Shamelessly Polticizing Mandela and Obama

SOME, MAYBE MORE THAN SOME American conservatives are reaching new depths, even for them, by politicizing Nelson AMandela's death, and Obama's reaction to it. If Obama had no reaction to Mandela's death, the conservatives would accuse him of, self absorbed arrogance and insensitivity. By his reacting to it, they accuse him of trying to steal the attention from Mandela. How utterly despicable of them, to politicize this. Their hatred for Obama is so great, and their minds and spirits so small, that they desperately seek any pretense, no matter how slight or fabricated, to attack Obama. Its pathetic. The conservatives are once again in a precarious position in the eye of the American people, just like they are every year on Martin Lulther King day. They are forced to honor a person whom they must undoubtedly, deep in the recesses of their small minds, still despise, like they did years ago, before it became utterly unacceptable to do so. Nelson Mandela, like Martin Luther King, was a socialist, pure and simple. They were both people who fought tooth and nail for fundamental change, against all manner of conservative opposition, and won. Just do the history. During the times when King and Mandela were fighting for simple decency and justice, conservatives the world over, and especially in the United States, stood in their way every step of the way. The U.S. government even labeled Mandela a terrorist for years, another of many heartless gifts of the ancient acting president, Ronald Wilson Reagan. Barrack Hussein Obama, Nelson Mandela, and Martin Luther King all three have more in common with each other than corporate America, conservative America, and the contemporary Christian church have in common with the teachings of Jesus. But of course, the conservatives and capitalist money changers never liked any of those guys anyway.
