Reply #24: Here the political proxy war is likely more relevant than the lobbying dollars

[karynnj]

to people associated with Clinton, though I have a real problem with lobbying dollars from foreign entities being used to influence officials.

To me the most startling sentence in the NYT article is:

"“What happens in Honduras may one day be seen as either the high-water mark of Hugo Chávez’s attempt to undermine democracy in this hemisphere or as a green light to the spread of Chavista authoritarianism"

The fact is the RW had a coup and kicked out an elected official - yet it is the left undermining democracy?? I get the point being made, but the way they framed it is transparently not true - which is not surprising given the speaker - Reich.
