With Al Gore inside, outside the bookstore, Larouchians..(photos)

[The Count]

Al Gore signed copies of his book in Manhattan today. This was going on outside:
LaRouchians confronted by a sane person:

their paraphernalia - that they tried to distribute:

and the normal people


For those of you who don't know, LaRouchians have this vulture-like quality to follow any progressive event. The moment a table. a corner, a door is vacated by us, in they move.
As for Gore's presentation - not so hot.

1. What is their point? What are they protesting?

And why do they look like cheese-eating high school boys?

[The Count]

2. I guess global warming and Al Gore. I found it interesting that they had

tons of glossies - look at the brochures promoting LaRouche - these people do NOt lack money (just sanity)

5. They don't have a point.

LaRouche is kind of like Fred Phelps. He's just a crazy-ass fly in the ointment.

[Richard Steele]

8. No one ever really knows. And they generally protest EVERYTHING.

They're like the Phelps Clan without the bibles.
And not nearly so hate-driven. (But hey, who is?)

Larouch is just a charismatic nutjob, and he's got his own cult.
At the end of the day, the only real "point" of the cult is
sustaining the cult.

They are generally entertaining but, unlike the Phelps',
mostly harmless.

3. Science is so yesterday??

What a dumb fugg.

Run Al Run!!!

[gaspee]

6. I read that sign as

::sarcasm::

[The Count]

16. Me too.

[The Count]

7. Actually, I now wonder if that wasn't a Gore supporter, aswering to the monks

they were actually chanting something - a whole street theater planned. And it was 90 degrees outside!!!

[malaise]

10. Could be

Let's hope.

[Richard Steele]

14. No, I think that's a Larouchy unwittingly demonstrating just how out-of-touch they are.

The sign is sarcastic, yes...but the poor dumb kid
thinks the sarcasm is impugning GORE.

They think that SCIENCE is on their side,
because laRouche said so. And they are too
brainwashed to realize that NO ONE ELSE is
going to recieve the message they think
that sign expresses.

Classic laRouche- wild-eyed nonsense that only
makes sense to other laRouche-bots.

[gaspee]

4. re: picture 1

Was a flood expected in Manhattan today?

[The Count]

9. No, 90 degrees and dry. I think they were impersonating monks

in an homage to the Middle Ages.

[gaspee]

12. I can't figure out why

the guy in the jeans has his cuffs rolled up halfway to his knees.

And it is a scorcher up here in RI today too.

Do you happen to know the woman with the Gore'08 sign? She looks like someone I used to know named Karen.

[The Count]

15. Don't know her. We spoke - she gave me a button and a form letter asking

Gore to run in 2008.
he was ragging on politicians in his presentation - I guess the vote last night didn't make him very happy either. But it also sounded like a resounding "no" on politics to me.

11. They are alll over the place

Noticed this

13. LaRouche nutjobs are sooo creative...
