None of those three ever order the murders of opponents, as Mandela his repeatedly, often via savage necklacing.

Did Obama mention that Mandela was an America-hating Communist?

What’s with this inequality kick Obama is on now? We keep hearing we need to fight income inequality.

Why?

I’m in favor of people who do dirty or more difficult jobs getting paid more than hired help at fast food places.

I’m in favor of highly skilled people such as neurosurgeons earning more than hotel maids.

Send me to re education camp right now. I’m clearly not with it in the era of Obama.......

I'll bet Obama is luxuriating in the adoration of the no-information crowds in South Africa.

Too bad that in his own country he can only deliver speeches before hand-picked audiences in safe havens such union halls, the estate homes of Hollywood moguls, small townhall meetings, ghetto churches, kindergarten classrooms, the campuses of academia....plus the Rose Garden, of course.

Anywhere else, he'd be booed off the dais while dodging shoes and tomatos.

I assume you meant the external anal sphincter...since there are many other sphincters of the body, of which, the mouth is one.

There’s a lot of that going around these days. People at my work give me strange looks when I talk about what a monster this guy really was.

Mandela was both - some of the stuff he did was heroic - - like fighting apartheid. That was an evil system. His support of communism was horrible... his first wife was a monster. Mandela fought the good fight then stepped in with 'redistribution' - which never works - and for all practical purposes destroyed the country.

I suspect American liberals fawn over him because he's the Hollywood version of what a black man is suppose to be...

“Anyone with a half a brain knows why 0 and his fabulous MSM are promoting Mandela to make him look like the Communist Messiah - he’s black and he’s Communist and going to be used to promote socialism. 0 and his minions will rewrite his history denying the atrocious crimes he committed against humanity.”

I see why fellow commies would be promoting Mandela, but why is this guy?:

“Nelson Mandela will live in history as an inspiration for defenders of liberty around the globe. He stood firm for decades on the principle that until all South Africans enjoyed equal liberties he would not leave prison himself, declaring in his autobiography, ‘Freedom is indivisible; the chains on any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my people were the chains on me.’ Because of his epic fight against injustice, an entire nation is now free. We mourn his loss and offer our condolences to his family and the people of South Africa.” Ted Cruz

Cruz is a pretty smart guy. Are we missing something?
