Newsweek & The Daily Beast’s John Avlon interviews the spirited Barron in his East New York campaign headquarters.
Mugabe is a known racist and bigot who is absolutely destroying his country. Just what we need in a congressman!
Please don’t even comment on this
This is not in the least bit ironic, since I have no feeling for Charles Barron (this is only because it is not healthy to counsel hatred). Secondly, there is a palpabe reason why Barron liked the Arab “Palestinians” and is fond of Hugo Chavez. And that is because he is in no uncertain terms -unmitigated evil.
I don’t see why he should have any feelings just like I don’t have much feelings for many other countries. The problem, however, is that he does have feelings for the Palestinians. Unless he’s muslim, he must be a big antisemite.
Whatever you might think about his politics, and most readers on this site would likely disagree strongly, he certainly seems willing to speak his mind and not try to spin his views for his audience or moderate his positions until after the election. I’d rather know a candidate’s real beliefs, rather than having them come out of the closet after the election. Unfortunately, given the demographics of this new district, according to recent polls, he looks almost certain to win the primary.
Big deal, I have no feelings for Charles Barron!
This is the true face of Blacks in the U.S. I hope all the liberals will pay attentions.
As a member of DC 37, I am absolutely ashamed that my union endorsed this man. The leadership of this union is taking it in a very scary direction. Charles Barron is a very hateful person and supports the actions of horrible dictators and mass murderers.
The Jewish members of DC 37 must condemn this.
Why would anyone care what this loser “feels”?? And no this is not the face of the the black man. And he is not speaking his feelings and being truthful, he has a lot of Muslim blacks and plain Muslims in his district, therefore this statement appeals to them.
Certainly Charley is taking the nk vote.
It will be a disaster if he is elected
u can see on the video that he’s a frustrated,angry man.y’mach shmo v’zichro!
has new york reached the point that their are enough moslems eligible to vote that a candidate can run on an official platform against israel??
if the answer is yes
we should all make sure our passports are valid just in case
call me an alarmist or pessimist but the honeymoon cant last forever
