Reply #11: For those of you that were lefties in the early 70's... [View All]

...you might recall LaRouche's National Caucus of Labor Committees (NCLC). These folks acted like regular Brown Shirts - they were thugs that broke up meetings of left organizations and threatened people with physical violence. Since LaRouche had been a member of the Socialist Workers Party before he was expelled in the mid-1960's he seemed to take special pleasure in having his goons harrass meetings and forums organized by the SWP. I remember attending a Militant Labor Forum at Portland State University in the early 70's when LaRouche's NCLC goons showed up and harrassed those in attendence. In my book LaRouche is a lunatic version of a Hitler without a movement. With power I believe that he would be every bit as dangerous.
