Bush derided as terrorist :: Detroit Free Press

Quote:

Singer and activist Harry Belafonte called President George W. Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world" on Sunday and said millions of Americans support the socialist revolution of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Belafonte led a delegation of Americans including actor Danny Glover and Princeton University scholar Cornel West that met the Venezuelan president for more than six hours late Saturday. Some in the group attended Chavez's TV and radio broadcast Sunday.

"No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush says, we're here to tell you: Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of the American people ... support your revolution," Belafonte told Chavez during the broadcast.

If American leftists want to be taken seriously and have influence, they must disassociate themselves from these ignorant and dangerous crackpots.
