Generation that Fought the Nazis: LaRouche Is Right on Obama!

July 1, 2009 (LPAC)—Lyndon LaRouche's webcast call to arms on fighting Barack Obama's Nazi policy on medical treatment, profoundly touched the souls of his generation—those who fought in World War II, or lived through it. But many boomers and younger people were protective of Obamamania, and fearful of what their "friends" and peers will think about calling Obama's plan "Nazi."

Among the older people, whether it was those who attended the Washington-area meeting where LaRouche spoke, the regional meetings, or watched it on the web, or learned about it in the field, there was a powerful response. At a literature table in the New Jersey region, an older woman was at our literature table, getting briefed on the LPAC fight, and looking at our signs on Obama and Hitler. She looked over the LPAC literature, and exclaimed, "You're right, his policy is Nazi." Then she pulled up her shirtsleeve to reveal the numbers tattooed on her arm, put there when she was a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp in Poland at the age of 9.

At the Washington, DC-area event, an Italian-American man from Philadelphia, said, "Lyn has to win. I know, I lived under Mussolini. Lyn is right." Two men in their 80s had the same response. One, at a field site in Los Angeles said, referring to Obama and the Administration, "I'm 80 years old. They're out to kill me!" Another World War II veteran, attending the New Jersey office showing of the webcast, said, "I'm in trouble ... I'm over 80 ... they want to be rid of people like me." In Chicago, a 79-year-old man, who had retreated into religion from politics, listened by phone to Lyn's webcast, and later said, "That speech should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country! What he said about the British is absolutely true! In fact, everything he said is true! He's the smartest man in the world!!"
