A devout communist has died.

Whatever.

“resting in peace”? I believe that is a typo...the dead commie terrorist is “roasting in peace”.

Khaddafi.

Kim Jong Il.

Chavez.

Mandela.

Next up—Castro.

Seems like God is cleaning up in the Commie aisle.

I accidentally landed on some MSM channel and heard the following:
DIANE SAWYER: He LOVED FOOD!!!!! “
ROBIN ROBERTS: And thaat SMILE!!!!!!”

It's my understanding from my South African friends that Mandela is responsible for South Africa's reversion to a 3rd world country. When Socialists talk income equality, what they mean is income equality of those in leadership with those on Wall Street and the rest of the population be damned.

Robert Mugabe is the “father” of modern Zimbabwe, will they cry for him, too?

[chessplayer]

Pig Eyes Hannity slobbered all over him. Now Rumsfeld is slobbering over him.

[chessplayer]

Dr. Ben Carson now slobbering all over Mandela.

News says everyone is shocked by his passing. Good grief,,,he was 95.

[Haiku Guy]

Flags at half staff for Mandela but not for Maggie Thatcher, which is just so wonderfully wonderful, I’m speechless!

[SauronOfMordor]

Anti-white pogroms in South Africa to begin in 3—2—1...

Ninety-five years old, been sick, been in the hospital.
He's been skating on the thin ice section of the actuarial table for quite a while.

Okay, I am already Mandela’d out. The damn media can talk about nothing else. I’m sick of it already.

May he rest in peace.

Frankly, I was ambivalent about the man: His associations with Marxist revolutionaries (think: the African National Congress) troubled me. But his fight against apartheid--surely one of the most horrendous evils of the second half of the twentieth century--was an inspiration.

And, as George Will (quite correctly) noted on Special Report last night, on FNC: His task was even more difficult--and therefore, even more amazing--than that of his American counterpart, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For King, at least, could appeal to America's founding document, the Constitution, and simply note that its ideals had gone unfulfilled; but Mandella had nothing similar available to him, to argue against blacks' second-class status in South Africa.

May his family take comfort in the memory of the man.

This wall to wall coverage is making me sick.
