= the conferring of sainthood on a (usually defunct) individual.
But it's less distasteful than the opposite. I enjoy the noisy Jon Stewart's Late Show. Stewart has sound attitudes. I caught the show tonight and he was scoffing at a lot of stuff he'd seen calling Nelson Mandela a clenched-fist terrorist and listing his alleged crimes. Several of the quotes reminded me vividly of stuff I've seen right here.
I wouldn't want to accuse anyone here of lacking originality or not being able to think for themselves or being deep down closet racists. But is it just possible that this malevolent crap might come from the same source or sources? 'Anti-communism' was seldom serious and often moronic, but it lives on, ridiculously, long after the collapse of communism.
