Harry Belafonte - true to the message of MLK
I finally got to see that video clip of Belafonte and Blitzer. What a great man! Moral integrity and consistency of message at once. What a tremendous voice and one that is badly needed now.

1. Its ashame how they like to "Swift Boat" anyone with strong voice!
Anyone one that doesn't agree with their way of thinking, will be made to seem like a lunatic. And, they constantly get away with it. Harry Belafonte, for years, has been fighting injustices, and he was looked at as being a great person. But, the minute he speaks out against this administration, he is under attack. I hear different RW talk show host calling him all different types of names. It is truly ashame!

2. I despise these quotes :-)
"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." - Herman Goering, Nuremberg
