re: #644 Slumbering Behemoth

It was said that its members were directed to run in secret for local offices and to harass school boards and librarians on the matter of the Communist nature of the textbooks and other materials they used.

That’s been standard conservative policy for a long time now. I wonder how many people are advancing the Birch Society’s agenda without even knowing it. Certainly many more since the election. I’d guess there are at least 10 times more dupes than members. Probably much more.
I’d also be willing to bet Glenn Beck has a much more formal relationship with the Birch Society than most people know.
