Loudon County, VA
As they gathered to plan yet another Quixotic presidential
campaign, Lyndon LaRouche and his advisers were befuddled by the reality that
they have been outflanked on the lunatic fringe of national politics. In comparison with plans to arm
schoolteachers, erect a giant border wall, and grant massive tax breaks to the
wealthiest Americans, LaRouche's pet theories on global Judeo-Masonic
conspiracy and connections between the British royal family
and the international drug trade seem quite reasonable. "Oh my God," exclaimed long-time
adviser Fred Schiller, "Lyndon's now the center. There was a time when we could put a guy in the median of a busy intersection with a sign that read 'Global Warming is phonier than Obama's birth certificate' and he would cause traffic jams, but now that this is in the GOP platform, all we get is shrugs."
To adapt to this new reality, the LaRouche organization is reassessing its entire communications strategy. Instead of deploying legions of emaciated youths in threadbare sweaters to hawk LaRouche literature on street corners, the LaRouche team will focus more on developing contacts with traditional party operatives in key primary states. "Traditional, got to get used to that word," commented Schiller. They are also considering a new approach to the media that will involve arranging interviews rather than harassing journalists.
