It was the phony right-wing "Christians" who were the worst.

1. Human compassion is like kryptonite to the rightwing. Hate is their only emotion.

[arthritisR_US]

5. +1000! nt

[Initech]

44. "Compassionate conservative" is an oxymoron.

Ain't no such thing!!!

[hrmjustin]

2. They are creepy people.

[VanillaRhapsody]

3. Nope...not racists at all!

though they sure hate being called racists!

[Initech]

46. Not all racists are freepers, but all freepers are racist!

[VanillaRhapsody]

48. DUZY!!!!

[Leith]

4. They Are Viciously Cheering His Death

They aren't shy at all about their blatant hatred. How sad their lives must be.

[backwoodsbob]

8. who is kidding who

we will do the same when Darth Cheney finally gets garlic and holy water poured down his evil throat.

[spanone]

10. god help the soul that can't distinguish between nelson mandela and dick cheney

[sheshe2]

28. Thank you, spanone!

[spanone]

32. ...

[Hoyt]

11. cheney deserves whatever he gets.

[Cali_Democrat]

13. Did Mandela launch an illegal war based on lies

which lead to the deaths of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis?

[LanternWaste]

21. Answer: you are kidding yourself.

Answer: you are kidding yourself.

No one else is fooled... or as foolish.

33. Dick Cheney supported South African apartheid and called Mandela a terrorist

Your comparision of the two is like comparing Martin Luther King with George Wallace, there is a good reason we view them both very differently.

[The Wielding Truth]

56. Yep, that uppity Mandela struggling for the freedom of his people in his own land.Cheney should be

reincarnated as a native South African in the days of apartheid and see how he handles it. My guess is he'd be working with the oppressors. What a narrow minded creep, that Cheney!

[alcibiades_mystery]

43. Coming out in the open, backwoods?

Dick Cheney = Nelson Mandela?

Wow, dude. Subtle.

[backwoodsbob]

49. if I had made that comparison you would have a point

Darth Cheney may be the most vile person in my lifetime.
Nelson Mandela is possibly the greatest symbol of humanity in my lifetime.He is one of the greatest freedom fighters in the history of mankind.

Of course that wasn't what I was referring to though. I was referring to people tsk tsking the right for being*vile* and *hateful* when we all know we will be saying things as bad or worse when Darth finally dies.

[In_The_Wind]

45. Oh

[11 Bravo]

6. But deep inside the shriveled little piece of gristle that they call a heart they know one thing ...

He mattered. And they don't. Quite a burden for a bunch of half-bright racist pig-fuckers to bear.

[PeteSelman]

7. Wow. Not one of them is giving the respect he deserves at all.

The right wingers in my Facebook feed are ok except for the one that called him Hitler.

Sick people.

[Beaverhausen]

9. oh my god those are some sick people

[2naSalit]

12. Certainly demonstrates

just how much further we have to go before we get close to a civil society in some areas of our collective culture.

Sad, almost sadder than Mandela's passing itself. May they reap what they sow.

[TroglodyteScholar]

14. A big difference between them and us

When a prominent rightwinger goes, there's plenty of grave dancing here...but also there's always someone who will make sure we all hear about that one time the dead wingnut was right about something or did something good.

[Marr]

24. Then there's the other big difference--

The actual people being noted.

Comparing someone like Dick Cheney to Nelson Mandela is like comparing Snidely Whiplash to... well, Nelson Mandela. I honestly don't see what any decent human being would have against Mandela at this stage. But even a fan of Dick Cheney would have to admit he's polarizing.

[TroglodyteScholar]

47. I'm with you

[mstinamotorcity2]

15. I expect nothing less from the RIPs.

Simple is as simple does.

[MattBaggins]

16. What a bunch of ugly people

[Sheepshank]

17. my god....

Has he been staked? Is he completely dead?
(reply) I thought "necklacing" was what they did in Mandela's SA?

How do we know he won’t rise up and try to eat the guts of the living?
To be safe someone should pith him or put a round in his ear.

Let him rot in hell.

I don't understand the vitriol in this case.....can anyone enlighten me?

[billh58]

31. Good old right-wing

racism and bigotry = white power! The vitriol is inbred and indelible.

[Mike Daniels]

38. IOW...only people that support the US govt deserve freedom

There's no other explanation outside of a belief that the US should never have given up slavery or approved the Civil Rights Act.

[OriginalGeek]

41. Black man upset the white folk

Don't let any of those fuckers try to lie and say that isn't it.

