Any Body Hear About Franken Getting In A Scuffle At A Dean Rally ???

[WillyT]

Just heard it on the radio a moment ago. Apparently the LaRouche idiots showed up again and started yelling their 'whatever' at Dean, and Dean asked for security to remove the dude. Apparently Franked got involved in the scuffle and busted his glasses.

You guys know anything about this? I haven't been able to find a link yet!

1. The LaRouchites have been a real pain in the ass, haven't they?

What caused this sudden desire to disrupt our primaries, I don't know. But they like physical confrontation, I'm not the only one that has nearly come to blows with them.

2. Too bad Franken didn't bust the guys nose.

Those LaRouche people are nothing but trouble.

3. If the LaRouche idiots rough- up Franken......

they are bitting off more than they can chew. All camps love Franken!

5. I Was Wondering The Exact Same Thing !!!

How do we know for a fact that they ARE LaRouche supporters??? Just cause the media tells us so?

I'm wondering if these rallies and primaries might be seeing more violence in the next several months! I hope not, but...

Remeber the hired guns from D.C. that went down to Florida to stop the recount? I'm afraid we're goin down a similar road now.

:grr::nuke::mad:

6. If this happened, Franken will chase it down.

You can count on it.

Love the man

13. Reading his book right now

"Big fat Liars and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them." It's good.

7. At a Kerry rally yesterday, the guy said he was for La Rouche.

But of course now days that doesn't mean it is true.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

12. Kerry handled him great

The crowd tried to shout him down. Kerry said: "this is america, let him speak", the guy babbled for a bit and Kerry finally forced him to ask a question, which was inaudible. Kerry answered: No. and moved on.

He is one patient fella...

[shance]

14. Of course hes going to say hes from LaRouche.

You think hes going to expose the true source behind the disruption?

[goodhue]

8. watch c-span

They are clearly Larouche supporters. It takes about 3-4 sentences before they start talking about their guy being ignored. What I wonder is how much are they getting paid? Or are there really that many true believers.

9. Ignored... Is LaRouche Even ALIVE ???

Reminds me of the 'Francisco Franco Is Still Dead' bit on SNL many years back. I mean, is the guy running ads anywhere? Has he showed up to any events in person? Has he been frozen solid for future runs for the presidency???

:shrug:

On edit: spelling, again...

[Gin]

10. I recognize the name but know nothing about him...he was on CSPAN rerun

today as a candidate. Alive (but not wel) I guess.

[incapsulated]

11. He's running ads, alright

There have been a few threads about them. He still alive and still running, he will never stop, arghh!

[sleipnir]

18. Sadly, LaRouche has raised more money than Kucinich

According to the recent matching funds from the Government.

[Spirochete]

15. What year was that

when Phil Donahue beat the shit out of a Larouche supporter who got in his face at an airport? I remember hearing about it, but I didn't get a lot of details. I think it was in the late 70's/early 80's?

[WillyT]

16. Still Lookin For A Link, But No Luck !!!

Heard it on ABC Radio twice, but even ABC doesn't have anything on it.

:shrug:

[Logansquare]

17. They are pretty crazy people

If they're hungry for violence, they should try getting into a Bush fundraiser.

[TheWebHead]

19. Has LaRouche even done any on the ground campaigning?

the guy's 80 years old, I assume he's done little time drumming up support in either Iowa or New Hampshire, but has these goons everywhere... Even Greenspan when he was in Belgium was asked a long-winded question by a LaRouch supporter earlier this month.
