"Mister" as my mother would call him or Danny Glover his real name, has made a big stir in politics this week. Just today he attended a luncheon with presidential hopeful Senator John Edwards and mainstream media is outraged. Reason being... Glover has befriended President Hugo Chavez of Venezula, who in case you've been living under a rock for the past few years, is anti-Bush amd even called Bush "the devil" and has recently gone to great lengths to control the media outlets in his country. Chavez is funding Glover's 2 films; one being a film about Hatian Revolutionary leader, Toussaint Louverture, which obviously would not have been supported by Hollywood. Glover has received $18 million dollars from Chavez to produce the films.
Mainstream media including the hosts of Hannity and Colmes are labeling Danny Glover, along with Harry Belafonte and others as anti-Americans, individuals without American pride and a disgrace to this country. It is Anti-American to not defend our leader or befriend one who despises our government however, it is American to deny citizens of this country many inalienable rights. Go figure.
