last week my mailbox, along with the rest of the policy grad students', was stuffed with the latest wacko-tract from ex-felon, sociopath, fascist nutbag and perennial presidential candidate larouche.
it's sad is what it is. . jason, the guy mentioned in this wikipedia entry on the "larouche youth" movement was my friends' college roommate from stanford. after being mind-swept by larouchies, he left to brainwash other once-bright idealistic younguns. so long, stanford! hello, crazy!
consider this famous larouche quote:
"I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU ORGANIZERS -- by taking your bedrooms away from you . . . What I shall do is expose to you the cruel act of your sexual impotence . . . I will take away from you all hope that you can flee the terrors of politics to the safety of 'personal life.' I shall do this by showing to you that your frightened personal sexual life contains for you such terrors as the outside world could never offer you. I will thus destroy your rabbit-holes, mental as well as physical. I shall destroy your sense of safety in the place to which you ordinarily imagine you can flee."
the washington post did a fantastic article on him in 2004 -- read it here. brainwashing, inexplicable murders, international intrigue. it's a fascinating story. too bad it's real. and the proof is in the crazy-eyes of all the larouche youth on DC streetcorners and, apparently, at least one crazy in A2.
for more fun, check the FEC database to see if anyone in your town is nuts enough to donate to him. you'll be amazed how many there are.
