Sam Francis has a nice column up at vdare.com excoriating neocon Max Boot for his dishonesty in reporting his recent ANC-funded trip to post-apartheid South Africa:
"What he doesn't tell us is the truth about the systematic campaign of murder and torture carried out since 1994 against South Africa's white farmers. Some 1,600 have already been murdered, and while the government claims it's simply uncontrollable crime, the indications are that it's a deliberate effort to exterminate whites and drive them off the land.
But that's only farmers. Some estimates put the number of white Afrikaners killed by blacks since 1994 at 30,000 or more. Mr. Boot mentions none of this. 'The most inspiring thing about South Africa,' he sighs pleasantly, 'is that there seems to be so little rancor.'"
As usual with these characters, Boot ignores the facts on the ground when they don't conform to his simplistic ideological worldview -- democracy and universal suffrage always good, no matter the context or even the results. I have no earthly idea why anyone would expect me to take these jokers seriously. Over to you, Captain Dave?
