New Polling data shows Kesha Rogers surging, Rachel Brown falling, Summer Shields flattening.
The Post Office Tour presents us with an interesting “Point / Counterpoint” debate. Enter the Maple Valley Farmers Market stop.
I don’t get out to the Maple Valley Farmers Market as often as I should. Apparently, I missed the Lyndon LaRouche supporters (yes, he is still alive) displaying posters of President Obama sporting a Hitler mustache. […]Fiery language that motivates your voting base is good if you are trying to wake up inactive members, but if you are a fringe group like the LaRouche political action committee, you just look like an angry lunatic. No one likes to hang out with angry lunatics; especially voters with moderate sensibilities, and the politicians that are trying to appeal to those voters.
What these folks have completely ignored is the simple art of persuasion.
Howie G chimes in to disagree, and offers the “If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen” approach.
I think Godwin’s Law is pretty funny, actually. And I’ve seen it in web forums a million times!
You know who else thought that Godwin’s Law was funny? Hitler!
These people hate Lyndon LaRouche, because with meager resources LaRouche has been effective in exposing them and changing history. These are fundamental issues LaRouche has addressed that go back to ancient Greece and Plato and Socrates.
Then again, they have a way of not saying any of this.
Two supporters of Lyndon LaRouche offended passersby in Mukilteo on Monday when they campaigned for the LaRouche Political Action Committee using Obama-as-Hitler posters outside the Mukilteo post office.
The supporters refused to talk to the Beacon for this story.
More discussion on this vital issue follows here. Interesting item that marks the Youth against the Boomers:
(Note: I say “supporters†because I secretly think they hire young actors to hand out fliers… they are suspiciously younger and more hip than what I suspect the typical LaRouche supporter would appear.)
The “supporters†here are not young and hip but appear to be middle-aged working class guys, which adds to the sense of sadness about the whole thing.
This is another interesting bulletpoint discussion.
Those people were SO crazy. I was scared.
That’s nuts. I like your disclaimer at the bottom.
Yeah, stay away from them.
CRAZY!!!!
SO… The new “American System Rothschild” poll has been released. It shows some surprising results. First of all, the percentage of Americans who want to remove Barack Obama from the White House is either 75 percent or 85 percent. Analysts suggest that this result shows that we are ripe for a Mass Strike if only enough people stationed themselves at enough post offices. What percentage of the public would need to serve as these Shock Troops? Analysts suggest that it might take the square root of one percent of the public in order to off-set the competing vibes sent by the Transcendental Meditation Movement.
According to the new polling, Kesha Rogers has surged up to within just six points of Pete Sessions, and is now down just 55 to 49 percent. What accounts for this surge? Analysts suspect it may be due to new tactics in trying to appeal to the Religious Right and district Christian Democrats by referencing the biblical precepts that undermine her proposed platform.
The Rachel Brown Congressional campaign hosted a very high level and unorthodox campaign event on Thursday, August 5th; a community classical concert aimed at getting under the skins and into the souls of the generally liberal community of Brookline and Newton, MA. Here, in the heart of Barney Frank’s supposed-strong-hold, more than thirty people came to the concert held at the Brookline Library. Some were just curious, and didn’t stay for very long, but others were absolutely concentrated and riveted by the combination of music and Rachel Brown’s speech on the optimism and creative spirit of the North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA) infrastructure project.
It appears that the public is growing weary of wandering bands of singers.
The campaign’s organizing into the event was varied, and the attendees of the event reflected that. One key flank was the revival of an old Boston LaRouche Youth Movement tradition; singing on the trains! The campaign also took their music to the streets in the days leading into the event, and distributed leaflets advertising the event at various classical concerts in and around Boston. But, it was not so much the form of the organizing, but the fact that the members of the campaign challenged people to reject the degenerate culture of the Baby Boomer generation that keeps electing Barney Frank, acknowledging that, in a revolutionary period, people are open to recognizing how destructive the culture has been and are ready to embrace something much more beautiful. […]
The Mainstream Media concurs with the description of curiosity seekers.
Indeed, their renditions of classical works from Robert Schumann and other composers were good enough to retain nearly 40 random and possibly duped attendees in the Brookline Main Library last week, at a Rachel-Brown-for-Congress event that at moments transcended ordinary fringe craziness.
