Dick Cheney: Nelson Mandela was a terrorist, not a freedom-fighter

Cheney’s staunch resistance to the Anti-Apartheid Act arose as an issue during his future campaigns on the presidential ticket.
The State Column, Margaret Ledwith | December 08, 2013

As the United States joins the world in mourning the death of former South African President and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Nelson Mandela with well-deserved accolades from all sides of the political spectrum, there’s one prominent American politician who likely will be keeping a low profile: Dick Cheney.

In Cheney’s mind, Nelson Mandela was not a great freedom fighter who ended South Africa’s brutal system of racial segregation known as apartheid, but a terrorist leader. And, despite Mandela’s great moral and political leadership in bringing white and black South Africans together in a spirit of reconciliation rather than retaliation, Cheney doesn’t seem to have changed his mind.

As usual, Cheney tells it like it is.

Yep! Maybe that's why I've always liked the man so much.

Someone had to say it, in a way that could not be ignored.

Thank you, Mr. Cheney.

The difference between being a statesman versus a terrorist is whether you win.
