I agree with Carrol entirely about sources.
(And Carrol doesn't seem to disagree with the factual points, but
"referencing" it.)
One of the best ways to tarnish a "side" is to have people like Larouche
referenced.
I doubt a LL publication has original documents -- the stuff I've seen,
at least -- so they can usually be found elsewhere.
(That's an old trick used in news media; like the point, but hate the
speaker? Find someone else who will say it.)
I've seen the same sort of thing before, where, for instance, Ernst
Zundel material is quoted by "leftists" about the foundation of Israel.
Even mentioning that shite does more damage than good...
