Anyone out there think Lara Logan might be longing for the days of Apartheid?

[RFCalifornia]

Maybe its a jump but she grew up, privileged, white and in Apartheid SA

I'm guessing she wants to go back to that

[MontanaMama]

1. She's lost her damned mind.

That is all.

[RFCalifornia]

3. Did she ever have one to begin with?

[MontanaMama]

9. At one time she was a correspondant

for 60 minutes. They don't just hire anyone for that program. She's nuts these days.

[iemanja]

2. I don't recall her being bad before she went on Fox

Do you?

[RFCalifornia]

4. No but I think she knew who signed her checks

And she does now too

[amb123]

5. Apartheid Lara

Good nickname for her.

[RFCalifornia]

7. I like it nt

[DavidDvorkin]

6. No, I don't

Years ago, she wrote about her opposition to Apartheid.

I also grew up white and privileged in Apartheid South Africa. Don't make such assumptions.

[RFCalifornia]

8. Did she do it at a time when it was risky?

Or did she do it when it was safe?

[DavidDvorkin]

12. That I don't know

But the answer to your question wouldn't mean much. Not having the courage to object when it was dangerous wouldn't mean that she supported Apartheid.

[RFCalifornia]

15. That was what all the "Good Germans" said after WW2

I don't buy it

You know who wasn't a "Good German?"

Sophie Scholl

Look her up

[DavidDvorkin]

18. My parents didn't speak up about Apartheid

We left the country, instead. Many others did the same. Some couldn't leave.

Some Germans were indeed good but feared to speak up.

[LonePirate]

10. Apartheid? More Like Antebellum. Repubs want us to go back to the early 1800s.

[Initech]

13. Actually I wouldn't mind that since there was an enlightenment movement then.

And people were waking up to how insane the church was and how much they were getting screwed by it. So I wouldn't mind if we had another period like that!

[amb123]

19. Where only white, male, property owners could vote.

[OneGrassRoot]

11. She seems to have changed...

after her attack. I don’t know what else may have happened around that time or in the interim but I see that as a key event in her shifted worldview.

[RFCalifornia]

16. I don't consider that a valid excuse

I could see her going on the anti-Immigration train, but this is public health, totally unrelated to her attack in Egypt

[OneGrassRoot]

20. Oh, no excuse for sure...

just an observation about the timeline in her right-wing shift.

[peggysue2]

14. Think she's longing to be relevant again.

Too bad she's taking the conspiracy track.

[RFCalifornia]

17. I think she's always been a RWNJ

She just knew who signed her checks

Once it became Murdoch and co, get on board the crazy train!
