LaRouche PAC Members Bring Obama-Hilter Image to Milton

Representatives of the LaRouche Political Action Committee were campaigning in Milton on Friday with an image of President Barack Obama with a Adolph Hitler-like mustache.

Anyone driving through East Milton Square on Friday, February 24, may have spotted an unusual sight: two men in front of the Milton Post Office with a poster of President Barack Obama with drawn-on mustache similar to the facial hair worn by Adolph Hitler.

The two men, who requested not to be identified, were on the street corner representing Lyndon Larouche's Political Action Committee (LaRouche PAC). They offered reading material to Post Office customers about the LaRouche PAC’s federal slate of candidates for the upcoming election.

While none of the LaRouche candidates are running for a Milton office, the men in Milton referred all questions to Rachel Brown’s campaign.

Brown is a Quincy Democrat running for the Fourth Congressional District, the seat formerly held by Barney Frank. She is part of six candidates from across the country endorsed by the LaRouche PAC.

According to Rachel Brown’s candidate statement, “Right now our nation is in a deep crisis with abominable unemployment, dire budget problems, an imminent threat of war, and a clinically insane president.”

The LaRouche PAC, which among other causes, is calling for the impeachment of President Obama, commonly uses the image of the president with a Hilter mustache, according to Brown’s Campaign Manager Jennifer Kreingold.

“We’ve been campaigning with the mustache on Obama’s face since 2009,” said Kreingold.

When asked why LaRouche PAC volunteers were in Milton on Friday, Kreingold said the political action committee is a national entity so their members can be found campaigning all over the country.
