Brazilian right-wingers, when referring to our 1964 coup, act identical to Honduras coup apologists.
They say it wasn't a coup. It was a "democratic counter-coup" to free Brazil from evil Communism. And João Goulart, the lawful President at that time, ate babies and bathed in the blood of virgins.

These people would applaud if I (and thousands of other people, famous and anonymous) were murdered, because I think bad thoughts and write bad words. They actually SAY as much. They openly long for the return of the dictatorship, and fantasize about the specifics of the torture methods. Openly, in on-line communities.

So pardon me if I can't muster up an ounce of hate towards the big bad evil leftist monster Zelaya. I'm too busy hating real evil.

1. Wow. You need to tap into Brazilian rightwing rants to find a reason for outrage?
Damn.

4. Ha. I posted this before that thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x333393

They don't even make a token effort to hide their ugliness. They must think it's part of their "charm."

I hope they all lose their last penny in the stock market / casino / whatever and their spouse runs off with a hot bodyguard.

7. Remember when Hugo Chavez refereed to obama as "The negro" aswell?
Lets not apply double standards here. (For the record I don't support the coup)

8. I remember. Bad taste, yes, but the context was not a racist dismissal like this.
It was more like, "Well, whaddayaknow? They actually voted for the Negro! Amazing!"

13. What I'm saying is lots of people use the word "Negro" in spanish to refer to black people and it
is not always rascist.

15. "Negro", by itself, means only a black person. Now, "negrITO", said about the 49 yo POTUS...

10. Too late, double standard applied and in effect. (It's OK for Chavez to do it)

17. They don't read anything, just bash
Apparently the President of Honduras is the same as Chavez to that poster.

18. Chavez-bashers aplenty on DU but they all defend Alvaro Uribe & his Death Squads
and Garcia & his mass-killings. Why is Chavez the bad guy, when he doesn't kill his own people, but our "allies" do?

3. Interesting case study
Ever hear about RFK and Goulart?

Zelaya is no leftist which shows how reactionary are the coup leaders and the political apparatus that gave them the go-ahead.

6. I remember the news reports about that coup in the U.S.
That's exactly what we were told, that "the Brazilian people" rose up and overthrew a dastardly Communist.
