William F Buckley once led the purge of the neo-Confederates and Birchers from the Republican Party. Time to do another clean-up.

I know Buckley purged Birchers from NR, but when exactly did he purge “neo-Confederates”? And who were some of them?

Since I don’t recall Jesse Helms or Strom Thurmond ever getting the boot I’m wondering who it is that you have in mind.

Whats wrong with Birchers?

Buckley’s dead...he leaves behind son Chris Buckley to vote for Obama and a nephew, Brent Bozell, who just disassociate with National Review because NR is calling Mittens a conservative.
