Harry Belafonte Suggests President Should Jail Opponents "Like a Third World Dictator"

Welcome back to the news cycle, Harry

What do you do when it has been a while since you made headlines? If you are Harry Belafonte, apparently you say the president should jail Republicans.

The American singer-songwriter, once considered the "Kind of Calypso," this week ignited outrage – and plenty of eye rolls – after speaking with MSNBC's Al Sharpton and saying President Obama should rule like a third-world dictator and toss his GOP opponents behind bars.

"That there should be this lingering infestation of really corrupt people who sit trying to dismantle the wishes of the people, the mandate that has been given to Barack Obama, and I don't know what more they want," he said. "The only thing left for Barack Obama to do is to work like a third world dictator and just put all these guys in jail."
