Even the death of Mandella brings out the ET KKK clan.

He had a vision of a free market

Might want to go back and do a little more research on mandela he certainly was not a supporter of free markets.

because he had the power to turn it into a blood bath, a justified blood bath, and he refrained. He had the power to confiscate all the minorities riches and refrained. He had a vision of an integrated free market democracy and he succeeded.

Takes a hell of man with that much power to use it wisely. And after he got the country rolling in the right direction, the first thing he did was step down and pass on the leadership.

Mahatma Gandhi did basically the same thing except on a much larger scale. While India celebrates his birthday as a national holiday, the rest of the world just admires the man for his life of service and accomplishments.

Mandela Day will be a fitting holiday in South Africa.

Why? is it because he is black?

Because he waved to Bush with his middle finger.

Because (1) Odumbo is a partial black, (2) America is all about "everything blacks do is good in America".. (apparently includes the "knockout game" and "black intimidation of white voters at the poll".)

i just find it "funny" that there are people saying we should have a holiday for him here, and that there are also people here in the US, who think VJ day is too offensive to celebrate. To anyone who agrees with this contradiction: get fucked. no, i won't be celebrating holiday's for foreigners. i mean what's next hugo chavez memorial statues in DC?

Not funny. If Odumbo has his way, coming to your town soon.

because he's an inspiration for peace, reconciliation, forgiveness, and democracy (and most importantly, free market capitalism.)

and the holiday wouldn't be for him here, or him there, it would be to celebrate our common values, even if you are "them."
