Well I suppose it is rather embarrassing having a
murderous dictator as one of your Honorary Degree
Holders!!! He should never have been given it in
the first place. Let's hope they do not take as
long to decide to take it away as the rest of the
Regional Leaders have taken to decide what to do!!
I agree can't waste people's hard earned tax money
on an idiot like this. Revoke the damn thing and be
done with it, nothing to discuss really!

Well, these liberal crackpots gave that tribesman the degree when he was killing whites in Rhodesia - liberal mass murderers loved that. Now another liberal crack head want to take it away for whatever reason. These liberal morons are playing their games for lack of anything else. Why I should pay for it? This legislator should be impeached!!

I suppose giving Mugabe an honorary degree might have seemed a good idea at the time. So's revoking it now.

A waste of time for the legislature given more pressing priorities? Probably. But it's a message worth sending and one that should have been sent years ago. Personally, I don't want the UMass degree I earned to be tainted by association.

And by the way: "Bremen," lay off the anger. It's really bad for you, no matter how you vote.

This is like the morons waiting time trying to get bush impeached or sactioned. It's over get over it. Legilsators should be working practical issues. Like the economy and gov't spending.

I hate communists - socialists -"liberals" since I was 18, and will not change now, when they are destroying this country with full force! For me they were, are and will be the worst enemies of mankind!
And it is good for me because I am doing the right thing and feel great! BTW, did you ever talk with white people from Rhodesia? I did. But if you were graduated from communist infested U-mas you should be brainwashed up to the insanity point!
