Boxing Promoter Don King: 'bush Is A Revolutionary'...

BOXING PROMOTER DON KING: 'BUSH IS A REVOLUTIONARY' Wed Dec 14 2005 19:23:37 ET CNN, THE SITUATION ROOM 4:00 PM EST WOLF BLITZER, HOST: Don king is known worldwide as a big-time boxing promoter. But has also taken some new fights on recently... You love George Bush? DON KING; I love George Walker Bush because I think he's a revolutionary. He's a president that comes in with conclusiveness. What they're doing in tomorrow in Iraq is a demonstration of that for the vote for democracy. The fundamental process of democracy is freedom of speech, law and order, being able to have freedom, working with people and working and governing yourselves. George Bush is that. He included in... BLITZER: Do you have any regrets supporting him? Take a look at that picture when you and I were there at the diner last year. Do you have any regrets supporting him as enthusiastically as you did? KING: No, I don't. In fact, I want to support him more now because it seems like everybody is punching him. You know what I mean? But he's fighting back, and he's throwing great combinations. And I think he's the guy that is really a revolutionary president. I think he's a president that cares about the people he represents, but doesn't compromise himself to the extent that he acquiesce and accommodate. He goes out there and says like it is, and tries to make things better. Inclusiveness, education, is fighting for that. These are the things that many guys that don't fight for -- George Walker Bush is a tremendous advocate to America, a great president for the great American people, and he's decisive. He's doesn't equivocate. END http://www.drudgereport.com/flash9.htm

Don King's endorsement of George Bush is the kick back payment of Bush's raids on King's head rival, Bob Arum and Top Rank Inc. In Bush's first term, he targetted Top Rank for numerous malfiesances with the handling of several fighters, including Reggie Strickland and Yori Boy Campas. Yori Boy was denied a substantial sum of his purse against De La Hoya, whereas Reggie Strickland was paid on many occassions to take dives against big name Arum-promoted fighters. In a related instance, Butterbean was also targetted as having been involved in fight fixing scandals as well.

neils7147933 good post...I am for people changing opinons/ideas, or "evolving" in their opinions/ideas based on new information or circumstances, but Bush and his people call this "Flip-Flop", so in this case he is a hypocrite.

The sad thing is that the Bush camp plays up King's endorsement of him, thinking that they will earn them more support among African-Americans. As if any African-American looks up to Don King, lol. The sadder thing is all a democrat has to do to get black votes is say I am a democrat and denounce any republican and say the republican hates blacks haha. works everytime.
