Democratic Elected Officials Say:Put LaRouche in ABC-TV Debate

EIR ^ | April 29, 2003 | EIR

Easy.

The dems want this kookburger up there so they can identify him with the Right. Many Liberals equate LaRouche with right-wing fanaticism.

As soon as the "Deate" is over, they can use him against the Republicans.

[pollwatcher]

"Right-Winger?" Didn't LaRouche also head the radical SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) in the '60's? His leadership and organization is best described as a "Political Cult."

[blackdog]

LaRouche has some good ideas for a complete raving nutter. He comes off as an ultra conservative and he is/was a staunch liberatarian when I briefly followed him in the early 80's.

His participation will paint conservatives as lunatics. That is why they want his mug and mouth.

The man has a few roo's loose in he's upper paddock if you know what I mean.

[sinkspur]

As soon as the "Deate" is over, they can use him against the Republicans.

But he's a Democrat; the debate is billed as a Democrat debate; and he'll be bashing Bush (only in extremis) the same way Kerry and Edwards will.

The idiot fringe of the Democrat party might want him, but the candidates don't want LaRouche to end up in a GOP commercial profiling "presidential candidates."

[fishtank]

The Dems used to have a president who SHOULD have been a convicted felon, now they are pushing a guy who IS a convicted felon.

[blackdog]

The feds convicting LaRouche over campaign and his organization's financial practices sort of presents a certain definition of hypocracy and irony though, you'd have to admit.....

If the same financial laws applied to LaRouche were applied to the entire body politic, congress would have to change it's start time to coincide with yard exercise at Allenwood.

I am certainly no LaRouche fan, but the guy certainly has an equal protection argument.

Why would anyone want that psycho to particpate?

Dunno about anybody else, but I would love to have LaRouche and Sharpton each on TV for an hour with big Democratic Party banners clearly visible on the lecterns in front of them and the wall behind them.

[Eva]

They are trying to create a new Perot. Let's counter with requests to include Al Sharpton.

[fishtank]

No congresscritter that I know of has ever solicited money for a magazine subscription to "Fusion" for about $35 a year and then after they got your credit card number, they then charged you for a subscription to "Executive Intelligence Review" for $400 a year without your approval.

That's what LaRouche did to my parents and THOUSANDS of other people, which is why he went to jail.

[fishtank]

LaRouche is a leftie big time. Yes, he was for SDI, but he's defeinitely a socialist. Look at his writings.

I have a magazine of his from the late 70's or early 80's - it is full of articles on Marxism- Leninism. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP.

[ClaireSolt]

Implosion!

[PetroniDE]

You forgot John Wayne Gacy (a local democrat hot-shot from Chicago) who was executed for the murder of 33 people.

[goldstategop]

The Dems are wackos. Once Lyndon LaRouche was a fringe extremist; now he's right at home in the Democratic Party. He should join the debate if only so viewers can see next month just how spaced out the Democrats are. The Jackass of the 21st Century.

[blackdog]

I subscribed to his newspaper(weekly thing that quoted Jefferson in it's title). I used to read it after long drug induced awake periods of many days. His reports of his physisists conquering fusion and his geometrical arguments governing circumstance were exactly what my head needed to divert my attention from pruning the trees in my yard at 2:00am.

I was too poor to have credit back then, and I paid with my subscription by check. I guess I didn't need "Executive Intelligence" to not give him access to additional spending of my money. Good, my bad.

I ran out of stuff to do around the house and it seemed that every time an amphetemine induced brilliant job that needed to be done like splitting stone at dawn, grafting trees at midnight, or building more bee hive sections in December only caused me to ache for a week. Much like giving up amphetemines was a good thing, so was the passing of my interest in LaRouche.

The early 80's were a strange time.

[fishtank]

LOLOL!!!!!!

You are a genius!!!

Imagine where LaRouche would be now if he'd stayed out of jail? By the way, it was the evil Reagan/Bush admin that stuck him in jail - he has a vendetta against the Bushes. --- kind of like Perot's vendetta but much more sinister.

[blackdog]

One universal lesson can be learned by the Larouche scenario. It's much like Leona Helmsley and the IRS......

You don't gnaw at the nerves of those who can swing the sword. His messing around with Maggie was what caught up with him. Had he not made those "Margret Thatcher is a drug dealer" comments I think he'd of skated.

That "only the little people pay taxes" line by Leona was a real dose of salt on the IRS's papercut too. It's really curious, that process of showing up on the prosecutorial radar of the feds. Larry Flint will join them soon with his quest for nude Bush daughter photo's for $4,000,000. I'd say that bought him his own personal radar transponder.
