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.

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?

Posted by: CraigC on January 21, 2006 09:43 PM

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

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

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?

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!

-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.


Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
