Thats okay Harry... you still had enough low-class friends there to harass the President!

[theDentist]

Geez, I hope that's true.

[Puppage]

Thats okay Harry... you still had enough low-class friends there to harass the President!

Yep, right before retiring for the evening to his 13 million dollar NY City mansion.

Keeping the racism industry alive, one day at a time.

[llevrok]

Harry, your lack of spine kept you from going.

And for heaven's sake - Clear your dang throat, will ya?!

[cripplecreek]

Maybe Mr Gravelthroat would like to provide some evidence.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

like my Dad used to say when stupid people would say things.."Son, just consider the source and go on about your business"..Consider that advice duly noted and followed in this case..

I suppose Bush is to blame for Belafonte's mental illness too.

[Pete]

Next thing you know he will be blaming Lloyd Braun.

[Chena]

Dayyyy-O, Day-ay-ay-O, daylight come and you had to stay home. ;)

I'm starting to love these guys, they do so much damage to their own worldview, Bellicose Belafonte's rants should be shoved in the face of every American for fourscore generations. The GOP would have about 101 out of 100 Senate seats after a couple of months of mandatory exposure to such leftwing paranoid idiocy. Best way to beat your opponents, is to get the public classically conditioned BF Skinner style, so the American people automatically associates "Democratic values" with stupidity, hysteria, and downright nastiness.

Thumbs up, Harry! Thumbs up!

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

I guess the "Bush's fault" mantra will never go away...

[Reaganesque]

That's right Harry!! They used black helicopters and an elite team of Elvis impersonators to keep you away!!

[FormerLib]

It's shame that Dubya doesn't have him deported...to Cuba.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

The King children made the final decision, Belafonte said, but they were "fiercely intimidated by the president's representatives."

I think what he really meant was,

"President Bush wouldn't pay for my airline ticket or my limosine, and I'm too cheap to pay for it myself, so I couldn't go."

[newconhere]

Oh for heavens sake. Did anyone else see the funeral? He had quite a few "enemies" there. I didnt see anyone stomp on Carter and that preacher for speaking their mind. Belafonte is a scaredy cat. This is crock.

[caisson71]

Harry Bafoone, raises his knuckles and speaks nonsense - again.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Harry No-balls-a-phoney.

[Verginius Rufus]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Secret Service told the King family that either the President would attend or Belafonte, that they wouldn't allow Belafonte in close proximity to the President, and told them to choose.

[kingu]

So, ahh, just about a month after the event, and he's just now saying this?

I think people will draw one of two conclusions from this..

1) No one cared why Belafonte wasn't there, and only now, on a slow news day, does anyone even bother to get around to reading the twenty press releases he's sent out...

-or-

2) Editors around the nation realized that they hadn't had enough Bush is a racist connections in their newspapers, so thus went digging for one to use; it only happened today because the editors also forgot that Black History Month was last month and are fixing to demonstrate that they cover blacks outside of the sacred month.
