Former President Bill Clinton shared an anecdote regarding Nelson Mandela and the aftermath of his impeachment Friday on CNN.
Clinton revealed shortly after the impeachment business finished on Capitol Hill, Rep. Henry Hyde (R., Ill.) who managed the impeachment trial requested a meeting at the White House.
The former president granted the meeting out of lessons of humility and forgiveness he learned from Mandela, he said:
BILL CLINTON: I remember one day, oh, about a month after the whole impeachment business was over...

Exactly. “Forgiving” people for doing what they should have done rather than something they should not have done is a new one.
They had a lot in common. Bill had Hillary, Mandela had Winnie.
Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all. ~William Temple
Is this another one of those Clinton “burning black churches” myths?
And three of my friends would have survived 9/11/2001.
Really? He was impeached on charges of a sex scandal? Try again. Do some research first.
Its so gratifying to hear that he’s forgiven us. Barf!
You came aboard here in early 1999; me--end of 1998. Those were heady days. FR was a trove of information going back to 1996 connecting all kinds of dots on both Clintons.
Hey Bubba, you break the speed limit law and you get a ticket, but then you blame the cop? Oh c’mon now. You were responsible for your impeachment so there’s nobody to forgive.
Clinton's perjury and obstruction of justice was done to cover up his own sexual misconduct, when everyone knew he had a record of infidelity and he could have easily have weathered it all coming out...unlike Hyde, who had a very clean reputation and had more to lose.
humm wonder if Mandela called Juanita Broadwich and asked her to forgive Bill Clinton for raping her??
and did Bill just forget he did that to her??? this guy has a past that is going to help haunt Hillary in 2016
What did Nelson Mandela have to forgive? He was never tortured, and he deserved a death penalty for his actions. He got away with murder.
Gee Slick Willy, maybe it was the fact that you put your damn pecker into anything that moved that got you impeached..or the fact that you LIED about it and are a rapist..no different than Mike Tyson except Tyson went to jail
Are you implying that Clinton was impeached on charges unrelated to the Paula Jones sex harassment lawsuit?
Lying to the legislature about getting blowjobs in the presidential mansion is specifically exempted from the statutes in South Africa.
WINNIE MANDELA NECKLASE
The “Winnie Mandela necklace” unfortunately has nothing to do with jewelry, it is a cruel and gruesome way of executing people and was used during Apartheid by the ANC and others their own black brothers & sisters who were suspected of being friendly to whites.
ANC ‘freedom-fighters’ and ‘liberators’ would take black people and hack off their hands or tie them behind the person’s back with barbed wire. Then a gasoline-filled tyre would be set alight around the victim’s (”traitor’s”) neck and they would slowly and very painfully burn to death.
The following video shows a necklacing towards the end (not for sensitive viewers):

Winnie Mandela famously screamed to thousands at a large open-air rally in 1985/86: “with our matches and necklaces, we’ll liberate this country!”, implying that those who do not take the ANC’s side will be burnt alive. Such threats by Winnie Mandela could very well be considered terrorism against the very people she claimed to intend liberating.
Exiled members of the ANC were taught about necklacings and torture techniques at terror-training camps in places like Angola (eg. Camp Quatro) and Mozambique.

The spectre of necklacing showed its ugly head again in 2008 when foreign blacks, mostly Somali, Zimbabwean and other refugees were being set alight by their brothers and sisters in what was called ‘the 2008 xenophobic attacks’.

(Slogans such as “one rope, one sellout”, “one bullet, one white baby” and “kill the boer (white/farmer)” are still heard in SA today. In fact, a case of genocide has been made against 12 or 13 SA leaders, including the President (Jacob Zuma) and the ANC Youth League President, Julius Malema. According to the Rome Convention, incitement to commit genocide is also a punishable offence and the ANC has launched several appeals against court decisions that “kill the boer” is “hate speech” and “incitement to commit genocide”. The matter is being investigated by the ICC in The Hague. Shortly before the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa, Winnie Mandela’s staff was in the news for threatening a gun-store owner, and saying: “July 12 all whites will be killed.”)
Since the invention of Winnie’s necklaces, there have also been necklacings in Brazilian favelas (slums) from time to time.
