The Cult of Celebrity: Gandhi and Women Rule 5 (with bonus Margaret Sanger)

Instapundit/Ed Driscoll had this post, including linking this 1983 Commentary article by Richard Grenier pointing out the inaccuracies of the Gandhi film (which is spectacular and absolutely hilarious).

Ganhdi, was a generally peaceful guy (and there were way worse leaders in the 20th Century than him), but the deification of him is over the top. It is interesting how the Left is so quick to reject Western morality and religion, but will go head over heels when some alternative faith is proposed. Eastern mysticism is so 20th Century, when we have new gurus to follow preaching a new world order.

It's Good To Be The Guru!

Meeting with Margaret Sanger almost made Gandhi suffer a nervous breakdown (to his credit he did not adopt her eugenic policies)

Hey talking about Margaret Sanger, what has her organization Planned Parenthood been up to?
