Dateline Boston:

It’s a really rainy, raw, windy day in Boston. I’m walking up into Downtown Crossing to have lunch. There, I see a table with an “Impeach Obama” sign on it. Keeping the table were 5 young men. […] I wanted to know what these young men had to say to back up their want of impeachment. So, I asked. I was directed to a big sign under the umbrella with about 9 different statements. The first statement was that Obama supports and defends Al Qaeda. I stopped right there and asked how/where did they find this “fact” and in what way(s) does the president support Al Qaeda. One of the young men asked me, “You don’t know?” I said, “No! Please tell me. How is he supporting Al Queda?” None of them could answer my question. They kept throwing the “you don’t know?” back at me. Then, one of them came up to me kind of laughing and said, “We don’t have to talk about this to you.” Nice, huh? So, I told them that they needed to do some research (and research is NOT opinion pieces in the news) and that they were idiots if they couldn’t back up what they’re asking people to support.
I used to sing to them: “LaRouche, La Rouche, LaRouche is on fire… we don’t got no waterlet the MF burn…They didn’t get it.
How LaRouche tabling brought down a President”–Said no one EVER
Ah, Lyndon LaRoucheStarted in the 1950s…guess who gave Lyndon his start? Koch family money.  (this is a new meme I’m starting to see.)
I had an encounter with one of his followers a number of years ago and posted about it in my journal on the old DU2.  http://journals.democraticunderground.com/drm604/7
I always say “Gold isn’t coming back” in a loud voice.  That usually gets them.
Just the act of walking past as I did at my Post Office a few days before the presidential election, got a hostile response. They glared at me the whole time for not stopping to talk, though I was trying to avoid eye contact and get about my business.
I’ve only encountered them in person outside the post office, but their websites are completely dodgy and insane. They seem to occupy the same slice of violent and weird that Scientologists do.And there’s this:   They tried to take over at a precinct meeting where Kucinich was talking to my local Democrats.  They’d littered the literature tables with material. The regulars were speechless. Dennis skillfully, but firmly, shut them down when they started their ‘Impeach Obama’ spiel during the Q&A.  I know some who have had problems with these cult members in their community, because that’s how they behave. They are an international group and are on community access stations with their weekly broadcasts. I don’t know how they are supported financially to go out and do these things, but they remind me of the WBC group in vitriol if provoked – which is not hard to do.

SAVE THE POST OFFICE.  POINT:  then there wouldn’t be any place for the LaRouchies to protest President Obama which would deprive me of excellent entertainment.
COUNTERPOINT:  Let me know when you head out this way. It would be nice to see another DUer, but be careful around the post office since that is where the Larouchies hang out.

Winchester speaks! Do you remember when the KKK came to town??

Dateline Fernandina Beach
Political paraphernalia is available for those who are interested.  No, the timing of their arrival is not related to the  Amelia Island Concours D’Elegance, but they are delighted they came during a high traffic period.  And finally, they are very pleased with the warm welcome they have received in Fernandina Beach.
Thanks for checking this. I was worried that they were a local group and I would have to organize a counter demonstration. I didn’t want to do that because I am seriously afraid of these crazies.

Dateline Cecil.  (Interestingly published in the “Cecil WHIG”.  Should align with the supposed “Whig” affinities of the movement, right?)
Two days after a pro-Second Amendment rally (a bit of relevance in terms of finding the lines of political demagoguery — go where the Hitler images are ) brought an estimated 400 people to the sidewalk on East Main Street in Rising Sun, a quieter protest was held over a card table on the sidewalk in front of the U.S. Post Office.
Gerry Belsky and Chris Schmid from the LaRouche Political Action Committee were inviting people to stop at their table and sign a petition to impeach President Barack Obama.
“There are people up here who I understand are very upset about Obama,” Belsky said.
Kathie Brumfield was one of them.
“I’m for anything that gets him out. He’s just a dictator,” she said as she signed the petition.
Belsky went so far as to call Obama “a megalomaniac and a narcissist.” […]
Along with the petition, Belsky was encouraging people to support the restoration of the Glass-Steagall Act, which he said would rescue the American economy and create jobs.
Belsky said efforts also have to be made to protect the space program, especially its defense projects. LaRouche, he noted, was President Ronald Reagan’s “go-to guy for the Star Wars Defense System.”
Brumfield, who recently retired, had additional concerns.
“Have you ever known any president to have constant parties?” she said. “And what he’s done to Medicare is a damn shame.”
“I worry about what he’s doing for the military,” Collins said, adding he worries that more trouble is ahead.
“(Obama) will be out of office by the time all this has taken place. Then they get (Hilary) Clinton and it’ll go from bad to worse,” Collins said.

