O'Reilly once demanded that the staff of Air America be arrested by the FBI and sent to Guantanamo. Now we have Rush asking that we follow the the example of Honduras in restoring freedom to the country - By arresting members of Congress, shutting down the opposition press, and in all other ways acting like the Fascists that they are.
Of course according to many this merely exemplifies free institutions. Where the future will consist of O'Reilly hotly debating Rush on which papers should remain closed, and which open - Or whether Lieberman should go to Guanatanmo, or be allowed his freedom, since he's a "good Democrat." Dave |

This is what Rush said... So we've got hell breaking loose in Honduras. You know what we learned about Honduras? We learned the Obama administration tried to stop the coup. Now what was about - the coup was what many of you wish would happen here, without the military. He used the words "many of you wish would happen here..." Please tell us where he specifically says he wants the government overtrown. Not his radio dittoheads, HIM. Limbaugh has commited no crime. He walks a fine line and, regardless of what his distractors think of him, he is intelligent enough not to cross over into criminal activity such as sedition. |

Good point. At the same time, some posters, perhaps including the one to whom you responded, open not only themselves but also the site management to legal charges with slanderous or near-slanderous statements. |

Let's turn it around... Suppose a armed group of Rush's "Dittoheads" (led by Rush or on their own), "Birthers" led by Alan Keyes and "Teabaggers" move on Washington D.C. in an attempt to make a "citizen's arrest" of President Obama, Vice-President Biden and all the members of the Senate and the House who are affiliated with the Democratic Party and you are stationed in the Washington D.C. area. As a member of the U.S. military, would you defend the present government, even if it meant killing armed "Dittoheads", "Birthers" and "Teabaggers" - your fellow Americans who are attempting a coup d'etat because they really believe that President Obama is not a legitimate President - not because the Courts have determined it, but because they have been told so by talk-radio hosts and Internet bloggers? As for me, I would shoot to kill - and feel sad afterwards for those poor deluded sheeple. |

Fightdirector seems to be under the illusion that Rush is calling for the overthrow of the country. He's not, but I'll play allong.
If I were to encounter a group of dittoheads or whatever, trying to illegally arrest the president would I gun them down? Perhaps. But only after exhausting all other, non lethal means such as tear gas of simply [bullhorn] talking to them. Deadly force should be used only as a last resort. |

You mistake me for the type to bring a Big Stick and not be willing to use it - I assure you that isn't the case. This coup wouldn't be the first time we've stepped into another country's affairs to take down a dictator - especially South and Central America. As for the OAS condemnation - given their condemnation of the coup, it's crystal clear who's side they're on and it isn't Micheletti's. |

PD You might check the latest, but it's being discussed between Micheletti and the Chair of OAS to return Zeyala for the remainer of his term. The agreement has stipulations but saving face is first on the list. For OAS that is. |

When Nixon resigned, VP Ford became president. When JFK was killed LBJ got the top spot. If something happened to Barack it would be Joe, followed by Nancy and then Robert. Simple.  "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_line_of_succession" |

When a VP becomes President, the Speaker of the House doesn't automatically become VP.

The Supreme Court has no right to do anything to a Sitting President, let alone "order the military to remove them."  Honduras might have a Constitution that guarrantee's the "rights" of the Oligarchy, we have one that guarrantee's the rights of the People. Dave |

Who you calling Shirley?  Seriously, anyone can sue anyone else for damn near anything. Case in point. Jerry Falwell sued Hustler over an ad parody that had Falwell in an adultrous affair with his drunken mother in an outhouse. It went all the way to the Supreme Court after a lower court awarded Falwell $200,000 for emotional distress. The Supreme Court voted 8-0 in favor of Larry Flint and his magazine. Even though Larry Flint ultimatly prevailed one can only wonder how much his defence cost him. Good lawyers don't come cheap. If Rush was to sue someone they may want to settle out of court just to save money in the long run. Not fair but life aint always fair.

Limbaughs words are subject to interpretation AND context. In a Court of Law, that would mean his numerous statements about the "illegal" acts of the Obama administration, AND his numerous comments about how we are "doomed." The case will NOT be limited to a dozen words. He would lose the case, and HE would have to pay the costs. But in all fairness to Limbaugh, I strongly doubt that suing ANYONE for libel has ever occured to him (probably the first semi-complimentary remark I've ever made about him ). Dave |

Did I say you said that? Maybe, but about as maybe as your own ambigious remarks, where not only could he sue me for example, but this site as well. If he DID sue me, I would be very pleased at the opportunity of making some cash. (BTW: You think I could score some pixie dust from Rush? Just asking.) Dave This message has been edited.
