Tony Stewart is stupid
Arthur: Your comments are, of course, quite correct.
In a recent exchange of emails with JBS Coordinator Hal Shurtleff, I brought his attention to the data below — and I also replied on the JBS website to comments which the JBS has made in rebuttal to Rachel Maddow about a “Negro Soviet Republic”.
To HAL:
The civil rights movement was the Birch Society’s single best opportunity to demonstrate how it intended to apply its often-stated principles about opposition to government tyranny and oppression and government violation of the Constitutional rights of Americans.
The instrumentalities of government in many of our southern states (particularly Mississippi) were precisely what [JBS speaker/author and prominent African American columnist] George Schuyler described – and I will repeat his comment here to refresh your memory:
“The White Citizens Council which has branches or cells everywhere, controls by terror such states as Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and to a lesser extent, Virginia…It has defied and disrupted the operation of the laws of the land. It has used threats and vicious economic reprisals…It has become a legal arm of Mississippi's Government.” [4/22/61 Schuyler column in Pittsburgh PA Courier]
And what, exactly, did the JBS propose as its remedy to such a grave situation?
NOTHING WHATSOEVER!!
Instead the JBS suggested that we just let the people, politicians, local communities and government instrumentalities responsible for creating, defending, and implementing the “terror”, “threats”, “intimidation”, “economic reprisals”, etc. – continue “business as usual” IN PERPETUITY – unless and until the local governments should miraculously decide to change their laws, customs and practices.
Or as J. Edgar Hoover famously put it about the state of law enforcement in Mississippi — at the same press conference where he called MLK Jr. “a notorious liar”, — Mississippi was
“…filled with water moccasins, rattlesnakes, and red-neck sheriffs, and they are all in the same category, as far as I am concerned.”
MY JBS WEBSITE COMMENTS:
In his remarks above concerning what adhering to the JBS position on discriminatory Jim Crow laws and segregation in our southern states would mean for the victims, Jim Capo wrote:
“Admittedly, that route would likely have taken longer and left the many victims of Jim Crow laws wanting. And yes, we admit that most of the leaders of The John Birch Society not being directly affected by the worst elements of segregation, could more freely choose to stand on the principle that the Federal government, restricted by the U.S. Constitution, had no authority to enact the civil rights laws.”
However, I would change Jim’s characterization of “most of the leaders” to NONE of the leaders of the JBS and I would add something that Jim doesn’t mention – in order to illustrate the gravity of the problem confronted by African-Americans.
The following quote comes from a source which even Birchers should respect – a very prominent African-American author and JBS speaker, George S. Schuyler:
“The White Citizens Council which has branches or cells everywhere, controls by terror such states as Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and to a lesser extent, Virginia…It has defied and disrupted the operation of the laws of the land. It has used threats and vicious economic reprisals…It has become a legal arm of Mississippi's Government.” [4/22/61 Schuyler column in Pittsburgh PA Courier]
Furthermore, let’s also consider a comment made by JBS member (and FBI informant within the White Knights of the KKK of Mississippi), Rev. Delmar Dennis:
“The Klan in Mississippi has completely infiltrated every phase of the legal, political, social and economic system in Mississippi. The membership in the Klan ranges from common laborers and criminals, to judges, lawyers, doctors and political leaders. While they may not be active members, they are secret members who use their influence to further Klan efforts and aid Klan activities, for example, it is generally known in Klan circles that supervisors who pick juries use their influence to get Klan members on the jury panel.”
Unfortunately, the Birch Society interpreted the problem in our southern states as entirely an abstraction instead of understanding the real-world consequences to living human beings.
In its commendable concern for abstract principles, the JBS totally ignored, de-valued, trivialized, or facilitated the daily injustices and crimes often committed (or condoned) by the very people in southern communities whom had the responsibility for translating abstract principles into reality. These were the folks who made “state’s rights” and the words “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness” a cruel joke.
Jim also ignores or minimizes other extremely pertinent aspects of this situation.
The reason why the JBS is so often “linked” (unfairly) to the KKK is because:
(1) they both supported and praised the same racist politicians—such as Gov. George Wallace (AL) and Gov. Ross Barnett (MS) and Senator James Eastland (MS) and
(2) they both opposed all civil rights legislation and pro-integration efforts and
(3) they both described the civil rights movement as “Communist-created” and “Communist controlled” and “serving only Communist purposes” while simultaneously denouncing all civil rights leaders and organizations and
(4) they both had senior officials who were racists and segregationists.
In addition, even Rev. Delmar Dennis told his FBI contact that the KKK viewed the JBS as a fertile recruiting ground. In fact, one JBS chapter in Mississippi had to be disbanded because it refused to terminate the membership of a known KKK member.
