Protester Calls For Impeachment

“Think Like an American.” “He’s Nuts.” “Save NASA, Impeach Obama.” These were just some of the slogans on display outside the Darien Post Office Wednesday afternoon. Some were simply displayed simply in block letters, on brightly colored signs. Others were above pictures featuring President Obama’s face doctored to include an Adolf Hitler-style mustache.

The display was the work of Chris Sare, a Hackensack, N.J. resident who is part of the LaRouche Political Action Committee. Named after activist and perennial third-party presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche, the movement  advocates economic reform and the advancement of science and technology.

 In an article posted to the movement’s website in January, LaRouche’s supporters outlined the reasons he felt the president should be impeached. They said Obama committed “crimes against humanity” with his health care reform bill, and disobeyed the Constitution’s provisions for separation of powers, among other crimes. LaRouche also accused Obama of treason because of his agreements with European leaders, particularly the United Kingdom.

Some passersby chastised Sare for his display, especially his comparisons of the president to Hitler. “The reason for the mustache is that Hitler's rise to total domination and power started with an enforced healthcare system much like Obama just pushed onto America," Sare told reporters. "I am only here to inform."

But not everyone was turned off by Sare’s extreme approach. He said about 35 people had asked to receive more information by the late afternoon, and a fair portion of those offered donations to LPAC.
