November 7, 2007 (LPAC)-- New Jersey's Bergen Record rag failed miserably, to defeat a Democratic state legislator who had endorsed the LaRouche legislation to stop foreclosures and supported the LaRouche Political Action Committee in the November 6th New Jersey election.

New Jersey Assemblyman Gordon Johnson (D-District 37), won the same percentage of the general election vote as he had in 2005, easily winning reelection despite the poisonous atmosphere created by the Bergen Record's four consecutive days of recycling worn, Anti-Defamation League slanders of LaRouche in late October.

The slanders activated others in the ADL orbit, including the Mayor of Englewood, Wildes, who called for Johnson's resignation from the Englewood, N.J. City Council, which office Johnson holds in addition to that of state legislator. Bergen County Democratic Committeewoman Nancy Guice, a LaRouche activist, exposed the Wildes/ Bergen Record slanders in a widely distributed "Open Letter to Mayor Wildes." In that letter, Nancy Guice describes an ironic call she received from Mayor Wildes, asking her to help him in a Democratic Party matter. "You know I work with LaRouche?" she asked. "Yes, that's why I’m calling you," Wildes replied. Wildes is associated with the right-wing Committee on the Present Danger, whose leading lights are James Woolsey, and Democratic defector U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT.), both leaders of the Cheney bomb Iran camp. A rabbi also wrote a letter to the editor of the Bergen Record, defending Johnson, and the Executive Intelligence Review put out a fact sheet. Thus, with Johnson's victory, the Cheney Democrats took another big hit.
