Talk:U.S. Labor Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] POV

Article does not currently come close to fulfilling NPOV. The information included already is good stuff and should stay, but we need broader coverage. All of the references are from LaRouche critics. The Parsnip! 15:27, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

I checked the ProQuest archive for information about the group, but they only have one significant citation: "CBS SELLS TIME TO FRINGE CANDIDATE FOR TALK" KERR, PETER. [New York Times]]. New York, N.Y.: Jan 22, 1984. pg. A.23
The only thing it says directly about the subject is:
  • Former members of Mr. LaRouche's U.S. Labor Party, now defunct, have said there were party-initiated gang assaults at rivals' meetings and have told of the training of some members in terrorist and guerrilla warfare techniques. Spokesmen for Mr. LaRouche said such training was necessary to protect Mr. LaRouche, who they said was the object of "assassination conspiracies."
Because there are so few mentions of the subject in Internet-available media, I thinkk we should add a mention of this, even though it may be regarded as critical material. If there are more sympathetic accounts then we should definitely include those too. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 09:32, 19 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Candidates

I've compiled two lists of candidates of the USLP, its successor the NDPC, and others who've run as LaRouche Democrats. I've limited it to those who've run repeatedly, have won primaries, or whose candidacies were contested. I've also included those identified as holding positions within the NDPC. There's considerable overlap between the two lists and it may make sense to merge them. It may also make sense to split the NDPC into an article by itself, but I don't think we have enough material on that group at present. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 22:31, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
