I pray for the people of Zimbabwe to overthrow, and hopefully hang, this vicious commie cannibal, and his henchmen....

I agree.

My watchwords have become

Pity About Africa
Pray for Rhodesia

The usual suspects on the Left who were swift to denounce and undermine white minority rule are strangely silent and absent, aren't they?

Let's add the banner ( and feel free to copy it ):

AfricaWatch: for AfricaWatch articles.

RE: 'the usual suspects on the left.."

Their implicitly racist attitude in this regard, namely, that this is the best Africans can do, is intellectually and morally despicable.

Failing to hold African leaders to the same standards as other humans is degrading and contemptuous of human dignity.

But...the left are largely scum; who seriously expects anything better from them?

Not me.

Unless from the WP or the LAT, please post the entire article. The links posted are temporary. If one were to pull this thread from the archives later, the posts to it would be meaningless because the original article would be unavailable.

If you don't care about the logic, just do it because Jim Robinson wants you to. In his comments on 11/27/1999 are these words:

Our chosen vehicle for dissent is to use the media's own words against them. We post their propaganda pieces and then our readers tear them apart and expose the lies and corruption within. It's also interesting to document how the lying liberal press covers events compared to other, less biased sources and it's even more interesting to see it weeks, months or years later when the truth is finally known.

This is why it is important to post articles in their entirety. Many of the media sites remove their articles within a few days of release and in some cases, even the next day. We've even caught the media changing stories by the hour to make them seem less damaging to the government or to certain protected politicians. The media is part of the enemy and thus cannot be trusted.

Do you get it? Or do you just not give a crap.
