The problem is that much of the book by the LaRouchites about the Bush family is a fetid stew of fascist conspiracism, and no serious progressive or socialist or communist media outlet should ever promote information from this or other similar right-wing pieces of junk journalism without at the very least identitfying it as such.
This is an example of why it is important to draw a distinction between rapacious capitalist imperialism and fascistic pseudo-radical populist anti-elitism.
Otherwise we build the fascist right and lead people into thinking right-wing populists are a strategic ally against corporate globalism and American empire.
Bad historic track record.
