re: #416 Blueheron

I thought the Birchers were dead and buried. No such chance eh?

Not when they’re cosponsors of CPAC, the largest Republican convention of the year.

And not when people like Ron Paul are promoting them and giving keynote speeches at the JBS annual meeting.

And not when Glenn Beck openly promotes a book by W. Cleon Skousen, one of the original inspirations of the JBS, and when Beck interviews a JBS leader and says, “I have to tell you, when I was growing up, the John Birch Society, I thought they were a bunch of nuts, however, you guys are starting to make more and more sense to me.”

When PJ Media published a lukewarm criticism of the JBS at CPAC (by Ryan Mauro, who is himself a member of an extremist group, the Christian Action Network), there were hundreds of comments supporting and embracing the John Birch Society.

The Birchers are back, big time.
