my favorite LaRouche moment was circa 1983 when he bought a half hour of prime time TV (back then it was still the big 3 networks) informing the american public about how the USSR wanted moscow to be the new Rome. he traced the roman empire to the then current political situation and how the soviets had to be stopped as this was their sole aspiration as a nation. that may have been the first time i heard the term "wingnut" and it was used by our political science teacher.

isn't larouche a convicted felon and not eligible for office? i know he got busted for wire-fraud or tax stuff.....
