re: #31 Killgore Trout

Here’s TP’s article on some of the more unpleasant of Mandela’s attributes including his alliances with Arafat, Q’Daffy, Castro, etc

Why lie about something so easily checkable? The article is not on some of the more unpleasant attributes, but a variety of attributes not often talked about.

Do you really think that calling out racism in America, being a die-hard supporter of labor unions, blasting US imperialism, or calling freedom from poverty a human right are ‘unpleasant attributes’?

There is one item on that list, one out of six, that is about his association with enemies of the US, and yet you represent the article as though it’s entirely about that.

Is this like the Hitches speech about government censorship that you claimed wasn’t about government censorship because of one sentence? That whatever Killgore thinks is most important about the article is what it’s really about?

Such an easily checkable lie, it’s really, really fucking weird that you’d try that.
