Actually, I'm not sure that Moyers was completely wrong in his statement. There were some serious conservative radicals who may very well have attempted to toss Kerry, based on his un-American activities in the past.
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.
Oh puh_leez. If they did not do it after eight years of Clinton, I seriously doubt anything would have happened if Kerry won. There were threats on the left of riots, but those died down because they thought they were gonna win, and were in too much shock when they discovered they lost.
Really? Them and what army? Subscribing to such delusional thinking just validates the insanity.
Bad as those were, it would not justify overtuning an election. Massive election fraud on the other hand could have been the spark for overturning an *illegitimate* election, if Congress and the courts refused to do so.
This is as crazy as what Moyers said.
"There were some serious conservative radicals who may very well have attempted to toss Kerry, based on his un-American activities in the past."
Can you name one? I never heard this from anybody.
The voters did toss Kwerry on the basis of his treasonous
acts after returning to the United States from Nam and his admitted participation in committing atrocities there during his four months in the war.
