I don’t know if Mr. Belafonte has any political aspirations but if he does he would have my complete support. It is unfortunate that so many of our “leaders” in the Democratic party are such spineless wastes when it comes to speaking out against the criminals who are running this country like it was their own personal Mafia family. It became glaringly obvious to me many years ago (1994 to be exact) that the days of collegial bi-partisanship in government was dead. The Republicans made it clear that their win at all costs strategy and total disregard for the working class and the poor (and the truth) would not tolerate opposing ideas or opinions. Since the start of the so-called “Republican Revolution” and the horribly misnamed “Contract With America” (it should have been more aptly called “The Contract On America”) these corrupt, rich, self-serving crooks have used every means at their disposal to defame, discredit and outright lie about their political opponents to continue to win re-election. And they haven’t just used what Al Franken calls the tactic of “Fear, Smears and Queers” against Democrats. Look at the 2000 campaign and the Karl Rove engineered swift-boating of John McCain in South Carolina. After the resignation of Nixon the zealots were furious and swore revenge. And slowly, over time, they built a propaganda machine that would have made Hermann Goering green with envy. Think tanks funded by ultra-right wealthy elite (Project For A New American Century, American Enterprise Institute and the Heritage Foundation). People like Richard Mellon Scaife and Rupert Murdoch. They began to poison airwaves and the print media with the likes of Rush Limbaugh and David Horowitz and have now morphed into the mainstream media with the entire Fox network and so-called journalists like Tim Russert and Chris Matthews. Considering the Puritan frenzy that Republicans whipped themselves into over the lies Bill Clinton told about a blow job, I can only imagine what a state they would be in if this were a Democratic President committing seriously illegal acts and trampling all over the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Right after the impeachment, they would be turning him (or her) over to the International Criminal Court (suitably bound and gagged of course) to stand trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity! It is time for Democrats to give up this fantasy of joining hands across the aisle with the neo-cons and singing a rousing chorus of “Kumbaya”. The Republicans have become street-fighters while the Dems are still abiding by the Marquis of Queensbury rules of politics, this has to end. It’s time for the glove to come off, actually it’s long overdue.

I too am appalled at the lies, crimes, butchering, murdering, stealing, revenging, disgusting acts of this administration.  I am ashamed to be an American. I am ashamed of the actions that this country has taken to achieve its selfish, murdering goals. I am ashamed of and have great anguish for my country.  George W. Bush is killing us and what we used to stand for.
Impeachment is much too good for him and his band of narrow minded ideologues.
There is no avenue for Americans to stop this incredible downward spiral.  The press has abandoned the truth, the congress has abandoned it’s principals and the constitution.  We are a country on the brink of imploding with evil. It is no wonder other countries hate us.  We are the problem.  We are also the terrorists. Most Americans feel what I say and know what I mean. We are no longer a democracy by the people for the people.  We have no checks, no balances, no voice.
Thank you very much for destroying America, George Bush, the worst, most ignorant, incompetent President ever in the history of the world.
I grieve,

I saw Mr. Belafonte on CNN being interviewed by Wolf Blitzer and was very impressed with how Mr. Belafonte handled himself.  Blitzer tried every cheap trick in the book to set Harry up to look like a kook, but Harry was very skillful and stayed on message.  He did a great job and pulled no punches in his view of the Bush Administration’s mishandleing of pretty much everything.  I wish we had politicians with this kind of courage.  People who were not so concerned with protecting their political asses.

THANK YOU , MR BELAFONTE, OUR LOCAL PAPER EXCORIATED YOU IN AN EDITORIAL . I PRAISE AND HONOR YOU . I CAN ONLY ECHO WHAT YOU SAID

Yes sir!
Over 2300 Americans died and 10’s of thousands of Iraqis dead.  What the hell is the U.S. military doing in another country? Killing people in their own country!
The neo-cons did this as an alliance of extreme right wing left over cold war warriors and the jewish-israeli lobby.
America’s soldiers, sons and daughters dying young and getting maimed while the neo-cons are enjoying life and planning continuing decision making for the American family, which is getting shafted.
Perle, Kagan, Feith, Wolfowitz; where are they and why do we pay them to send our boys to die?
