I googled "The Fellowship" and came up with this. They certainly are a sinister looking bunch:

[Secret Agent Man]

I call Alinsky alert here.

Jack M over at Ace of Spades covered it a bit. He actually attended once while he was a staffer in Congress. It is a nonstory anywhere but in the religon hating left.

I believe C.S. Lewis and Tolkien were on the same page:

 

C.S. Lewis: The Inner Ring ... On Making Good Men Do Bad Things

It's a pity the Lord of the Rings got hijacked by homosexuals.   Back in the early 90's I did some work with a software company up in Scott's Valley.   There was a fairly heavy concentration of homosexuals at the company.   They said they saw the ring as a metaphor for marriage.   Nothing has changed much except the tactics being used to destroy the institution.

is any of this paranoid rant true?

Unlikely.

So now Hillary is supposed to be a closet conservative?

The reviews start with comments like ""Forget what you think you know about the Christian Right" and then go on to link this cabal to Marx, Stalin and Hitler, - all of whom were LEFTISTS. (Hitler was head of the National Workers Socialist (NAZI) Party).

So I don't know where the "right" gets to be part of this.

I think the reviewers make the mistake of equating fundamentalism to right wing activity, which is an erroneous equivalence.

How much did she pay this man to write this BS is what I’m wondering.

What in the world would make you think SHE paid anyone to write it? Sounds more like something from the Obama camp to me.

What a bunch of hokum. The author mentioned every Republican boogey-man from the past two decades with the possible exception of Richard Mellon Scaife.

I wouldn’t even expect to see tripe like this in Weekly World News or the Puffington Host. I guess “The Nation” is hurting big time for circulation.

“notoriously racist Senator George Allen.”
See what they do? They create a storm over an innocent action, accuse the person of racism, then treat the false accusation as a fact for years afterwards.

“notoriously racist Senator George Allen.” See what they do? They create a storm over an innocent action, accuse the person of racism, then treat the false accusation as a fact for years afterwards.

And yet they don't treat the fact of an actual racist as fact. Former Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd being Exhibits A–Z.

What a wretched right-wing fascist, racist, xenophobic, sexist organization this has to be .. they segregate youth by gender in housing! Need we know more?

[Shery]

This guy is a fruit cake!

Must be pushing this new book: “The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power” by Jeff Sharlet.
