*To begin I would like to state that I do not agree with La Rouche’s campaigns or perspectives. Also, I am by no means an expert and do not know this organization particularly well.
La Rouche is an extreme rightest organization whose main campaign of the moment is fighting Obama’s healthcare plan. They use strong images to depict their dissatisfaction with President Obama and compare him to Hitler, who unified Germany during the 20th century only to use the Jews as the scapegoat for their financial despair. They go on to state that universal healthcare will victimize the elderly. The image below depicts La Rouche’s socalled “creative” techniques.
Although La Rouche’s images grasp the attention of those who pass by their booths and website, they evoke negative feelings about our nation and could be considered as anti-patriotic. If one looks at the website, he or she will notice that the primary font used on the homepage is red, which portrays their conservative beliefs. Although they list their “democrats for congress” on the homepage, the organization is known be conservative, extreme, and irrational. Most organizations have an About section on their website, a feature that www.LaRouchePAC.com lacks.
From my personal experience as a canvasser, I have encountered La Rouche on numerous occasions. Their drastic measures for conveying their message and fundraising (such as calling individuals who disagree with their campaigns Nazis) have made life significantly more difficult for other organizations. Once again, I do not know everything about this organization, but I encourage the reader to conduct their own research.
