Papa, like Malema, is a racist, a fascist, and an idiot. Makes you understand why some animals eat their young!

Hey Papa, you are really living in a dream world. How can Communist partners prevent a Communist takeover. The current government is 1/3 part of a tri-partite alliance of which the SACP is a 1/3 part so that makes them Communist leaning. In what way does the "racist, foot-in-mouth' Malema want to prevent a Communist takeover of this country. There are Communist elements in the ANC so I fail to understand your logic. The reason for your tirade is JUST BECAUSE PATRICK CRAVEN IS WHITE. Remember, he has been Communist for as long as I can recall and he has also been "white" all his life. Malema will find fault with anyone, just because he is white. I believe that he needs to zip his mouth before he makes unncesssary utterances. The biggest racists are those people that call others racist.

Fellow racial tolerant South Africans, this Cronin Malema saga made me think a bit further than I would normally do. Am I the only one who sees this kind of racist thinking and commentary here on this site? How often do we see Malema bashed? How often do we see Vavi bashed? How often do we see Blade bashed? These cdes are publicly bashed for being members and leaders of their organizations, 99% of time when they issue public statements, they do so on behalf of their respective organizations. But to some racist fools, it is personal, simply because they are black. No matter what Juju says, even when he says he is defending the ANC from a communist takeover, he is wrong because he is black and the SACP was represented by a whiteman in this saga. Racist whites are tolerant of white communists and they will even go to an extent of protecting them from a black capitalist! How often do you hear the name of Cde Patrick Craven derrided by whites? Craven puts COSATU's views in a very radical way, but because he is white, white racists in many a media plattform would rather heap insults on Vavi. Almost every week, Craven issues a number of press statements, but he is never attacked with the same vernom like Vavi. Makes one wonder whether the support Cronin is getting here is about him being white and always right. I mean, he recieves support from the anti-communist, yet Malema is lamabasted for protecting RSA from a communist takeover, even after Cronin has apologised because he attacked Malema in person before reading the ANCYL policy proposals on minning ownership. White is always right and black is always wrong! Hmmm! Makes one wonder!

If Cronin a communism with a long history of fighting apartheid since the 1970's is called a racist (or white mesiah) by ANC leaders like JM, what chance do normal whiteys have in this country? When will the ANC look past skin colour? When will actions start to count? When everything falls apart....?

People where art thou?Jeremy made a personal attack on cde President of the ancyl so was Malema.If Jeremy who started personalizing the issue of nationalization should not apologize so is cd Pres JM for his personal swipe at the Intellectual.rights apply to everyone including Malema.

Another intellectual error in concluding that cde Pres JM does have a 'delicate skin'.None in South Africa's current politics has endured attacks,labelling,lambasting and all the negatives as Malema did,so how can the intellectual conclude like that.

As to poor Buti,understandably so he tries to rise to occassion.Malema eclipse is what is bothering him moreso that they come from same province but he hasn't been noticed.Ag shame.

Why the apology to an ignorant, dangerous racist I ask myself

Did Cronin apologize to Malema? I don't think so.
Just remember Prof Jansen's praise: "Malema is very clever" etc.
Both, having "such a delicate skin" and being "very clever", are rather flouting remarks.
Another two of President Malema's "victories".
Of course, he might be seen as a heroe by many plain people. Dangerous terrain!

So, let me get this straight: Cronin points out the obvious. Malema make a racist comment because (as usual) he has nothing intelligent to say, but Cronin has to apologise? Malema is a little bling king. The only thing he's missing is a silk nappy.

Why are people always caving into to someone like Malema? If JM can't handle the blunt truth he should get out of the fight! Sugar coating the truth will just pander to JM's overinflated ego; strengthening the delusion of his own self-importance.
