I don’t particularly hold Birchers in high regard either. they tend to take too many flights of fancy for my palette. But compared to marxists, they are gold.

My problem with the Birchers--and please remember that I used to be one--is that (and I sincerely believe this, however wrong I may be) they act as the "blue lodge" of the anti-Semitic movement in this country. People who join are not showered with anti-Semitic propaganda, but there are subtle doses given here and there that push members in that direction. Then when the victim "bites" at the bait they make a big deal of throwing them out when the fact is they wouldn't have become anti-Semites without the subtle messages of the JBS to begin with.

The JBS is basically "chr*stian reconstructionist," anti-Fundamentalist, anti-Israel, and a continuation of the people who thought we fought on the wrong side in WWII. They are opposed to the "war on terror" and to American "interference" in the Middle East (because they think it benefits Jews) but they had no problem with the military draft in the Sixties or "American interference" in Central America in the Eighties. It's only bad for America when "democracy" gets exported to the Middle East. And no, I am not a Wilsonian, but I do detest this hypocrisy.

The birchers I’ve known have not been anti-jew. But have been solidly anti-jihadist.

Cautious reply.... I understand your issue but I disagree with the Blue Lodge analogy. The more one studies communism in the United States, the more one becomes aware of the astounding number of American and European Jewish people involved in that movement. It is a stunning percentage and that fact alone has created an environment where antisemitic attitudes have developed. I can't explain it and I certainly don't paint all Jewish people to be communists (I know, in fact, not all are) but if one is serious about fighting the Left, one needs to look in the usual places for evidence. As for me, I'll stand side by side with you in fighting the Left.

Phew! That's the biggest load of Barney_Frankisms I've ever heard...

Not the ones I know. Our regional is an observant jew and we have several jewish members.

I knew a guy (co-worker) who was kicked out by the Birchers. He was too radical even for them. He was a nice guy (no, really), but a real anti-Semite. He even used to praise Hitler’s “artwork”, which made me laugh. He’ been writing letters to the editor for decades to my local lib paper. In his columns he criticizes Israel and supports the Palestinians. I doubt the average reader knows the extent of his anti-Semitism.

I am not a Bircher, but I have read the New American for the past 25 years. It is one of the most informative magazines, well written, well researched, and pro American magazines that is out there. I have never noted evenf a hint of anti-Semitism or racism. And their articles on History are second to none.
