“Always Right”
A couple of weekends ago, Ron Paul was on the NPR quiz-show “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me”. He was given a three question quiz about fringe presidential candidates, which included a question about the political career of one Lyndon Larouche, Jr. As a whole, it was a stab in Ron Paul’s back — fringe candidate asked about fringier candidates. I balk at the implication, though, with ragards to Mr. Larouche — the same with the New Republic side by side profiles of Larouche as “The Crazy Who Is Not Running” with Dennis Kucinich as “The Crazy Who Is Running” — which, whatever one may say about Paul or Kucinich, they are not cult leaders.
Ron Paul finished off by saying that “Lyndon Larouche is always right.” It is a joke I took as roughly equivalent to Homer Simpson’s line.  But apparently this was taken in Laroucheland as this weird sort of wink and nod from Paul — a semi-establishment figure sending a message to the huddled Larouchies. Larouchepac issued a press statement on Ron Paul’s mention, and I passed by a Larouchie-written blog entry which considered it an act of communication. It may be the case that the sentence is taken to heart as the least subtle axiom issued from out of Larouche.
As though the most libertarian elected official in Congress sees eye to eye with a sick parody of a Statist.
LL is/was always right. It is an axiom, proposed by Kepler. Remember: Lyn successfully predicted the outcome of a coin flip 594,375,820,001,1593 times in a row. What more needs to be said?Â
In other news, this sad little story has been taken down:

Depriving us all of one more insight into the mind of a LYM recruit, this one with the saddest of contexts. I did not get there in time to offer up a comment. Ah well.
And the latest EIR-ish pamphlet (as pertains to the standard lackadaisical non-solution to the Mortgage crisis) is subtitled “The End of Our Delusion”, which… is apt. Look for it when the LYMers do their “Rush” as the college terms begin… oh, wait. Printing?

Over on FactNet http://www.factnet.org/discus/messages/4/33628.html?1188615517, there’s an interesting eaglebeak analysis of another LaRouche philippic, parts of a transcript of a May 2006 meeting between LaRouche and the EEC/EC–the European Exec Committee and the European Committee–six months before those two bodies dropped out of the European LaRouche organization.
