Can I ask if anyone has thoughts on Lyndon LaRouche?

Postby Jenny Lynn » June 26th, 2009, 8:47 pm

Hi all,
I've been interested to hear if anyone here on ArmyRanger.com has any thoughts on Lyndon LaRouche?

I've had a few individuals, colleaques discuss Obama's Health Plan and it's similarity to Hilter's health plan oh so many years ago?

Following is link to LaRouche's political action committee's video on discussing their committee's view of the health care bill out there:

I honestly have not been keeping up on this matter but I am interested in hearing from others who have.

Thanks, Jenny

I have had dealings with LaRouche supporters/campaigners and have found them to be dishonest, manipulative and delusional.

He is a wacko - not the usual politician type of, but a cult type of.
He was "big" in the '80s, as I recall. No reason to see him get richer by staging a 21st C comeback.

In the 1980's he had an international following. he was very popular in Europe as well as Central & South America among the right wing. He was charged in the US with stealing money from senior citizens using their credit cards. Thankfully I had not heard much about him for some time.

IIRC, he was the one that blamed the British royal family for the current internation drug trade - Queen Liz as the Cartel Boss of bosses :roll:

I saw plenty of LaRouche literature and LaRouche supporters while at the university (graduated 2005, so recently). I thought they were a bunch of nutjobs. The other few conservatives and libertarians thought they were nutjobs, and the liberals thought they were nutjobs. Hell, even the Communist Chinese kid who spoke good English and rattled the party line constantly thought they were nutjobs.

I hope that clears things up.
