Follower of Fascist Lyndon LaRouche Wins Texas Democratic Primary

“Amer­i­ca on Verge of War with British Empire”; The Econ­o­mist; 3/4/2010.

Com­ment: Although the “Econ­o­mist’s” droll treat­ment of this accen­tu­ates the absur­di­ty of LaRouche’s ide­ol­o­gy, his orga­ni­za­tion is not fun­ny and the inroads it is mak­ing in the increas­ing­ly igno­rant, self-destruc­tive, so-called “pro­gres­sive” sec­tor is not fun­ny either.

KESHA ROGERS has just won the Demo­c­ra­t­ic pri­ma­ry in Tex­as­’s 22nd con­gres­sion­al dis­trict. Ms Rogers is a...colleague? Admir­er? Follower?...of what her web­site calls “the world’s lead­ing eco­nom­ic fore­cast­er”, Lyn­don LaRouche. I first encoun­tered Mr Larouche’s eco­nom­ic fore­casts back dur­ing the Rea­gan-Mon­dale cam­paign, when he ran an extra­or­di­nary long-for­mat tele­vi­sion com­mer­cial warn­ing that Amer­i­ca was about to run out of meat. What’s real­ly amaz­ing about this guy is that his organ­i­sa­tion is still around. You’d think any­one giv­en to such odd­ly non-com­pelling apoc­a­lyp­tic visions would­n’t have a chance against the big play­ers, but appar­ent­ly he’s still out there brain­wash­ing away, so you’ve got to give him cred­it for a cer­tain amount of tal­ent and ded­i­ca­tion. . . .

  1. Alvin, if you could just won­der on down to Texas and use your mag­i­cal pri­ma­ry-win­ning abil­i­ties ASAP that would be real­ly help­ful:

    Lead­ing Tex­an Demo­c­ra­t­ic Sen­ate Can­di­date Com­pares Oba­ma to Hitler
    by Noah Roth­man | 3:02 pm, Feb­ru­ary 25th, 2014

    In what has to be a blow for Demo­c­ra­t­ic par­ti­sans who were con­vinced that state Sen. Wendy Davis (D‑Fort Worth) can sin­gle-hand­ed­ly turn the Lone Star State blue in Novem­ber, the Texas Demo­c­ra­t­ic Par­ty appears to be on the verge of tar­nish­ing its rep­u­ta­tion. Accord­ing to a poll con­duct­ed by the Uni­ver­si­ty of Texas and the Texas Tri­bune, the fron­trun­ner to face like­ly incum­bent Sen. John Cornyn (R‑TX) in Novem­ber is Kesha Rogers. She is also some­what… unhinged.

    Orig­i­nal­ly flagged by HotAir’s Guy Ben­son, the poll shows Rogers lead­ing her near­est oppo­nent in the race to face Cornyn, Dal­las area den­tist David Alameel, by 8 points – out­side the poll’s 6.04 per­cent mar­gin of error.

    But Democ­rats might be care­ful what they wish for…

    As an acolyte of peren­ni­al pres­i­den­tial fringe can­di­date Lyn­don LaRouche, she believes the U.S. econ­o­my is secret­ly con­trolled by a cabal of Lon­don finan­cial insti­tu­tions,” wrote Dal­las Morn­ing News reporter Nick Swart­sell in Decem­ber. “She’s parad­ed around Hous­ton with a giant pic­ture of Oba­ma sport­ing a Hitler mus­tache and com­pared the Afford­able Care Act to 1930s-era Nazi eugen­ics poli­cies.”

    That’s right. Her cam­paign even fea­tures a video on her web­site com­par­ing Pres­i­dent Barack Oba­ma to Nar­cis­sus and advo­cat­ing for his removal from office.

    ...

    Rogers has also made a cen­tral plank of her cam­paign plat­form the col­o­niza­tion of Mars and the fund­ing to pre­pare NASA to use nuclear mis­siles to inter­cept poten­tial earth-impact­ing aster­oids.
