A man holds a constitution of Honduras as demonstrators opposed to Honduras President Manuel Zelaya, protest in Tegucigalpa, Friday, June 26, 2009. President Manuel Zelaya is promoting a Sunday referendum on constitutional changes that has plunged the country into crisis by setting the president at odds with the military, the courts and the legislature that have branded the vote illegal.

The red is what interests me. Other photos of Zelaya supporters show many of them wearing red as well.

I’m not finding direct evidence of it but I seriously suspect ACORN involvement. The Zelaya supporters are the unions and poor and I’m reading that various social groups are organizing their protests (rioting)

Students wearing gags on their mouths protest against Honduras President Manuel Zelaya outside the Venezuelan embassy in Tegucigalpa, Thursday, June 25, 2009. President Zelaya's attempt to hold a referendum on reforming the constitution has pitted him against the country's top courts, the attorney general, military leaders and even his own party, all of whom argue the vote is illegal. (Photo/Fernando Antonio)

That was the mistake they made in Venezuela back in 2002.

I think Hugo Chavez’ merry band wears red. That said, I think ACORN does have some backdoor ties to these people.

Note that the ballots were obtained from Venezuela. VZ is also involved in our elections, because they make and program the electronic voting machines used in many places, and there has been some question about the honesty of these machines.

I am sure all these things are connected.

I’m picking up some sort of ethnic difference, between photos of supporters. Classic ACORN, drive a racial and class wedge.

“Note that the ballots were obtained from Venezuela.”

Yep. Two sets of ballots, probably. The ones the people were to fill out so they could be disposed of, and the other set of ballots that was already filled out ‘correctly’.

If the UN, Chavez, Castro, and Obama are all opposed to an action, you know it must be a good thing.

It’s good news, none the less. If the MSM will stop covering MJ, maybe we’d hear more good news...

It turns out that Zelaya's removal was ordered by Honduras's Supreme Court, the military was merely complying

Like Chavez, Zelaya doesn't think much of term limits and his country's constitution.

On another note, The Messiah should be worried about a coup of his own. He might one day be praying for exile.

I was thinking the exact same thing. There is a marked difference between the supporters of Zelaya and the anti-Zelaya protestors. The Zelaya supporters look like they have no idea what they are there for, other than they were promised “free stuff”.

If there were any doubts as to the leaning of our president, they are clear now...

Obama siding with Castro and Chavez against the ouster of a potential dictator who as trying to circumvent his nation’s constitution says it all...

We have a wanna-be dictator occupying the White House...
