Mike Lacey, VVM and a host of other alternative papers have been sucked into the Byzantine persecution complex of perennial libertarian presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche. A column blasting a number of alt-weeklies for their anti-Larouchian tendencies appeared last week in something called the Executive Intelligence Report and has been circulating in the blogosphere. Lissa Harris, a blogger for Boston's Weekly Dig, among those papers named, gamely attempts to respond with a straight face.
Peripatetic reporter Lacey Phillabaum blazed a trail through the alternative press even after sending the University of Washington's Institute for Urban Horticulture up in blazes on behalf of the eco-terrorist group Earth Liberation Front in 2001. Besides working as a staffer at The Source Weekly and C-Ville Weekly, Phillabaum contributed freelance pieces to sundry alternative newspapers and AAN. "I knew she was very interested in environmental stories from the clips she had," Washington City Paper Senior Editor Mike Debonis tells Baltimore City Paper, "But I didn't have an inkling that she had any radical tendencies."
