Who is John LaRouche?

[fencesitter]

Some guy had a table set up outside the post office this morning. He had a hard hat on his head, "Bush is Evil" posters surrounding him, and signs and literature for LaRouche. He was shouting at passerbys and most people gave him a wide berth. I've heard of Larouche in the past but who is he?

2. It's Lyndon Larouche and he's a nutjob.

And his followers are like cultists or something.

3. Could swear it said "John" ...

But yeah, the cult look was in his eyes. I sure was not going to engage him.

5. They're crackpots

I've seen 'em before, and they are just scary looking. One guy I saw looked like the Comic Book Guy on the Simpsons.

6. I agree with all that's been said about LaRouche, but I wonder why

he's going after GWB with such a vengeance. I'm not sure we need his help, since the general public doesn't like him or the tactics of his people.

8. a cat-killing madman

Back in the day he killed some cats, don't remember why, it was the 80s. Not sure why it was OK for Frist and not for LaRouche to torture the kitties, but I think if there is one thing all peoples can agree on, it's that Lyndon Larouche is crazier than the proverbial ****house rat. I would steer clear. I knew a LaRouchite back in the day, and he pretty much acted and talked like someone whose brain had been eaten with a spoon. I'm glad he's opposed to Gee Dubya, but let's face it, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

9. Larouche and his followers

Larouche and his followers were the ones who kept interrupting the Democratic debates last fall.
