| Hillary Clinton Praises Belafonte's Anti-US Rant |
| 2005-09-24 |
| Yep, she's a 'centrist' like I'm a pro bike racer. 2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton praised anti-American activist Harry Belafonte on Thursday after Belafonte charged that U.S. foreign policy had "wrecked the planet." It's that damn Halliburton earthquake machine... "There's a lot of people out here who are really pissed off," Belafonte told the Congressional Black Caucus, with Mrs. Clinton and Rep. Charlie Rangel standing nearby. I'm pissed, too - having to read this dreck every other day. "Our foreign policy has made a wreck of this planet," Belafonte complained. "I'm always in Africa . . . And when I go to these places I see American policy written on the walls of oppression everywhere." Do us a favor, Harry - the next time you're in Africa, stay there. The former calypso singer's anti-U.S. rant won immediate praise from Hillary, who stepped up to the microphone and told the crowd: "What Harry said is so important." Interesting choice of word, 'important', not 'right' or 'wrong'... In quotes aired nationally by radio host Rush Limbaugh, Clinton explained that in last year's presidential election, "we heard a lot . . . about moral values. And you know as well as I do that there's a big move on to get people to forget that it's not only private morality, but public morality that needs to be looked at and considered." Right up there with "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good", freakin' socialist. Hillary then charged that the Bush administration had made "a concerted effort to make it even harder for poor people and non-English-speaking people and elderly people to vote in this country." Yeah, those minor inconveniences like identification. Clinton was followed to the podium by Rep. Rangel, who wasted no time in disparaging President Bush as a racist. Since he's one himself... "George Bush is our 'Bull' Connor," Rangel railed. "And if that doesn't get to you, nothing will be able to get to you, and it's time for us to be able to say that we're sick and tired and we're fired up and we're not going to take it anymore!" YEEEAAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!! Mrs. Clinton offered no objection to the president of the United States being compared to one of America's most notorious racists. Not in front of this crowd... |

| #9 Harry needs to tell us specific American policy has hurt Africa more than internal corruption. |

| #8 Hillary then charged that the Bush administration had made "a concerted effort to make it even harder for poor people and non-English-speaking people and elderly people to vote in this country." She forgot the core Democrat constituencies of the dead and fictional people. |

| #3 Democrats haven't tumbled to the fact that the era of throw-away lines is over. You can't say something overwhelmingly stupid to pander to an audience without it being recorded and broadcast to the rest of us. Hillary has sold herself too many times to too many different groups to have a real shot at leading the nation. Despite an enabling MSM, her own words will bring her down. |
