Just got approached by a bunch of LaRouche freaks on my street corner.
Those people are creepy -- to say the least. It's also interesting how they are using many of the same visuals as the tea bag whackjobs.

1. They try to appease to the disenfranchised of the day.
Edited on Mon Aug-31-09 12:52 PM by YOY
They appealed to the left's (and anyone logical for that matter) hate of Cheney and Bush a little more than a year ago and back to the beginning of the war.

They goal is to get the upset people of the day subscribed to Lyndon's douchebaggery and brainwashed to accept only his tripe.

The only person they want in power is Lyndon fucking Larouche...and that cat is batshit crazy like Manson off his meds.

7. Yes!
She had her little Obama pic with the Hitler moustache and was holding it up on State Street in Boston. I said "You are still pushing this crap even though Barney Frank made you look like a complete moron on national television?!" She started shouting some crazy stuff, then I'm suddenly surrounded by other Larouchers who were spouting even crazier stuff. I asked them why they supported a convicted felon and one guy said I was just parroting talking points off of wikipedia, and that all of the Founding Fathers were convicted felons. HAHAHAHA!

12. More of a loon? Wow, that takes a lot
They seem like a cult - I have seen them in the past in a nearby town in NJ a few years ago. Then they were trying to win over Democrats - but with absolute lies.

Good for you arguing with her.

13. Thanks!
I saw her with her Obama Hitler sign and just had to say something. Of course her goons immediately surrounded me!

9. It's VERY tempting to throw things at them.
But I just keep my headphones on and give them the angry stare instead. :-)

11. Unless I'm with someone else, I never ride Metro without them.
Screaming kids and yelling tourists would drive me batshit crazy if I didn't. Some days it's enough to make you want to drive to work instead, but I'm being a good little green citizen. For now. :-)
