What happened to the right wing's democracy at all costs platform? Limbaugh and Hannity are busy pushing the talking point that President Obama is opposing the coup, because he secretly wants to be President for life too. Indeed, Rush Limbaugh openly wished that the folks who engineered the coup in Honduras would come to the U.S. and help take our country back.

But, says Limbaugh, "It really wasn't a coup. It was the constitution being upheld. It was not a government being overthrown. It was a government being upheld, a government being sustained and getting rid of somebody who wanted to turn into an Ortega, who wanted to turn into a Chavez, who wanted to become a Castro, and these are the people our president of the United States is siding with."
Reading from the same script, Fox's Sean Hannity declared it was "mind-numbing" that the Obama administration would side with the world community to condemn the removal of Zelaya by the military and its political allies
