Dress Down Friday

Who Is To Blame?

See if you can guess!

On September 25, a commentator on Radio Globo in Honduras pointed to ****  and ******** as “people that do damage in this country” and added, “After what I have learned, I ask myself why, why didn’t we let Hitler carry out his historic mission?”

“From President Zelaya himself down to media pundits and political activists, there has been a troubling undercurrent of anti-Semitism in the situation in Honduras,” … “We know from history that at times of turmoil and unrest, **** are a convenient scapegoat, and that is happening now in Honduras, a country that has only a small ****** minority.”

[V]arious statements from Honduran public officials, commentators and others dating back to July 7, 2009, as well as statements by Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez and pundits on Venezuelan government television and radio. The statements include:

False allegations by President Zelaya that “****** mercenaries” are trying to assassinate him;
False claims by President Chavez of Venezuela and other Zelaya supporters that ****** was the only country in the world to recognize Micheletti’s de facto government;
Remarks by David Romero, Executive Director of Radio Globo, claiming that “officers of the ****** army” are working in conspiracy with the Armed Forces in Honduras. His remarks were reportedly challenged by Adolfo Facusse, president of the National Industrial Association in Tegucigalpa, who stated,” **** are our cousins and we will not tolerate such language.”
