I found something curious about this blog entry. (I have “LaRouche” marked in bloglines.)

For the purpose, I’ll post from an online encyclopedia wikki thingy.
LaRouche did not stop all political activity while in jail. He ran for president again in 1992, met with international personages, and gave interviews. During part of his imprisonment he shared a cell with televangelist Jim Bakker, who later wrote of his astonishment at LaRouche’s detailed knowledge of the Bible. LaRouche was released on parole in 1994. Jim Bakker (born January 2, 1939 in Muskegon, Michigan) is an American televangelist, Assemblies of God preacher, and evangelist beset by scandal, and the former host of The PTL Club (PTL being an acronym for Praise the Lord and People That Love) with his then-wife Tammy Faye Bakker.

Hence, it’s noted here.

OR:

One of his cellmates was disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker, who later described LaRouche as amusing, erudite and convinced their cell was bugged. “To say that Lyndon was slightly paranoid,” Bakker wrote in his autobiography, “would be like saying the Titanic had a bit of a leak.”

Which is probably the only documentation about the Bakker — LaRouche relationship.

excepting this deleted comment:

Saw Bakker on Larry King one night after his release. He said he learned alot from ‘ol Lyndon!

Curious as to what this means, and suspect it means nothing. (Another weird factoid: in a list of “Saturday Night Live reoccuring characters, Al Franken is listed as having played Lyndon LaRouche.)

…..

Any response to this?

So what if I use some of LaRouche’s arguments for destroying any credibility that free-trade might have in the eyes of human beings?

No? Didn’t think so. Scaredy Cats the Whole Lot of You!
