Bad Harry “Pitbullafonte”

Harry Belafonte, was hugely successful in his career as a performer. The 79-year-old Belafonte, famous for his calypso-inspired music, made headlines during a recent trip to Venezuela as a so-called good-will Ambassador.

Instead, he spoke out venomously against the United States. This ingrate, high-school dropout used his fame and notoriety to stand on a podium, shoulder to shoulder with Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez, and call president George W. Bush “the greatest terrorist in the world.” Belafonte also said, millions of Americans support the socialist revolution of Chávez, a high profile Bush opponent.
