A herd of caroling LaRouchies

Brian McFadden reports he had the misfortune to be on the Red Line yesterday when they got on his train at Park Street:

... While I almost injured myself in a complicated eye-rolling maneuver, I can take some small comfort in the genuinely hurt look on one dumb co-ed's face when I refused to take her pamphlet ...

This cult must be removed from every campus in the country. Don't administrators have the ability to ban such groups, which prey upon unstable and lonely young people?

Sure, don't let them recruit, but let them go on and on and on. You can't possibly understand what insane and idiotic is until you see their street theater and read their literature. A few lost souls is a small price to pay if their nuttiness prevents later votes for Mike "Christian Dominion" Huckabee and his insane inner circle.

Found a 64-page booklet on the Red Line, entitled "Is The Devil in Your Laptop?" subtitled "The Noösphere vs. The Blogosphere". From the intro page:

"There is a mass-based fascist moement on college campuses. today," LaRouche said,identifying it as presently the greatest threat to the survival of our nation. This threat, he said, has three faces:
  • MySpace, directed by Rupert Murdoch
  • Facebook, directed by Bill Gates
  • Computer games, particularly the homicidal maniac versions

If you allow an entire youth generation to be destroyed by these things, LaRouche said, there will be no future for the United States. Therefore, these three things, presently dominating our culture, must be destroyed, just as a contagious killer virus or bacteriological disease must be properly diagnosed, and cured.

I thought young minds were already destroyed by literacy and printing presses ... or is that radio ... or is that TV ...

But their minds aren't being destroyed like OUR minds were!

It's this new-fangled mind destruction that's the problem.

Come to think of it, LaRouchies complaining about minds being destroyed is kinda funny. So, what, if we play WOW we'll be so dumb we think Queen Elizabeth is a drug dealer?

When Lyndon blamed all the world's woes on Queen Elizabeth, the Trilateral Commission and B'nai B'rith - and proposed a solution that had something to do with laser beams in space. I fear that jail time neutered him.

I wonder what happens when a roving band of LaRouchies meets up with a swarm of Scientologists.

Now......That just might be interesting. Love to see that on TV! Heh!
