LaRouche endorses Kerry
http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2004/3132lar_victory_plan.html

nstead of the "me too" posture that had become all too familiar to close observers of Senator Kerry, in the weeks leading up to Boston, Kerry sharply distinguished himself from President George Bush, vowing never to bring American young men and women to war without a strategy of "how to win the peace."

The stage had been set for Kerry's speech by several retired military flag officers, including former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. John Shalikashvili, who addressed the convention, and Vietnam War hero Max Cleland, the former U.S. Senator from Georgia, who introduced Senator Kerry. Both General Shalikashvili and Senator Cleland typified the World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans, who are mobilized to defeat Bush-Cheney, because they see, in the lies and butchery in Iraq, a replay of the horrors of Indochina, which they collectively vowed would never again bring the nation to shame and international condemnation.

4. The GOP has Don King...
...and we get Lyndon LaRouche.

Seems to balance out.

5. From your link...
The DNC's attempt to keep politics and LaRouche out of the convention was an utter failure. ... LaRouche forces were everywhere, distributing the LaRouche Platform, and copies of the ground-breaking pamphlet exposé, Children of Satan III. The "Children of Satan" series, which exposed Cheney's perpetual war doctrine, laid out the grounds for his impeachment, beginning in April 2003, just one month after the Iraq War began. These pamphlets, which launched the exposés of the neo-conservative cabal inside the Bush Administration, and the determination to rid the United States of that Cheney blight, were in reality what dominated the convention.

Is it just me or does LaRouche sound more democratic than this "centrist strategy" ???

8. Sweet Jesus!
No. Centrist strategy is democratic because the majority of Americans are centrists.

LaRouche is a neo-facist lunatic. The only thing democratic about him is his dislike of certain monarchs.

To claim he is more democratic than democrats is myopic and ridiculous.

6. Gee, Mr. LaRouche. Thanks. I think.
We'll need every vote we can get if we are going to win this thing in spite of whatever attempt the Bushies make to fix the election.

Otherwise, an endorsement from LaRouche is about a valuable as one from Boss Tweed, Al Capone or the lunatic in the local asylum who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt. La Rouche in some way resembles each of those people.

9. question for someone with legitimate information (not a witch hunter)
How old is LaRouche, how hands-on is he with his group and does he have others leading his organization who will take over if he retires?

12. Here is a link to windows media player 40 minute interview
Scroll down to the very bottom. Also his right hand man Jeffrey Steinberg was interviewed several times in the past so many months here.Its just 1 click and it runs in simple Windows Media Player not the annoying Real which will glitch out all the time.

www.talkone.com/rensearchives.htm

I dont think this will work after the 14th as it will require a paid subscription.I liked the Steinberg interviews much more than LaRouche plus Im not a huge fan of the host.I get the feeling that though these conspiracy views are quite far out that these folks are extremely smart.The host is a libertarian though his website generally is considered left wingish.

I was more happy to see David Hatcher Childress was being interviewed. I love reading his books but never heard him interviewed before.Might just listen to that while Im off work.

14. I just had a look
Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 12:37 PM by 69KV
at the Larouche website to see for myself what this guy is all about. Methinks he thinks much too highly of his influence. Isn't Larouche just a minor crank with a handful of followers? Yet here he is on his website claiming that he caused the entire Kerry acceptance speech to be rewritten, because of some pamphlet his followers were passing out outside the convention. I don't buy it for a second.

I also didn't see anything on his website saying that he is endorsing Kerry. He is still listing himself as a presidential candidate.
