"I’m not all that interested in figuring which is worse - apartheid, Cuba, or the current lawless regime in the US. They are ALL bad, bad, bad, and need to be opposed by freedom-loving people."

That was the whole point of my first post on this thread, re: moral relativism. Evil is evil.

Then I agree.

I think the author may have been trying to build on the world empathy with Mandela’s life experiences, to say that there are people suffering worse and longer right under our noses and the media (and our current regime) overlooks it. The hypocrisy is deafening.

And I also agree with that.

I believe the regime overlooks it because Obama’s puppet-masters have always intended to make America another Cuba or Iran, and the media folks overlook it because they are either communist-sympathizing lapdogs who self-censor or threatened into silence.
