It is possible that a few crazies can unleash themselves at the convention, especially the John Birchers. But the rules call for escorting them outside and banning their further participation.
It is also possible that Soros can have his agents work an amendment proposal to announcement but it will need 34 states to deem it as an amendment and 38 states to approve/ratify it as part of the Constitution.
The idea that things will become ‘runaway’ is absurd.
The people on these rules committees are not newbies to good order and government processes. Many fine lawyers, professors of law, and historians are involved in this and are not going to waste their time on John Birchers or agents of Soros.

You’re right. That’s a great segment of Levin’s address to ALEC.
It is indeed the duty of our state legislators to relieve their people of a tyrannical national government.
Nonsense, the Convention process is already hijacked by interests that intend to have voting be based on State populations, rather than one vote per state.
This guarantees that the Convention will be runaway, and based entirely founded on populist whim rather than state sovereignty, as was the original intent of any convention among the States.
The claim that worries about a runaway convention are “absurd” is nothing but gross naivete and disregard for actual fact.
And if you’re going to cite Mark Levin as any sort of authority, you should ask yourself why an experienced Washington insider and attorney would write an entire book about amending the Constitution, but nowhere reference the existing Enumerated Powers in those amendments to actually bolster those limitations on government, much less provide any means in those proposed amendments to invalidate the gross overreach of ObamaCare.
The only thing Levin’s amendments do is treat symptoms of the problem, while conspicuously leaving the actual problem itself unchecked, doing nothing to stem the assault by government upon us.
In fact Levin’s amending would serve to implicitly validate the existing federal corruption today as legitimate, by leaving it entirely unscathed by his “Liberty Amendments”.
