Where's: Have Jimmy Carter declare a free election null and void, invite terrorist factions to participate, praise the terrorist leader that won after murdering his opposition's supporters and invite him to the Whitehouse?

http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/013/7 46zsgtg.asp?p g=2

Carter is unrepentant about his administration's support for Mugabe. At a Carter Center event in Boston on June 8, he said that he, Young, and Secretary of State Cyrus Vance had "spent more time on Rhodesia than on the Middle East." Carter admitted that "we supported two revolutionaries in Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo." He adopts the "good leader gone bad" hindsight of Mugabe's early backers, stating that "at first [Mugabe] was a very enlightened president." While conceding that Mugabe is now "oppressive," Carter stressed that this murderer of tens of thousands "needs to be treated with respect and assured that if he does deal with those issues [democratization and human rights], he won't be punished or prosecuted for his crimes."

I think the reason that African dictators never make it big is because none of them have mustaches. You can't be taken seriously as a dictator unless you have a mustache.

or, if you happen to be in america, get all your big business owners together and give them the government of the people. let them do as they please with their government to further consolidate their wealth and allow them to steal more middle/working class wealth. let them buy legislatures to create the laws that will favor them at the expense of the People and the country. let them create the "news" they want in the media conglomerates that they own so the People of the country won't know what is really going on under their noses. welcome to Fascist America. have a nice day!!

Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism as it is the merger of State and Corporate power. --Benito Mussolini

Mugabe not only has a mustache, he has a Hitler mustache!

Really, I'll try to find a pic.

Step 13: Blame white people for everything that happens. Suprisingly, there are still enough idiots in the US, Australia and Europe who will accept this excuse.

My school gave an honorary degree to Mugabe in 1986. They "didn't know it would turn out like it did". It has since been rescinded.

Is that were Mussolini went wrong? I would think delivering speeches stripped to the waist would kinda make up for that though.

Absolutely. Once Hitler got involved, he brought the 'stache mojo to the party. Poor Il Duce never had a chance after that.

Have a name thats hard to say. That way western leaders will be afraid to address your crimes for fear of looking stupid trying to pronounce your name.

I remember seeing Zimbabwe as a sucess story of Africa. My family (I was a wee bit young at the time) thought that he could make the country a Beacon for Africatm. Mugabe had an infrastructure, an economy and the goodwill of the world. ::sigh:: turns out that black folks could be as dumb and venal as white folks; who'd have thunk it?

Pair those with a wicked afro and we'd have the groovy-est president in history.

Give a hella great speech on the national stage.

Cozy up to The Whole Of The Left (Media especially) and tell lies about your rival (poor ol Hil.) Give hella great speeches every day (never without a teleprompter.)

Allow all of the above (and eventually ol Hil) to polish Your knob multiple times on a daily basis..on every stage, local to national.

Falter in the scarce debates and press conferences you actually grant? No worries: Your team (TWOTL) will expend millions of words/column inches lifting You right back up while assassinating the character of Your main enemy (Palin.)

Give NO MORE press conferences so we can't hear You say Uhh and Umm 10 times per sentence. Take Your teleprompter on ordinary campaign speeches (again, no more Uhh Umm Uh Um.)

Pure Gold Plated Profit.

/This was about an African dictator, right? Close enough.
//I wish Him the best but I hate kool aid.
\Please. Take it to your therapist. I'm not listening to your hysteric/snarky spewings. I could just watch madcow/nolberman for that.
