Harry Belafonte: "George Bush is a terrorist"

[BlacknBlue in Red NC]

he just said it again on C-Span's coverage of the State of Black America
and got a standing ovation.

Speaking truth to power. It's about time.

2. why does harry HATE america?

:shrug:

[Double T]

Why does george HATE america?

:mad: time to impeach

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. For george it's not just family business as usual, it's PERSONAL!

He hates Americans, especially those who have the nerve to question his evil agenda.

[tsuki]

14. Why should Americans question? After all, it's HIS government.

/off sarcasm

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. Ah yes! His government! Lest we underlings forget! Imagine Clinton

or Kerry or Gore saying that ( as if) imagine the corporate media feeding frenzy? :rofl:

7. Why is it that when anyone opposes the 'status quo'

they're said to hate America? Wasn't this country founded on the principle that speech is a freedom, and dissenting beliefs can and should be heard?

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. Can Harry run for President?

I can't remember if he's a native born American or not. I think he speaks to truth, and that's what we need now. Why is it that African Americans are, in general, more savvy to what is going on? Look at the Congressional Black Caucus back in 2000, and the work of my hero, John Conyers.

4. Tavis announced that Harry is 80 years old.

[Mythsaje]

6. I think Harry's from the Carribean, originally...

So, no, not a native-born American.

Wasn't Harry Belefonte a part of Martin Luther King Jr.'s entourage during his civil rights marches?

10. Harry Belafonte quote from 2002:

"I work for the United Nations. I go to places where enormous upheaval and pain and anguish exist. And a lot of it exists based upon American policy. Whom we support, whom we support as heads of state, what countries we've helped to overthrow, what leaders we've helped to diminish because they did not fit the mold we think they should fit, no matter how ill advised that thought may be." - Harry Belafonte interview on CNN Larry King Live, October 15, 2002

[Brewman_Jax]

He and Bayard Rustin were major fund-raisers, also.
