John Birch Society bad...

Ex Klu Klux Klan chapter leader in Congress, good...

Voting against civil rights legislation, good...

Running against a man who did vote for civil rights legislation, trashing him for it and winning, good...

Your home page has some inaccuracies, the United States Army, the United States Navy, the United States Air Force, the United States Postal Service, the United States Defense Department, etc. did not help fund the Ron Paul campaign.

Well that is a pretty cute trick then, because you listed those government agencies and branches of the military as funding the Ron Paul campaign, you need to redo your home page.

I wonder how the Birchers square with the fact that it’s founder Robert Welch was a Unitarian chuch member.
One of the most left wing social activist groups.
Also believes the Bible are just stories, does not believe in the basic Judeao Christian beliefs.

I didn’t make the graphic, I found it on another forum and saw it as pretty informative. Also, it’s my opinion that anyone with a modicum of understanding of campaign finance laws will understand what is implied by “contributor”.

Lets judge Welch by his work.

He led the charge against communism when nobody did.
His followers included Barry Goldwater and many other early conservatives.

God Bless Him - without the Birchers, the commies might have killed 200 million in the last century.

...but it’s perfectly okay for the Democrat National Committee itself to be affiliated with and financially linked to hundreds of Communist Party organizations.

Weak ad hominem is weak.

Besides, not all Birchers are Chalcedonian Christians, or even Christians at all, so I don't see how that would necessarily bother them.

Also, Unitarianism and Unitarian Universalism are horses of a different color.

The JBS used to be an anti-Communist organization but when the USSR bought the farm, they started getting infiltrated by anti-Semites and conspiracy kooks.

the Birchers are also anti war and their third party voting helped give up Democrats in office.

Does anyone watch this idiot other than her ultra left wings buddies. She comes across as a condescending bitch. Which reminds me, I need to reprogram my TV remote control to eliminate the MSNBC channel so that when I click the remote, it just passes over MSNBC.
