Entry: Ron Paul, the Birchers, and the Delicate Sensibilities of David Weigel Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/ron_paul_the_birchers_and_the_delicate_sensibilities_of_david_weigel#22630 Post contents: I checked out the JBS website recently. Not a hint of the alleged racism famously attributed by WFB. Then again, I have also searched the public writings and memorialized speeches of Joseph Sobran and Patrick Buchanan without finding a trace of the anti-Jewishness that WFB charged them with. More and more, I think the WFB was the architect of the presently (but ever so briefly) ascendant Neo-Conservative Movement, not the modern "Conservative Movement." Indeed, the whole point of National Review seems to have been to appropriating the word "Conservative" for otherwise liberal anti-Communist, Zionists while marginalizing the Old Right in public opinion.