At a glance, the show flyers that Brown operatives hung around Brookline appeared to be largely apolitical, with a portrait of Schumann filling the page and the words CLASSICAL CONCERT in big letters. But a closer look quickly revealed something much more insidious: in addition to honoring Schumann’s 200th birthday, the performance was tuned to metaphorically reject “the crazy Obama administration and moral degenerate ‘Bail-Out’ Barney Frank,” whom Brown is now challenging in Massachusetts’s fourth congressional district.
The content of Brown’s half-hour diatribe, which came between the first and second pieces on the program, was no surprise to anyone familiar with her former work. To be found in Brown’s trash heap of unintelligible talking points: “[Obama] would rather the nation collapse than admit he is wrong,” American citizens are no longer being trained to make discoveries, and the United States should tunnel underneath the Bering Strait so as to connect Russia and Alaska. Brown also spent much of her time touting a “future-oriented Mars colonization” proposal, which might answer the question Frank asked her back in Dartmouth: “On what planet do you spend most of your time?” (Watch the entire loony performance — with rant — above.)
The senior citizens and non-English-speakers in the crowd seemed untroubled by, if not unaware of, Brown’s comical indictment of her opponent and Obama. Everybody else just seemed relieved when she shut up and let her comrades bless the gallery with their gracefully executed classical selections. Two apparently well-off 60-something couples simply chuckled at Brown’s inanity, perhaps unaware that her literature tied their lifestyle to the Third Reich: “The culture which [the notoriously anti-Semitic] Wagner represented,” according to the flyer, “was later imposed upon and accepted by the failed Baby-Boomer generation.”
Various respondents to the “American System Rothschild Poll” were largely negative. One person wondered why the tune was set at 256. Still others expressed horror at the morbid allusion to Lyndon Larouche’s death and how everyone needs to start thinking about it.
Malene Robinson, during her discussion of the historic personality of Mozart, set the scene: “imagine you are a group of mourners who are looking at the dead corpse of your leader, who led a revolution, and is now dead, and the whole world is collapsing around you. . .and you ask yourself, ‘what does this mean for me?'” This suddenly became a very real question for everybody in that room. Ask yourself: has it become a real question for you?
The Rachel Brown campaign appears to be not worried about this public relations set-back, perhaps believing that the upcoming “Wienie Roost” set on the day of the anniversary of the day Barney Frank roosted Rachel Brown but good will remind people why she is vaguely memorable. The high profile web-blog wonkette has provided the Event some publicity.
Polling for Summer Shields shows that he has fallen further behind in his Write-In campaign against Donald Duck, Spongebob Squarepants, and oddly enough Lyndon Larouche. Analysts believe that Donald Duck’s rise comes out of renewed name recognition from news stories about sexual assault cases against Disneyland employees. Spongebob Squarepants is expected to win the write-in election, due to his continued omnipresence. Lyndon Larouche is harder to peg, considering:
Speaking of funny on the square in front of our office today a Lyndon Larouche stand was set up. Another bunch of crazies — unfortunately they don’t get nearly as much airtime as the Tea Party. […]
Larouche is ancient news. Sheesh, how long have those crazies been around? Three decades-ish? And yet, despite their very best efforts otherwise, they never viably influenced the Dem Party or its policies. […]
The answers to the above tell you why virtually no one’s the least bit interested in old Larouche idiocy, and why virtually everyone’s interested in recent new TeaP idiocy.
Though it appears Summer Shields has one voter in him, Analysts suspect that Summer Shields’s fall behind Larouche in the polls may be due to Shields’s disappearance when he speaks, and the invariable propping up of the name “Lyndon Larouche”. Analysts suggest that in order to beat Larouche in the coming November election, Summer Shields will have to find a way to distance himself from him. While they believe that Donald Duck has reached his ceiling and can easily be jumped, they are stumped on how he might pull ahead of Spongebob Squarepants — perhaps Shields will have to go on the attack against Spongebob.

Made wonkette again. Gets mixed with other issues.

I live in a really small town. This is so bizarre. I have no idea who the candidate they are supporting is. Will send the other photo of the side of the car. They also have signs on the front that say “pull over†and “stop Obamaâ€. People are stopping and are pissed! A local HS teacher went off on them.

Which then makes me google that (LaRouche is getting close to 90 and only occasionally garners a headline), and then I discover that the Texas Democrats have run into the same problem South Carolina (and Illinois in 86) has, and have nominated a LaRouche supporter in the 22nd District.
LaRouche to me was always half awesome Populist dude with a fetish for Space Exploration, and half tinfoil-wearing crazy who thinks Queen Elizabeth caused the Oklahoma City bombing and Princess Diana’s accident, controls the world economy, personally runs the government of Canada and Australia, and runs the world’s biggest drug trade. So do you think the Royal Family is lazy now?
Interesting. Elitist and Populist.
