LaRouchies turn out en masse to support Chuck Turner
Mike Ball reports on a Chuck Turner rally at the Park Square Radisson today that opened with the dulcet a-capella stylings of the LaRouche Jugend:
... At the Radisson before the meeting, it was clear that this was a mandated event for the LaRouche youth. They knew each other and outnumbered the rest of us considerably. Under 100 attended and the 20-somethings dominated. Each was obviously trained to engage, gathering names and contact info on the way in, offering dozens of tracts as stapled magazines or perfect-bound booklets. ...
Ball provides a summary of Turner's speech, which not only brought up the hypocrisy angle of the case against him (why is the U.S. Attorney attempting to keep Turner from speaking truth to power when the guy himself released evidence before the trial?), but even veered into LaRouchist territory, when Turner ran with some of ol' Lyndon's anti-British rhetoric.

Is Chuck Turner an open source PT Barnum? Larouchies have infested the area around South Station for months now, and reading their literature is like a conspiracy theory buffet.
Add Chuck Turner and stir.
Doesn't mean he's guilty, but at least he's got grand plans to entertain us all in the interim.
He coulda been a contenda
Chuck Turner was always too left for even for Boston's mainstream liberals, but he brought a social justice voice that was needed in this town. In recent years, however, he's morphed into a self-caricature. It's very sad.
Is it Christmas again?
Sounds like cocktail time at a Christmas eve party. A bunch of nuts and a fruitcake to go with your glug.
