Your Dick Armey, representating Freedom Works — an organizer for those there Disrupting tactic protesters, has an interest in assigning all mentions of Obama = Hitler to the Larouche org.\u00c2\u00a0 Rush Limbaugh has an interest in telling a “Barney Frank Fag” joke, as well keeping his perogative in pronouncing Obama as Hitler.\u00c2\u00a0 I haven’t looked into Sean Hannity so don’t quote me on this, but he appears to be brushing the Larouchie into his band of merry agitators — Barney Frank stomped on her, dagnabit. (Live by the Sword, die the sword?)\u00c2\u00a0 Here we see Bill O’Reilly make an attempt to hedge his “Merry Band of Agitators” with a disclamer that the first person there was not real and instead\u00c2\u00a0a \u00c2\u00a0“political activist<\/a>“.\u00c2\u00a0 (Er.\u00c2\u00a0 Bill.\u00c2\u00a0 They’re all “political activists”, as much as you define that as a slur.\u00c2\u00a0 Actually the problem here is that his point could have and would have been served better by not mentioning her.\u00c2\u00a0 Later in the program O’Reilly chats with Dennis Miller, an interesting conversation I’ll post in the comments, and floats another item of dishonesty by calling the Larouchie a “plant”.)\u00c2\u00a0 But wait.\u00c2\u00a0 Hold on a Minute!<\/a><\/p>\n

Every network and most cable stations played the confrontation between Rachel Brown and Barney Frank in their prime time programs, mostly featuring Buffoon Barney’s question about “what planet are you from?” as if it showed he was tough, standing up to the “crazies,” even though most left out Rachel’s LaRouche connection. Most revealing is that both Rush Limbaugh and Jon Stewart, both the right and the left, showed the video of the confrontation, made clear that this was LaRouche vs. Barney, and then suggested that the proper response to Barney would be to note that he was from Uranus – adding another of Lyn’s jokes to popular culture<\/strong>, along with the now famous moustache. It is unlikely that Barney will bring up other planets again.<\/em><\/p>\n

I didn’t catch that oen with the Jon Stewart clip<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe I’ll have to go back and watch it a third time.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s almost certainly told the Uranus joke in the past, oh so ironically juxtaposed next to something more high-minded, for instance.\u00c2\u00a0 (Post-script: He meant Stephen Colbert<\/a>, probably.\u00c2\u00a0 Interestingly there, Stephen Colbert has used the visual “Hitler Mustache” image as a running joke.\u00c2\u00a0 Witness the “Hitler Mustache” on the old man here <\/a>for another good visual gag.).\u00c2\u00a0 In the anals of the Larouche cult, Larouche is responsible for oh so many things.\u00c2\u00a0 SDI, for instance.\u00c2\u00a0 SDI and apparently the Uranus joke.\u00c2\u00a0 SDI, according to wikipedia <\/a>(always right, except when it’s wrong, and as always watch this space<\/a>)\u00c2\u00a0 was fathered by Daniel O. Graham, Peter L. Hagelstein, and others.\u00c2\u00a0 The Uranus joke I had always thought was authored by this kid I knew back in Kidnergarten — name of Alex.\u00c2\u00a0 Now I know better.\u00c2\u00a0 The LYM \/ LPAC film team should get right on that historical docu-drama.\u00c2\u00a0 Get me Robert Beltran for narration!<\/p>\n

Anyway.\u00c2\u00a0 Rachel Brown.\u00c2\u00a0 Who’s she?\u00c2\u00a0 She is the young “volunteer” of the Larouche organization who Barney Frank shot down.\u00c2\u00a0 That is surely enought to catupult her to the top of the pecking order in terms of future Larouchie presidential contender, right?\u00c2\u00a0 Do you know who Lane Hudson is?\u00c2\u00a0 He is the man who shouted out a question about DADT and DOMA during a Bill Clinton speech a week ago.\u00c2\u00a0 Let’s compare blog results for these two names using blogpulse<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 (Finally able to upload these things.)<\/p>\n

Another way of working this might be to chart “Barney Frank”, “Larouche”, and “Rachel Brown”.<\/a><\/p>\n

Hm.\u00c2\u00a0 “Rachel Brown” and “Larouche”.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/a>Wow.\u00c2\u00a0 Who’s getting the fuzzy end of the lollypop here?\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, she may be better of off not identified.\u00c2\u00a0 Prsumably she’ll have to put this in her past post cult life, and as David P Goldman “Spengler” discovered recently, artful lying is in order — the more traces there are, the harder it is to minimize.<\/p>\n

Mike Malloy (mentioned in my last post) brought up the Barney Frank questioning at the beginning of his radio show Wednesday night.\u00c2\u00a0 He did not mention Larouche, which was interesting because (as I posted) he relayed a scene with a deployment the night before.\u00c2\u00a0 He said (roughly) “When I see an expression like that, I know that one of two things is happening between her ears.\u00c2\u00a0 It has either been emptied, or it has been filled with snakes.”<\/p>\n

The Larouche org will take the non – mentions as a sign of a media and Elite conspiracy, and play it up to their organization.\u00c2\u00a0 First sign of that was this taking <\/a>on a stray Huffington Post mention arguing that the media was giving too much attention to “crazies”, that they shouldn’t be given any more attention than Larouche.\u00c2\u00a0 They may even be ready to slam a supposed victory at Conor Clarke with his admission that he has no interest in looking into this further<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 (Amusingly enough, the Larouche organization rather clumsily slammed a puff piece he wrote for the New Republic — I read that to be somewhat in lieu of any reaction to a more substantial piece <\/a>Avi Klein was working on for the Washington Monthly.\u00c2\u00a0 Not that I can criticize Clarke much for delving into an asterisk and footnote of American politics.)<\/p>\n

Heh heh.\u00c2\u00a0 He said “Uranus”.\u00c2\u00a0 Heh heh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
