1. The democrats must not applaud Belafonte.

[robbedvoter]

3. Why the hell not?

:shrug:

[democrattruth]

6. Because he is a fool and if

the party makes him a poster boy they will pay a heavy price in the coming elections.

[rman]

10. Why is Belafonte a fool?

[oasis]

19. Because, instead of enjoying his wealth and celebrity, he continues

to be involved in the struggle for human dignity across the planet. :sarcasm:

[nmliberal]

24. Yeah, I haven't heard anything from Belafonte that sounds foolish

If you have, please share with us. So far, it seems to me that Belafonte has spoken truth.

[Skidmore]

12. I think you might be surprised at how sick of lies and spin

most Americans are. Clearly you aren't and you have an axe to grind. Sometimes truth is painful but necessary to healing.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. The Logic That Drives This Conclusion Is. . .?

An opinion without a basis is of little value. What drives you to this conclusion? Other than hatred, that is.
The Professor

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Hmmm! No Response

Apparently a drive by poster who was scared away by intelligent discourse.
The Professor

[oasis]

16. Fool? Belafonte's a fool? You can't back up that statement with fact.

[flordehinojos]

18. it seems to me that harry belafonte is a truth teller, an american and a

patriot, who understands a thing or two about the undermining of our american constitution by the bush boy, his poppy, bubba jeb and the rest of the bush goons.

[oasis]

20. You got that right, flordehinijos. Harry's "Democracy Now" interview

gives an example of his grasp of Bush policies and world politics.

[robbedvoter]

25. No dear, YOU ARE THE FOOL!

Anything in particular that he says you object to - or it's his person/some atributes of his person that offend thee?

[jonnyblitz]

26. man these fucking right wing talking points get tiresome

nobody is making him a fucking poster boy for the Democratic Party. Democracy Now is NOT affiliated with the DEM party.

[oasis]

4. Belafonte should be praised by all who believe in human rights and justice

Who are you to say different?

[democrattruth]

8. I am expressing my opinion, is this allowed?

[rman]

11. Opinions are a dime a dozen

Facts on the other hand...

[oasis]

13. Opinions backed up by facts. If you have any facts to back up your

comments they will be received with enthusiasm.

:hi:

[Bridget Burke]

21. Thanks for the advice!

Why are some folks so concerned that "we" Democrats will be injured if we become associated with people who speak the truth?

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Because Going Along Has Worked SO Well Up To Now!

Right? Obviously, since we've been not following the lead of straight talkers like Harry, and we've NOT lost control of Congress, and we DON'T have an idiot in the White House who is completely out of control, then we should continue along the same path. Right?

WE democrats should, of course, continue along this path that has worked so darned well the last 10 years. Because if we follow someone like Harry, we would lose all the power and success we've attained.

The Professor

(This is all sarcastically stated in response to the drive-by poster.)

[robbedvoter]

27. You mispelled your handle - take a clue from the name of this site

It's a tell-tell misspelling, btw. Such as hugh, series and moran.

[Don Claybrook]

5. why not?

Who are you, by the way, and why do you get to say what Democrats must and must not do?

This should be interesting.

[bananas]

7. Republicans must applaud Belafonte

because they know he's right.

[oasis]

2. I saw the earlier broadcast. Awesome interview. Chavez, civil rights, FBI

& NSA spying discussed at length. Belafonte is a storehouse of information.

[G_j]

9. you can also listen here, broadcast 4 times a day:

listen online:
www.wpvm.org

[oasis]

23. 4 times a day. Great. (eom)

[Lost4words]

15. I will support anyone that speaks the TRUTH

I am getting sick and tired of tiptoe Dino's, to hell with the nonexistent CENTER!

[Sparkman]

28. Belefonte was with MLK, bailed him out of jail. Talks from personal experi

ence in leading the civil rights movement, and the anti war activists on many occasions.
This is one American I would pledge my support to ANYTIME. Lifelong Dem here, never supported or voted for a Republican. Union oganizer's son, and anti-war activist, and here. inhaled a time or two.

29. he was good

he sees what is going on, our path toward fascism.
