Daylight Come and I Wanna Go Nuts

Okay, other than one really, really annoying song, why is this guy famous?

NEW YORK - Entertainer Harry Belafonte, one of the Bush administration’s harshest critics, compared the Homeland Security Department to the Nazi Gestapo on Saturday and attacked the president as a liar.

“We’ve come to this dark time in which the new Gestapo of Homeland Security lurks here, where citizens are having their rights suspended,” Belafonte said in a speech to the annual meeting of the Arts Presenters Members Conference.

Tiresome. You'd think a guy who's considered such an artist would be able to come up with something better than Bush-Hitler comparisons.

Since most artist are some of the most mentally impared people in the world where better for a total mental retard to appear, unless it's at KOS with Hanoi John.
Looks like his handlers or family would see that they are using him and making a fool of him. When they're done with him they'll dump him like the idiot Sheehan.

eh,
the Kinks did a better Banana Boat song live anyway.

you know, punk ass bitch Harry B should be made to read I Will Bear Witness, 1933-1941 and then recite out loud with his commie pal Castro every single solitary crime committed against German Jews and the US "under criminal George Bush" equivalent.

Cause I don't recall us confiscating Muslim drivers licenses and enacting Muslim extra taxes and taking their property and business away from them this year, did I just miss that or what?

fuckwad.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 21, 2006 09:06 PM

I would call him a moron, but I don't believe its right ot slander morons. They can't help it, their born that way.

But I have a serious question for this washed up calypso singer. If the Department of Homeland Security is just like the Gestapo, then how is he not in jail or a shallow grave?

Why, Slub?

Belafonte is just like every other hypocritical fucknozzle pinko celebrity. If living in the US is so terrible why the fuck doesn't he go live in some left-wing wonderland like, say, Cuba?

Posted by: zetetic on January 21, 2006 09:50 PM

Belafonte's no artist. He had one minor hit and he's been milking it ever since.

Posted by: barry on January 21, 2006 10:31 PM

Harry is making another appearence this weekend on the:

International Commission of Inquiry On
Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration.

Subtitled the "Bush Crimes Commision."

Along with Bel[fry]fonte is Scott Scott Ritter Janis Karpinski and Ted Glick of the Independent Progressive Politics Network.

Great crowd isn't it? You should see the rest, should make for hours of fisking when all is said and done.

Posted by: Marc on January 21, 2006 10:38 PM

Belafonte and his wife have always been commies.

Posted by: shawn on January 21, 2006 10:46 PM

Belefonte has a big mouth and thats stuck with a small brain this guy must has the brain the size of a walnut more of his idiotic blathering

Posted by: spurwing plover on January 21, 2006 11:04 PM

Well, you know though, people are having their rights suspended.

Posted by: scarshapedstar on January 21, 2006 11:07 PM

savant, I tell you....

Posted by: Tom M on January 21, 2006 11:14 PM

Ok, Hairy Ballsoplenty is allowed to hang out with known enemies of this country(Castro,Chavex etc...) and blathers that freedoms/rights are being denied? I'm still waiting for these douchebags to find their poster person. Still waiting for the one person yanked from the library, and beaten down in the parking lot clutching a bomb manual. Still waiting ....

Go ask Cindy Sheehan how many hit songs you need to get famous with the Lefty crowd.

"Belafonte's no artist. He had one minor hit and he's been milking it ever since."

No no no. Belafonte played Carnegie Hall, and he was GREAT.

But I don't think Bush = Hitler is the right analogy. Bush is not out to conquer the world. He just wants to help steal a lot of it for his buddies, and who cares how many people are hurt along the way. Bush is more of a third-world kleptocrat who likes to dress up in military uniforms.

That a Caribbean guy like Belafonte can't see that ... well, he's old, and he's thinking too big about Bush. The traditional role of the US in the world keeps lots of people from seeing how much more Bush resembles a third-world power-grabber.

The prescription drug bill helps transfer billions in tax funds to corporations, while failing to deliver what's needed. And the Bush solution is more PR.

Much like in Iraq. Much like the proposed Soc Sec plan.

See the pattern?

No, but with enough drugs and head trauma, perhaps I could learn to be a little more like you.

LMAO!

Hey, Sortelli, I got some meth and a 2x4. Wanna enroll in the Tubino Enlightenment Program?

I cordially invite Mr Belafonte to suck a big, steamy turd straight from my ass.

tubino and starshapedscar are welcome to cleanup detail.

Posted by: The Warden on January 22, 2006 05:24 AM

We’ve come to this dark time in which Harry Belafonte lurks in every media outlet, like Barry Manilow in the '80s.

Posted by: Mikey on January 22, 2006 09:34 AM

So let me get this straight. Even with the billions squandered in Iraq, the silencing of procurement whistleblowers, the guilty pleas by some contracteors to kickbacks, and the fact that another $20B is estimated to get the electricity to pre-war levels despite what was spent...

