Do They Qualify for Cult Status?

Did you know that the Prohibition Party is still out there operating?  That’s out there.  A couple of recent statements, uttered by one of their candidates (there’s a party split) for VP, Leroy Pletten.

“In the Sterling Heights Library conference room, he displayed the Surgeon General’s list of harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke, including hydrogen cyanide—“This is what Hitler used to kill the Jews”—and carbon monoxide—“That’s what Kevorkian would use to kill you.”

“It’s deadly poison,” he said, his voice rising, arms gesturing. “It’s intended to kill. It would be called a weapon of war if Saddam Hussein had stockpiled it to use on our troops.”

While other researchers might disagree with the cause and effect, Pletten claims smoking produces many of society’s problems as an addiction for alcoholics (90 percent), convicted criminals (90 percent), women who suffer miscarriages (80 percent) and divorced people (53 percent).

Gay marriage “is a smoker’s problem, too,” he claimed. By his reasoning, smoking causes what he considers aberrant behavior, including homosexuality. Ban smoking, he said, and there would be no demand for gay marriage.”
