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#22651 Post contents: Like M. Chams, I too was exposed to JBS materials in high school during the 70s, and had teachers denounce the publications I read as "right wing garbage." I never knew why the JBS was suspected of anti-semitism; I had a (working class) uncle who asked me why I was interested in "nazi" materials. For my part, I always wondered why folks who were so good on economics and "conservative" philosophy became so eccentric when it came to their idea of the "great conspiracy." Although WFB certainly had a hand in derailing the JBS, it cannot be denied that their own intellectual bipolarity also contributed. Sent at: 2008 07 24
