I didn't go. I was too busy cutting my grass to waste my time.

Day-O!
Besides, I think it's high time we standardize on the type of ID's people can accept as proof of identification to vote. The Democrats have a notorious history of voter fraud and it's high time we put a stop to this.
Has anyone spouting the "it's racist" position ever given a coherent (albeit flawed by definition) explanation of why that might be the case?
Once upon a time, I admired some of these people. I really did. But now I pity them. Time has passed them by because they are no longer acquainted with the truth...and any generosity that they held in their hearts has now been tainted with bitterness and hatred for circumstances that do not exist.
How can they not see the many fine things that are happening in America? If America is such a dreadful place, why do millions of people from all over the world rush to come here to make a living...legally OR illegally?
Anyone can see what's wrong, but can they see what's right? I think not.
Nothing like a symbolic photo-op for the Rainbow Shakedown Coalition and their white enablers.
"Mister Tallyman" went bananas long ago.
Better to keep silent and be thought a fool, Harry, than to speak and remove all doubt.
Another case of a has-been entertainer trying to be relevant by getting political -- and failing miserably.
Daylight come, but he still a yo-yo.
Rock on, great job! And yes, cutting grass takes priority over moonbatting. Who, by the way, is Belafonte? I've never heard of him before.
The only argument I've heard is that it could disenfranchise the infirm elderly and the most extremely poor, because they may not have access to get a state-issued ID card. There is *some* merit to that idea. How, for exacmple, would a homeless person get an ID card? Of course, the obvious counter argument is that it's very difficult for the homeless to vote anyway, since they may not be registered in any given district.
The idea that some won't come forward due to Jim Crow laws is, frankly, ridiculous to me, seeing's how African Americans have had the right to vote for 50 years now in this country.
As an American, his comments are bigoted, rascist and offensive. They are also breathtakingly stupid, which explains how he could make the comments and believe that he's actually making sense.
All in all, this ranks right up there with the most idiotic statements in contemporary US politics. And in passing, his music sucked too.
Sad, really. I just bought a Harry Belafonte compilation, because I love his music. Too bad he can't just shut the F up.
I got a kick from hearing Belafonte refer to Colin Powell
as a slave who was allowed to enter "the master's house".
A filthy comment like that from a clown whose claim to fame
is an ability to count bananas.
Actually(in his stupid song)doesn't he ask someone else to count his banana's? ;)
US Rep. John Lewis US Rep. Maxine Waters, Harry Belafonte, Rev. Jesse Jackson, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelose.

So we shouldn't listen to Harry???
