What Leaving Honduras Hanging Says About Obama
The Man Who Wasn't There


It’s a dangerous precedent for the people of Latin America when President Barack Obama sides with coup-mongering oligarchs, as he did in recognizing the tainted presidential elections in Honduras. But it’s an even more dangerous precedent for the world, because it shows how easily he caves in to right-wing extremists in Washington.

If Reagan was Teflon, and George W. Bush was rocks, Obama is cardboard. People who need help can’t lean on him; conservatives roll right over him.

I'm not sure just what I think about the Honduras mess but I thought you all should see what is being
said in this article.

I agree the election was rigged but our govt. seemed to go back and forth as to which side we were on?

12. You're curious; they're yellow

Demanding fealty to an administration just because of a name is basically what's going on here. It's obvious, and it's tiresome.

The cult of the personality is an outrage to the marrow, and it makes me gag.

14. What do you mean by "they're yellow"? Was that a racist reference to cowardice via skin tone?.

Just curious.

16. Where did you get THAT ugly bit of character assassination?

To those with a rudimentary acquaintance with American usage of the English language, "yellow" means cowardly.

The joke comes from the ground-breaking Swedish film "I am Curious Yellow", although it's admittedly a bit obscure.

Attempting to silence opponents by tarring them as despicable is a chickenshit display of unscrupulousness, and completely avoids the issue at hand.

WHERE THE FUCK do you discern racism there? Is it a habitual insult to silence others, or am I just special? Are those who dare to disagree with you automatically deserving of scorched-earth fury that's designed to disgust others?

17. It is a habitual insult to silence others,

That poster thinks they can do it with impunity.

19. no, it's just called being a dick. apparently if one supports the president they are now a coward,

on top of being a cultist, warmonger ect.
