    This is from Larouche´s official website. I have never heard of him before, so what do you think of him and his remarks:

    http://larouchein2004.net/pages/lhllarconn0918.htm

    There are numerous of websites (even in Germany) that tackle this point of view at the moment...

    I would like to hear your opinion about it - is he complete nuts or making a realistic point?

    Lyndon Larouche is a complete nut. He's notorious for his whacked out views. I hadn't heard from him in so long, though, I was thinking he was dead.

    I'm not commenting on anything in this article specifically since I have not read it, but Lyndon is not a reliable source on anything based on his track record, as far as I am concerned.

    But he appears to make some reasonable points...

    All you need to know about Lyndon LaRouche comes from the following statement in the particular article you linked to:

    <b>People who are crazy, begin to do crazy things.</b>

    Reasonable points if you ignore his entire economic analysis which isn't even close to accurate (I'm only part way through the article at this point, so I cannot comment on the whole thing, but he's wrong on several points on his economic analysis presented relatively early in the article).

    I have to agree with mrpaige. This guy is a psycho. You can twist any situation into agreeing with whatever your philosophy is, and I'm betting that's what he's doing.

    Like mrpaige, I didn't really read the article. He has never had anything of value to say, IMO.

    I, also, thought this guy was dead. A complete and utter wacko in every sense of the word.

    Reading more, he just goes off on the standard conspiracy theories that never seem to pan out to reality (and generally have no connection to the truth at all). I've yet to see a reasonable point yet.

    I always see Larouche fanatics on campus with crazy posters.

    If I remember correctly, his followers were carrying around signs comparing Bush to Hitler...

    Lyndon Larouche is a complete nut. He's notorious for his whacked out views.

    Couldn't agree more. Larouche used to be an extreme Communist in his younger days. In more recent times he is practically a fascist.

    I f I rmember he now is involved in nutty stuff like an international conspiracy of Masons, Jewish bankers and English royalists are trying to take over the world or some such.

    Last I heard he was in US prison for income tax evasion, which just convinced his followers of their conspiracy theories.

    Maybe he has gotten out. He bedevils the Democratic Party by running as a Democrat. One time I believe one of his followers got in a run off for chair of the Harris County Democratic Party.

    When Larouche ran in '92, I remeber one of his quotes was, something along the lines of "Lincoln was OBVIOUSLY half black...look what he did." he's bad news w/ crazy views
