Conservatives have been referring to Nelson Mandela as a terrorist. He wasn't a terrorist-- He exercised the right to bear arms that we Americans hold dear, and militarized the ANC after non-violence was met with brutality by the apartheid government. They attacked infrastructure which is sabotage not terrorism.
It wasn't until 2 decades after Mandela was imprisoned that Umkhonto we Sizwe bombed civilians
Armed revolt isn't terrorism. If Nelson Mandela was a terrorist, so was George Washington.
Yes but their Cuban identity is what made them protest Mandela in Miami --- not their Americanness which counts only for the nice easy life they have here. You cannot judge Americans or claim Americans protested because a bunch of Miami Cubans protested him.
malamute, your thoughts on your fellow conservatives and the poor response towards mandela? fair to group all conservatives the way the majority are responding on here?
Poor response? He's a leader of another country is all --- we don't worship the president of Spain or Italy, there is nothing special about South Africa. It's more ho-hum I think of a response.
Really why is the death of Mandela such a big deal? He was quite old for one, sick for a long time, his days were over. Just like Hugo Chavez and soon Fidel Castro.

Come on Mal...these were Conservative Republican Americans. You can't turn them into Cubans for convenience in an argument.

You guys sure as hell worship Netanyahu. And I mean that literally.
Sometimes I think conservatives genuflect at his image when no one is looking.
You should try not living the life of one then, it's amazing how free you would feel.