[abelenkpe]

18. Wow

Those are some crazy sick demented comments. Truly vile.

Damn, and my mom frequents free republic. I am so totally ashamed.

[Marr]

19. What is their stated reason for hating him?

They don't generally admit to simple racism anymore, and even the wacko right-wing in this country doesn't defend apartheid anymore.

[Skittles]

27. he helped people; Mandela found all people worthy

that's a good enough reason right there for repukes to hate him

[Mike Daniels]

37. They hate him because he had support from the Soviet Union

The concept that Mandela may not have been sympathetic to another oppressive regime had western democracies not supported the apartheid gov't never crosses their mind.

[JI7]

50. also they don't consider that we sided with the communists also to defeat Hitler

so it's ok for us to do it but not them

[Recursion]

52. The line is "Mandela is communist-backed and advocates violence"

That statement was more or less factually true for a while, but misleading (ANC took money from the Fifth International and then ignored them; Mandela's views on armed resistance changed over time).

Mostly they don't like black equality in South Africa (or anywhere) and think that the country is in much worse shape now than 25 years ago.

[malaise]

20. I'll have a bigger one

for the war criminal of a dick

[Liberal_in_LA]

22. one intelligent freeper...

from the site:

freeper1: And don’t you tell me that apartheid was “great injustice”, that’s the Communist Party line espoused and propagated by the MSM so much that so many fall for it...

freeper2: So tell us all about apartheid's good points.

[jberryhill]

25. "So tell us all about apartheid's good points."

Evil provides good with opportunities to prevail.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

29. He's probably already banned. nt

[Bjorn Against]

39. I have a feeling Freeper 2 will be an ex-Freeper very soon.

[Liberal_in_LA]

58. yup

[MineralMan]

23. Vile. nt

[Dawson Leery]

26. What else can be expected from the teaklan.

Remembering the "Christian" right's assault on Nelson Mandela.

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/remembering-religious-rights-attacks-nelson-mandela

"President Reagan added the ANC to the US terrorism watch list, a designation not removed until 2008, and unsuccessfully vetoed sanctions against the apartheid regime. Many Republican lawmakers did break with the Reagan administration’s stance, but “all 21 [Senate] votes to sustain the veto were cast by Republicans.”

Mandela faced criticism from Republican leaders including Dick Cheney, who described Mandela’s ANC as a “terrorist organization,” and Jesse Helms, who “turned his back during Mandela’s visit to the U.S. Capitol.” Even in 1998, Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly lumped Mandela together with notorious dictators."

[UtahLib]

30. Hatred cannot be contained.

It rots the mind, the heart and the spirit from the inside out. The truth of that is more than evident on the creeper site. They are a truly pitiful lot.

[madrchsod]

34. we live in the time of prophets

martin ,nelson,and desmond.

" none of us are free, none of us are free

one of us are chained

none of us are free....."

[rurallib]

35. well - even expecting the worst I was surprised

I often wonder how they get through a day?

[Mike Daniels]

36. History ignorant jerks need to consider how George III considered our revolution

Washington, Jefferson, etc... would have been executed as traitors and terrorists had we lost the war.

These freaks live in a fantasy world where only white people have a right to freedom.

[Comrade Grumpy]

40. Ugh. Why did I read that crap?

[Va Lefty]

42. wait til poppy or some of his cohorts kickoff

"Time is on my side. Yes it is"

[Douglas Carpenter]

51. this time they truly exceeded my expectations

[leftynyc]

53. Mandela was a giant

And will be remembered that way. Freepers are irrelevant nobodies who aren't fit to wipe Mandela's boots. Let their hatred rot their souls - karma will catch up with them.

[JustAnotherGen]

54. Bookmarking this

On my laptop bookmarks for when Cheney dies. Inevitably I will post - at last evil has left the earth. People at DU will be up in arms. I intend to show folks what people that worship Cheney do when real patriots for HUMANITY die.

They will enter the valley of comeuppance some day. They surely will.

[dipsydoodle]

55. Bad taste / form.

What else would you expect from a bunch of ****s.

[meanit]

57. No one should be surprised at the Freepers reaction to Mandela's passing.

It's just their masks coming off. Mandela was devoted to freedom, justice and liberty for everyone in his country. He was the real deal, embodying what we hold as the basic values that founded our own country.
The Freepers push a perverted form of phony, flag waving "patriotism" to provide cover for their beliefs, which really just amount to fascism.

The Freepers despise democracy and lash out with viscous hate when they are actually confronted with it.
