THE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE SLATE IS DOWN TO ONE<\/strong><\/p>\n

RACHEL BROWN UTTERLY DESTROYED BY MEDIOCRE KENNEDY<\/p>\n

The debate analysis.\u00c2\u00a0 We are getting debate analysis from Michael Goldman, a democratic political consultant.<\/a>
\nKennedy is the runaway frontrunner in this race and he held his own in his first televised debate.<\/a>
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153There was no reason to vote against Kennedy before the debate for most democratic primary voters and there wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a reason to vote against him after the debate so basically it was a wash for him,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Goldman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And yet the conditions were ideal for an upset… or something amounting to a “Moral Victory”.\u00c2\u00a0 Low voter turn out and all that.\u00c2\u00a0 A somewhat unusual date for voting.\u00c2\u00a0 Thursday<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We really want to emphasize that it takes place on Thursday, not Tuesday,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Town Clerk Marianne Staples.<\/em>
\nStaples said she expects voter turnout to be at about 20 percent.<\/em>
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Historically with the primaries there is a lower turnout. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to see better than 20 percent but there is little competition on the ballot,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Staples said.<\/em><\/p>\n

So Rachel Brown makes her pitch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a Hitler policy, and must be repealed immediately\u00c2\u00a0 Another stimulus package would add to the hyperinflation\u00c2\u00a0 This crisis is too big to be solved by cutting, or taxing!<\/em><\/p>\n

Rachel Brown<\/a>:\u00c2\u00a0 “The issues facing the country now are thermonuclear war and hyperinflation, both of which are imminent if Obama is re-elected. The only reason we haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t passed Glass-Steagall, which is the only way to stop the bailouts causing hyperinflation, and the threat of war behind it, is because of resistance from British-run Obama,” Brown said in statement.<\/em>
\n Brown also proposes investing in space and science research, including the North American Water and Power Alliance water project, which she said would solve the water crisis and create 6 million productive jobs, and provide full funding for NASA.<\/em><\/p>\n

And OOOO. \u00c2\u00a0Howie G BURNS Kennedy<\/a>.
\nBUT NOT AS BADLY AS THIS COMMENTER… AND<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 A Kennedy liberal versus a LaRouche conservative. Should be real old fashioned intelligent exchange of ideas and solutions. LOL<\/em><\/p>\n

And so we have the results…<\/p>\n

John Fitzgerald Kennedy… 36388… 90.1 percent
\nRachel Brown …\u00c2\u00a0 2611… 6.5 percent
\nHerb Robinson … 1368… 3.4 percent<\/p>\n

Delving into more local results to see where Brown County lies, Robinson County lies, and etc within this district.<\/p>\n

Localized Dover results<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 On the Democratic side, Joe Kennedy III bested Rachel Brown and Herb Robinson; the totals there were 249 for Kennedy, 13 for Brown, 11 for Robinson, with 11 blanks.<\/em><\/div>\n
Norton<\/a>
\nAccording to the unofficial results supplied by Town Clerk Danielle Sicard, Kennedy walked away with 455 votes against fellow democrats Rachel Brown who earned 41 and Herb Robinson who garnered 10.<\/em>
\nNeedham<\/a>
\nIn Needham, Kennedy won the Democratic nomination with 2,118 votes, easily beating opponents Rachel Brown (110) and Herb Robinson (86).<\/em>
\n<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n
\n

Analysi<\/a>s.\u00c2\u00a0 Although she was trounced in yesterday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Democratic primary, the fact remains that 180 Newton voters<\/a> thought it was a good idea to vote for Rachel Brown yesterday.<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0 I personally find that unsettling.<\/em><\/p>\n

