Conservatives have made projection into a fine art, and a multi-billion dollar industry.

[Joe Molotov]

Conservatives lecturing Obama about resentment. 

[Phoenix Dark]

The projection industry can't stop won't stop

[Great Rumbler]

It should come as no surprise that she and Barack have no clue about America's reverence for, nor reference to, our flag, or that both want to eliminate all memorials and ceremonies commemorating the 9/11 attacks.

And as Snopes points out, lip-reading is not an exact science:

That Game of Thrones vid is pretty much the best thing I've seen all week.

bets on how hard his dick must be right now, imagining that Obummer will send the feds to forcibly lower the flag

He does know that the President's "order" isn't an actual like law or something he has to follow right?

[Brehvolution]

Old ties to interests opposite of what Mandela stood for are coming out of the woodwork.

Obama is a communist dictator, who knows what he really wants? Fight the power, brother.

[benjipwns]

Well yeah, I know that and I fight against the Kenyan Usurper every day including in my sleep, but I just want someone to make sure the sheriff is doing this for publicity and not out of ignorance of the law. (What little rule of it we have left.) Since he's the sheriff and all.

[Phoenix Dark]

As Americans we celebrate the farmers at Lexington and Concord who used force to oppose British tyranny. We praise George Washington for spending eight years in the field fighting the British Army’s dictatorial assault on our freedom.

Patrick Henry said, “Give me liberty or give me death.”

Thomas Jefferson wrote and the Continental Congress adopted that “all men are created equal, and they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Doesn’t this apply to Nelson Mandela and his people?

Some conservatives say, ah, but he was a communist.

Actually Mandela was raised in a Methodist school, was a devout Christian, turned to communism in desperation only after South Africa was taken over by an extraordinarily racist government determined to eliminate all rights for blacks.

I would ask of his critics: where were some of these conservatives as allies against tyranny? Where were the masses of conservatives opposing Apartheid? In a desperate struggle against an overpowering government, you accept the allies you have just as Washington was grateful for a French monarchy helping him defeat the British.

It's nice that Newt occasionally says something intelligent and thoughtful once in a while, to really highlight his willful stupidity on everything else.

[Brehvolution]

I'm guessing they were praising white control over black people. The same people who call him a communist and murderer now are the same people who believed conservatives back then saying Mandela was a communist and murderer.

[Himu]

Wasn't Mandela a devout Christian?

[Mandark]

Wasn't Mandela a devout Christian?

He may have claimed to be, but would a real Christian go for 27 years without stepping foot in a church?

[Himu]

Ah, so the political Christian. Doesn't make that guys argument right though.

[Mandark]

(I was talking about the 27 years he spent in prison)

[Momo]

Nelson was in this prison at some stage

[Himu]

(I was talking about the 27 years he spent in prison)

Again, political Christian. Anyone who doesn't have the time to visit the chapel while in prison is a fool.

[benjipwns]

Do we even know for sure that Mandela was ever even in prison? I mean it's awful convenient that his "story" just happens to line up with what the academic Marxist elite want us to believe. How do we know he wasn't palling around with Bill Ayers and screaming "GOD DAMN AMERICA" while he was supposedly in "prison"?

[Great Rumbler]

I mean, was Nelson Mandela really even born in South Africa? Seems suspiciously convenient, if you ask me.

[Broseidon]

[Joe Molotov]

lol, that reminds me of

[Momo]

Had an idiot seriously ask me "how do they even know what he is signing in xhosa?"

The schizophrenic South African sign language interpreter who said he hallucinated during Nelson Mandela’s memorial on Tuesday reportedly has an extensive criminal record, including murder, rape and kidnapping charges.

According to South African news network eNCA, Thamsanqa Jantjie has “faced rape (1994), theft (1995), housebreaking (1997), malicious damage to property (1998), murder, attempted murder and kidnapping (2003) charges.”

Despite his record, the station said it was not clear whether Jantjie has ever served time in prison, as “many of the charges brought against him were dropped, allegedly because he was mentally unfit to stand trial.”

Even more bizarrely, it was not clear whether the murder charge against Jantjie from 2003 was ever properly resolved because the court file against him is “mysteriously empty,” eNCA reported.
