**BREAKING ** NYT confirms Lyndon LaRouche dead

[hlthe2b]

Rumors over the past day or so, finally confirmed by MSM:

Lyndon LaRouche, Cult Figure Who Ran for President 8 Times, Dies at 96

Lyndon LaRouche, the quixotic, apocalyptic leader of a cultlike political organization who ran for president eight times, once from a prison cell, died on Tuesday. He was 96.

His death was announced on the website of his organization, La Rouche/Pac. It did not specify a cause or say where he died.

Defining what Mr. LaRouche stood for was no easy task. He began his political career on the far left and ended it on the far right. He said he admired Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan and loathed Hitler, the composer Richard Wagner and other anti-Semites, though he himself made anti-Semitic statements.

He was fascinated with physics and mathematics, particularly geometry, but called concerns about climate change “a scientific fraud.”

If by chance, you don't know much about him, it is worth reading the entire obit at the link above. I'll let the NYT speak for me, but he will not be missed by many...

His operation used to be based in Leesburg, Virginia.

I think it was during the 2008 election cycle. She liked that I hated W but she she started in on Obama I let her have it. She was a true believer. I pretty much considered him an irrelevant nut case.

16. "I'm as American as apple pie," Mr. LaRouche once said.

And nuttier than squirrel shit, too.

18. Only the good die young

And LaRouche sure wasn't young.

19. What, again?

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

21. His followers will be lost!

My trips to the post office just won't be the same anymore. You think they'll still show up with pictures of Obama as Hitler? Who would have ever guessed that Obama and the Queen of England were conspiring to reduce the world's population?

22. That is only what the Rothchilds want you to think.
