That his words can be twisted to the point that a pretzel would look like a straight line as long as it suits the person doing it...basically, whatever he says is right simply because he says it, and the rest of us are just too ignorant and/or blind to be able to ferret out his "real" meaning. And when his "real" meaning becomes clear, of course we will all agree with everything he has ever said, hosannas will be heard, God will be in his/her heaven, and all will be right with the world. :)

Of course, alternatively, one could also conclude that these quotes are/were the ravings of someone a few French fries short of a Happy Meal (not to put too fine a point in it) and that those that try and twist are desperate to make some sense, any sense, out of what their leader has said.

And don't forget Marcos.

But Maharishi praises Fidel Castro, Robert Mugabe, and their ilk, so what
