The John Birch Society meets The Republican TEA Party... 
"...It was more than 50 years ago that disgruntled conservatives organized themselves into the John Birch Society. Mocked mercilessly for being against fluoridation, the John Birch Society is also famous for imagining a communist under every rock, going so far as accusing even Republican President Eisenhower of being a communist agent. Conservative extremists in 1960 were also virulently anti-Catholic and with the Irish-Catholic John Kennedy atop the Democratic ticket, the 1960 presidential election was marred with overheated rhetoric and violent activities. Like many conservative extremists today with President Obama, members of the John Birch Society never accepted the legitimacy of the Kennedy presidency and continued their delusional and dangerous rhetoric..."

Are the weird John Bircher's, who were unceremoniously dumped from the conservative movement in the mid-1960's, re-emerging to besmirch the Tea Party movement?
Possibly. Then again, it sounds pretty convenient for the anti-Tea Party crowd. So perhaps it's not what it seems...

People believe what they want to believe even when it makes no sense at all. When you continually watch garbage, your brain starts to believe the garbage actually smells good. Turn off cable 'news', America. Take your brains back before trying to tell the rest of us that you are going to take YOUR country back. It doesn't belong to you exclusively. If some us had to live thru Bush's 8 years of mismanagement(to put it mildly), surely you can suck it up and act like mature, responsible human beings for a couple of years. That means you have to put down the racist signs and stop the name-calling. It will be hard at first, but you'll feel better about life once you get used to behaving in a more civilized manner. Godd luck with that!
Since I don't have cable or sattelite TV, I don't visit the world of MCNBC or FOX. It's pretty easy to fool yourself into believing that watching an hour of cable "news" makes you an informed citizen.
I love how those on the right complain about the MSN and those on the left complain about it. I tell the MSNBCers they sound like FOX'ers and v of v. Since they don't pay attention to the enemy camp, they have a clue about what goes on.
