DeMint accuses Dems of censorship on Honduras issue

WASHINGTON -- The chairmen of the House and Senate foreign relations committees are asking the Law Library of Congress to retract a report on the military-backed coup in Honduras that they charge is flawed and “has contributed to the political crisis that still wracks” the country.

The request, by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. and Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., has sparked cries of censorship from Republicans who say the Democrats don't like what the August report said: that the government of Honduras had the authority to remove President Manuel Zelaya from office.

Zelaya has been holed up at the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa for several weeks, and high-ranking U.S. officials arrived Wednesday to try to broker a resolution.

Critics of the Obama administration — which condemned Zelaya's removal in June — have pointed to the report as evidence that the White House was wrong when it sided with most Latin American countries in calling for Zelaya to be returned.

John F Kerry was a shameless liar when I first read about him and it has not improved with age.

The administrations position on the elections in Honduras is indefensible.

Only conclusion that can be drawn is that they support the position of the Sao Paulo Forum (Castro, Ortega, Lula, and other Commies) and want another Commie back in power.

....”they support the position of the Sao Paulo Forum (Castro, Ortega, Lula, and other Commies) and want another Commie back in power.”

Not surprising. Like minds and all. He surrounds himself with commies, because he is one.

The problem is that to get them to remove their “flawed” report, you actually have to prove that there is a flaw in the report. That’s why it hasn’t been pulled.

But then again, Kerry is expected to do what he can to hurt America and its allies. So this is expected.

He also had a recently appointed president (fellow leftie) of the Export/Import bank pledge 2-billion dollars for an offshore oil drilling project in Brazil. (Lula in Brazil is a Commie and co-founder of the Sao Paulo Forum)

There have been accusations that the financing was payoff to help Obozo with Honduras.

We don’t need a flashlight or a spotlight, but we truly need the “Light of Day” shined on them.
