Comments on No More Terror

Hmm, this looks worse for Clinton than it does for Bush. Why the fuck weren't the ANC removed back in the 90's?

Let's see, what other noteworthy persons and/or organizations have been labeled as "terrorists" by the US government for essentially resisting oppression and/or occupation by a foreign power and/or a neglectful domestic government?

Let's see: the Black Panthers, Hezbollah, Hamas...

I... ah.. made sure to vote against the... ah... non-binding 1986 House resolution calling for the release of Nelson Mandela from prison, in which the ah... Democrat Party also wanted to recognize the socialist African National Congress, which was seen as terrorist organization by our... ah... friends in Pretoria.

Yes but the contras were freedom fighters...

Yeah, how come Mandela was on the list and Mugabe isn't? And Mbeki should be on the list for not doing anything about it. Anything. I guess it's because even though he slaughtered his own people, at least he's not as bad as bush.

As long as we keep Cat Stevens out.

Remove Mandela from terrorist watch list? Check.

Add Mandela to Secret Muslim list? Check.

Is this the end-of-term ass-kissing that we typically see?

Bush:

"Hey! Mandy my man, how ya doin'? How's life as a nonterrorist? Wasn't that funny back when you were one? Hah, yeahhhh.

—Oh, no, no, you don't have to thank me. So what's this I hear about you needing a speaking partner...?"

Jim McDermott was on this list too, a couple years ago. Oh, wait. That was 'somebody else who happened to have the same name.' Right.

Well, to compensate shrub had Mahatma Gandhi added to the list...

Whenever I think humans can't sink any lower, I'm reminded of Mandela. The very best of the human race. Peace be to Mandela!
