in front of the Chinese embassy in Los Angeles. While we were marching up the street towards the embassy, a car emblazoned with Lyndon LaRouche stickers and placards kept driving up and down the street to taunt us. The driver had a bullhorn, and he was shouting inanities like the Dalai Lama was a puppet for the Clinton administration and was involved in sex trafficking.

Basically, Lyndon LaRouche was the Alex Jones for the pre-internet generation (this was in the 90's). They are some crazy mo fo's.
