Belafonte speaks out

Harry Belafonte, American patriot, speaks his mind in a radio interview. In addition to calling the Secretary of State an Uncle Tom and suggesting that the Attorney General is a reincarnation of Joe McCarthy, Belafonte, unsurprisingly, just loves the U.N. As reported by Matt Drudge:

Belafonte also sang the praises of the United Nations as a pillar of global democracy, and decried President Bush for failing to attend the UN World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa earlier this year.

“There were tens of thousands of peoples and leaders from all over the world gathered to discuss the issue of race. It was an honorable arena… But by not showing up, by sticking it to the government of Nelson Mandela… It was a dark page on our foreign policy.”
