<<I think that many times the characterization of Nazi, Bircher or McCarthyist when applied to some people on this board may not be that inaccurate.
To be accurate, the posters would actually have to be members of a neoNazi party or the John Birch Society, right? McCarthy is a lot tougher; he's been dead a while.>>

I think if someone's ideology is similar then it is not inaccurate. You don't have to be a card carrying member. If the ideology is the same it is not just a slur. And, unfortunately, there are some here who's ideologies are very similar. Personally I don't think the Birchers are so bad, from what I know of them. They believe in the constitution and US sovereignty, like republicans used to.

I also think that MSI and Ray Duray are two of the most interesting posters on SI.
