LaRouchite Weirdos Protesting Queen Elizabeth Again, In DC

Jun 22 11:15 am 2010

This picture was taken by satellite.
Wonkette operative Dan T. was just walking to work at the Capitol (where he is the Queen’s Witchfinder General) when, from a very great and apparently safe distance, he took this picture with his “smart phone.” It shows some LaRouchites protesting Hitler (Queen Elizabeth, third from left, wearing rabbit ears) and promoting a Webisode and BP apparel. Never forget!

    With all the crazy out there lately, the LaRouchies must feel this is a prime opportunity to rise above being a perennial bad joke. But no, they’ll always be down at the end of the pack with the Westboro Baptist Church and the John Birch Society at best. But they’re still ahead of those folks who believe there’s a UFO base under the Arctic Ocean and that the government (all of them!) is/are hiding satellite pics of the big entryway they use to come and go. And the flat earthers. And Bible Coders.

    Jesus, that’s sad. WAGGAMAN! Go help those poor fuckers out. Take a camcorder.

    Lyndon LaRouche is only interested in protecting Americans and their wildlife from skin cancer by making sure they are coated in thick SPF Eleventymillion crude oil!

    STOP HARASSING LYNDON LAROUCHE!

    [re=603856]comicbookguy[/re]: Roman Polanski needed them for his version of Tess of the D’Urbervilles.

    What’s with the BP t-shirt, is it in case the Queen gets nippy?

    Why is HRH’s corgie taller than her and standing on its hind legs?

  • PsycGirl

    Are they begging for spare change using a statement rather than a question? That’s innovative. I guess you gotta pay the posterboard fees somehow.

  • Prommie

    Oh, Layne, you are so 21st Century, didn’t you get the memo? Batshit fucktarded racist insanity is the new normal. What with the public legitimization of tea-tards, randtards, Paultards, Alabamans, and individuals such as the Wassilla Grifter, and this fucktard Nevada Senate Candidate, hell, LaRouchians aren’t crazy anymore, they are right in the middle of the new mainstream. Our next President could well be the Posse Comitatus candidate, Or the Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan, God knows what will be considered mainstream by then.

    Illegal use of punctuation! Personal Foul! Half the distance to the goal line! FIRST DOWN!

    It’s amazing where the LaRouchies show up. They were here in Buenos Aires, Argentina during the Bicentennial in May handing out Jebus knows what. Alas, I did not manage to keep the flyer they gave me because I threw it away immediately, plus it was written in what appeared to be Messican, another affront to my White Christian sensibilities. Is nowhere safe?

  • PsycGirl

    [re=603867]Prommie[/re]: “Barry=President” sure did bring the crazies out of the woodwork. Which makes me wonder if there are any in said woodwork still and how terrifying/entertaining they might be.

  • edgydrifter

    Nothing screams “credibility!” like a ball cap + blazer combo.

  • McDuff

    You truely haven’t seen crazy until you’ve looked into the eyes of a LaRouchey.

  • weejee

    Looks like the Queen has the guy on the left on a leash. Is that twosome gonna do it doggy style while the guy in the wife beater cheers them on?

  • Geogre

    What, really, is the difference between them and the Moonies?

    They both put out attractive people at the booth, spout a slogan du jour, and then do the whole “sensory deprivation, protein deprivation, constant lessons” thing while taking the person’s assets. I remember back when they showed up saying, “Save the Whales! Nuke Jane Fonda!” That was 1980.

  • Manos: Hands of Fate

    Too much nuttiness in this country. Please all protestors just go home and a read wide array of history, economic and policy texts from a variety of perspectives before picking a sign, ok?

  • Dashboard_Buddha

    How long before one of these nutcases start flaming here?

  • chaste everywhere

    [re=603843]MarieDeGournay[/re]: You rule.

  • PsycGirl

    [re=603880]Manos: Hands of Fate[/re]: a basic grammar and punctuation text wouldn’t hurt either

  • Dashboard_Buddha

    So wait…that sort of pretty young lady who had a new asshole torn by Barney Frank (no irony here)…was she a Larouchite?

  • WhatTheHeck

    These people are morans. There’s not one hand-written sign.
    FoxNoos won’t give you the time of day without a hand-written sign.

  • tribbzthesquidz

    They look like an incomprehensible political cartoon.
    Hold on baby, I’m ‘a’ comin’. Chanjacombing. ”””’

  • x111e7thst

    [re=603874]edgydrifter[/re]: Rudi G popularized that look. If it’s good enough for ferret hating fascists it’s good enough for me.

  • Canuckledragger

    The BP spill is just the Queen of England finding new ways to import hash oil into the US without being noticed. Same thing happened when they put Boxers into boxers, starting the well known rebellion among those opiate-eaters whose briefs left too much to the imagination. And THAT only took 55 days…..

  • Carson

    [re=603890]WhatTheHeck[/re]: Sure they will. Hannity puts that crowd at just over 10,000.

  • Hooray For Anything

    In terms of loonies who stand on street corners handing out pamphlets, I have more respect for Scientologists than I do LaRouchies. At least they can say Beck is one of them.

  • Prommie

    You know, LaRouche really is spot on when it comes to his position on “Verdi tuning,” the western world started to go wrong when we switched from the A-tone at 432 Hz to the A-tone at 440 Hz. Of course, returning to the 432 Hz A-tone would play hell with Louis Farrakhan’s numerology which connected the Egyptian Pharaoh Aton with Columbus discovering America exactly 440 years prior to the Million Man March, and since the A-tone is 440 Hz, Farrakhan is a Pharaoh, or something like that, but we are just going to have to accept that maybe Farrakhan is not the Pharaoh Aton.

  • Scaggsville guy

    Is that a dude with a fat ass in a girl’s version of a wife-beater, or a girl with big shoulders and a goatee? I can’t decide which is worse.

  • SayItWithWookies

    [re=603928]Scaggsville guy[/re]: I’m still distracted by the lady on the left with the blurred-out face and the bunny ears. In the LaRouchie world, everything is slightly weirder than you’d expect.

  • Dashboard_Buddha

    [re=603967]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Also…is Bunny Ears holding a leash on the black guy?

  • chascates

    The LaRouchie site has this gem:

    Gauss and the Physical Tensor
    This feature video presents Lyndon LaRouche’s concept of the physical tensor, an essential aspect of what he has established as a science of physical economy. This concept challenges the underlying problems of belief in sense perception as reality that pervades modern society, by posing the idea of the physical tensor as a transformation which occurs between mental images.

    With a 27-minute video attempting to explaining this breakthrough. Which I couldn’t bother to watch.

  • GOPCrusher

    Lyndon LaRouche=The Babe Ruth of the batshyt crazies!

    We need to get the kids their summer jobs back.

  • Darkness

    Is it just me or does Queen Elizabeth look like one of those architectural rendering citizens come to life?
