with his policy views. During a recent visit with Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, Belafonte and praised the anti-American, anti-human rights Chavez regime, saying, "No matter what the greatest tyrant in the...

_________________________________________ _________________________________________ Harry's latest 'boo-boo'--------------------------------------------------------Posted: January 13, 20061:00 a.m. Eastern© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com Just when you think the folks who comprise America's entertainment world can't sink to a new low in America-bashing, one of them goes and opens their mouth. The latest individual who seems to think the grass is greener on the totalitarian side of the world is crooner Harry Belafonte. Belafonte was leading a delegation of Americans to Venezuela to praise the nation's leader, leftist strongman, Hugo Chavez. Chavez has implemented a socialist takeover of Venezuela, and he sees himself in the style of one of his political...

Sen. Hillary Clinton narrowly avoided political disaster yesterday by staying at least 15 feet away from Harry Belafonte at all times during the Children's Defense Fund lunch in the Rainbow Room. That, presumably, was a safe distance. With any luck, New York's junior senator won't be captured in any photographs - even those taken with a wideangle lens - cozying up to the tough-talking activist, who last weekend on a trip to Venezuela called President Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world." In Caracas, Belafonte also lavished praise on Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying: "We respect you, we admire you"...

Belafonte reasserts Bush 'worst terrorist' Defends remarks, saying press ignores 'our side of the agenda' ------------------------------------------------------- © 2006 WorldNetDaily.com Harry Belafonte in interview yesterday Following an appearance at a luncheon with Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., yesterday, entertainer Harry Belafonte defended his description of President Bush as the world's worst terrorist, insisting he only was being truthful and was prompting the press to cover a "side of the agenda" it ignores. Sunday, Belafonte told Venezuela's communist-leaning President Hugo Chavez, "No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush says, we're here to...

The New York Observer is reporting that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) will appear Thursday at a luncheon with Calypso singer turned Bush-bashing liberal activist Harry Belafonte. The luncheon is an awards ceremony given by the Children’s Defense Fund, a liberal interest group. Belafonte gained recent attention by calling President Bush the "world’s greatest terrorist” while visiting Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. Belafonte was joined on the Venezuela trip by a group of outspoken liberal Americans, including actor Danny Glover and Princeton University Professor Cornel West. "No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George...

TALLY HIS BANANAS Harry Belafonte: He sings great, but talks nonsense. Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle For some reason, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez brings out the boneheadedness in some high-profile Americans, on the left as well as the right. Last year, archconservative televangelist Pat Robertson suggested that U.S. operatives assassinate the populist leader. Last Sunday, singer/liberal political activist Harry Belafonte was in Caracas on a UNICEF goodwill ambassador visit, where he offered an outlandish characterization of President George W. Bush as a "tyrant" and "terrorist." Among rational Americans, even the president's harshest critics were repulsed by Belafonte's stunning televised outburst. "No...

In a statement issued hours after Belafonte’s bombastic revolutionary battle cry, in which he spoke out against Bush and said “millions of Americans support the socialist revolution” of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, United Nations representatives for UNICEF said Belafonte spoke “as a private citizen and was not speaking as a UNICEF ambassador, nor acting in an official capacity on behalf of the organization.” Of course that’s akin to saying Hitler was a bad man, but a great fund-raiser for our Jewish Humanitarian organization… Belafonte shouted from the stage “No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist...

CNSNews.com) - Calypso singer and liberal political activist Harry Belafonte was speaking for himself, not UNICEF, when he called President Bush a terrorist during a visit to leftist Venezuela, the U.N. children's advocacy group says. Belafonte was quoted as telling Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Saturday, "No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush says, we're here to tell you: Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of the American people...support your revolution." Belafonte made the comment on Chavez' radio and TV broadcast. The U.S. Fund for UNICEF told reporters that...
