American singer and activist Harry Belafonte called President Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world" on Sunday and said millions of Americans support the socialist revolution of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.
Belafonte led a delegation of Americans including the actor Danny Glover and the Princeton University scholar Cornel West that met the Venezuelan president for more than six hours late Saturday in Caracas. Some in the group attended Chavez's television and radio broadcast Sunday.
"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 told Chavez during the broadcast.
The 78-year-old Belafonte, famous for his calypso-inspired music, including the "Day-O" song, was a close collaborator of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and is now a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. He also has been outspoken in criticizing the U.S. embargo of Cuba.
Chavez said he believes deeply in the struggle for justice by blacks, both in the U.S. and Venezuela.
"Although we may not believe it, there continues to be great discrimination here against black people," Chavez said, urging his government to redouble its efforts to prevent discrimination.
Belafonte accused U.S. news media of falsely painting Chavez as a "dictator," when in fact, he said, there is democracy and citizens are "optimistic about their future."
Dolores Huerta, a pioneer of the United Farm Workers labor union also in the delegation, called the visit a "very deep experience."
Chavez accuses Bush of trying to overthrow him, pointing to intelligence documents released by the U.S. indicating that the CIA knew beforehand that dissident officers planned a short-lived 2002 coup. The U.S. denies involvement, but Chavez says Venezuela must be on guard.
Belafonte suggested setting up a youth exchange for Venezuelans and Americans. He finished by shouting in Spanish: "Viva la revolucion!"
"Sedition"
We have been ignoring this since the vietnam war, and Hanoi Jane.
I posted my last post having just read the article...and before I read the thread...
It seems that in the thread "poll", my opinion is about 1% of the rest...
It seems this is all a joke...and we have nothing to worry about...
Okay...I wonder if any polticians were with him...they are running all over the world right now...trying to show they are important.
All seriousness aside, in today's mush thinking, when is treason to be prosecuted? It seems like anybody can get away with anything (called anarchy), and no one hardly ever brings up treason. I can think of some acts recently that IMHO are treasonous, but I never hear of the Government prosecuting treason any more? Is it just too old fashioned?
Well, considering we get oil from Venezuela...we need to do something...
He keeps threatening to take all of his business to China...and since our Congress does't see the need for America to produce its own oil source...we will be dependent on all of the dictators, tyrants and Islamofascist regimes in the the world.
Perhaps we should drag it out again, there are enough Liberals around now to charge with it.
Dear AARP member this is your poster child, if you stay in you support him. No ifs, buts or ands about it.
Is this flaming jackass even a US citizen?
A one hit wonder, still living large and spewing bilge.
If Harry was so much for the proletariat, then let him eschew his bourgeois trappings an clothe himself in rags and dig for scraps of food in smoldering garbage dumps.
A bird told me, fat ass chance of that happening.
I'm all for it!
"Princeton University scholar Cornel West "
stephenjohnbanker: Scholar??????
stephenjohnbanker: R O T F L M A O
Good point, stephen! He just be pimpin' his jive-ass around academe. And 'dem fools be lappin' it up.
"Belafonte a UNICEF goodwill ambassador?
Hmmm... add that group to the list of not getting a look-see when it comes time to decide what groups to donate to in '06."
I believe Harry Belafonte has the obligation to define "Goodwill" for us as well as the obligation to explain the moral responsibilities of a rational "goodwill ambassador."
Harry Belafonte is a case study proving that he and his comrade communists, leftists, radical "liberals", neurotic academics, narcissistic "performers", deluded proMarxists, et al, are dangerously insane...or as Michele Malkins best codifies: "UNHINGED"! Belafonte is totally "unhinged." It'd be rather comical, if you forget 9/11 terrorist attacks, the war on terrorism and the REAL terrorism throughout the world. Belafonte's hate speech demonizing Bush reflects more upon Belafonte being an evil person.
Did you read his new book " Pimp My Plagiarism ", or his
first masterpiece " Negronics Trumps Ebonics Evah Muh Fuggin Time "
These aholes think Bush is a dictator - they don't come close to having a clue what a dictator is.
You poor dear.
It does make sense though. Christmas/fruitcake....
"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 told Chavez during the broadcast.
Yeah, right. *rolls eyes*
What an idiot.""
Has Harry found some old LSD to use these days?
What a stupid thing to say about the country that bought his records and paid to go to his concerts.
IF he ever has another personal concert or appearance in the USA, I certainly hope he is strongly FREEPED.
Belafonte led a delegation of Americans [!!!!!!] including the actor Danny Glover and the Princeton University scholar Cornel West that met the Venezuelan president for more than six hours late Saturday in Caracas. Some in the group attended Chavez's television and radio broadcast Sunday.
"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 [what a liar!!!!] ... support your revolution," Belafonte told Chavez during the broadcast.
Watch what your badass self be sayin'. You be owin' me a keyboard now, homey! ROFL
wagglbee....I am getting the impression that George Soros has told the dems and celebrities...that the more they go out and give "treasonous" speeches...
and this includes Murtha, Kerry and other politicians...
that the American people will become "used" to them..and will just start IGNORING THEM!!!!
Then, we will be surprised when these "students" from Venezuela that Belafonte and Chavez want "exhanged" for Americans will rise up in a coup attempt against OUR government...
and THEN, like with 9/11 and Al-queda, everyone will ask:
WHAT HAPPENED, WHERE DID THESE PEOPLE COME FROM?????
These are very scary times...and not enough people are paying attention, I am afraid.
***Good point.
Thanks...
