That is to say that it's not the fact that he labels himself a Democrat that makes him wacky. He's simply wacky and claiming to be a Democrat to add to the shock value of his crazy proclamations. Also it provides cover for the crazy proclamations that are routine from the right fringe.
LeRouche has been a known quantity in these parts for decades as he lives in Leesburg, VA. He's a whackjob of epic proportions.

I am not at all certain that Hitler is the "most evil dictator the World has ever known," although he is most certainly a contender. Stalin, and especially Mao, in many ways, were even worse... Engineered famines, tens of millions of deaths of their own countrymen... Colonel Kaddaffi (or however the current spelling is), is often portrayed in the same mold as Saddam Hussein. The simple truth is that he was a coco-puff in comparison to the Iraqi, as Hussein was a cupcake in comparison to the three men listed above.
Yet this demented man, who claims to be a Democrat, is delusional in many ways. If he compares Obama to Hitler, he is insulting the naturalized German as there is no comparison. Obama is not a dictator, although at times I do believe he dreams of being one. Obama, although there is much misery in America right now and he is the long-time sitting President, he is not killing his own countrymen, nor has he launched a global war. If his comparison was to equate Obama to one of the three most brutal and ruthless dictators, he has failed. All three of these men are well out of Obama's league even if he were a dictator.:)
