I was not familiar with Lyndon LaRouche before looking into some postings 
about "Classical Humanism" (including the recent one on this forum linking 
anti-abortion sentiments with preserving cryonic suspendees). I have now 
searched on the web and seen a lot of pro-LaRouche material, plus anti-LR 
material filtered through pro-LR sources such as *Executive Intelligence 
Review*. Looking further, I did find one lengthy anti-LR piece, at 
http://www.anti-fascism.org/cult7a-2.html. Overall, I gather that LR is 
(now) anti-Semitic and homophobic, and leans to the "far right." He has 
been convicted in court of mismanaging funds in his political organization, 
which has a following in the thousands, with some "defectors" who offer an 
alternative viewpoint of his operations. There seems to be a strong element 
of opportunism in his stances on things, which have shifted around over the 
years and seem "adaptive." In all, he strikes me as someone to take 
seriously, that is, not as just a harmless crank--and to be wary of.
