The Strange Opinions of David Romero Ellner, one of Zelaya's Main Supporters in Honduras
This managed to shock even me, and I didn't exactly come into this with a good opinion of former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya.

Not long after ousted wannabe Marxist dictator Manuel Zelaya issued a bizarre rant about Israelis attacking him with high frequency radiation and toxic gases, his chief propagandist, David Romero Ellner, who heads up Honduras' Radio Globo went on the air to suggest that Hitler had been right and that it was unfortunate that he had not gotten the chance to finish off the Holocaust.
Radio Globo is the main media outlet in Honduras still supporting the deposed Honduran President, who was removed and exiled by the Honduran military, acting at the orders of the Honduran Supreme Court with the approval of the Honduran Congres. Ellner is currently being built up into a brave martyr for Honduran democracy by the US and international mass media, because at one point the current Honduran government shut down his station.
And what did this paragon of humane and democratic virtues say, exactly?
“There are times when I ask myself if Hitler was or not correct in finishing with that race with the famous Holocaust. If there are people that do damage in this country, they are Jewish, the Israelis. I want to name, this afternoon here in Radio Globo, by name and last name, who are the two officers of the Jewish army who are working with the Armed Forces of our country and who are in charge of carrying out all these conspiracy activities and undercover actions and everything else that is happening to the President of the Republic.
“After what I have learned, I ask myself why, why didn’t we let Hitler carry out his historic mission. Forgive me for the grotesque expression. But I ask myself after I have realized this and many other things. I believe it should have been fair and valid to let Hitler finish his historic vision…”
Need I point out that, even if everything Zellner was saying regarding members of the "Jewish Army" supporting the Micheletti government was true, even if Zelaya actually were the legitimate President of Honduras (rather than a criminal who forfeited the Presidency by taking an action which the Honduran Constitution explicitly stated would have that consequence), this would still not have justified Hitler's murder of millions of Jewish civilians who had absolutely nothing to do with any plots against Honduras? If, say, there was some Hondurans who had hijacked an American airplane, would America be justified in deliberately murdering of the entire population of Honduras? Still more, would we be justified in doing so because of a warning that, someday, some Hondurans would hijack an American airplane?
Why do I bring up hijacked airplanes? Because
David Romero Ellner, currently being praised as a hero of the free press by the liberal media, began his career as an activist with the Communist party. He co-founded the People’s Revolutionary Union, better known for its Cinchoneros armed wing which carried out numerous terrorist attacks. In 1981 they hijacked Flight 414 to New Orleans and took its crew and passengers hostage, demanding the release of other Honduran leftists.
In 1988 they carried out an attack on US servicemen in Honduras wounding four outside a disco. Their overall attacks on US troops claimed 28 casualties. They also kidnapped the Vice President of Texaco and seized an OAS office and took hostages. And ironically, considering David Romero-Ellner's outrage over the raid on Radio Globo, seized radio stations to broadcast leftist propaganda.
In other words, in addition to his odious anti-Semitism and his support for Zelaya, the Bane of Honduras, Ellner is a terrorist. The chances are that if he were throroughly investigated, we would discover enough on him to put him for the rest of his life in US Federal prison. And this is the man who the media wants to make into a hero?
But at least he's good to his family, right? Well, no.
Rising from his days in the PRU, David Romero-Ellner became a key figure in Honduras' Liberal Party, the party of Manuel Zelaya. In the process he functioned as both an elected official of the Liberal Party and the "official" journalist of the Liberal Party. All that fell apart in 2002 when his own daughter filed sexual abuse charges against him. David Romero Ellner had begun sexually abusing his daughter when she was only 10 years old and continued doing it for over a decade, including raping her at his own birthday party.
Hey, that's not very nice! What was his daughter's opinion of all this?
"From an early age I’ve identified him as a powerful person, because of his influence, his violence, his firearm, his friends and his ability to dominate us. His domineering power meant that my relationship with him was one of fear. He always frightened me. I never understood why he was touching me. I never wanted it, but I put up with it out of fear, out of subjection, until it became intolerable. When he penetrated me, my whole life collapsed around me. I decided to leave. I was frightened, but I left."
Hmm, you think that maybe he's not such a nice guy?
It's damning enough that Zelaya would choose such a scumbag as one of his main political allies. But of course Zelaya himself, and his master Hugo Chavez, hold similar opinions (though they may be nicer to their own families):
Anti-Semitism is nothing new for Zelaya's Marxist thugs. The anti-government riots have been accompanied by anti-semitic graffiti and suggestions that the Jews control Honduras. And Zelaya and his men are nothing more than a finger of the arm of Venezuelan ruling thug Hugo Chavez. The "ideas" put forward by Zelaya and Romero-Ellner come straight from Venezuela.
Once in power, Chavez ushered in the largest modern day government persecution of a Jewish community outside the Middle East. Anti-semitic graffiti signed by Chavez's supporters has become ubiquitous. Synagogues and Jewish schools have been raided by Chavez's police, both officially and unofficially.
Does this sound like the actions of a progressive leader?
Sadly, given the decline of the modern Left, this is pretty much par for the course. The really bizarre thing is that many of the leading lights of the media are Jewish: in supporting Chavez and Zelaya they are supporting people who despise their "race." And, in the case of at least one major Zelaya ally, who wishes that Hitler had murdered them all.
