I remember when he was still Lyn Marcus. Was in another lifetime, one of toil and blood.

98, actually. Wikipedia gives September 8, 1922 as his birth date.

Crazy? Sure. Unusually so in the era of Donald Trump and Roy Moore? Perhaps not so much.

> The LaRouche organization until recently had a similarly antagonistic relationship with Trump, regarding him as a symbol of the corrupt financial establishment and disdaining him for his own close relationship with Cohn. “Don’t be a chump for Trump,” went a piano-backed political ditty released by LaRouche’s organization in February 2016. “He’s a festering pustule on Satan’s rump!”

Many terrible things to remember this man for. This throwback to ten years ago I’ve always found poignant - [LaRouche answers Obama’s challenge](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVs2Cm_Rsds) How much longer will his PAC survive?

Probably not much longer than he does.

That’s his strongest selling point!
ETA: Now he’s dead? Even finer! He can be on the money before he’s even sworn…in…

At some level I’m sorry he’s gone. An honest nutcase seems somewhat refreshing.

Now that LeRouche is dead too, I’m changing my vote to Eugene V. Debs.

I remember when he ran in 1984, and was best known for buying half-hour network spots, where he ran an “infomercial” stating that the Mondale-Ferraro campaign was being financed by the KGB, something that garnered the station a lot of complaints, but certain broadcasting laws required that they run it.
