Keep on Talking

I could almost feel sorry for the progressive left. As if Howard Dean wasn't enough... they have this...

Harry Belafonte Calls Black Republicans 'Tyrants'

Celebrity activist Harry Belafonte referred to prominent African-American officials in the Bush administration as "black tyrants" at a weekend march, and he also compared the administration to Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany.

Of course, Belafonte said this at Saturday's march in Atlanta commemorating the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Voting Rights Act. As a featured speaker, Belafonte was almost as inspiring as he was in 2002 when he likened then-Secretary of State Colin Powell to a "house slave."

But wait! There's more:

Civil rights activist Dick Gregory almost outdid Belafonte with his trashing of the United States, calling it "the most dishonest, ungodly, unspiritual nation that ever existed in the history of the planet."

I say almost, because Belafonte still stole the show with this gem...

When asked specifically who was a "black tyrant" in the Bush administration, Belafonte responded to this reporter, "You." When this reporter noted that he was a Caucasian and attempted to ask another question, Belafonte abruptly ended the interview by saying, "That's it."

Yep. That's it.

Gotta love them progressive democrats.
