Not that it matters but has Belafonte ever elaborated on why he thinks Powell is a "tragic failure"?

BS, there's been tons of mud flung since this place came into existence. Maybe your skin is just getting a little thin.
maybe, maybe not, but it has definetly increased over the years

LOL! Uhh . . . no.

I guess you don't remember the days of Conan, NWM, GUTB, etc.
oh yes I do.. except that conan guy
the difference from now and then is that before there used to be just a very few members who "discussed" these things by trashtalking everyone who didnt agree with them but mostly the discussions were more mature, lately there has been alot more trashtalking than ever before. Remember that unwritten rule that was obviosly in place for most of the people who were apart of those discussions, dont trashtalk others unless they do it first and dont smack down other people who have not taken apart of that particular discussion, I hardly ever see any of that anymore here.

That is an easy one to answer. He does not share the same views as Harry and rather than engage him in a debate about their differences Harry engages in racial invective. Clarence Thomas' critics have been using the same language regarding him ever since he was placed on the Supreme Court.

I'd vote for Powell in a heartbeat. Could be interesting in 2008 if Powell ran against Hillary.

Belafonte is a hasbeen. He has some nerve throwing a shot like that to a man like Colin Powell,it's disgraceful. What a skumbag.

You are very anti-American and it gets very old.You want to complain about all the wrong the US does without any rebuttal. When someone does offer a rebuttal you are too thin skinned to take it.

If you think me a blind red and blue blooded patriot, let be first to show you the door.

LOL!!!! Revisionist history at it's finest!!!!

Yeah, what happened to the good old days here where no one ever flamed anyone else? We used to all frolick in the tall grass, loving each other, it was great.......until those goddamned fscking Americans showed up and ran this place into the ground.
