A missed opportunity
In the true spirit of Reality Counts, I should have omitted Mandela's name. Then it would have sounded REALLY bad:
"For instance, do you know that Bill Clinton is close friends with the former leader of Umkhonto we Sizwe, a terrorist organization which engaged in a campaign of bombings and sabotage in which people were killed and badly injured? And Clinton's terrorist buddy admitted that the African National Congress - which he also led and which was affiliated with the South African Communist Party - engaged in human rights violations? Do you know that Clinton has been known to boast of his friendship with this known terrorist, even attending birthday parties for the man?"
That's much better...
