First of all, I was a member of the Birch Society from 1977 to 1981.
Second of all, you completely missed my point. The Birch Society and the section of the Right it represents is a descendant not of traditional American conservatism (Hamiltonianism) but of the Populist and Progressive movments of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It's villains are the same as those of the socialist Populists/Progressives: the Rockefellers, the Carnegies, the Morgans, the "international bankers," etc. The only difference is that in the Populist/Progressive days the Eastern Establishment was conservative and the heartland was socialist (William Jennings Bryan, anyone?) while today the opposite is true.
My remark about Cronkite was that he is one of the number one exhibits in the JBS claim that the Left is secretly run by the Old American Establishment--therefore they owe him a great deal.
Also you give the Birch Society too much credit. They are the number one peddlers of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories (with the word "Jew" removed) and most of the out-and-out anti-Semites started out in the Birch Society. They also numbered the notorious Revilo P. Oliver (mach shemo!) among their founders--a man whose blasphemous atheist ideology was remarkably similar to the Holocaust Museum shooter.
Finally, the Birch Society is opposed to the war in Iraq or any action against Iran because Israel might conceivably benefit. They are vehemently anti-Israel and you will be hard pressed to find one of their spokesmen who isn't hostile to Israel. In fact, some time back I visited G. Edward Griffin's web site. He rebuked an anti-Semite not for being anti-Semitic, but for making it very difficult to oppose Israel respectably.
The Birch Society is garbage. They think we fought on the wrong side in WWII.
I didn't know they were fans of Hitler. Do you have any linked evidence to support this?
the Birch Society is opposed to the war in Iraq or any action against Iran because Israel might conceivably benefit.
Again, any credible evidence that they are "opposed to any action against Iran because Israel might conceivably benefit"?
