TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Four U.S. Republican lawmakers met with Honduras' interim president on Friday in a challenge to Washington's condemnation of the coup that brought him to power.
The brief, amicable visit with the leaders of the coup that ousted President Manuel Zelaya highlights a divide in Washington, where the Obama administration is working to reinstate Zelaya but many conservatives side with the government installed after soldiers arrested the president in his pajamas and flew him into exile.
South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, the leader of the delegation, said before the trip that even calling Zelaya's overthrow a coup is "ill-informed and baseless."

Good. At least a few people with working brain parts are there, on the ground, to find out more about what happened.

Glad to see it. Somebody needs to remind the Dems and their lapdog media that the truth isn’t whatever they say it is. This was as clear a case of deliberate and sustained misrepresentation as we’ve seen in a long time, and they’re still at it. BTT.

I Applaud this effort. Wonder what the Dem-Underground/Huffington Post people are saying.
I won't allow my computer to visit these sites!

Right. Not a coup, but an impeachment.

You need to stop fretting yourself about words "they" use. You're worth too much.
The significant thing here is Republicans acting according to objective truth rather than subjective, Marxist truth.
I hope those reading this recognize the significance of this visit.

The democrats seeded their own problems by playing this game when Bush was in office.
The democrats single-handedly destroyed the policy of not taking politics outside the US.

Maybe it’s because it doesn’t qualify as a coup.

The MSM Obama butt lickers are continuously calling it a "coup". They are attempting to sway popular American public opinion with their distortions.
