re: #364 Killgore Trout

That’s not so. JBS considered the civil rights movement to be the work of communist agitators.
Here’s the president of JBS yesterday at CPAC talking about how god is going to kill the homosexuals (at about 4:30)

That may be a result of today’s JBS moving further to the social right then. Back in the 50’s/60’s, they were no friends of the Klan/CoCC, or of fundamentalist Christians.

from the wiki:

Antisemitic, racist, anti-Mormon, anti-Masonic, and religious groups criticized the group’s acceptance of Jews, non-whites, Masons, and Mormons. These opponents accused Welch of harboring feminist, ecumenical, and evolutionary ideas.[33][34][35]

Keep in mind, Birchers from the 50s/60s thought that EVERYONE who was part of their group was part of the International Communist Conspiracy.
