Every once in a while (actually quite often), people representing Lyndon LaRouche pop up on campus and hand out fliers, hold dramatic signs like "LaRouche Will Avoid World War III" and "Global Depression? LaRouche Has the Answer!". The people yell at students with loudspeakers and basically force themselves on us. One time a guy yelled at me and said "here's your graduation present - world war and economic depression!". Stuff like that. It's genuinely harassing, which is why I never talked to them.
All this time I have wanted to find out more about this guy - not because I am intrigued by what he says (indeed, judging from these people, he seems to be the perfect catch-all panacea for the American public), but because I would like to know what Im up against, so to speak. Im sure there is some catch to LaRouche, I just dont know what it is.
Im sure that many of you who go to big schools have seen these people... does anyone know about this guy? Stone? Anyone? Any good sites where I can read up on him, etc. Thanks.
Nah, I know (I looked up those sites and found them myself), but I wanted to see if anyone had some first-hand info, etc. Stone seems to know a lot about clowns like this. I mean, Google doesn't discriminate - help me seperate the wheat from the chaff, you know?
LaRouche is one of those guys that became a joke so long ago that it's hard to actually identify what his ideological position is.
He's a convicted felon and an anti-semite, I know that. For an off-the-cuff analysis, I can say that I think he combines the worst qualities of Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan - i.e. he's about as bad as you can get. Everything bad about the left- and everything bad about the right- rolled into one guy.
LaRouche is also an infamous spreader of all sorts of nutso conspiracy theories. You know the kind, that someone's out to kill us all, and all that garbage.
"LaRouche followers...describing an alleged conspiracy of Freemasons and the B'nai B'Rith to create and control the Ku Klux Klan. The LaRouche conspiracy theory links together Freemasons, the Ku Klux Klan and the Mafia in a conspiracy against Christian economics and science."
That's awesome. It's just a shame they left out Dr. Doom.
can't wake up