To bring you off the ledge:\u00c2\u00a0 Rachel Brown got less than 3% of the primary vote. Statistically speaking, if you put a dining room table on the ballot it would\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve gotten more votes \u00e2\u20ac\u201d probably a lot more votes<\/em>.<\/div>\n
I guess it may be significant Brown beat Herb Robinson, even as Robinson had more resources at the ready<\/a>.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
KESHA ROGERS PROFILED<\/div>\n
Huffington Post picks up on the latest Kesha Rogers news<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 In such a politically polarized country, the Texas-22 race could have national implications. Hinojosa said the Democrats had a real chance of picking up that seat in the district if KP George, Rogers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 main Democratic opponent, won the primary.
\n<\/em>Oh, who are you fooling?
\nRogers said she wasn’t worried about not being invited to the party’s national convention. “I have no reason to be in Charlotte when the American people are suffering and they need leadership,” she said.<\/em>
\nWhere did the whole “Find a Replacement for Obama at the nomination” thing go?\u00c2\u00a0 Did that just fall by the wayside with fewer resources and a too old Larouche to badger the delegates with?\u00c2\u00a0<\/em> See Howie G<\/a>:\u00c2\u00a0 Time to get the man in the mirror to do something.\u00c2\u00a0 There won’t be much of an environment after a thermonuclear war.\u00c2\u00a0 Time to get Obama out, preferably before the Democratic convention. Don’t be an opportunistic turncoat like Hilary Clinton, fight now.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/em>Well, that whole promised for crusade turned out to be a dud.
\n“Right now my concern is for the prospects of the nation surviving,” she said. “If Obama commits thermonuclear war, I won’t have to worry about November and neither will you.”
\n<\/em>That’s a relief!\u00c2\u00a0 Must be referring to the latest?
\nIn a\u00c2\u00a0tight,stark presentation\u00c2\u00a0of a\u00c2\u00a0mere 35 minutes,\u00c2\u00a0Lyndon LaRouche PAC’s latest video documentary, “Unsurvivable”\u00c2\u00a0presents\u00c2\u00a0the\u00c2\u00a0horror\u00c2\u00a0of the thermonuclear war Obama is leading the world<\/em> … And here it is<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0Starts with a nuclear blast. \u00c2\u00a0Not just any nuclear blast … a Thermonuclear blast.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And with that…\u00c2\u00a0 Brains and Eggs endorses Don Cook as the closest thing to a Democrat running in the Texas 22nd Congressional District<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Kesha Rogers’s online campaign calendar had No campaign events listed through August<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 And nothing yet for September.\u00c2\u00a0 I know she was out there lending some musical accompaniment to the Rachel Brown campaign, but otherwise her staff of 12 aren’t bothering to publicize her appearances on her campaign website.<\/p>\n

Into the Huffington Post comments section… a larouchie chimes in with, Point:\u00c2\u00a0 :\u00c2\u00a0 Ms. Rogers says she would not caucus with either party. Caucusing and making a difference are two different things. Ms. Rogers will make a difference, and is already making a difference, as exemplified by her leadership on many issues, all of which are laid out on her web site and campaign literature<\/em>. \u00c2\u00a0 Uh huh.\u00c2\u00a0 Counterpoint:\u00c2\u00a0 How will she make a difference? By running a campaign based on the plot of the films Men In Black and Independence Day<\/em>?
\nThe best of the “She so crazy” comments:\u00c2\u00a0 Didn’t think there was anyone crazier than Cynthia McKinney and Michelle Bachmann….but here you go<\/em>… ’cause it’s bipartisan.\u00c2\u00a0 Beyond that there’s some confusion that spill about.\u00c2\u00a0 She hasn’t been elected to anything, unless you count onto the ballot in November.<\/p>\n

DIANE SARE PROVIDES AMUSEMENT TO NEW POLITICOS BEYOND CHRIS CHRISTIE<\/p>\n

Former candidate for NJ’s 5th district, LaRouche Democrat Diane Sare intervened into a town hall meeting in Clifton, NJ hosted by Congressman Bill Pascrell Wednesday night.<\/a>
\n<\/em>That Reform Party guy in tow?<\/em><\/p>\n

Meanwhile Diane Sare finds herself increasingly bitter at the American people.
\nThe Enemy is not Syria or Iran, but the Stupidity and Corruption of the Person Facing you in the Mirror<\/em><\/div>\n
Which I guess follows her leader’s comments.<\/div>\n
In remarks to associates Lyndon LaRouche took on the real crisis inside the United States, that of the cowardice of the American people.<\/em><\/div>\n
And on we go back to this…<\/div>\n
The following is a statement released by former congressional candidate, Diane Sare, NJ-5<\/em>
\nLyndon LaRouche has given you many opportunities to wise up. He warned that Richard Nixon was going to take down the Bretton Woods System, which he did on August 15, 1971<\/em><\/div>\n

