Let's hope all the cheers and acclaim he's getting inspire a few other pols to follow his example!

If you pause the video just as the Congressman is saying "defaced" -- at 0:43 -- you'll see a blurry image of the poster in question at the right edge of the screen. You can find the original in convenient PDF form, obviously prepared with downloading and printing by a loyal army of zombielike followers in mind, at http://www.larouchepac.com/files/media/obama.pdf (http://www.larouchepac.com/files/media/obama.pdf). (I would only add that no one with even the roughest grasp of Lyndon LaRouche's views could possibly mistake him for either a Republican or a conservative. Wonder if Minnehaha B might be willing to stop by the Palace, next time he's in London, and have the Queen send me some of that tasty Black Tar I hear she deals...or could Lyndon be bugf*ck wrong about that as well?)

Congressman Frank is correct; this sort of thing is a negative contribution to the dialog. I remember like it was yesterday, how he bravely faced down his detractors in '07 (or was it '06?) and said, "You stand there with a picture of the President defaced to look like Hitler and compare the effort to stamp out murderous terrorist scum to the Nazis. My answer to you is, as I said before, it is a tribute to the First Amendment that this sort of vile, contemptible nonsense is so freely propagated." Ah, the good old days...

What? He never? Oh, Barney, we hardly knew ye! That you, of all people, should have a double standard!
