I’m always seeing ‘the Birchers’ catching flak, why? What is it with the Birch Society that has everyone up in arms? I’ve seen this so many times but never asked.

There are founding members of the Republican Liberty Caucus who are Holocaust survivors or children of Holocaust survivors, who know Paul personally, and none of them have ever spoken against Paul on matters relating to Israel and Jewish American issues as far as I know.

The John Birch Society

by Michael Brown

Oh, we’re meetin’ at the courthouse at eight o’clock tonight
You just walk in the door and take the first turn to the right
Be careful when you get there, we hate to be bereft
But we’re taking down the names of everybody turning left

Oh, we’re the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Here to save our country from a communistic plot
Join the John Birch Society, help us fill the ranks
To get this movement started we need lots of tools and cranks

Now there’s no one that we’re certain the Kremlin doesn’t touch
We think that Westbrook Pegler doth protest a bit too much
We only hail the hero from whom we got our name
We’re not sure what he did but he’s our hero just the same

Oh, we’re the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Socialism is the ism dismalest of all
Join the John Birch Society, there’s so much to do
Have you heard they’re serving vodka at the WCTU?

Well you’ve heard about the agents that we’ve already named
Well MPA has agents that are flauntedly unashamed
We’re after Rosie Clooney, we’ve gotten Pinkie Lee
And the day we get Red Skelton won’t that be a victory

Oh we’re the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Norman Vincent Peale may think he’s kidding us along
But the John Birch Society knows he spilled the beans
He keeps on preaching brotherhood, but we know what he means

We’ll teach you how to spot ‘em in the cities or the sticks
For even Jasper Junction is just full of Bolsheviks
The CIA’s subversive and so’s the FCC
There’s no one left but thee and we, and we’re not sure of thee

Oh, we’re the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Here to save our country from a communistic plot
Join the John Birch Society holding off the Reds
We’ll use our hand and hearts and if we must we’ll use our heads

Do you want Justice Warren for your Commissar?
Do you want Mrs. Krushchev in there with the DAR?
You cannot trust your neighbor or even next of kin
If mommie is a commie then you gotta turn her in

Oh, we’re the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Fighting for the right to fight the right fight for the Right
Join the John Birch Society as we’re marching on
And we’ll all be glad to see you when we’re meeting in the John
The John, the John Birch So- ci- i- teee

FReepers siding with The New York Times against a constitutionalist Republican. This should be good.

Just about “paranoid fantasy” of the Birchers has come to pass in modern America.

This whole thing stems from Rep. Paul voting against aid to Israel, something he routinely does with all foreign aid, on Constitutional principle. He is no antisemite, and I challenge anyone making that claim to back it up with something other than innuendo. Innuendo and slander is all there is, to this sort of thing. Ron Paul is the sole member of either House of Congress, who has consistently voted in a manner that is always Constitutional, over a period of decades. He may or may not be your ideal presidential candidate, and I sincerely doubt he has any chance at all, but please remember this, before you go and attack the man.

Fun stuff. Fun stuff indeed. The E&P is being taken seriously. Course it has to be. Anything to discredit the one candidate who isn't for continuing the same ol', same ol' in DC. Give a good stump speech yes but when you get to Washington you better be prepared to grow government, waste money, and get involved needlessly abroad. Why it's the 'conservative' way....

Although you know I didn't see anything about 'Israel haters' in the original title. Never mind, we can let that go eh? Always good to continue a slur that has no basis in reality.

Now tell me as a good 'conservative' which Republican should I really vote for that's going to waste my tax dollars here and abroad?

This stems from Paul voting against supporting Israel and condemning Hezbollah last year and actually equivocating the two.

It stems from Paul voting against condemning Iran’s president for denying the Holocaust because he thought it was “neocon” propaganda.

I don’t think he is an anti-Semite but he isn’t pro-Israel or a friend to the Jewish community in the least.

Please tell me you're not so toweringly, achingly stupid as to be unaware of what"[ ]" are, and what they're commonly used for; and that you're just play pretending.