… <\/em>and yet he was a (marxist) supporter of Nixon against the Kennedy clique that was working to bring him down over a bogus Watergate….<\/p>\n

I know Larouchies took over the New Jersey Reform Party… kinda… or, a Larouche sympathizer was kicked out of the party is a better way to put it… this is amusing, but probably not right:\u00c2\u00a0 My guess is that Occupy has been pretty much taken over by the LaRouchies and anarchists\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6let the head busting begin. Looks like you’ll get your dream team of Willard the Rat Man\/Eddie Munster after all. Woo-hoo<\/em><\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 I think I can dredge up negative comments from official Larouche publications on Occupy, after trying to float into it.\u00c2\u00a0 And Anarchists were always a big part of Occupy.<\/p>\n

LAROUCHE SAYS STUPID CRAP ON ALEX JONES SHOW AND<\/strong> etc.<\/p>\n

A headline in today’s larouche outlets.\u00c2\u00a0 LaRouche’s 90th Birthday Marked By Variety of Prominent Russians\u00c2\u00a0 Congratulations to Lyndon LaRouche on his 90th birthday continued to be published online in the Russian-language section of the Internet today, the day of LaRouche’s jubilee<\/strong>. Among the highlights was Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine leader Natalia Vitrenko’s greeting letter, published on the PSPU website
\n<\/em>Actually this reads pretty well identical to the annual birthday messages on the website of the Korean Central News Agency of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea<\/a> for the recently deceased dictator of North Korea — a tradition I assume with the new guy. \u00c2\u00a0
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

And so we get further messages along the lines of …. This year is the year of LaRouche<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The SGT Report commenters <\/a>are being won over, I suppose.\u00c2\u00a0 Used to be there were comments along the lines of “WTF are you posting this Larouche crap?”\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t see it for this Alex Jones interview linking.
\nWe have the further consolidation into the Ron Paul fan realm with this bunch of comments to a Harley Schlanger interview<\/a>.
\nThe GOP is officially a corrupt and lying entity, and presented their true colors by slamming Ron Paul. The democratic party went down the commode long ago. Seems LaRouche may be our last chance.<\/em>
\nIt makes sense selling the Arrest of Geithner and Paulson to this crowd, but NAWAPA will limit one … which I guess is the point.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s like Liberal fans of Ron Paul who can entertain his foreign policy and civil liberties positioning and drug policy, and not have to sucker into Austrian and Ayn Rand economics.<\/p>\n

And about that interview… The highly acclaimed and recognized historian and former Presidential candidate, Lyndon LaRouche\u00c2\u00a0 completed a stunning interview with Alex Jones on what Americans should prepare for if President Barrack Obama is reelected for a 2nd term.LaRouche will truly make you think about Obama back into office again!Even the conservative Hollywood actor Clint Eastwood just released comments to the media that the GREATEST HOAX TO BE PERPETRATED UPON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE is PRESIDENT OBAMA! – EFG-BN<\/a>
\nEVEN CLINT EASTWOOD?
\nY’know.\u00c2\u00a0 In the past I’ve always flooded over to the comments of the various links at Jones’s prisonplanet and infowars.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t have it in me right now.
\nAh, here’s the good stuff.\u00c2\u00a0 Over at … Silver fans<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Not as universally enthralled as SGT Report… yet.
\nOur friend Sean from SGTreport.com has released another excellent interview with LPAC spokesman Harley Schlanger.<\/em>
\nLOL Larouchepac.<\/em>
\n I have tremendous respect for the analysis of LaRouche model. I am unaware of the issues behind the apparent \u00e2\u20ac\u0153bad blood\u00e2\u20ac\u009d that some people have for LaRouche. I prefer to focus on the excellent concepts that he has discovered.<\/em>
\n The Liberty Movement is steered and funded by\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Give me a break –<\/em><\/p>\n

And Godlikeproductions gets us the declaration of\u00c2\u00a0 “Bullshit” — dated June 21, 2012<\/a> a bad prediction… which, you know… this facebook page shows we can Entertain ourselves with the perpetual predictio<\/a>n.<\/p>\n

