South Africans know that mandela took the country down the zimbabwe path. Chasing out the whites means illiterate blacks are left to run things
?Why was that stadium half empty?? Glenn reacts to the media coverage of Nelson Mandela?s memorial service ? Glenn Beck

Last week, Glenn reflected on his conflicting feelings about Nelson Mandela, and ultimately asked his audience to remember Mandela for his principles not his politics. On radio this morning, Glenn furthered that theme as he reacted to the bizarre media coverage of the Mandelas death and memorial service.
Though the photos and video coverage of todays memorial service in Johannesburg, South Africa often showed tight shots of the crowd gathered, Glenn could not help but notice what appeared to be a half-empty stadium.
Im watching the coverage and no one will talk about why that stadium was half-empty. Now, I dont have the answer. I dont know why. I know it was raining. I know on the radio listening coming in, they were saying people were jammed outside trying to get into the stadium. I saw the pictures on CNN with the reporter standing outside an empty parking lot saying a lot of the people just went home. I know that people lined up at midnight to get in, Glenn said. But it was half-empty. The field was empty. That might have been for security. I dont know. But the seats were half-empty, except under cover. Now, thats still a lot of people, but I wonder why the networks framed almost every shot so you didnt see the half-empty stadium. Now, is it possible that it was because of rain? Yes, it is possible.
While much of the world as deified Mandela, Glenn questioned whether South Africa looks at their former leader in the same way.
