Guest Post: The Ron Birch Society?
Continuing RD’s interest in all things Ron Paul: This morning’s LA Times contained an article about his supporters’ counter-convention, held in Minneapolis. One particular quote caught my eye: “If you like Ron Paul, you’ll love the John Birch Society.”
Having been taught (in high school, no less) that the John Birch Society is an explicitly racist organization that opposed the civil rights movement of the ’50s and ’60s, I figured this was a snarky criticism. Nope. It was said by John McManus, the leader of the John Birch Society. With friends like that, maybe Ron Paul doesn’t need any conspiracy against him by the Republican Party.

Yeah, it’s unfortunate that his candidacy has attracted so many nutjobs. Unfortunately, they’re not really doing anything to discourage them, either.

I love him and it wounds me that he is so out of fashion. ,