Lunatic Outpost asks the question<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Listen to this, days before the foiled assassination! \u00c2\u00a0I think larouche is right but I’m hoping he’s not provocateuring something.\u00c2\u00a0 This guy uses rhetoric to persuade people. Fathead, making generalized statements like ‘the gutless American people’ should take down Obama and if they don’t they’re the enemy, but in no way does he explain how these American people should do it. Yeah, yeah, the people are responsible. They just need to get more serious. Yeah, yeah. We’ve seen how well that goes. Solidarity, blah, blah. Just another mouthpiece.<\/em><\/p>\n

Or, more favorably… \u00c2\u00a0 They need cooperation from the press to get any attention to the issues.. perhaps the 2016 movie will kick start that.<\/em>..<\/div>\n
\u00c2\u00a0That’s the D’Souza film<\/a> which… advances some of the thoughts of David Goldman, actually.<\/div>\n

In other items … Tarpley seems to get this wrong.\u00c2\u00a0 From Factnet, “Fightapathy” points out<\/a>:\u00c2\u00a0 In the latest WORLD CRISIS RADIO (http:\/\/tarpley.net\/world-crisis-radio) around 56:00, Dr. Webster Griffin Tarpley digs into LaRouche for running a campaign ad for Mitt Romney!<\/em>
\nTarpley claims Leandra Bernstein’s LPAC production “Unsurvivable” is fantastic [only] in that it pins potential thermonuclear holocaust exclusively on Obama, with no mention of Romney whatsoever. Therefore, LaRouche supports Romney, and “IS THAT WISE?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Hm.\u00c2\u00a0 It may be around the realm of the Conspiratorial that the Elites are just dumping a candidate slated to lose, which I think was Tarpley and the Larouchies in 1988 on Dukakis… which would hold that Romney is essentially a non-entity put in place to lose the election.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 But there’s … comments like this one…<\/div>\n
Neither of the current candidates represents the human race, and we have to have one that does, LaRouche said. This has become especially urgent, since the human race is now on Mars!<\/a><\/em>
\nWait.\u00c2\u00a0 Humans are on Mars?
\nThis showdown could occur within WEEKS! Are you still talking about the elections, the elections in NOVEMBER?<\/em>
\n The Democratic Platform Committee Hearings held recently in Detroit exemplified the type of sophistical arguments people make to themselves about why they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to take necessary action. Although the reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act is probably supported by about 80% of the population, and even Sandy Weill is now promoting it, Newark, NJ Mayor Cory Booker, and other sniveling traitors to the human race, were able to prevent its addition to the platform on grounds that, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s already a bill in the Congress, and that is LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fight, anyway.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/div>\n

Lawrence Freeman talks on Russia Today about the Conventions <\/a>
\nAS WELL… again on Russia TV<\/a>:
\nLawrence Freeman from Executive Intelligence Review Magazine agrees that the US is searching for a pretext to intervene in Syria.<\/em>

We saw the same thing in Libya<\/em>,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0he told RT. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The idea that we should move 50-60,000 troops into Syria to protect chemical weapons is a pretext for overthrowing the government.<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/div>\n
Hm.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Still waiting for Larouche’s return to Russia Today.\u00c2\u00a0 After that one hilarious instance in 2008.\u00c2\u00a0 (He did get on one time afterward.)<\/div>\n

I may as well note that the\u00c2\u00a0David P Goldman wikipedia page (Which had once been essentially written by one David P Goldman)\u00c2\u00a0 has been rolled down to stub level<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Anti-cult PJ Media focuses attention on the David Goldman confessional.<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0 Interesting<\/div>\n

A new page at Larouche Planet shows he worked with a Satanist in the 1970s<\/a>…\u00c2\u00a0 Ironic, as so many of his battles through the 1980s and early 1990s — say the Franklin Cover-up<\/a> — concerned alleged Satanism.\u00c2\u00a0 Actually, they’re always battling Satan, aren’t they?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here’s the crux of Jehovah’s Witness support<\/a>.
\nAnd interestingly, even though the collapse of the USSR supposedly took intelligence agencies by surprise,\u00c2\u00a0LaRouche forecasted\u00c2\u00a0the event a few years before it occurred.

