I can remember the LaRouchies during the 70,s and 80's and they remind me of the Paulites of today.
Both Larouche and Paul are conspiracy theorists and are very good at luring ignorant idealists from the left and the right.
I don't believe in coincidences like this.

The only thing is that Paul people are capitalists who are just against regulation by making anti-capitalist comments...weird group to be sure.

RP might have many negatives but his foreign policy views make sense especially to the soldiers who have had to put up with our bullshit wars in Iraq & Afghanistan.

(163,986 posts)I watch BookTv on the weekends to try to keep up with what is being published. Just about every weekend some RP supporter interrupts the Q&A session with some wildly off topic question, rudely interrupting the whole event. And there are usually two or three of them.
