Among world leaders, Nelson Mandela had unmatched moral authority. When George W. Bush awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002, he said, “It is this moral stature that has made Nelson Mandela perhaps the most revered statesman of our time.” Bush could have done without the hedge word “perhaps.” Mandela was by far the most revered statesman of our time. Every July 18th is Nelson Mandela Day. The United Nations declared it so, in 2009. Mandela was born on July 18, 1918. Yesterday, the great man died at 95.
The reverence the world feels for him has to do, in part, with the nature of his adversary: the white, racist apartheid government of South Africa. A Havel or a Sharansky could not achieve equivalent stature: Hatred of their adversaries is far less universal. White racism is held to be probably the greatest evil of our time, and Mandela was a lion against it.

Sez who?
Mandela the communist terrorist was not a good guy by any stretch of the imagination.
Is it due to his being a Communist Terrorist ?
I wonder if Billy Graham will receive the accolades this commie is receiving. Franklin indicated his father’s health is steadily declining.
here it says there is a stage 6 genocide in South Africa, mandela’s enduring legacy.

that is a genocide of whites in South Africa by a black government.
In South Africa many white women getting raped and tortured to death proof:

Genocide Watch has been particularly concerned for over ten years at the hate crimes perpetrated against Boer farmers and other whites – bodies of murder victims dissembled and disfigured, old women raped in front of their husbands, and other strong evidence of racially targeted crimes. However, Genocide Watch had no evidence that the South African government was encouraging these crimes or that they were organised by an organised hate group.
Now Genocide Watch states that they have evidence of organised incitement to violence against white people. It began with the rise of Julias Malema, President of the African National Congress Youth League, who began singing the old anti Boer song: Kill the Boer” at rallies of the youth League, then called for expropriation of white owned lands while he was in Zimbabwe visiting Robert Mugabe, and has most recently called Botswana’s racially harmonious society “neo-colonial,” and has called for the over through of Botswana’s government. Genocide watch will not downgrade the situation to stage 5 until Malema steps down from government.
When I learned he had croaked, I said “finally” - then I cracked a bottle of beer and opened a bag of Doritos.
World-class barf alert needed for this article.

Is that among TERRORIST world leaders?
First sentence- bull Obamastuff.
Do you think it’ll improve without Mandala? His legacy just might be that things were better when he was alive.
“I wonder if Billy Graham will receive the accolades this commie is receiving.”
Gentle giants like Graham seldom receive their due. When asked why God had chosen him to lead millions to Christ he responded: “That will be my first question to God when I reach Heaven.”
‘NELSON MANDELA WAS A RADICAL MARXIST’
Renowned Christian minister: ‘He tried to destroy us, set his dogs on us’

Nelson Mandela was a radical Marxist and a firm advocate of abortion, pornography, homosexuality and legalizing prostitution, according to a prominent Christian missionary who was summoned to the home of the South African president.
Rev. Peter Hammond, founder of Frontline Fellowship and Africa Christian Nation, has worked for nearly 30 years helping persecuted Christians in Africa. As a result of Hammond’s visit with Mandela – in which the missionary laid hands on the president and prayed for him to see abortion for what it really is, the merciless slaughter of innocent human life – Hammond was subjected to a 13-year audit of his organization.
Don’t mourn for Mandela: Joseph Farah says man ‘wasn’t the saintly character portrayed by Morgan Freeman’
In 2010, Frontline released a set of two videos titled, “My Meeting with Nelson Mandela,” in which Hammond reveals the true character of the anti-apartheid revolutionary and recalls his visit with him at his home.
“I’m astounded that so many in the West idolize Mandela and lift him up as a messianic figure because they obviously don’t know what he teaches, what he believes or what he does – or his support for some of the most radical Marxist dictatorships on the planet with some of the worst human-rights records, such as the governments of Red China and Cuba,” Hammond declared. “He has supported these dictators wholeheartedly and received them with the greatest honors.”
Hammond said there are many Christians who idolize Mandela because they’ve been given false information about who the man really was.
We live in a time when Political Correctness will not allow
any negative remarks be made against a black man.
Ask some former South Africans what they think of Mandela?
The man was a charlatan who lived a in time when the black man
is to be exalted.
He was a communist with ties to some of the most dangerous terrorist on the planet.
A sad commentary when a so-called conservative magazine
capitulates to Political Correctness.
Oh Brother. They’re going to be puking blood over this terrorist for the next two weeks.
better how, from stage 6 genocide to stage 5?
those are real people getting tortured to death.

What a sorry, duplicitous article. Not worthy of the National Review.
