Two things. Comrades have to remember to clip extraneous text.

The other thing is that this article cited by Andrew is completely 
idiotic as I pointed out in my blog today. The author, who just copied 
and pasted a bunch of pro-Gaddafi articles, was stupid enough to cite 
one that cited in turn a NY Times article supposedly supporting the idea 
that Libya was a great democracy. Except that the NYT article said 
exactly the opposite.

This is a speech from long before that took place. He was saying such
things as soon as he was able to.

If you knew anything about Mandela’s final years, I doubt you’d be inclined to 
make him the focus of your fallacious appeal to authority. This is from about a 
year after that speech:

"Mandela is said by those close to him to be suffering from a form of senile 
dementia, which doctors say is common in the very old. He gets confused and is 
easily upset and agitated. Importantly, for a man who was obsessed with the 
news, his family and the military now largely protect him from the details of 
everyday life."

From here: 
http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/26/world/africa/south-africa-mandela-importance/

And before you resort to imagining a quick descent over the course of 2011, it 
is pretty well known that he was fading (and sheltered) long before then.

God forbid someone show support for a government of which Nelson Mandela
said

“I have also invited Brother Leader Gaddafi to this country [South Africa].
And I do that because our moral authority dictates that we should not
abandon those who helped us in the darkest hour in the history of this
country. Not only did they [Libya] support us in return, they gave us the
resources for us to conduct the struggle, and to win. And those South
Africans who have berated me, for being loyal to our friends, literally
they can go and throw themselves into a pool.”

But what does Madiba know in comparison to Clay?

Recycled on this list. Louis may embrace his new friends but I stand by my
defense of the Libyan revolution. This is all trash I debunked years ago.

Its no accident that US Greens turn out to be big supporters of fascism
worldwide. In my next blog post I will show how fascist Trump supporters
are warming up to Jill.
