Talk:Simbi Mubako

HERITAGE FOUNDATION?

" Mubako and Cynthia McKinney, a representative in the United States House of Representatives, accused supporters of the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act of 2001 of racism.[1][2] "

This is what the link to the HERITAGE FOUNDATION opinion piece says:

Conclusion The Mugabe government portrays criticism of its administration as racially motivated. Ambassador Simbi Veke Mubako, for example, has called S. 494 an "attempt to show some support for white farmers" that "is unfair, unjust, and racially motivated." The reality is that Mugabe's supporters have killed both blacks and whites in a politically motivated strategy to discourage his rivals. The unfolding tragedy in Zimbabwe is a result of Mugabe's lust for power: Charges of racism are merely an attempt to shift attention from his brutal tactics. Repudiation of such lawlessness should be a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy.

Rah, rah, rah. He meets an accusation with a counter accusation, and doesn't get to the veracity of what was said. This is still an opinion piece from an organisation that is funded by the billionair Koch brothers. How is it an authoritive source for Wikipedia? MrSativa (talk) 04:30, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
