Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya says the Honduran people "have the right to insurrection" against the interim government that forced him out of the country.

Zelaya says that Honduran citizens also have the right to demonstrate and to stage strikes against the government of de facto President Roberto Micheletti, who has threatened to jail Zelaya if he tries to return.

Zelaya said at a joint news conference with Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom on Tuesday that "nobody owes allegiance to a usurper government."

Zelaya said "insurrection is a legitimate process."

Zelaya was toppled by a military-backed coup June 28. He is recognized by virtually all foreign governments.

Does this sacred right only apply to Honduras, or to

...other countries (Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba)

Does this sacred right only apply to Hondurans, or to citizens of other countries?

(Like the US, quoting Hillary Clinton about dissent...)

Cheers!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Time for Zelaya to have an “accident.”

Lots of bananas in Guatemala to slip on.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sorry chief! The Hondurans already insurrected when they tossed your goatsmellin’ ass out of their country in your PJs.

[coconutt2000]

Only Zelaya’s supporters have this “sacred” right. If he had succeeded in overthrowing the Honduras government as he had planned to do when he was impeached and deported, he wouldn’t tolerate dissent of any kind.

[SaraJohnson]

G0 for it, commies. See how far you get against the constitution’s army.

[GeronL]

did anyone think this would not be the next step of the real coup?

socialists need to make it look like they have popular support

[sonofstrangelove]

LOL

[GeronL]

"the Honduran people "have the right to insurrection""

LOL, that's a curious call to arms for a deposed president.

[Yardstick]

Given that the “interim government” consists of the same legislature, same supreme court, and same constitution as existed before Zelaya was removed, what exactly is “interim” about this government? Maybe the AP writer could explain. Because the fact that the government removed a president on constitutional grounds doesn’t mean the government has been downgraded to an “interim” one.

Maybe the AP writer could also explain how Micheletti is the “de facto” president. Given that he was appointed to according to the lawful processes of the Honduran constitution, legislature, and supreme court, the correct term would seem to be “de jure”.

Wow, be careful what you wish for Zelaya/0zer0. Be careful the company you keep.

2When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,
But when a wicked man rules, people groan.

Just like only libtards in the US have certain rights...”freedom of speech and objectivity” by the so called MSM only applies to them. Or how about special treatment regarding political corruption (either scandalous personal behavior or massive conflicts of interest). Which relates to the corrupt MSM.

I disagree: I think we need an informed populace and greater than 40-45% voting, BY the informed populace; we need to clean out the party apparatchiks; and clear out the red tape which exists to defend the entrenched party bosses, lawyers, and lobbyists.

Kind of like what Sarah did in Alaska to remove corruption; and UNLIKE McCain-Feingold.

Cheers!

Just following the proscribed story line...can you fault him, there are probably 4 out of work journalists, er, journal-hacks, that are waiting to take his Pravda job.

Agreed X 3...however, we’d best be doing this double time...this stupid debt time bomb is ticking against us all..

[grey_whiskers]

Debt isn't debt until it's spent: and with a conservative dominated Congress, and then SP in the WH, we can roll back the rest of the spending and put draconian cuts in govt. bureaucracy nationwide.

Cheers!

[Jeff Head]

Sounds like Zelaya want to throw a revolution party...but no one is coming.

Except all the other marxists in this hemisphere like Chavez, Noriega, Castro...and Obama.

You know, I haven’t really noticed any of Zel’s thugs demonstrating on his behalf lately. Only thing I’ve seen is the Honduran people’s freedoms being given back to them.

“Zelaya was toppled by a military-backed coup June 28. He is recognized by virtually all foreign governments. “

Bare faced lie.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“Given that the “interim government” consists of the same legislature, same supreme court, and same constitution as existed before Zelaya was removed, what exactly is “interim” about this government? Maybe the AP writer could explain.”

Simple. The AP writer is a leftist POS.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“Except all the other marxists in this hemisphere like Chavez, Noriega, Castro...and Obama. “

Obama should be listed first ;-)

[SeminoleSoldier]

I agree wholeheartedly, however, the Hondurans already exercised this right comprade.

[Girlene]

Zelaya (and Chavez) are growing desperate. According to this article, Zelaya threatens and Chavez demands. Is there war in Honduras’ future?

.................."Yesterday, he issued a warning to the current government headed by Roberto Micheletti: “We are giving an ultimatum to the coup regime to obey the express mandates of the international organizations and the Honduran Constitution.” If he is not reinstated by the next meeting of the delegates to the Arias mediation, “the discussions will be deemed to have failed,” in which case he will proceed “with other measures.”......................

.........................."In an astonishing display of frustration, Hugo Chavez spoke directly with a State Department official and pressed the United States to use their troops stationed in Honduras to restore Zelaya to power, or to remove them altogether. The Venezuelan strongman, who has spent years vituperating the United States for its alleged meddling in Latin American affairs, all of a sudden pleaded with the State Department for an American military intervention."...............
