I was actually making reference to the Harry Belafonte’s comments being “extreme”, not comments by other readers, though the same principle applies to anyone’s free expression of their views. I’m looking for solid, reasoned arguments, that’s all I need.

What??? Do you have proof? If you want to libel commenters, you can’t do it here. – Admin

When anyone makes such extreme comments, I stop listening. All of the name calling regardless of who is doing it is just tiresome.

I strongly disagree with Belafonte – Reagan was worse:

Typical. Cobra’s point wasn’t that criticism was a right, thus making him redundant. He was criticizing the previous posters for thinking Belefonte’s behavior to be beyond the pale and suggested they focus on something of actual importance.

LaShawn: You can’t be “sort of redundant” any more than you can be “sort of dead.” Cobra has been redundant. Period.

Cobra: If Harry Guadalpot said Bush was the greatest terrorist since Genghis Khan, everyone would have asked who the heck Harry Guadalpot is.

When Harry Belafonte says the same, everyone says: “Gee, I thought Harry Belafonte was dead. Who cares what he thinks?”

When Cobra defends Harry Belafonte’s propriety to talk stupid stuff with a state socialist dictator, people might ask if Cobra has a clue.

Oh stop it. Harry Belafonte has the right to speak every bit as much as Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Liddy and Malkin. We all know what the afforementioned have said about Democratic Presidents.

Don’t get me wrong. You have to right to lambast him all you like, but don’t think that Belafonte is breaking any new ground by criticizing the President.

–Cobra

Glad you acknowledged that we have a right to “lambast” him for what he says, just as he has a right to criticize Bush. All that goes without saying, which makes your comment sort of redundant. – Admin

Robert, in 1930 the German people voted and elevated the Nazis into the second largest party in their legislature. In 1932 the German people voted again, this time giving the Nazis a clear majority and paving the way for Hitler’s total dictatorship.

It was only a matter of time before the moonbat scientists would make a claim such as this… Polar Bears, because of toxic waste chemicals such as the ones used to manufacture products like Scotchgard, are causing polar bears to becom…

…â€œwell, if Barbra Streisand says it, it must be trueâ€.

The Streisand dittohead army is indeed a force to be reckoned with.

Supporting a Democratically elected dictator, Thank you.

I thought this country supported democratic elections.

Oh yeah, only when the elected leaders act as a puppet of the U.S.
So do we want this in Iraq?

Belafonte’s earlier vulgar insults directed at Gen. Powell and Dr. Rice were quite enough to convince me that he’s both irrational and hateful. What a shame that great talent has to reside in such a disreputable individual.

When Harry Belafonte first came on the scene he was a class act and a big influence in the pop music world. His concert at Carnegie Hall with Miriam Mekaba in the late 50’s was music history.

Harry Belafonte, at 78, on the political scene is unable to get a gig as the opening act for Cindy Sheehan.

The fact that Danny Glover dragged along with him to the Chavez love-fest is far more disturbing to me than any slurs that drool down Belafonte’s has-been chin.

If Belafonte had been born white, we would never have heard of him. His bitter politics and love of state socialism only sells to a small audience of mostly rich elitists.

Harry, its time to “jump down, spin around” and pick up on the fact that “daylight come and its time to go home.”

I say keep ‘em talking. I look forward to the day when celebrities get an eye-roll and a “whatever” from normal, mainstream, thinking people instead of a “well, if Barbra Streisand says it, it must be true”.

I think we’re starting to give them less credibility…so it’s a start.