I don’t think the sliver of “concerns” with this guy and the Larouchies in the Vinn Diagram is all that big.

Straight Dope  Dateline Kirkland.
And not that one correlates with the other, but then of course less than a mile away camped outside of Costco was a “impeach Nobama” table with posters of Obama sporting a hitler stache. Kirkland is a class act I tells ya.
If it makes you feel any better, the people with the Obama-Hitler-‘stashe poster were probably Larouchies, and everyone whose opinion matters stopped paying attention to them decades ago.

Dateline Germatown.  Who Are Those Weird People in Front of the Post Office?
I first noticed these folks last winter, while driving down Pilgrim. Curiosity got the best of me and I pulled over. The fellow manning the display soon identified himself as an adherent of the political philosophy of Lyndon LaRouche. I had heard of LaRouche before, a perennial Presidential candidate known for his wack-a-doo ideas. I knew that I wasn’t dealing with a rational person. […]
The LaRouche website is full of pseudoscientific technobabble. They state the Second Law of Thermodynamics to be false. They claim to have developed a new physics of cosmology and a new theory of evolution. Oh, if only the scientific community could see the error of its ways! […]
The funniest thing about the appearance of the LaRouche organization in Germantown is that many local Tea Party/Republicans, seeing the Impeach Obama signs think-”Hey, that’s our folks!” Frequently, people signal the LaRouchies with a thumbs-up or a honk, or even stop by to encourage these nuts. Little do they know of the organization’s Marxist and Fascist underpinnings. Little do they know of the conspiracy theories and the other kooky views of the bizarre LaRouche cult.
From the Comment:. From someone who has worked in media for years im always shocked when i read something written to mislead and twist reality.

Dateline Lodki:

Only a few feet from Van Der Schaaf, someone had parked a truck with signs challenging the group and its message. The owner of the truck, however, was not present.
“I guess that’s a counter-protest or something,” Van Der Schaaf said.

Dateline Danville:

Dateline Marmora:  With posters of President Obama sporting a Hitler mustache and another calling for the defeat of the British-Saudi empire, two supporters of the LaRouche Political Action Committee drew some attention Outside the Marmora post office on Friday, March 15. […]
“The filibuster broke the Teflon,” he said. “It’s no longer about party. It’s about patriots.”  [Urm.  Nobody’s ever called Obama “The Teflon President”.

We got a Sale!    POINT:  Larouche NAILS IT yet again! Obama is a PSYCHOTIC, and those of us with a “Brain Stem” know it! Obama is EVIL to the vary CORE. He isn’t the Anti-Christ, he’s not smart enough, but I would have to agree with those that claim that Obama is a forerunner to the Beast.
COUNTERPOINT:  Obama is not a psychotic, just another “new democrat” ruling elite lackey like Clinton. Its a stupid comparison with Nero, and counterproductive. 

Blast from the Past:   Election 1980, and the Dalay the Hostages-Gate Conspiracy.  ALSO:  Lyndon LaRouche still remembers the day he learned that Roosevelt’s life had ended. He gained a special kind of knowledge. It has been his responsibility to preserve the meaning of Roosevelt’s role in human history.  Never mind he spent the second half of the 1970s dissing on Roosevelt to fund-raise off the  (newest) “New Right”.

THE LATEST IN INSULT LOBBING:
There is no socialist party in the United States. Ok. If you say so. For fun, google American Socialist party, and check out the democrat party connection. Then I think of Lyndon Larouche, a nazi, who was fairly big in the DEMOCRAT party of Illinois. Yeah, good point, comparing republicans to nazis would be kind of lame.

Scientology has Staring Contests… and naturally we get a comparison of cult tactics.  It’s possible that these techniques could encourage someone to speak up, but that’s not the same as communicating effectively. The LaRouche cult helped my husband speak up. He did it arrogantly, often cruelly, and without having listened.
