As long as I can remember the John Birch Society has been both heralded and vilified.
I always thought they were speaking truth to power....
....but they were demonized, vilified, marginalized constantly

Just wait......we’ll see that happen on FR any moment now

I know they were vilified back in the day but watching videos like this really opens your eyes.

He was right about everything!!

How can anyone argue it?

Parents were JBS members and saw I Robert Welch speak in (maybe) 1970 in Boston.

They were mainly spot-on (hindsight), but like everything else there were some wingnuts aboard. There always are.

WFB made it a point to take them down to enable a "bigger tent" Conservative movement.

Worked for a while, but the WFB crowd had some wingnuts of their own. Just look at NR now. Ahoy maties….
