Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was ousted in a military coup after betraying his own kind: a small clique of families that dominates the economy. Now those same families stand as the greatest obstacle to the U.S.-backed drive to return him to power.

Elites across Latin America are watching the standoff closely, as they plot their own strategies to combat democratically elected presidents such as Venezuela's Hugo Chavez who have demonized the wealthy as they push for a more even distribution of income....

Maybe they should trade in that Honduran Coupe for $4,500...

[ClearCase_guy]

Disgustingly biased coverage.

You pulled the words right out of their @sses

[Servant of the Cross]

No, he forgot to put in the steve-bARF ALERT!!!!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Just because the Honduran Constitution prohibits him from seeking another term is no reason not to let him become dictator-for-life like his buddy Hugo Chavez.

I sure am glad a small clique of families doesn’t control the US media

That's right - Lenin and Mao were only trying to push for a more even distribution of income. These lefty ideologues at the Times are definitely true believers.

All the news that’s fit to pimp...

Someone is building a case for a “Wag-the-Dog” invasion of Honduras to “Restore Democracy”...

Anybody watching activities at Southern Command, lately?

what tripe
what balogna

He was ousted because he was a dictator and he was trying to remain in office beyond his term

And once they murder everyone that opposes them...it's so much easier to distribute the income.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

The NYT is pathetic. According to the Constitution of Honduras, Zelaya forfeited his citizenship when he called for the referendum on a second term.

that cracked me up

crAP in the New York Times.

''You can't go against the businessmen,'' said seamstress Gladys Gomez, 48. ''They're the ones that give us work.''

She has a better understanding of economics than Obama and Geithner combined.

Agreed. Surprisingly, the Hondurans went by the rule of law instead of the time honored Latin American tradition of shooting the f**ker.