And what you get when you read old Larouche stuff.\u00c2\u00a0 These papers are fascinating, in a car-crash sort of way, much like a political intelligence letter from the\u00c2\u00a0LaRouchies<\/em><\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0Zaid Hamid<\/p>\n

\nA long time ago, south of Pittsburgh (rt. 51 near Overbrook, for those of you who know the area), someone sprayed this on a railroad trestle:
\nFree LaRouche<\/div>\n
Kill Satan
\nSometime after that, some inspired soul amended it to readThings to do today:

3. Kill Satan
\nAnyway, LaRouche: crap.<\/div>\n
These guys have a small but noticeable presence here every time an election rolls around, and they get the Monster Raving Looney Party treatment from the media – probably because they’re easier to poke fun at than the neo-nazi party that crawl out of the woodwork every four years. Their last manifesto was the Glass-Steigal(sp?) thing (which few Danes have an inkling of and even less care about), and the solution to the Danish economic crisis? A high speed train link across the Kattegat to Sweden that uses the electromagnetic floating train system something something something
\nThey must have some resources though, the last two elections there were a surprising amount of posters and pamplets going around. Not fringe party level at all. Maybe they believe that a very small group of dedicated people with crazy ideas and access to large amounts of cash can change the world?
\nIn any event their politics are a load of cobblers, but they do provide a bit of comic relief when it’s necessary, so crap with chuckles.<\/div>\n

Dateline Phila<\/a>What is happening?\u00c2\u00a0You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need to know much about the political activist, Lyndon LaRouche, to understand the photograph\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s statement. \u00c2\u00a0But to ease and shorten the discussion, it may help to know that many people feel that LaRouche and his opinions are extreme and kooky. \u00c2\u00a0And yes, he and his supporters truly believe that President is leading us to Nuclear War. \u00c2\u00a0That leads us more quickly to the point of the photograph: \u00c2\u00a0Here we have a rabid supporter handing out pamphlets, yet his efforts seem to be for\u00c2\u00a0naught. \u00c2\u00a0The girl\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s passive expression indicates where she stands, or at least where she doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stand. \u00c2\u00a0She has no interest in what has been offered, and she is clearly passive. She actually seems to be ignoring him. \u00c2\u00a0This photo is therefore a bit of a comment about the LaRouche movement: No one seems be taking LaRouche or his supporters very seriously.So that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the tale, so let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s get into that editing aspect. \u00c2\u00a0The truth is that Dominic took two photos of the LaRouche supporter. \u00c2\u00a0I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seen the other, but he describes in briefly in response to a comment over at Flickr. \u00c2\u00a0Allegedly, the other photograph features the girl looking at the supporter, possibly showing some interest \u00e2\u20ac\u201c at least in the still frame. \u00c2\u00a0Both photos tell different stories. \u00c2\u00a0One \u00e2\u20ac\u201c which is featured here \u00e2\u20ac\u201c tells the story of the ignored supporter. \u00c2\u00a0The other would imply that the LaRouche movement is stirring up attention. \u00c2\u00a0Which to choose depends on the story that Dominic wanted to tell, and that answer comes in his very curt comment in the photo description: \u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Apparently, our current president is threatening thermo-nuclear war. Not sure I agree \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0 From Dominic\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s perspective, the choice is a bit of a no-brainer. \u00c2\u00a0But of course that requires Dominic \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the editor, not the photographer \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to pay attention to the small details that sway the story one way or the other. \u00c2\u00a0Photojournalism is biased, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t ever let anyone lead you to believe otherwise. \u00c2\u00a0But this is the power behind photojournalism, and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why it is so important. \u00c2\u00a0An image like this can sway opinions and stir up emotion. \u00c2\u00a0Then again, isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that the point?Dateline Bay Terrace<\/a>
\nA pair of political action pals rallying to impeach President Barack Obama fought a protest of their own when they said an irate middle-aged man pushed them and ripped down their posters.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I was scared. The guy was just violent and crazy,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Margaret Greenspan of the tri-state LaRouche Political Action Committee. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m used to people who don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like us, but people who attack us and rip our signs down are not usual. We set up and people try to scare us like that. We have the right to be here.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d […]<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153He said, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcHow dare you put a mustache on Obama in front of a synagogue,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Greenspan, 61, of New Jersey, who pointed to the Benenson Family Chabad Community Center directly across the street.
\nBut when Greenspan said she whipped out her phone to call the cops, the man fled, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153taking off like a bat out of hell.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We were shouting at him to leave us alone. We told him he should be ashamed of himself,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Burke, 26, of New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\nSet up near Buckingham Place, a veterans housing facility, they posted signs featuring Obama with a Hitler-style mustache. That didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sit well with Cleaven Ferguson, a Merrimack resident and Air Force veteran of the Vietnam War, who reached out to The Telegraph because he was offended.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We fought the Nazis because of Hitler\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s policies,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not going to be silent about this right now. I sacrificed and other guys sacrificed for this kind of foolishness? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not going to duck right now. This is war right now if this is the respect the president of the United States gets from people.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nYule said the image of Obama-as-Hitler is the easiest way to show people that Obama is as much a fascist as Hitler.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The truth hurts,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the quickest, simplest metaphorical way<\/strong> to say outright he is a fascist.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nThe group was seeking donations and handing out literature about what they say are the policies of the Obama administration that are pushing the United States and the rest of the world toward \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the very brink of thermonuclear conflict and potential extinction.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Comments:
\nI am ashamed and embarrassed that it takes a man from Massachusetts to post an Obama as Hitler sign, Come on N.H. we can do better than that! Show your disdain for this lying, failed, illegitimate president.
\nRoger Ogden: \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0The Founder of the Black Nationalist movement actually mandated that black groups should emulate white supremacist groups, such as the KKK and later the Nazi Party. He wrote that someday blacks would produce their own “Hitler.” More info here:
\nScott Dichard: \u00c2\u00a0Roger, who gives a shyte? Crawl back in your bunker and put on your tinfoil hat. The Flat Earth Society meets every Thursday at the loony-bin, and you just missed roll call.
\nRoger Ogden: \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0It’s a just matter of history. I know it is difficult for simple people, who have been brainwashed, to grasp. Black nationalist identity religions are similar to white nationalist identity religions. Black Liberation Theology, as even the name indicates, is a black nationalist identity religion, a form of Black Nazism.
\nScott Dichard: \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0And President Bush was a shape-shifting reptilian alien from the planet Zmorph. What has any of this got to do with reelecting the best President since Clinton?<\/p>\n

