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.

Doing some googling for "John Birch" racism brings up some items which indicate that Leftists/Communists have tried to paint the JBS as a racist and antisemitic organization. To render an organization "beyond the pale", all that's needed is to make an accusation that they are racists, anti-semites, etc, with no real evidence being required.
