My lifelong friend Diane from Connecticut sends along this report via e-mail:
There is some super intense anti-Lieberman campaigning going on here at Central [Connecticut State University], sponsored by LaRouche PAC. I first saw a stack of booklets in the library with the title headline “Youth Vote Decisive in Defeating Joe Lieberman,” which piqued my curiousity. The first article opens with: “When Lynne Cheney and her Dick want a dirty job done in Washington, they have invariably turned to ‘neo-con’ Joe Lieberman.” This 10 page booklet goes on to link Lieberman to various illegal acts and ill intentions. On leaving a class, I walked by a large booth with a half-dozen people handing these out and greeting each passerby with “Did you know we’re sending Lynne Cheney and Joe Lieberman back to hell together?” A guy talked to me for a while about how the two had managed to remove dozens of college professors for speaking out against the war in Iraq. He couldn’t name me any specific names. I was just walking through the dining hall on my way out for the day and this literature is on every table.
I don’t know much about politics, but this seems pretty crazy to me - and convenient that these claims are coming out the day before the election. I get the feeling this is going on at campuses all over the state …. just thought you might be interested to know.
First the LaRouchies crashed the debate, then they heckled Joe at a restaurant, and now this: distributing false, libelous propaganda to college students on Election Eve. These conspiracy clowns are becoming less amusing and more irritating by the minute.

LaRouche just can’t stand the fact that Markos has surplanted him as the left’s resident nutcase, and is trying to steal some of his limelight.

What really sucks about all this is that the Larouche material being handed out is all accurate!

Heh.
In case anybody is wondering, there hasn’t been a LaRouchie lurking in the BrendanLoy.com shadows lo these many years… Jack BN is a UC Irvine student (or teacher? heaven help us if so) who found this site by searching for LaRouche on Google Blog Search. (Thank you, Site Meter.)
“Jack,” since the person Diane encountered was unable to, can you please demonstrate the “accuracy” of LaRouche’s material by providing us with a list of the “dozens” of antiwar professors who have been “removed” thanks to the efforts of Joe Lieberman and Lynne Cheney? Thanks!

Jack sounds no different than Mad Max or Angrier and Angrier…

Brendan,
Just to clarify, Jack said the literature was accurate - this doesn’t necessary apply to the specific comment by the individual organizer, who may have been speaking loosely. I had hoped to take a look at the online copy of “Is Joeseph Goebbels on Your Campus” to see if I could find the reference to Leiberman’s conection to the right-wing anti-liberal campus thought police organizations, but it’s in PDF format and was taking a long time to open.
If you’d like to check it out, there’s a link from the main larouche site which is at

Hope this helps,
