re: #82 Pianobuff

So people understand, the reason I even make an hay out of this with LaRouche is, while the media vocalizes every R-affiliated wart and blemish, they are often affiliation-tacit when the R label can’t be stuck to this behavior.

By not clarifying, I think a lot of people are left with the impression that the many incidents involving the LaRouchians are naturally perpetrated by Republican loons. I’m not saying that R’s don’t have their issues either.

I think LaRouche is a nutjob, no doubt. I don’t see him being in the mainstream of Democrat though by any means.

The omissions in media reporting are glaring to me, which is why I point this out.

If the entire party you claim to run for disowns you (as the Democrats have LaRouche), it would be tendentious in the extreme for the media to use the label. In fact, it would be the opposite of the kind of “truth telling” you seem to be advocating.

And L. “has run”, not “ran”, as a Dem.
