John Birch Society, an organization to the far, far right of the Tea Party

Would that it were so. Many of the Birchers' idiocies have been wholeheartedly adopted by the TeaPublicans.

e.g. have you forgotten that the Prez is a Muslim socialist who isn't an American citizen & is waging class warfare??

And the Birchers are alive and well; check their website at www.jbs.org

Several of their headlines are:

"The Environmentalists' Myth of American Energy Shortages"

"The World Honors Nelson Mandela, a Communist Terrorist"

"Chile on Verge of Electing a Communist President "

"The Removal of God From Public Schools"

"Convince Congress to Defund ObamaCare"

Sure sounds like the Tea Party to me!
