Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren has picked up the endorsement and fundraising support of entertainer Harry Belafonte, whose reputation as a calypso singer has been superseded by his service to international Marxism. During the Cold War, Belafonte sang at a “Concert for Peace” in communist East Germany, where he attacked President Reagan’s anti-communist foreign policy.
A long-time supporter of the Castro dictatorship, he has more recently been singing the praises of Venezuelan Marxist ruler Hugo Chavez.
The April 19 Warren fundraiser, which included Belafonte’s name on the letterhead, was held at the Manhattan penthouse of HBO executive Michael Fuchs, another indication of how Warren has the support of the media in her critical race. HBO recently ran the Sarah Palin-bashing film “Game Change.”
A radical in her own right, Warren proudly claims to be the intellectual author of the Occupy Wall Street movement and is running as a “consumer advocate.” But she had previously benefitted from a fundraiser hosted by George Soros, the billionaire hedge-fund operator linked to the 2008 housing-market collapse.
Belafonte’s pro-Marxist views rarely make national news, but last October he garnered headlines when he dozed off before a TV interview, leaving anchor Leyla Santiago to say on camera, “Harry, wake up! Harry?”
Belafonte’s endorsement of Warren, who is trying to unseat Republican Senator Scott Brown, should prompt the media to ask whether Warren, a Harvard professor, has been awake or asleep as more than one hundred million people have died at the hands of communist regimes. Her operatives did not disavow Belafonte’s support for her candidacy.
Belafonte’s 2011 book, My Song: A Memoir, attacked Cuban-Americans opposed to the Castro regime as “angry partisans” who had been “cogs in the corrupt Batista machine” and had “lost their plunder” when Batista was overthrown by Castro.

Hey Elizabeth,are you a communist?
Is a communist-America your goal?
Why do you want that failed system of poverty, torture, and death for our country? Is it the money and power you’ll get for selling us out?
If that happens, there will be no more free speech for the NAACP, Harry & Co, or anyone.
Poor Harry he does not know much about Castro or Cuban American in USA. After over 50 yrs people are still leaving or try to escape the Country. Please Harry your calipso is as old & out touch as the failed communism that you still admire.
Dear Mr. Belafonte;
Day-oh!
Daylight come and we want you to go home...
.....TO CUBA!
Yet, where does he choose to live?
I’d help catapult him to that workers island paradise.
BINGO!.....plus the fact that he made his money as a good old-fashioned capitalist!
lol...He's “box of rocks dumb and indoctrinated”...but not so much he'd move to Cuba and give his money to Castro!
Reds of a feather flock together.
Sandra Fluke, on the other hand, just flukes separately.
