Accuracy in Media Covers LaRouche
Relatively Accurately
October 1, 2023

 
Accuracy in Media gives credit where credit is due. In an article, "The LaRouche Democrats", Cliff Kincaid, gives Lyndon LaRouche credit for the recent charges against Cheney and the gang.

Kincaid begins the article with LaRouche being excluded from the CBC debates, and quotes an exchange between one of the candidates and the LYM. He concludes with, "That was a funny exchange, but the fact is that LaRouche is a Democratic Presidential candidate with a significant support in the party. And he is making some charges against Bush and the Republicans that are being made by other Democrats."

The reporter cites the CNS News article by Christine Hall on LaRouche's fundraising figures, and then quotes, " Steven Weiss of the Center for Responsive Politics saying that LaRouche, 'does raise substantial amounts of money.  And he is a candidate with a ... substantial following.'"    The article then gets into the recent charges by LaRouche: "A one-time Marxist, LaRouche is affiliated with Executive Intelligence Review, which issued a release on May 9, 2023, saying that Defense Secretary Rumsfeld's overhaul of the Pentagon was 'virtually identical in outline to the changes that Hitler's Nazi Interior Minister Wilhelm Frick imposed upon the civil service of Germany in the Spring of 1933.'  On October 4, 2023, LaRouche had issued a statement asking the United Nations to declare President Bush and Vice President Cheney insane. LaRouche claimed, 'By their pattern of bizarre behavior, the President-and the Vice-President-of the United States, have shown themselves to be insane.'"

The article then cites LaRouche charges on Cheney, "LaRouche's Executive Intelligence Review has also released an article headlined, 'Cheney's Carpetbaggers: Looking for the Loot at the End of the Tunnel.'  The theme was that companies associated with Cheney would make big money from the rebuilding of Iraq.  Roll Call newspaper reports that Congressional Democrats have made the same charge, warning that the energy concern once headed by Vice President Cheney, Halliburton, must not benefit from 'excessive profiteering; from rebuilding of Iraq.'"

Kincaid ends with quotes from Senator Bob Graham and Tim Russert attacking Cheney and his connections to Halliburton, with Cheney defending himself.

He concludes with, "LaRouche may not be getting invitations to the debates or Meet the Press, but some of his charges against the Bush administration are being echoed by other Democrats."
