Perhaps someone with a little more knowledge on the subject than I have can set me straight on the John Birch Society. It isn't a racist organization is it?

I've been familiar with them for many years, and never found any racism in their official stance. This does not mean that there aren't members of the organization who the NAACP would not approve of, but then again the same could be said about FR. (I doubt Charles Johnson approves of FR, although I've never seen him mention FR)

That’s pretty much my take on it too. I have never attended any meetings though, so it wasn’t something I could say for sure. I’ve never seen an example of their literature that backed the charge that the org was racist, so I’ve never considered them to be.

I appreciate your comments.
