lol that was funny!
on a more serious and positive note, Nelson Mandela has finally spoken out against Mugabe, even after promising to never speak on politics again.
Bravo, Mandela and Happy 90th! |

Mugabe summoned his chief croney Sikhanyiso Ndlovu, minister for information. "I know you spread jokes about me behind my back, Sikhanyiso. It's impertinent."
"Why?"
"I am the Great Leader, Teacher, and Friend of the people."
"No, I've not told anybody this joke." |

yes I do agree JK that the press, once it feels it's onto a story will only see one side of it.
However, what would you say if a modern day Hitler rose up and the media latched onto the story of the Concentration Camps (I've been to Auschwitz twice and beleive me it's not nice)... would you then argue that he in his youth in Vienna he actually painted quite nice pictures and consequently cannot be condemned in the press?
sorry, that was a bit of a rant lol |

I agree with you David; but it still worries me when the entire media is singing one song. |

I'm sorry but I take issue with this thread and JK's original post.
for the uninitiated, Mugabe was heralded as a hero when he helped bring the colonial rule of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to an end. This was quite possibly justifiable praise, and many Southern African leaders have stood by him (or at least not opposed him) because of his past.
But his past is not the issue.
The issue is what he is doing now, which is quite appalling.
JK, I like Vile Pervert and agree with the arguments you make in it, but just because you were vilified in the press, does not make anyone else's wrongdoing untrue just because it is reported in the press. |
