Lots of liberals are back-pedaling on their past support and praise for Gaddhafi.

Nelson Mandela made a high-profile visit to Gaddhafi in 1997, promising the Libyan leader, "we will not turn our backs on you."

Noted Harvard professors, Joseph Nye and Michael Porter, have cozied up to Gaddhafi.

The Lesbian Conservative notes: In an interview with Business Week in 2007, [Michael] Porter proclaimed: Gaddafi’s rule is not a dictatorship because decision-making is widely distributed in the country. Porter also talked up the autocratic regime in 2006 in a report entitled Libya at the Dawn of a New Era stating: Libya has the only functioning example of direct democracy on a national level.

Jeremiah Wright (Obama's preacher) was a supporter of Gaddhafi, even visiting Libya with Louis Farrakhan in 1984.

The London School of Economics was pretty cozy with the Gaddhafi family.

“Last year, right around the time Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi called Obama 'our son,' Obama earmarked $400,000 for two Libyan charities. The money was divided between two foundations run by Gaddafi’s children; Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation, run by his son Saif, and Wa Attassimou, run by his daughter Aicha." (Camie Davis, American Thinker, July 17, 2010).

I watched about three minutes before I was ready to puke. It's all our fault via the CIA fomenting unrest.

I didn't hear word one of the Muslim Brotherhood.

I would and will gladly extend an offer to buy Mr. Farrakhan a one way ticket to any middle east country. The only requirement is that he renounces his U.S. citizenship upon landing. (Note that isn't clearing customs or the rest -- that is when the plane comes to a complete stop.

I will put a second mortgage on my house to help him get to go to any of those just, accepting, tolerant countries.
