PS Wasn’t Buckle an early supporter of Mugabe?

That has been suggested, however no one has provided any source for the statement. I can't see where it makes any difference at this point. We have a bunch of folks in the US who supported Obama who are now regretting it.

She obviously doesn't support him now, and I invite anyone who has a better source of on-the-ground happenings in Zimbabwe to please post it on this thread with updates.

If one has the time, there are letters at the site going all the way back to February 2005.

Yep. She and her father, as well as her husband, were liberal activists who, 30+ years ago, worked to throw the evil white imperialists out of prosperous Rhodesia and turn the former "breadbasket of Africa" over to its "rightful owners".

Congratulations to her.
At least she has remained in that toilet to reap what she helped sow, I'll give her that.

That’s what I thought, but the only “confirmation” I could google was from a white supremacist/jew-bashing site. Got a link handy? (Please don’t spend any time on it, but if someone has a credible one handy, would be nice.)

Do you have a source for your post? I haven't been able to find anything regarding that.

Buckle’s father was an activist lawyer in Rhodesia. Frankly, I don’t remember where I first read about Buckle’s background (it’s been many years) but Clive may know more about it than I do. He posted Cathy’s letters for several years here.
