And where did I state that?
Surely you knew I was referring to South Africans and not Iraqis.

How many folks have been murdered in America during the same time frame apsdt?
No. A terrorist does specific things that others don't, and Washington, as a military general, did not do those things. This line of false-equivalence argument is typical PeteEU bull****.
American citizens? Probably zero.
Let's leave false-equivalence arguments, your comment, to the experts on the subject--Cantor and the GOP..Do you think this hateful spew on Mandela is tied to the same hateful spew we see 24/7 on Obama ?
I honestly never have any idea what exactly you think you're saying. :shrug:

So you are denying the hateful spew on Mandela is related to the same hateful spew on Obama!!
False-equivalency by Cantor and his 5-year Coup = We got everything we wanted in the current budget and now,
just for kickers, we still want half of what the Dems consider untouchable..That should help .
I find it extremely telling, ho wmany right wingers on this board, hate him more than most racist Afrikaners do...
.
So zero American citizens have been murdered in America during the same time frame as you quoted with South Africa..Heck, we've got gun appreciation day coming right up to celebrate the 26 murdered in Newtown..Not to mention GOPees dancing on the graves of Chicago black-on-black death

We were in South Africa for their riches from the mines, bottom line..You reach for those who help, not those who rebuff you.
The USofA picked the white minority government and that's a black mark on us.
The rightists/Francoists still can't deal with the fact that the USA gave Saddam WMD and then Saddam gave them to Syria..Our Government, under Reagan, embraced Saddam Hussein when that very brutal dictator launched an unprovoked war against Iran,
yet will scowl at Mandela liking a Libyan?
What Budget? It is my understanding that we haven't had a budget for 6 years now.
Case in point -- WTF are you talking about, what does it have to do with anything I said, and how does "false equivalency" even enter into it? Your word salads are the stuff of legend.
You accused PeteEU of false-equivalency..
I have now educated you on how Cantor/GOP House use this technique 24/7 to nullify Obama/Mandela .
No, but then neither did Mandela, nor did he keep slaves.

I shouldn't be surprised you ignore what he believed what he was younger rather than WHAT HE ACTUALLY DID AS LEADER OF OUR COUNTRY.
I suppose though since he replaced the government that killed innocent blacks by the thousands you would be pissed off wouldn't you?

That is completely and utterly untrue!
I don't know why you have such a hatred for the man.
You never lived there I ****ING DID.
Crime is a problem in South Africa and ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IS SAYING IT ISN'T.
Most of it is black on black crime in the Townships that are a direct result of apartheid.
Lack of education, infrastructure in black areas as a direct result of apartheid.
Crime has been slowly but surely decreasing since 1994 but one thing is for sure, it is not Mandelas fault.
Why are you more outrage about crime that occurred after apartheid ended... then innocent blacks being gunned down by a murderous regime?
I thought you were one of those "freedom" people?
Although crime was bad, South Africa was free for all intents and purposes, crime committed by individuals as opposed to direct government murder of innocents?
I suppose when it's blacks being gunned down it's not as big a deal to you is it?
As you said, fight fire with fire..Pre-emptively fight the attacks that you and I both know are coming..This isnt a situation in which you get to use Mandelas death to defend Obama politically.
Did not do what? Blow up buses.. sure, there were no buses then, let alone explosives that could easily be concealed and used. Target civlians.. well, that is debatable is it not? Did the Americans not target collaborators, and what are civilians in a war of independence? You have to be careful here because remember Iraq.. those "terrorists" that attacked US troops, were no different than Washington. Only difference is that their power of their weapons.
Look I understand you want to defend your nations founder and sanctify him.. your people have been doing that for almost 300 years, but that is because you were the victor. Had Washington lost, he would have gone down as a rebel scum traitor terrorist... that is the difference.
He was a military general duly appointed to command the Continental Army and conducted himself according to the customs and rules of warfare of . . . the times.
