The Birchers that used to hang out here always had an underlying paranoia about the Jews. They just hid it a little better.

I remember seeing "US out of the UN, UN out of the US" signs in random country cornfields as a kid in the 50's.

Those signs make more sense to me now.

Here is what the JBSers believe. Take some time and see if any of you agree or disagree with it. There are 4 parts and it brings a tear to my eye..watching all that men and women have fought and died for go down the tubes.

Is, by chance, the author actually projecting his frustration with his heartfelt need to moderate his opinion, while constantly being called out and scooped?

[PapaBear3625]

Unless the Republican Party’s leaders -- and its grass roots, too -- get a grip on this slithering danger and proceed to rise up and root it out, someday Americans may wonder what ever happened to the party of Lincoln, who spoke of charity for all and malice toward none. That forgotten party will have gone like the Whigs, torn apart.

The reason we are in the mess we are in, is because politicians are engaged in too damn much "charity towards all"!

[muawiyah]

Considering the way he handled the topic I'd suggest Paul Greenberg is a Nazi sympathizer.

There's always somebody around who wants to make the SS and SA look better by comparing them favorably to Republicans.

[Luke21]

Wow. Old Paul really put on his hate hat today, shaking the bushes for every type of dangerous right wing ghoul. This crappy thing even loaded up “Nazi” “dark shop,” “fanatics,” “zealotry,” “infidels,” “malignant cancers,” “zealotry,” “old men” and even “Germany in the 1930’s.” There’s even more wordsmithing wizardry here, but you get the point.

The Asspress itself should issue a commendation to Paul. He is top of the line at packing weasel words into a piece of left wing drivel. But he better watch using “infidels” because the Asspress and the Wapo may have eliminated it from their style books for use in propaganda.

Take some aspirin, Paul. You and your side have complete power. Enjoy your tyranny.

You wrote: “I think I like the Birchers and “neo-Birchers” more than the GOPe and Paul Greenberg. And least they stand for something.”

They “stand for something”, alright:

Branding your opponents as “Birchers” is an old and honorable tactic of statists. What the Birchers are, were, or become is completely irrelevant. It is a form of duck speak.

QUACK QUACK BIRCHERS QUACK QUACK RACISTS QUACK QUACK.......

"I'd suggest Paul Greenberg is a Nazi sympathizer."

Apparently Nazi's and muzzies were natural allies in the 30's and 40's.

[Kaslin]

Naw, Paul Greenberg is okay. He’s just wrong in this case

The “REAL” PRAVDA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda

On August 22, 1991, a decree by Russian President Boris Yeltsin shut down the Communist Party and seized all of its property, including Pravda. Its team of journalists fought for their newspaper and freedom of speech. They registered a new paper with the same title just weeks after.

A few months later, then-editor Gennady Seleznyov (now a member of the Duma) sold Pravda to a family of Greek entrepreneurs, the Yannikoses. The next editor-in-chief, Aleksandr Ilyin, handed Pravda’s trademark ­ the Order of Lenin medals ­ and the new registration certificate over to the new owners.

By that time, a serious split occurred in the editorial office. Over 90% of the journalists who had been working for Pravda until 1991 quit their jobs. They established their own version of the newspaper, which was later shut down under government pressure. These same journalists, led by former Pravda editors Vadim Gorshenin and Viktor Linnik in January 1999, launched Pravda Online, the first web-based newspaper in the Russian language; English, Italian and Portuguese versions are also available.

In 1996, two Greek investors launched Pravda Pyat, a weekly tabloid aimed at younger readers.[16] The new Pravda newspaper and Pravda Online are not related in any way. The paper Pravda tends to analyze events from a leftist point of view, while the web-based tabloid-style newspaper often takes a nationalist and sensationalist approach.

In 1997, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_the_Russian_Federation recovered the newspaper, and it became an organ of the CPRF. This was verified by the special resolution of the 4th Congress of the CPRF.

He should be researching what is happening to the political parties in the Netherlands. It may enlighten him to see how citizens respond to domestic evil when pushed far enough.

In less than 100 words what is happening?

[Pan_Yan]

It has been fascinating over the last dozen years to watch the ebb and flow of support, tolerance or hatred of certain groups, candidates and ideas here on FreeRepublic.

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

OBTW _ the people in Boston did cower in their homes, most unarmed and wishing otherwise.

Really? I went out and walked the dogs three times. Saw some neighbors go out and do errands. Didn't see any cops. They were all too busy sifting through Watertown to bother with the surrounding communities.

[Pan_Yan]

The problem with the Republican Party is not the kooks who believe crazy things, it’s the self promoters who believe in nothing.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

This Report explains why senior FBI officials (including FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover) came to the conclusion in FBI memos that the Birch Society was “extremist”, “irrational”, “irresponsible”, “fanatics”, and “lunatic fringe.”

Was this the same J. Edgar Hoover that denied the existence of the Mafia for decades and called those who warned about organized crime, including his own agents, "conspiracy theorists".

"I have in mind that I was originally advised by Rosen that the Mafia or anything like it in character never existed in this country. I have been plagued ever since for having denied its existence." J. Edgar Hoover, Dec. 30, 1970.

Are you Greenberg? The NeoCons have all but destroyed the opposition to the Left and the country yet you and Greenberg still have that old Trotsky hard on going, Viva da Internationale! Good luck with the McCain/graham Party.
