Is LaRouche campaigning in your area?

[sbj405]

For some reason, the area around my work seems to be their favorite place (MD just outside DC). I never see them anywhere else. I passed a group handing out his pamphlets today. I politely declined and expressed my opinion ("LaRouche is a whacko"). The guy was quite passionate "He's the future we need" :eyes:

Just curious, is this a geographical anomaly or have you seen his people out campaigning near you?

1. You BETTER BELIEVE IT!!!

And nobody comes off quite as wacky as a LaRouche supporter in Chicago. We look at them in a similar fashion to the guy on one street corner with a bullhorn talking about Jesus and the other guy linking everything in the world with a Communist conspiracy.

5. They sometimes stand at a stoplight. . .

we pulled up in a government vehicle. Of course, we weren't about to roll the windows down. They began pounding on the windows. Thankfully, the light changed pretty quickly.

2. Having seen his pamphlets...

what does his platform look like?

4. I didn't take one, but given

the big pile of discarded ones around the corner, I'd say he's wasting his money.

3. I do see his people campaigning here

I have exchanges like the above at least once a week. So - it is an anomaly, but not a geographical. :shrug:

6. Yep they're here in Ann Arbor Michigan

At first I thought it had something to do with the Dawn of the Dead remake.....

7. My impression

I ran into some LaRouche people in San Francisco when I was shopping on Height Street last month. Their modus operandi seems strangely similar to the Mooney's of the 70's and 80's.

LaRouche is running his organization like a cult, so my guess is his "campaign" is a source of income for whatever his long-term political and personal goals are -- taking my cues from the Moon cult parallel.

8. God I hope not! The guy is certifiable.

Did write some interesting tomes, tho.

I was involved with that bunch when in college.

Perfect definition example of a cult.

Very frightening.

9. Yes, here in the burbs of Los Angeles

they always have their little table set up outside the Post Office.
