So from what I had heard on NPR and CNN Harry Belafonte seemed to come off kind of like a left wing nut. But when you give him some time to talk (and use Wolf Blitzer as an idiotic sounding board) he comes off as a very intelligent and inspiring speaker. What I like best about Harry is that he doesn’t take one thing back. Unlike most idiots in the public sphere that are constantly saying stupid shit and then taking it back *cough* Pat Robertson *cough*, Harry pulls no punches and freely admits to saying everything he said. He seems truly genuine when he says that he is trying steer the conversation towards what no one is talking about. Namely how we are being fucked over by our government and how we are heading towards a fascist state.
