I was just watching a spot on CNN reporting that two candidates of
Lyndon Larouche's NDPC have gotten the Democratic party nomination
in Illinois for Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State (is that
right? Lieutenant Governor definitely, just heard the report again.)

NDPC and Larouche were overviewed as basically a radical right group
fighting against homosexuality (pan to pamphlet "AIDS: more deadly
than Nuclear War" and campaign worker "we have accepted gay lifestyles,
it's crazy"), drugs and other bugaboos of such types (nat'l debt etc.)

LAROUCHE IS NOT A RADICAL RIGHT WING TYPE HE IS A TOTAL NUT CASE, READ ON:

Ok, how about this:

Larouche during the 60's went by the name Lynn Marcus and was head of
the NCLC (nat'l coalition of labor caucuses.) This was a (supposedly)
radical left-wing group. A friend went to one of the meetings and
recalls Marcus (aka Larouche) chanting to the audience about convincing
the police they are really homosexuals and their billy clubs were dildos
(no kidding, that was typical of his ranting.)

He has learned to put a suit and tie on, looks like a daddy now and
seems to have the national media fooled but if you stop by one of
their booths and pick up some literature and read it you'll immediately
get 'extreme nut fringe' alarms going off in your head. Try engaging
one of the members in a discussion, a good leading line is 'I heard
Larouche used to go by the name Lynn Marcus' because they are highly
trained (brainwashed?) to answer that one and will get glazed-eyed
and give you 2000 words that will be frighteningly the same if you
try another member in another town ('many great minds have gone by
psuedonyms...')

FORGET IT, THESE GUYS MAKE YOUR WORST MENTAL IMAGES OF MOONIES SEEM
TAME.

This guy is getting mondo-dangerous, I feel like I am sitting by
helpless while I watch the rise of a new Hitler, no joke! Lieutenant
Governor of Illinois!!!!

[just spoke about this with a friend of mine who is a reporter for
a major newspaper (ok, the Boston Globe), he seems to agree the whole
thing is frightening and finds the CNN report 'irresponsible' in the
way they presented NDPC. I guess the Globe ran a story trying to shed
a little more light on this event. Apparently (according to him)
Stevenson (who is considered a shoo-in for governor of Illinois) is
threatening to form a third-party if the democratic party does not
find a way to undo this candidacy as he will be forced to run and
serve with these nuts which he has stated he will not do, the NDPC
is accusing Stevenson of being another Marcos etc etc.]

(if you don't hear from me again....)

Please, Please, if all you know about Larouche is some of the reports
heard over the national media then you don't know nothing about him.
Before forming any opinion get some of his literature, maybe attend
a meeting (warning: in his earlier NCLC days rumours of kidnapping
casual attendees as government agents were rampant, approach with
caution!) or wait for some facts to start showing up on this list,
I think you'll all soon agree that for some bizarre reason the Democratic
party in Illinois has nominated members of an extremely dangerous fringe
group that does not fit into any right/left model at all but is rather
the product of the total megalomaniacial insanity of Larouche and will
(hopefully!!!) go down in history with names like Jim Jones and Reverend
Moon or worse.

THIS IS SCARY!
