"A third quote by Ortez Colindres surfaced yesterday, made during an interview with a Honduran television station and cited in El Tiempo newspaper:

"He negociado con maricones, prostitutas, con ñángaras (izquierdistas), negros, blancos. Ese es mi trabajo, yo estudié eso. No tengo prejuicios raciales, me gusta el negrito del batey que está presidiendo los Estados Unidos."

"I have negotiated with queers, prostitutes, leftists, blacks, whites. This is my job, I studied for it. I am not racially prejudiced. I like the little black sugar plantation worker who is president of the United States."

The U.S. ambassador to Honduras, Hugo Llorens, responded in the strongest possible terms yesterday:

As the official and personal representative of the president of the United States of America, I convey my deep outrage about the unfortunate, disrespectful and racially insensitive comments by Mr. Enrique Ortez Colindres about President Barack Obama.

Statements like this are deeply outrageous for the American people and for me personally. I am shocked by these comments, which I condemn in the strongest terms. "

This is the face of the right wing upper class in Honduras, and in fact, in Latin America. They are related ideologically to Sarah Palin and Rick Warren but are "whiter" than both put together. These are the people that start smears of Chavez, that are trying to assassinate Evo Morales in Bolivia and to sabatoge Rafael Correa's efforts to force Exxon to clean up the disaster they made in Ecuador.

They are the scum of the earth, with apologies to actual scum. I'm horrified at this man's comments and hope that Obama knows exactly what kind of people he's dealing with. They've gone out of their way to present themselves as they really are.
