http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/12/11/1261992/-Conservative-wag-Erik-Rush-on-Mandela-Someone-who-didn-t-do-much?detail=facebook#

“You know I hate to rain on the parade here, but there really isn’t a whole lot to celebrate aside from this synthetic symbolism that is being made out of someone who, you know, didn’t do much,” Rush said. “Apartheid went away, great. There are South African blacks who have told friends of mine they wish it was back because the country was safer, if you can believe that.”

South African blacks told his friends who told Erik that the country was safer under Apartheid.
Okay then, it must be true. Idiot
