Davis confirmed that, as the magazine claimed, he signed an appeal by the commission for a meeting with President Reagan to stop “all unconstitutional activities” by federal officials in the LaRouche case.
But he said he has not attended any commission meetings, given money to any LaRouche-affiliated group, or had more than a few telephone discussions about “human rights” issues with LaRouche supporters.
“I’m not a joiner,” said Davis, who has been active in such mainstream groups as the American Legion, the National Association of Black Veterans and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
“I associate with issues, not groups,” he said. “If the KKK came up with an issue I can agree on, I’d support them.
Asked why he was listed as a commission member, Davis said his expressions of support may have been misunderstood. “I think they stretched something,” he said.
Political platforms of LaRouche and his followers have called for a return to traditional moral values, an end to “the drug lobby” and imposition of the death penalty for drug dealers. In addition, they have urged a program of mandatory testing and quarantining of victims of acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
Davis said he agrees with many of the social and moral positions LaRouche has advocated over the years, especially those against illicit drug use and the spread of AIDS.