\nMy husband jokes about putting a LaRouche sign in the yard to see how the neighbors would react.
\nFriend of mine threatens to sign me up as a LaRouche “volunteer” when I piss him off. Apparently, once you’re on their list, you never get off it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TIME TO INSULT RON PAUL<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The difference against Ron Paul<\/a>.
\nPaul knows when he’s funny; LaRouche doesn’t know when he’s funny.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 There are plenty of Paul supporters on Y\/A; LaRouche doesn’t have any of his cult members on here.\u00c2\u00a0 I wouldn’t want LaRouche to know who I am; with Paul it doesn’t matter.\u00c2\u00a0 LaRouche is more of a social conservative than Ron Paul.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Actually this is one of those odd “Neo-Conservative factoids”<\/a>, which works to scrub some common mis-apprehensions.\u00c2\u00a0 (We keep hearing of this rabid Trotskyite influence.)
\n\u00c2\u00a0Still, of the CCNY group, there were only ever four Trotskyists who transitioned into Neoconservatives:<\/em><\/strong> Irving Kristol, the sociologist Seymour Martin Lipset (author ofPolitical Man, published 1960), Kristol\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wife Gertrude Himmelfarb, and the political scientist Martin Diamond, who would meet to lunch in Alcove 2 of the\u00c2\u00a0CCNY\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cafeteria. Hysterical claims by libertarian reactionaries like Ron Paul that the Bush administration was being run by closet-Trotskyists reveal a hatred of real history (see also Congressman Paul\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s reactionary denunciations of the American Civil War), not to mention a paranoid mind-set (see also Congressman Paul\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s flirtation with LaRouchies and 9\/11 conspiracy-mongers<\/strong>).
\n<\/em>… Actually the latter is accurate enough, the former I believe is just Harley Schlanger’s sales pitch — the “If Ron Paul and Larouche could join at the hip they would be unstoppable” dynamic that’s flowing on his forays into various conspiratorial radio and blogspots.
