Coup Definition:A sudden appropriation of leadership or power; a takeover:
What happened in 2000 wasn't a coup. What you suggest wouldn't be a coup. If Kerry were removed because of un-American activities it would be through congress and or the courts in accordance with the constitution. Thank goodness we don't have to face that possibility.
What Moyers suggested and which he's now trying to deny is the application of military force to seize power, the most common understanding of the word.
That is what I was saying. There could very well have been a military coup against Kerry. There was a near-coup against Clinton in the Pentagon, so why wouldn't those same angry military men go after Kerry as well?
"What Moyers suggested and which he's now trying to deny is the application of military force to seize power,"
I hope Koch or someone else continues to press PBS for a videotape of the incident. If Moyers is accusing the RNC of staging military coups that would constitute slander in my book.
