APPLETON, WIS.December 15, 2009The John Birch Society announces it is cosponsoring the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) 2010, to be held in Washington DC, Feb. 18-20.
JBS will have a double booth with half dedicated to offering educational and promotional materials and the other half housing a TV studio that will stream live video from the booth and broadcast onto JBS LibertyNewsNetwork.tv, a website that will feature archived JBS video and live video streams.
Last year, more than 8,000 attendees were drawn to CPAC. Posted on CPAC's website, The Washington Post called it,
the preeminent yearly gathering of conservative activists.

they are racists and anti semitism

Mr. Buckley was there. I wasn't. It's the only footnoted novel I've ever read.

Oh boy. Watch the double standard swing into play.
As others have pointed out, The John Birch Society is a damaged brand and by the time the news media maligns it, CPAC might find a dwindled speakers’ list for next year.
Of course, the media might lie in wait and pounce at the most opportune time.
JBS’s participation doesn’t sound like a winner to me.
Please let this be satire.
Jewish conservative republicans?
What all 18 of them! WOW.
Over 85% of the Jewish vote went to Obama.
We should always remember that the repugnant main
stream media always wants to act as a filter to get
us to see things the way they want us to, not as
they really are.
Yes yes, but the middle road groupies and the liberal wing of the Republican party thinks they're too insensitive...ka-ka-po-po
“They have the same talking points as the Marxist anti war Code Pinkos.”
It would be helpful to me to have the correlations more clearly articulated.
I’m anti-UNO war myself. I’m also anti-ground war where we could have used superior intelligence, air power, and special forces units to wipe out the greater part of our 9/11 enemies (that is, providing that we didn’t give our objectives and plans to the news media beforehand).
Bullcrap.
So, we are supposed to stay out of organizations that the left-wing media maligns? Wouldn’t this make all non-left wing groups off limits?
I seriously doubt this is accurate. If they did at all, more likely they secured it under another name.
If it is true, well, CPAC deserves what it gets.
We're free to join and associate with any group we choose.
Association with the John Birch Society won't help conservative candidates because of its reputation for some its extreme positions.
I have serious misgivings about its participation at CPAC and think that several candidates and office holders will shy away from speaking at CPAC. Nobody will want to be tagged "a Bircher."
No more extreme...We must be sensitive!!!...Be like Houston Texas, and get yerself a gay mayor...Get er done!
If by "crap" you mean dismissive and condemning posts that fail to state a rational argument then I'm wondering the same thing.
78% actually.
And given that most self-identified Jew live in and around New York City or in some other big city, probably about the same as other urbanites of like education.
Their FREEDOM INDEX is awesome, & I learned a lot about US history, the goodness of Founding Fathers, & Original Intent due to reading it. IMO, anyone who would call themselves a patriot should pay attention to it.
Your ignorance is stinking up this thread. Please get your head out....or better yet, get rid of the smell by putting it back in!
Ok. Point taken. We can agree to disagree?
I obviously do not have anything good to say about the JBS so I could have kept my mouth shut and ignored it- I do that pretty often anyway...
But- by “crap” I didn’t mean dismissive or condemning posts- I meant what I said. That’s my opinion of the JBS. I dismiss them- but don’t necessarily condemn them.
Ah well...I knew I was making a mistake when I hit post the first time ;)
At any rate- I just finished work- starving (maybe why I’m grumpy) - and am going to eat!
Amen. That's why the JBS is poked fun of by people who call themselves "conservative", & are despised by the Left -- they are willing to call a spade a spade, & the NeoCons running the GOP don't like it.