Even with the new scandal in Texas, where $180K of taxpayer funds paid a republican lobbyist who then turned around and funneled $75K to republicans...

Even with the Medicare plan, republican from start to finish, where billions of extra funds are handed out to Big Pharma because govt is forbidden to negotiate good drug prices... and the rollout shows they put WAY more thought into making it a windfall for Big Pharma than actually delivering anything useful to taxpayers...

Even with countless examples big and small of republicans claiming victory with wasteful spending that benefits them politically while harming the rest of us fiscally...

Even with examples large and small, you STILL don't see any pattern at all?

Interesting. Very interesting.

"Name one person, name one right."

Are you unaware of the tossout of habeas corpus?

Good god the level of ignorance is astounding. Do you realize this country's independence was driven in part by the claim of habeas corpus???

Posted by: tubino on January 22, 2006 09:46 AM

"Name one person, name one right."

Right to privacy. Freedom from eavesdropping by the govt without warrant.

Admitted by the president. You might have heard of it.

Or not, you brainless moron.

Posted by: on January 22, 2006 09:52 AM

Thats the great thing about living in america persons like BELEFONTE can go rub elbows with known tyrants and open his mouth and prove he is a idiot

Posted by: spurwing plover on January 22, 2006 09:54 AM

Right to privacy. Freedom from eavesdropping by the govt without warrant.

I take your refering to Clinton doing an warrantless search on Aldrich Ames? Yea, I heard all about it. I heard Jamie Gorelick claim that the President did have the right to do warrantless searches which unless your a hopeless partisan more interested in politics than national security is really no different than doing a wiretap.

Surely you are aware that the FISA court has ruled that in fact Bush did have the power in time of war to do wireless wiretaps in certain cases. A news hound such as yourself undoubtedly knows this? Otherwise you would look kinda stupid calling other people names while your wrong on the facts. And we can't have that.

As to habeas corpus, sorry, tubino, the only habeas corpus case that has any relevance is the dirty bomber and other suspected enemy combatants. The same people, who if they were allowed to roam free and commit attrocities you would use as a club to beat the Bush administration's "incompetence.

I know you would like to fuzzy the truth and mean that the Bush storm troopers are throwing commies and war protesters in jail without cause or access to counsel. Sadly for you, it ain't true.

Posted by: JackStraw on January 22, 2006 10:22 AM

"Right to privacy."

That's funny, my copy of the Constitution doesn't say anything about that. And even if it did, note that the invented-from-whole-cloth "right" is used to uphold abortion-rights, sodomy and condom sales. Are you seriously suggesting that Bush has somehow banned the sale of condoms?

"Freedom from eavesdropping by the govt without warrant."

That's funny, my copy of the Constitution doesn't say anything about that. All I have is a "freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures" clause, which by definition doesn't apply to reasonable wiretaps of conversations to and from suspected terrorists. Not to mention to Clinton/Carter precedent in this regard.

And if anyone wants to mention habeas corpus, you might want to consult your Constitution to see if maybe the framers didn't include an exception in there. I know it's hard to actually read that document, but go ahead, give it a try.

Posted by: Sobek on January 22, 2006 11:47 AM

Still waiting....Blah, blah.....Can't do it can you? I can name 2 incidents of gov't overreaching. (1) Ruby Ridge and (2) Waco. Guess who was in charge then? On a related topic.... Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? Janet Reno is her father!

There was fear aplenty. But the truth is, a lot of the panic Americans saw on television was performative. The throngs of people along Convention Center Boulevard sat patiently in the broiling weather, five or six deep in folding chairs on the sidewalk, waiting for something, someone, to arrive. Then, a television crew or photographer would show up, and people would pour into the street, falling on their knees, screaming and gesticulating to the camera. It was an awful situation, obviously, but when the camera wasn't on them, it was remarkable how patient and orderly everyone was.

Elric the Blade says he's no longer sure that Trump will have the right to appeal in the NY fraud case:
Yesterday, I thought that Trump had an appeal as of right on the fraud liability, based upon news reports that cited the second opinion as declining to find in favor of liability. That would give Trump at least 2 dissenting judges for an appeal as of right.
But now, after seeing the actual decisions, I'm not so sure. Sorry, guys. I've never seen or heard of what the second opinion did. They dissented, but ... decided not to dissent? I'm not sure what the effect is in terms of whether Trump has a right to appeal. I doubt anyone does.
I think even if Trump doesn't have a right of appeal, the Court of Appeals (NY's highest court) will take the case. But ... it's a liberal court so who knows how they'll rule. I have the docket number so I can track what gets appealed to the Court of Appeals. If Trump wants to appeal, I think he might file an appeal as of right and a petition for permission to appeal. His lawyers know this case much better than I, but even they might know what the effect of all the opinions are.
I don't think they'll take the appeal. Judges are lazy and cowardly and will duck any hot potato case they can. These judges are also liberal hacks, and do not want to deliver Trump a full victory.
