Wow, what a dishonest analysis. Zelaya was forcibly _exiled_ from office (edit: and the country altogether) for trying to hold a non-binding referendum aimed at a first step towards extending his term in office. I see no reason why he shouldn't have been taken to court for defying his Supreme Court, but this was a coup. - Andrew C

The WSJ article you cited in an earlier thread quoted one guy as saying that if Obama backed the coup, Latin America - which mostly opposes it - goes over to Chavez by defaut. What do you think of that argument? ( http://online.wsj.com/article... ) - Andrew C

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't HuffPo allow anyone to set up a blog, just like DailyKos or RedState? - Andrew C

... and? My point was that blaming HuffPo for user content is weaksauce. Besides, KO is a fairly sane dude. - Andrew C

With about 17 min left to go, I'm going to guess a run for the Senate. - Andrew C

Andrew, she's quitting as governor because she can't take the strain. EPIC FAIL! - Bill Sodeman

Man, don't cross Dave Letterman. - Andrew C

how does this 'Chavez stooge' storyline fit in with reports that Latin American right-wingers like Mexico's president have also denounced the coup? - Andrew C

Here's an interesting article: http://bit.ly/EkpCE that explains why Obama is backing Zelaya. Because of our past history with coups in that part of the world, Obama is trying to show that he's against coups under any circumstances. U.S. Diplomats have been working in Honduras for weeks to prevent Zelaya from being ousted, but eventually the military stopped answering the phone and went... more... - Chris Jones

"Moves to try to stay in power through the ballot box have become increasingly common in Latin America." ROFL - Andrew C

I don't get it. If the new government is the rightful "Democratic" government of Honduras, why did they decide to take away the freedom to assemble, right to free movement, and allow the police to break into people's homes during the new curfew to arrest people without a warrant? http://www.reuters.com/article... - Craig

This is going to drive the Libs nuts :-) - Brian

One more reminder of why I'm glad I don't have a tv. I don't like these types of shows. It doesn't matter what part of the political spectrum they belong on. They just don't appeal to me. - Katy S

He's been married two less times than Giuliani or Gingrich... honestly, it's not like being an adulterer really hurts your political fortunes for more than a couple of years at most. (and yes, I mean for both parties.) - Andrew C

My bad :) Believe me, I used to love high school girls - Chris Jones

Great spin, Chris. So whether or not Zelaya was right to seek a change to his country's constitution, are you suggesting that it's appropriate for the military to unilaterally decide when a president is in violation and depose him? - Andrew C

Well, it's certainly true that every candidate, Mousavi included, was Revolution-approved. - Andrew C