Dennis himself was a JBS member, a segregationist, a KKK member, and a member of Americans for the Preservation of the White Race even before he became an FBI informant. He also founded a whites-only church in his community.
As the FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Jackson MS field office wrote in a summary memo about Dennis:
“Informant is widely known in rural Mississippi as an ardent segregationist…He founded the First Southern Methodist Church in Mississippi, which church was founded for the sole intent of maintaining racial segregation.”
In an 11/7/64 report to his FBI contact, Dennis stated that:
“I have learned that the Klan uses meetings of the John Birch Society, Masons, and Americans For The Preservation of the White Race to solicit members for the Klan. The Auxiliary Police in Neshoba County is a front for Klan membership in Neshoba County.”
The Birch Society welcomed racists and segregationists into its ranks as members, as chapter and section leaders, as writers, and speakers, as well as National Council members – for example A.G. Heinsohn Jr., T. Coleman Andrews, and Tom Anderson.
Major officers of the White Citizens Councils movement were also Birchers, such as: Medford Evans, William J. Simmons, and Louis W. Hollis.
The Birch Society employed racists and segregationists as speakers under the auspices of its American Opinion Speakers Bureau – such as Sheriff Jim Clark of Selma AL and Rev. Ferrell Griswold of AL.
The Birch Society approved of and promoted incumbent politicians and candidates for political office who were unapologetic Klan-supported white supremacists – such as Sen. James O. Eastland of MS and Gov. George Wallace of AL and Ross Barnett of MS.
Often, the JBS reprinted their speeches or otherwise endorsed their rants which characterized the civil rights movement as a Communist enterprise.
Kent Courtney, a prominent JBS leader in Louisiana, was the featured speaker at a 6/5/65 “Conservative Rally” in Natchez MS sponsored by Americans For The Preservation of the White Race, Inc.
William J. Story, a JBS member who was a candidate for Governor of Virginia refused to join the other major party candidates in condemning the KKK.
James H. Sutherland was a JBS chapter and section leader in Missouri who founded the St. Louis chapter of White Citizens Councils. He was also active in Southern States Industrial Council and helped craft their annual Declaration of Policy which opposed school integration.
Another prominent Bircher, Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker, wrote in 1965:
“I’ll bet you will find more good Americans in the Ku Klux Klan than in the Americans For Democratic Action.”
NEGRO SOVIET REPUBLIC
It appears that Jim entirely missed the point – so let me spell it out for him.
As Robert Welch correctly pointed out, there was a time period during which the CPUSA thought that their best strategy in order to win African Americans over to the CPUSA was to propose creation of a Negro Soviet Republic comprising most of the states in the old south.
However, that strategy was discarded at the 17th National CPUSA Convention in 1959. Nevertheless, the Birch Society continued to promote the idea for many years afterward.
In J. Edgar Hoover’s January 1960 testimony before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee Hoover discussed the 17th National Convention of the Communist Party USA held in New York City on December 10, 1959:
“The Negro resolution adopted by the convention discarded the party's historic position advocating 'self-determination' meaning that Negroes should be given the right to form a separate nation in the Southern States…The 1959 convention resolution hence represents a party admission that its position concerning Negroes is bankrupt. Time itself has shown that the party is not interested in the welfare of the Negro, but only in using him as a tool to advance party interests.” [J. Edgar Hoover: An Analysis of the 17th National Convention of the Communist Party USA; Statement made to Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, 1/17/60, page 7; Also see: FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, March 1960 – for same comment.]
Even the KKK newspaper, The Fiery Cross, recognized this change of Communist strategy!:
“With the CPUSA steadily declining in open membership, the official doctrine was changed from creating a separate Negro state in the U.S. to one of full integration. (Ben) Davis [National Secretary CPUSA] had argued for this change in order to obtain maximum Negro support. The party line change became official in 1959.” [The Fiery Cross, "Communist Exploitation of the U.S. Racial Crisis", August 1964, page 1]
Los Angeles FBI file 100-3267, serial #1998 is a 3/14/60 memo concerning an informant within the CPUSA who reported on a Southern California District Communist Party Convention meeting held on January 29, 1960. The Chairman of that CP meeting was Max Steinberg. Steinberg introduced a CP member (Bill Taylor) who was a delegate to the 17th National Convention of the CPUSA. Taylor reported (page 10 of memo):
“The decision of the National Convention on the Negro question was that the Negroes are not a separate nation, however they are a racially distinct national minority and they conform to the Stalin definition of Nationhood. They have a right to equality, therefore the Negro question is a national question though the Negro people in the U.S. do not constitute a separate nation.”
