In what is arguably his most significant gift to friend and former South African President Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton is lending his name to the effort to establish a global Mandela Day around his July 18 birthday. The campaign and Clinton's involvement will be announced today by the Nelson Mandela Foundation and the humanitarian group named after his prison number: 46664.
Bubba, referring to the name friends give Mandela, says: "More than any human being, Madiba has been the great inspiration for the life I lead and the work I do, especially in the area of HIV/AIDS. In return for everything Madiba has taught us, we each owe it to him to support his work and legacy by doing and living our own as best we can, not just on this day but throughout our entire lives."
During and after his presidency, Clinton was close to Mandela, 90, and the Clinton Foundation was built around some of the same issues with which Mandela deals, such as HIV/AIDS.
Here's the deal: Mandela's foundation is eager to give the apartheid leader his day in the sun. They've established a campaign, http://www.mandeladay.com, to make July 18 a day to both celebrate Mandela's life and his values. While the campaign launches today, posh parties will take place later in Washington and Los Angeles to herald Mandela Day. In Los Angeles, the actor Forest Whitaker and his wife will host one party.
The Mandela Day website adds details on the issues that would be focused on every July 18:
GRR! First post and you already beat me to it!
Nelson Mandela day? Hey! We could all wear commemorative neckties.
Can’t wait to see the jewelers and tire salesmen with their “necklace sales” on his holiday.
Let Beelzeflubba kiss his aging butt!
Democrats don’t even want to see Ronald Reagan on our currency.
...or black ribbons made out of rubber?
Only as a way to pick up chicks...
The Roxbury section of Boston wanted to secede and rename it Mandela. The idea was dropped when they were informed that they would have to without the services that the taxes the city of Boston provides.
Oh great, another union holiday.

Let Nelson share a day with Karl Marx!
How about Sorely Oppressed American Taxpayers’ Day?
The pandering never stops, does it?
Get ready for Nelson Mandela Month.
Have it on July 25 to coincide with the Church Street Massacre. Maybe African-American children can burn down their schools as he inspired the children of Sooth Africa to do?
The Commies already have May Day, just go ahead and use that.
hey! I’m all for another paid holiday! the problem is that those who pay me probably would rather not have to...
they’ll trade columbus day or good friday (or both) for this
Other than murder people and spend half his life in prison, what has Mandela done to get this level of respect.
Hell, GWB did more for HIV/AIDS in Africa than “any” damned African ever thought about doing.
Mandela never said an unkind word about and was a big supporter of Mugabe.
Or necklaces. I guess Bill is really angling for a Bill Clinton Day.
Nelson is a commie isn’t he?
Call it “Necklace Day.”
We can pass out little tire-shaped candies to all the kiddies.
That's all it takes for Democrats. Just like Mumia, Mandela represents business as usual for leftists everywhere.
There’s not a big enough barf bag for this one! Anybody checked S. Africa lately, it went from a prosperous nation to a typical African country just as Rhodesia, (Zimbabwe).
Unfortunately, I am increasingly afraid you may be correct.
I have never gotten off for Columbus day in my life, and I have always lived in areas with large Italian populations. The one that always gets me, though, is the fact that we get off for Martin Luther King's Birthday, but not Lincoln's. I have no problem celebrating MLK Day, but it seems pretty ironic to me, if we are not first celebrating Lincoln's.
The man was a terrorist. His wife was neck tying her enemies.
Bill Clinton has finally fried his last active brain cell.
Sure Bill...
He can have last Friday...
or how about August 19, 1946
All the rest are taken...
We need them
Let me guess, July the 4th is probably close enough to the 18th to be the right day.
I don’t want to see a Martin Luther King redo, sacrificing those who need to be honored so that someone else not so worthy can be.
Since when does our nation declare national holidays for people who aren’t even citizens of our nation?
Of course, when championing him as "the" great black leader, his mewling, apologetic, American liberal supporters always conveniently omit that fact, and that he was little more than a puppet for Joe Slovo (white), who was himself Andropov’s (white) lackey. Joe Slovo sent probably millions of black Africans to their deaths during decades of his background manipulations. Where's the outrage? Where's the scandal? Probably not 1 in a thousand Americans have even heard of him. Probably not one in a million American blacks have ever heard of him, either.
Thank you for the link....
"the preparation, manufacture and use of explosives—for the purpose of committing acts of violence and destruction in the aforesaid Republic, (the preparation and manufacture of explosives, according to evidence submitted, included 210,000 hand grenades, 48,000 anti-personnel mines, 1,500 time devices, 144 tons of ammonium nitrate, 21.6 tons of aluminum powder and a ton of black powder)
But the left gives him the "Peace Prize". Sickening...
***Nelson Mandela day? Hey! We could all wear commemorative neckties.***
Name your poison! South African neclace or Colombian Necktie!
...Neckties, Contracts, High Voltage!
Martyrized by prison in the last century, should be back there for his massive crimes from before and after his last incarceration.
We could all wear commemorative neckties.

Burning tires?
The after pictures are too gruesome to post.
And Clinton loves these murdering communists. I'm not surprised.
Neither am I.
Clinton, Carter, Obama, honestly lefties, shouldn’t you be able to gain some understanding looking at these folk’s rule.
