Story here.

Belafonte is a has-been, we all know that. Few really care what this guy thinks about the price of tea in China, much less political issues. But the reason Belafonte is front-and-center is that he is intricately connected with the faction of the left that has taken over the Democratic party in this country (the extreme left, Moore and Co.). He's also a big buddy of NY's favorite, Hillary Clinton.

This, coupled with Jimmy Carter's recent diatribe, insinuating that "sometimes...we must negotiate with terrorists..." shows us just how far off the beaten path this party has really gone.

Surely you couldn't have missed Belafonte standing beside our sworn enemy, Hugo Chavez, just a week ago proclaiming W "The world's biggest terrorist..." and other nonsense?

So I'll just chalk it up to obfuscation.

When you look at the changes being made in America you invariably notice the similiarities between Germany in the 1930's and America post 9-11.
Some of these include:
The naming of a threat so evil and powerful that any action is justified:
eg Jews, Communists versus Terrorists.
The belief that one man should be given power to rule absolutely to end the threat.
eg Hitler, Bush
The belief that it is patriotic to relinquish civil liberties to fight the threat:
eg Nuremburg laws, Patriot Act
The US versus Them philosophy that you are either for or against us there is no middle:
eg Poland, France
The belief that the truth is unimportant in political debate:
eg Goebbles, Rove
The belief that overwhelming military superiorty is the only way to protect yourself:
eg Speer, the Military Industrial Complex
You can go on and on.
So it is no wonder that Belafonte makes the mistake of using a single government agency instead of the political ideology which is the real enemy we are facing.
Some call it neo-conservatism. I call it neo-Fascism.

Thanks for reinforcing the topic summary.

Care to show me where the US has ever setup concentration camps and committed mass genocide?

You might do good to read up on Fascism before spouting talking points.

Haha, I don't know where you come up with this stuff, I hope you didn't waste your time typing that out...

Looks like a chain e-mail don't it?

So instead of arguing against the speeches points you decide to attack the people who make them, typical!

Come back when you have done 1/100 as much as either one of those men you attempt to belittle.

Yet another clear example of the wrong way to argue a point.

you do a great service to educators around the country. Classic example of using fallacy after fallacy to "win" an argument.

hell you use the very same fallacious tactics (obfuscation, diversion, faulty generalizations, meaningless statements, leading questions, etc etc etc ad nausem ) over and over again to "win" your argument. Whats even more pathetic, is that you called someone out in this very thread over fallacious tactics (obfuscation) and the VERY next post you commit the exact same logical fallacy.

worthless. I point all this out to you to so that you can see that you are so full of crap, and no one is buying it.

You might actually have a valid point about Belafonte, but since your statements and arguments are so logically unsound and fallacious, no one can take you seriously.

So nobody cares about this guy, but somehow he is an indication of how "off the beaten path" an entire party has gone? Or wait, you had Jimmy Carter there too. My bad, well then the Dems are almost certainly in the thrall of extremists. Just a hint though, attempting to prove a generality with a few examples almost always makes you look like an idiot.

By the way, the official short name for the Department of Homeland Security is DHS, not DOHS.

Well evidently you care since you're posting about him.

Not agreeying with the post, but from what I have studied, the concentration camps did not pop up overnight, but came slowly among other changes.

LOL, the Republican party is mired in scandal after scandal (even treason!), is being led around by a puppet of Constitution-hating president, but the real story is how far off the beaten path the Dems are! Of course!

Does Belafonte represent anyone in this matter? Does he hold any sway with the American public at all? Does anyone give a rat's ass what a washed up singer thinks?

Nope. Just more Fox-esque input from the GOP noise machine, desperately trying to insulate the public from news that actually matters and affects their lives. *yawn* Pathetic. :disgust:
