Larouche AIDS quarantine

[Ignoramus]

I walked by a Larouche table today and was reminded of my anger about a time earlier in my life.

My mother died as a result of AIDS. Around the time that she was dying, Larouche was advocating putting AIDS victims in quarantine, as I recall. At least, that is what I gleaned from the pamphlet my larouche supporting manager posted above my working area after she learned that my mother had AIDS.

So, I mentioned this to the person at the table and they said I didn't understand, but I walked off before hearing his explanation for how I didn't understand.

So, did I misunderstand something? This seems to say he advocated through the groups PANIC (Prevent AIDS Now Initiative Committee) and (Prevent AIDS Now In California) quarantining AIDS victims in proposition 64 in 1986 and prop. 69 in 1988:

1. I hate that pile of shit.

My brother died in 1989 and I lived in SF during those two ballot measures. Luckily none of those Laroucheites ever showed up in my hood.

2. You know what really, really sucks about LaRouche?

Well, besides being a convicted credit-card scammer and perhaps the king of all tinfoil-hat nutjobs (did you know Queen Elizabeth II deals coke out of Buckingham Palace? :tinfoilhat: )?

The POS runs as a Dem. Really. He even managed to screw up an election in Illinois by getting one of his minions the Lt. Gov. nomination, causing the legitimate Dem to quit the race rather than run on a LaRouche ticket. He is my sole exception to the rule 'Always vote for the Dem candidate." Fortunately, he's not getting the nomination, so there.

3. you don't want to try to figure it out

Larouche isn't just a piece of shit, he is way off the deep end insane. Think Moonie insane.

A quick rundown, if anybody needs to know:

Back when he was still Lyn Marcus, early 70s, I'd run into his followers up here in Canada and paid little attention. Until they stole my boyfriend. Actually, I'd already abandoned him, but I hadn't meant for them to take him. He was a nice classical guitar undergraduate student, politically correct but not active; I dragged him off to New Democratic Party weekends and such, and next thing I know, a mutual friend who had just moved back from Montreal was telling me he'd had a loon knocking on his door campaigning for Larouche for President ... yes, of the US ... yes, this was in Montreal ... and he had just looked at him and said say, aren't you Fred? didn't you go to __U? And anyhow, that was really the last I heard of him, and probably his parents are dead now so don't I wish I'd got in touch with them sometime in the last 30 years and inquired after Fred's health ...

I accosted a bunch of Larouchies in the Boston airport a few years after that incident, me acting all innocently curious - since I couldn't get them to accost me, and I was miffed, given that they had accosted everybody else in sight. I believe that was their Nuke Jane Fonda phase. Turns out that the T-shirt I was wearing, from the course I'd just been at, had warded them off. That had been the first session ever offered by the School of Popular Economics at U Mass Amherst, but they apparently had a line on it already. I was an evil dupe of something or other ...

Anyhow. Keep your lovers away from Lyndon Larouche, and do not read their pamphlets on AIDS! I hope that creepazoid boss didn't cause you any more pain than you already had.