JBS member (and speaker) Lola Belle Holmes also attended this convention and she confirmed that the Party discarded its “Negro Soviet Republic” strategy.
Furthermore, in its national advertisement, “What’s Wrong With Civil Rights?” – the Birch Society disseminated the following falsehood:
“For the civil rights movement in the United States with all of its growing agitation and riots and bitterness, and insidious steps toward the appearance of civil war, has not been infiltrated by the Communists, as you now frequently hear. It has been deliberately and almost wholly created by the Communists patiently building up to this present stage for more than thirty years.”
In support of its contention regarding the origins of our civil rights movement, Robert Welch strongly recommended Alan Stang's JBS-published 1965 book entitled “It's Very Simple: The True Story of Civil Rights” because, in Welch's words,
“It gives the whole picture of the 'civil rights' development, as a part of Communist strategy, more completely and convincingly than anything else available.” [November 1965 JBS Bulletin]
Again, in May 1966, Mr. Welch used the JBS Bulletin to heap praise on Stang’s book:
“This book, because of its thoroughness, its comprehensive coverage of the whole 'civil rights' story, and its meticulous documentation, is the best single searchlight we have for exposing the 'civil rights' fraud.”
In May 1965, the FBI evaluated Stang’s book in a memo:
“It's Very Simple is an attempt to rationalize today's civil rights movement in this country as primarily a communist operation…Practically all his documentation is to public source material and there is no significant information in the book which appears to be new and previously unknown to the Bureau. Stang makes frequent use of literary license and importantly fails to include documentation for key passages (examples appear on pages 101 and 185). An entire chapter (14) is devoted to an attack on civil rights legislation and the book, in general, is critical of all Administration and other efforts aimed at improving the lot of the Negro.”
The concluding “Observations” paragraph of the memo states:
“The details of the book do not support the strong conclusions reached by the author. We have had available to us all the material which Stang has plus considerable additional data from our investigations and we could not arrive at such conclusions. The impression is received that Stang may have well started with his conclusions and then developed the information and manner of presentation which he hoped would prove his point. This work must be viewed in the light of the author's apparent close connections with Robert Welch and the John Birch Society.” [HQ 100-106670-1412, May 28, 1965, and 100-106670-1525, June 24, 1965, both F.J. Baumgardner to W.C. Sullivan]
After warning about radicals that had no genuine interest in advancing civil rights, Hoover observed in a December 1964 speech, that:
“Let me emphasize that the American civil rights movement is not, and has never been dominated by the communists–because the overwhelming majority of civil rights leaders in this country, both Negro and white, have recognized and rejected communism as a menace to the freedoms of all.”
[J. Edgar Hoover speech, 12/12/64, Our Heritage of Greatness, pg 7 - Hoover speech before Pennsylvania Society and the Society of Pennsylvania Women; bold emphasis on "not" and "never" appears in original document].
In November 1966, Hoover received an inquiry from a self-identified JBS member who saw the above quote in a letter-to-the-editor of his local newspaper and he wanted to know if the quote was an accurate reflection of Hoover’s judgment both in 1964 and 1966. Hoover replied affirmatively and concluded: “This position remains essentially unchanged today.” [HQ 62-104401-3021, 11/15/66 Hoover reply to incoming Bircher inquiry].
Also see following Hoover comments:
“It would be absurd to suggest that the aspirations of Negroes for equality are communist inspired. This is demonstrably not true…” [J. Edgar Hoover speech, Faith In Freedom, 12/4/63, page 6].
“In general, legitimate civil rights organizations have been successful in excluding Communists, although a few have received covert counseling from them and have even accepted them as members…The CP is not satisfied with this situation and is continually striving to infiltrate the civil rights movement at every level. ” [J. Edgar Hoover, U.S. News and World Report, 11/1/65, page 46].
“It is no secret that one of the bitterest disappointments to communistic efforts in this Nation has been their failure to lure our Negro citizens into the party. Despite every type of propaganda boomed at our Nation’s Negro citizens, they have never succumbed to the party’s saccharine promises of a Communist ‘Utopia’. This generation and generations to come for many years owe a tremendous debt to our Negro citizens who have consistently refused to surrender their freedoms for the tyranny of communism.” J. Edgar Hoover testimony before U.S. Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, 01/17/60, reprinted in March 1960 FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, page 7]
As these comments make clear, Hoover and the FBI saw Communists as OUTSIDERS seeking ways to exert influence and control within the civil rights movement whereas the JBS portrayed them as INSIDERS who created and controlled the movement from the beginning.
