Honduran Coup Shows Business Elite Still in Charge

This pile of garbage is not an editorial - it is supposed to be hard news, taken directly from a wire service. The media is now emboldened, dropping all pretense of objectivity and pulling down the facade of neutral observation. They aren’t news reporters anymore, they are “news shapers”, putting more effort into narrative-weaving than fact-finding. This is make or break time - time to prove that cheerleading and agitating for international socialism is beneficial enough to the elected and protected powers to justify the provision of public largess.

It is only going to get worse as society “progresses” beyond the 50-50 parasite-host split. Once we reach roughly 40% host and 60% parasite, the endgame of Democracy will be clear even to the 30-second-attention-span endowed mass-consumers of cultural retardation.

Zelaya would still be president today if he didn't try to hold an illegal election to change the Honduran constitution to allow him more than one term which is clearly stated to be an unammendable. We even have an unammendable rule in our Constitution which cannot be changed to deprive a state of equal sufferage in the Senate without that state's consent (See Article V).

Unreal. Chavez elections were rigged.

“Not eligible to run for office” is now called “ousted in a coup” ?

Oh, but all the corruption in Latin America is our fault! It all started with United Fruit! Having spent many years in Latin America, this surprises me not a whit. Colonel, USAFR

I don’t know what happened to my /sarc command, but I think y’all know it was...

Colonel, USAFR

Whatever, A$$ Clown.

Uhh, it wasn’t a coup. It was a lawful and constitutional removal from power ordered by the Honduran Supreme Court when Zelaya violated the law in ordering an illegal referendum vote. The Honduran legislature also voted to remove Zelaya with every member of Zelaya’s party voting in agreement to remove him. Zelaya was replaced in office by a member of his own party. Some coup. But I think we all long ago gave up on the idea of the Marxist Times reporting news accurately. “All the news that’s fit to misrepresent.”

This article is mislabled. It wasn’t written by the New York Times, but by the Associated Press, which is even more shocking. Somebody should correct it.

Looks like Hussein has changed tactics in his attempt to reinstate the thug dictator-wanna-be in Honduras. Now he’ll generate some pro-Zelaya sentiment by using the tried and true stand-by of class envy! It’s those evil, greedy, rotten RICH people keeping Zelaya from return to his duly elected office. If this doesn’t work either, Hussein will let the Times know what to run with next.

And your opinion on this tripe would be what exactly?

[Louis Foxwell]

This is worse than bias. It is pure form Marxist propoganda.

[ApplegateRanch]

Chavez elections were rigged.

The Great Statesamn, and Supreme Humanitarian, and Arbiter of Democracy, Jimmah Catarrh, says otherwise.

That proves you be correct.

Baby Hugo is Rigger in Chief...and the sooner he suffers from a case of rigor, the better.

Kewl, a politically skitzophrenic writer.
