   `Spotlight' recommends
   LaRouche `protest vote'
   
The Sept. 14 issue of the populist
weekly newspaper {Spotlight} included a
spread on the presidential elections,
which recommended Lyndon LaRouche among
what it called ``protest candidates.''
After reviewing each candidate,
{Spotlight} wrote about independent
presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche:
``Then there is Lyndon LaRouche whose
beliefs are a mixture of nonsense and
good sense and whose followers have
managed to place him on 10 state ballots.
Campaigning from jail, where he sojourns
as a claimed political prisoner,
LaRouche's crimes, if any, are almost
infinitely fewer and of less magnitude
than those of the Republican candidate
and may thus be overlooked. Although his
economic `solutions' are far-fetched to
say the least, he and his organization
are strongly anti-drug and anti-crime; in
fact, they do not hesitate to brand the
Anti-Defamation League as a criminal
organization tied to the drug racket.
Thus, LaRouche has the same enemies as
this newspaper and its publisher. A
protest vote for him would send a healthy
signal to the Establishment of
non-confidence.'' 
   The {Spotlight} feature also
recommended, of the three ``major
candidates,'' i.e., those on the ballot
in most states, they would favor H. Ross
Perot because ``Perot's election would
completely upset the {status quo.} It
would be a mortal blow against the
present system,'' despite the fact that
the article strongly criticized Perot's
``reputed endorsement of the
parliamentary system.''

Well, if anybody out there believes in guilt by association, here's
more evidence against the "anti-semitic populist" LaRouche.

I wonder if there is a direct correlation between anti-Semites and liars?
The Spotlight newspaper ran an article discussing third-party candidates,
but it did NOT endorse any. When it endorses candidates, it does so in
an editorial or boxed announcement. Sloppy...
