The reason some in Hollywood are called Hollyweirdos

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on January 8, 2006 at 7:58 pm

Because of stories like this:

American singer and human rights activist Harry Belafonte has called US President George W Bush “the greatest terrorist in the world” saying millions of Americans support the socialist revolution of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.

Belafonte led a delegation of Americans including actor Danny Glover, Princeton University scholar Cornel West and farmworker advocate Dolores Huerta that met the Venezuelan president for more than six hours late Saturday and attended his television and radio broadcast on 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 Mr Chavez during the broadcast.

“We respect you, admire you, and we are expressing our full solidarity with the Venezuelan people and your revolution.”

Hey Harry, I have a feeling that not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of American people … would support your staying in Venezuela.

Forever.

Mon AM Update: I forgot to mention that Belafonte is the same Hollywood celeb who likened former Sec. of State Colin Powell (as well as then NSA-now- Sec of State Condi Rice) to ‘house slaves.’

Read Joe Gandelman’s post on this as well.

      Is it time for a Jamaican Farewell to Banana Boat Belafonte?

    3. Donna says:

      I hope he (and others like him) keep talking. The better for conservatives, you know?

    4. Baklava says:

      I wish the press would report his comments EVERY day.

    5. Dana says:

      I always love it when someone who became successful and wealthy in a capitalist economy tells us how he favors (someone else’s) socialist revolution.

      I wonder where Harry has his money and investments?

      George Soros has his money where the US Gov’t can’t tax it.

      Anyone else smell the hypocrisy here?

      As we read on Monday Harry Belafonte stated that our President is “the world’s greatest terrorist” and that millions of American’s supported Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez.
      I feel there is no need to address his calling our President a terrorist, as any level headed person can see the falseness of that statement.
      Instead, I would like to talk about Mr. Belafonte’s claim that millions of American’s support a Socialist who admittedly admires Fidel Castro.
      Anyone who would pattern themselves after a Communist dictator would not garner support from too many Americans I know. Also, Mr. Chavez made many high profile visits to Saddam Hussein prior to the war. So let me get this straight Mr. Belafonte, you’re saying that millions of Americans support a man who is friends with two of the world’s greatest violators of Civil Rights? I beg to differ.
      Hugo Chavez is a mere thug who tried on more than one occassion to seize power through military coup, rather than free election. Rather than solve his people’s problems internally, he deflects their suffering from his responsibility by blaming the United Sates and other democracies. He also accused the U.S. of “fighting terror with terror” for invading Afghanistan. Although some left-leaning Americans have issues with Operation Iraqi Freedom, I think that all Americans, besides the far-left fringes of American society, such as MoveOn.org and Mr. Belafonte, would agree that our action against the Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan was justified.

      PCD….

      It has all the sincerity of Michael Moore giving me tips on eating healthy…

      or Jane Fonda lecturing us about making a relationship last forever.

    9. Robert says:

      If Bush is not a terrorist, is Saddam?

    10. Robert: “If Bush is not a terrorist, is Saddam?”

      ST: I’m not following, Robert. Would you elaborate please?

    11. Baklava says:

      If Robert isn’t delusional is ST?

      Ok, lord I ‘pologize for that one there. :d

      Oh man the name calling by leftist today…. Being humorous and acting like them isn’t even funny…
