“Children of Satan”* and its long subtitle “Sexual Congress something something” versus “Stop Obama’s Nazi Health Care Plan”?  This demonstrates a shift of style from prog rock, with its long orchestration complete with two minute musical noodling interludes, to punk rock — quick two minute songs riffing three chords on the guitar.  The Lyndon Larouche movement has moved from Yes to the Ramones.

(Sigh.)  Okay, they are receiving more media attention than they have in twenty years.  That being said, it’s very much an asterisk.  An asterisk that allows for some inner contemplation of “Real Player Intrigue”, but an asterisk nonetheless.  On an “Ed Show” (that’s tedious talk radio host Ed Schultz, here with a panel discussion between… talk radio host Michael Medved and talk radio host Stephanie Miller.  Maybe CNN has a point?)

MEDVED: Let me just say, I honestly believe that the people on the fringe who are saying outrageous things — those posters of Obama as Hitler were done by Lyndon Larouche, who, by the way, is a registered Democrat.

The damnedest  “Reagan Democrat” out there, I suppose.

So, I turned on the radio (am dial) this morning, round about 6 am.  And the “News at the top of the Hour” for CNN had a blip of Barney Frank contesting an “Obama — Hitler” questioner.  The media loves a fracus.  And there we have it.  The Lyndon Larouche organization at one of the long time enemies: Barney Frank.  The answer to Barney Frank’s question — “What planet do you spend most of your time on?” — is that it has a url address.   Why is Barney Frank an enemy of theirs?  An interesting question — supposedly a matter of ethical transgressions, but the Larouche organization has a history of standing up for support of black politicos of far deeper and clear ethics problems than Frank.  I conjecture they narrowed the search of an “enemy” through “high profile”, “Banking Committee” and then landed on “Gay”.

I flipped the dial to the Liberal station, KPOJ — local radio host Carl Wolfson, and his co-host (not Heidi Tauber).  They more or less opened their show with the Barney Frank fracus.  And And they categorized the sign waver as a person pumped with the meelee, parroting the line of Rush Limbaugh.  (Wait a bit and they’d have known the truth — note Washington here.)

I feel like I’m in on some really stupid inside joke.

Flash back to our next talk radio host.  And here I found a response to this factnet posting about a New York Larouchian deployment in a heavily Jewish populated New York City district — “Really, what would are they supposed to think?”

I need to get a quick brief on Mike Malloy’s politics out of the way, which I can do with two bullet points.  #1:  Al Franken, his eyes on a political future, forbid Malloy promos from being run during his program.  #2:  It is believed that Malloy was fired from Air America for having a friendly hour-long interview with Webster Tarpley.

Round about 8:30 last night (I say because that’s when I had the radio on), Malloy read a letter from a listener regarding what sounded like this very spot and this very Larouche deployment.  The upshot was a description of a large number of elderly Jewish people ripping this “obviously expensive printing job” (Okay, now I feel like I’m in on some very sick inside joke with that one) in half.  And a question, “Do you really believe these people, a lot Holocaust Survivors, are being led to a state like Nazi Germany?” was met with a cold defiant answer of “Yes.”

I am somewhat disappointed with Bill Maher with this.  The Maher producers have no excuse in not being able to identify them in their extended sessioning, and no excuse in excluding them from this clip — the cast of the rest of the “Crowds” makes their point well enough.  One other fact, not terribly well known, is lost in this thing, and I return back to the “Is this a dumb inside joke?” question.  No, they don’t have Health Insurance — the Central Org in Leesburg dropped the Baby Boomers’ coverage some months back.

Of course, this whole item is a bit of an inside joke, and why — frankly — I never quite bought Avi Klein’s exectation on the death of the cult, or the former members’ statements like this.  It half-lifed twenty years ago, and has just sort of reached its final level, to three-quarters life away after the cult leader finally passes.  The “in” that the small number off on the margins of the margins of the troubled college-aged receives is an illusion of being in political intrigue nobody else is quite privvy to.

It is worth mentioning a rather bizarre item of “Playing Both Sides“, akin to the “They’re Single Payer Advocates leading a vanguard of conservative ‘Tea Party’ Advocates”.  A concern over the conspicuous gun displaying that is taking place has settled into these procedures.

As expressed by the Larouche organization with this.

Hence, the NEXT BIG THING for the Larouche organization, after I suppose they might declare victory of one sort or another with Health Care — or let it pass over when the annual Economic Armageddon comes in October — appears to be concern over Great Britain’s Planned Assassination of President Barack Obama.  It is worth noting, that this had been a previous “BIG THING” last December, when they — for instanced — tied it in with the support of the corrupt black Boston city council-member Chuck Turner (seen here with in exchange of blurred green).  Meaning, the summary of their tropes for Obama for 2008 and 2009 is, roughly:

Obama = Hitler.  (or, privately, monkey.)
Stop the British’s Obama Assassination.
Obama = Hitler.
The British planning to assassinate Obama.

And it appears this bit of cognitive dissonance can be played out for the duration of Obama’s four or eight years (or… eep… some other number?)

There are important side notes always available to drop.  A supposed internal battle between the Clintons and Obama is a key one.  This, of course, makes no ideological sense, except that the Larouchies have it firly in their story arc an “in” with the Clintons.  A show of how little sense this makes, and how inorganic it is, can be shown with Bill Clinton’s speech before the “Netroots Nation” convention (which, I think, is where this deployment item comes from).  Clinton defened Obama’s Health Care policies, the most quotable line being “I`m telling you, I don`t care how low they drive support for this, with misinformation, the minute the president signs a health care reform bill, approval will go up, because Americans are inherently optimistic.  Secondly, within a year — within a year, when all those bad bad things they say are going to happen don`t happen, and the good things do begin to happen, approval will explode.” — tending to negate the “Death Panels” concern.  And he said to be prepared to take “less than a full loaf“, which would tend to be a plea of support that runs counter to the supposed Larouchian “single payer” position.

None of this demonstrates anything anyone doesn’t really already know, but if partisans insist on lobbing the “stink bomb”, a bit of context seems important.  I am guessing that in this moment of footnote triumph, Larouche is receiving a smidgeon of relatively mainstream media interview requests.  From what I understand, this would basically be brushed aside — the better to avoid the fiasco of his appearance on  — and he’ll fall back to that Salt Lake radio outfit, and he’s probably due for a Jeff Rense appearance, don’t you think?

Meanwhile, out in the broader world of politicing — Limbaugh and company will try to  innoculate themselves by pointing to the Larouchies (Dick Armey too!)– (small update: apparently Limbaugh won’t — yet, opting to tell a Barney Frank joke that a Larouchie might tell — see my explanation on why they chose Barney Frank as Enemy), and the liberals will branshish the Larocuhies with their brush  — better off somewhere with this woman (:36), a bad example for their cause.

* It is a show of time passing that when I searched the phrase “Children of Satan” in a database, what popped up sort of academics explaining its hate-group use (for some context to the Holocaust Museum shooter, for instance) and not the series of L-PAC pamphlets put out during the Bush Administration.
