Well, Sen. Harry Reid is, sure, but I mean Harry Belafonte.
NEW YORK - Entertainer Harry Belafonte, one of the Bush administration's harshest critics, compared the national Homeland Security department to the Gestapo and attacked the president as a liar during a fiery Saturday speech.
"We've come to this dark time in which the Gestapo of Homeland Security lurks here, where citizens are having their rights suspended," Belafonte told thousands of people at the annual meeting of the Arts Presenters Members Conference.
Yeah, the Gestapo. I guess President Chimpy Bushitler's next move, by that logic, will be to round up Mr. Belafonte and send him to the extermination camp. Oops, sorry, I forgot I wasn't supposed to mention that - the camp is secret, known only to us fascist right wing extremists. Shhh, don't tell anyone, okay?
He acknowledged that the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks demanded a reaction by the United States, but charged that the policies of the Bush administration were not the right response
Bush, he said, was a president "who has risen to power somewhat dubiously and ... then lies to the people of this nation, misleads them, misinstructs, and then sends off hundreds of thousands of our own boys and girls to a foreign land that has not aggressed against us."
Mr. Belafonte hit for the lunatic left cycle in this rant. He a) compared the US to Nazi Germany, and by extension Bush to Hitler, b) accused bush of lying, misleading and misinstructing - all three! c) repeats the "we weren't attacked" charge that shows no comprehension whatsoever of the nature of the war on terrorism and its sponsors, and d) throws in the stolen election nonsense for good measure. You know, the one for which no proof has ever been unearthed.
There's just something about Harry ...
Well, he's just another guy that sounds like Osama.