Postscript for LJ Miller:Just one more point concerning your absurdity about the JBS Conservative Index (now called the Freedom Index).You claim that the Index was not intended to express admiration. That is so patently absurd I can’t believe you put that in writing.The entire purpose of the Index was to evaluate voting behavior of politicians so that readers could determine (according to the Birch Society) whom was genuinely pro-Constitution and pro-limited government. In other words, the Index was intended to distinguish the “good guys” from the “bad guys” so readers would not support the low-scoring “bad guys”.Now, with respect to the situation in the 1960′s (and previously).The following quote comes from a source which even Birchers respect – i.e. prominent African-American intellectual and author George S. Schuyler whom, by the way, lectured across the country under the auspices of the Birch Society’s Speakers Bureau!Schuyler wrote:”The White Citizens Council which has branches or cells everywhere, controls by terror such states as Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and to a lesser extent, Virginia…It has defied and disrupted the operation of the laws of the land. It has used threats and vicious economic reprisals…It has become a legal arm of Mississippi’s Government.” [4/22/61 Schuyler column in Pittsburgh PA Courier] Furthermore, let’s also consider a comment made by JBS member (and FBI informant within the White Knights of the KKK of Mississippi), Rev. Delmar Dennis:”The Klan in Mississippi has completely infiltrated every phase of the legal, political, social and economic system in Mississippi. The membership in the Klan ranges from common laborers and criminals, to judges, lawyers, doctors and political leaders. While they may not be active members, they are secret members who use their influence to further Klan efforts and aid Klan activities, for example, it is generally known in Klan circles that supervisors who pick juries use their influence to get Klan members on the jury panel.”Unfortunately, the Birch Society interpreted the problem in our southern states as entirely an abstraction instead of understanding the real-world consequences to living human beings. So what did the JBS recommend to address the grave situation described above by Birchers George Schuyler and Rev. Dennis? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!The JBS totally ignored, de-valued, trivialized, or facilitated the daily injustices and crimes often committed (or condoned) by the very people in southern communities whom had the responsibility for translating abstract principles into reality. These were the folks who made “state’s rights” and the words “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” into a cruel joke. Like the entire white supremacist movement — the Birch Society (1) supported and praised the same racist politicians—such as Gov. George Wallace (AL) and Gov. Ross Barnett (MS) and Senator James Eastland (MS) and (2) opposed all civil rights legislation and pro-integration efforts and (3) described the civil rights movement as “Communist-created” and “Communist controlled” and “serving only Communist purposes” while simultaneously denouncing all civil rights leaders and organizations and (4) welcomed into the JBS as members and as senior officials — well-known racists and segregationists.In addition, even Rev.

Dennis was a segregationist, a KKK member, and a member of Americans for the Preservation of the White Race even before he became an FBI informant. He also founded a whites-only church in his community. As the FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Jackson MS field office wrote in a summary memo about Dennis: “Informant is widely known in rural Mississippi as an ardent segregationist…He founded the First Southern Methodist Church in Mississippi, which church was founded for the sole intent of maintaining racial segregation.” Rev. Dennis did not oppose KKK racism. He opposed KKK violence! The Birch Society welcomed racists and segregationists into its ranks as members, as chapter and section leaders, as writers and speakers, and including as National Council members — such as A.G. Heinsohn Jr., T. Coleman Andrews, and Tom Anderson. Major officers of the White Citizens Councils movement were also Birchers, such as: Medford Evans, William J. Simmons, and Louis W. Hollis. The Birch Society employed racists and segregationists as speakers under the auspices of the American Opinion Speakers Bureau – such as Sheriff Jim Clark of Selma AL and Rev. Ferrell Griswold of AL.

Eastland of MS and Gov. George Wallace of AL and Ross Barnett of MS. Often, the JBS sponsored or reprinted speeches by these folks or it otherwise endorsed their rants which characterized the civil rights movement as a Communist enterprise — which was certainly music to the ears of the most rabid bigots in control of southern communities. Kent Courtney, a prominent JBS leader in Louisiana, was the featured speaker at a 6/5/65 “Conservative Rally” in Natchez MS sponsored by Americans For The Preservation of the White Race, Inc. Another prominent Bircher, Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker, wrote in 1965:“I’ll bet you will find more good Americans in the Ku Klux Klan than in the Americans For Democratic Action.” William J. Story, a JBS member who was a candidate for Governor of Virginia refused to join the other major party candidates in condemning the KKK. James H. Sutherland was a JBS chapter and section leader in Missouri who founded the St. Louis chapter of White Citizens Councils. He was also active in Southern States Industrial Council and helped craft their annual Declaration of Policy which opposed school integration. The JBS IS NOT “Constitutionally moderate” — which is why virtually the entire conservative intellectual and political activist community rejected and denounced the JBS.
