Sadly, this was aided by W.F. Buckley, who hated the JBS.
Sure, there were some kooks in it, as there are in anything (one need look no further that NR itself - Buckley's idiot son, and David Frum, to name a few).
“The MSM declared war on the JBS and it continues today.”

The Birchers have lost the war.
I belong to a computer users group that has been meeting since the mid 70’s. We meet once a month and I almost never miss. At Saturdays meeting I was speaking to a couple of guys who had told me they were going to vote for Obama. They did do that and I have asked several times since if they were going to vote for him again or if they had voters remorse. They are going to vote for him again.
When I explain that the president is Marxist and ask is that what they want, they laugh at me and tell me I’m crazy and then say, “yeah he’s a Moslem too, Ha, Ha, and he isn’t a citizen either, Ha, Ha.”
The Democrat party has been overrun by the Marxists. The news media has been overrun by the Marxists.
Marxism is unsustainable. Although I say that there is a Marxist state of China, Cuba and North Korea that keeps going and going and going. Marxist states keep going by forcing everyone to be poor. Marxism or Socialism will always fail, it is just a matter of time before it falls under it’s own weight. The problem is that that can take a lot of time. I do believe that the true Marxist in this country are in the very small minority and that the rest of those that vote Democrat are just stupid dupes that are mislead by the MSM.
I don’t know what to do inform people of the truth, when I try I am often ridiculed.
I have decided to prepare for the worst as best I can and prepare to have my own little island of security until the government comes and takes everything I have and shares it with those that don’t. I suspect they will have to do that over my dead body but I’m not sure I will be able to hold them off very long. Death is probably better than letting them win with me under their subjection.
These are not the best of times.
It’s ironic, the John Birch Society, and people like Pat Buchanan were absolutely correct, and those telling everyone they are “kooks”, turn out the be the real frauds and liars.
