You called people Stupid for voting for them....that is name calling

I know this is not the best source but, they have sources backing up their claims.

Aren't we hyper sensitive, me calling Canadian Stupid for putting up with the liberals is hardly name calling, its more like a classification than anything else. I've singled out no individual member of this board with that term, even though I've wanted to on many hundreds of occassions.
Rob Ander's has his opinions, and I'm willing to respect somebody who sticks to those convictions. He believes that Mandela was a communist and terrorist and therefore wants nothing to do with it, he knew that the house of commons was going to vote unanimously so he filed a protest vote. Good for him.
The ANC was receiving funding from the soviets, and did have a communist slant, that can't even be debated. did Mandela's ANC blow up railway tracks, and buildings, were they in on the murder of police, and other people. Yes, and because Mandela was the leader of this group even in a spiritual way he is linked to terrorism.
conversely Mandela had everything to do with the collapse of a racist regime in south africa, and should be honoured for it, but if Ander's feels as strongly as he did about the whole situation then good for him, I repect him more for that then if he just sat on his butt and voted with the majority like a wet noodle.
