Trolling the deaf

That's how awful BK is... he makes Newt Gingrich right about something.

That if something is evil enough violence is a justifiable way to change society?

I know a number of people (deaf people) who were pretty ****ing outraged by this, considering that real goddamn sign language interpreters aren't hard to find, after all my university employs something like 100 of them (maybe more?)

Don't be silly please. Communism had support all over the world, but especially in places where the poor felt their labour was being exploited by the rich. When people feel like they are being exploited they WILL look for new systems that give them a fair chance in life. You'd do well to remember that.

It had support, but it was never deep. The poor usually didn't give that much of a ****--and in fact were the most reactionary. Revolutionaries were more often middle class. You are seriously exaggerating.

best part is how BK thinks he's better than someone cause they got a divorce, oh and freedom fighters.

Yeah seriously. You could see him get excited when he heard that there was a Mandela RIP thread he could troll, and now he's in full swing and just begging like a little dog for some attention.

He's just copy catting most of the American right/Republican establishment who is convinced Mandela was a horrible person and everything would be so much better if only we still had Apartheid in South Africa. I'm not exaggerating, they really have said this crap, and then they wonder why everyone thinks they are racist.

Rachel Maddow is an admitted lesbian. She therefore lacks the moral authority to report historical facts.

Rachel Maddow is unqualified to comment on historical events for many other, better reasons.

Don't get in the way of my BenTroll.

Especially if you're going to randomly change the verb "report" to "comment." Which, BTW, is a total Kenobi-style move.

He was a communist and a terrorist (It hardly does any justice to his memory to deny either of those things) but he seemed to have changed his heart in prison and came out a better person than he went in.

I've yet to receive an explanation why bombing abortion clinics is wrong, but terrorism against apartheid is right. Odd that.

Sorry, I misread your post. Was kind of skimming.

I was always under the impression that Mandela was the reason that the end of apartheid did not result in significant retaliation against whites and that Mandela was the driving force behind reconciliation and a multi-ethnic South Africa.

You're right. There are peaceful outlets to protest and oppose abortion. Black South Africans could just protest and vote to end apartheid... oh wait.

Actually there isn't a democratic way in which to stop abortion; it's been sanctioned by a distinctly undemocratic institution.
