Nelson Mandela was on the U.S. terrorist watch list until 2008. (Soldier: Consorts with communists.) (Man: Fights racism. That's subversive) What if Barack Obama was president back then? (Officer: Come with us, Mr Mandela) (Nelson Mandela: Oh for God's sake...)

Clark, if you’re not on a watch list these days, you’re either a total fail or an extraordinary agent.

Isn’t President Obama LEFT HANDED?

Actually communists were (and still are) virulent racists. So the first panel does not make sense.

Let the dead be. We’ve been in a “full Nelson” for close to 2 weeks!

spouted with “and he was also on the watch list as a convicted cop killer.”Show me a news report of the copper he killed. Bear in mind he was imprisoned from 1964 till 1990 and for planning sabotage against the state.…cubefarmer also mentions “links to at least one Marxist terrorist group”Yep, the SA Communist party. Goodness me, that’s news and that’s just terrible. :-| Aligned with Commies? Just for that I would align with the racist National Party and oppress the majority of the population for sure. :-|The lies you lot come up with are quite astonishing.Sheesh, you guys are a riot. :-|

ahem, Mugabe didn’t take over the D.R of Congo, Mobotu Sese Seko did, in 1960, after Lumumba was killed.. Mugabe became Zimbabwe’s PM in 1980 after it became truly independent; later president and has remained since.
But I have no real issue with what else you’ve posted. In fact, I pretty much agree with it.

“With our boxes of matches and our necklaces we shall liberate this country…” Winnie Mandela 4/13/85
Of the 21000 murders during apartheid, 7500 were attributed to the ‘white government’ and the liberation movement accounted for 13500.

God there some stupid people on this comment page! Apologists for white supremacy, commie-haters who haven’t a clue what real communism is, pond scum who make up their own “facts”. Jeesh!Obama and his ilk will be brought someday before a people’s tribunal to answer for his crimes.

Citation for your inference of “convicted cop killer”. “The Rivonia Trial began at Pretoria Supreme Court on 9 October, with Mandela and his comrades charged with four counts of sabotage and conspiracy violently to overthrow the government.”…so political crimes against the apartheid government of SA….not homicide.

“In Chicago Obama used his bible (Rules for Radicals) to get put on ballets.”
I have not seen the “rules for Radicals” ballet, and I consider myself fairly culturally literate. I’ll keep an eye out for a performance. It sounds interesting. Any idea who composed the music?

“For God’s sake” is right.
