Politics LaRouchebags Outside of Group Health Today

I feel king of bad for the brainwashed kids - did a bunch of research on LaRouche and was shocked at how manipulative and mind-controlling this group is. What a fucking cult. Maybe they should partner with $cientologists?

I hate the LaRouche asswipes and have actually spat on them at Westlake Plaza before. But Obama Hitler? Not even close, Obama as a raging homophobe? Well, that would be closer to reality.

I was approached by one of these people in downtown San Francisco a few years ago. I said something mildly disparaging about Larouche (I believe they were running him for President at the time or something), and the young guy instantly flew off the handle and started yelling at me. Not only that, he pursued me down the street for almost a block, continuing to yell at me. Given what an insane spectacle he was making of himself, I didn't feel the need to reply in kind.
He was not aware of the optics of the situation, having come unglued, but he was quite large (and male), and I am quite small (and female), so I can only hope I helped him further tarnish the Larouche brand that day, if such a thing were possible.

I find willfully confusing L Ron Hubbard with LaRouche usually exasperates them enough. OBAMA=HITLER is almost as amusing as their previous HEY GUYS AL GORE IS FAT (FUCK THE BRITISH) ramblings.

La Rouche, you mean the guy in the Tom Cruise cult? No... So the guy who believes in the aliens? No... is he the one with that radio show??? (this line of conversation will keep them busy for hours...)
10
These guys asked me the other day if I'd like to talk about Obama's "Hitler policies". All I could do was smile and walk away...I wasn't in the mood to argue about dead Jews.
11
I've taught my kids, ages 12 and 9 to flip them off when we drive by their stand in our neighborhood.
14
if they are still there on my walk home from work, that table will be upside down. Dude looks about as imposing as Ned Flanders.
15
Is that the shadow of a rearing horse in the foreground, ready to trample the fratfuck and his card table into the sidewalk?
16
The LaRouchebags park outside the UW school of business about every other week. It's become an art form to avoid them.
17
That's nuts!
We're clearly in the start (not end) of our own Weimar Republic. The apt comparison would be Obama = Brüning. Any one with any brain at all can see that Obama's economic policy parallels, and is sure to have similar results to, Brüning's.
Obama may share with Hitler the vision of a totalitarian, autocratic, single party, national socialist dictatorship, but his emerging policy of tight credit and the coming rollback of all wage and salary increases will be hugely unpopular and will hopefully result in his political irrelevance before he can accomplish his more over reaching ambitions. Even he fears this... thus the rush to nationalize health care while he has the requisite political capitol.

I am pretty much a peaceful guy but my first reaction is to walk up and cold clock punch them in the face.
19
LaRouchies should take a gold brick, wrap it up in a lemon, and smash it against their head repeatedly.
That will save them a lot of time.

These nuts were in Montreal's subway all week long. I asked one guy why Larouche was against public healthcare and he started yelling at me.
21
There was the time that I was walking past Old Navy downtown, deep in conversation, and reached to take the packet that someone handed to me, noticed slightly too late that it was La Rouche-related, screamed and dropped it like it was on fire.
24
I just saw these idiots down at the Pike Market. I called them fucking morons and they seemed a little surprised.
27
I had a similar experience to #6 here in Seattle. It was the first time I'd ever decided to talk to them to find out what their deal was, asked a couple questions, and this guy started yelling at me. WTF? I walked away with him yelling at me halfway down the block. Such a great way to convince someone of your point. Batshit crazy, IMHO.
28
#4. Yes, he's such a tremendous homophobe and totally hates the fags. I'd hate to break it to you, but you're at least as stupid as the Larouchites.

The 'guy' in the pic is actually a female... Long stringy ponytail down the back.. She was with another female.. I made the mistake of trying to engage them in conversation... She came out from behind her little table and asked me how I could support Obama if he's "going to be killing millions of people with his healthcare reform." The crazy was coming off her in waves... She began to get loud and I had to walk away, as my break was over.. Good times, Good times...
31
This on the heels of yesterday's tragedy, how can something like this even be permitted in public.
Racist groups have been on the rise since the election of our President.

They're not real LaRouchebags unless there's some tweaked out teenager bum rushing you all aggro and shoving pamphlets in your face.
35
thank you zander @5. that would have been the perfect thing to go up and ask them in all sincerity.
36
i grabbed for the poster to rip it, but it was laminated. the kid tried to grab my arm and i flinched and made like to punch him in the face, just as a split second reaction. He started screaming like a baby and his ladyfriend called 911 so Obama's jackbooted nazi stormtroopers could come to their rescue. ha. you'd think they'd have more cajones if they are willing to stand out there with the sign. what a bunch of racist d-bags. I had to laugh though when i saw the black hebrews cult back at west lake center, they too had an obama poster, but in this one he had horns and a tail!
38
The irony of seeing LaRouche crazies protesting HMOs outside of Group Health... of course, it's not like accuracy has ever been a big concern of theirs.
39
The LaDouchies didn't particularly bother me until they decided they were Democrats and started showing up at the Legislative District meetings and trying to disrupt the proceedings and take over. They made the mistake of doing that at at least one LD with a high percentage of military veterans, and I had the distinct pleasure of watching their skinny crazy asses escorted with great firmness off the premises. No crazies were harmed in the process, but I don't think their feet touched the ground once a couple of ex-Marines decided they needed to leave.

They've been around a LONG time, and are sort of a cameleon group, re-forming and changing names a lot. 35 years ago or so I remember they were standing by the U District Safeway on Brooklyn, and selling their newspaper, "New Solidarity" (this was back when they were still posturing as leftists). My favorite headline was something about Rockefeller engaging in cannibalism (I wish I could recall the exact headline).
Their rhetoric is amazing. One phrase I recall from the 70s or early 80s was their reference to some other group as "a pseudo-religious zombie cult".
I just Binged (the new Google) Rockefeller+LaRouche+cannibalism and found this gem:
