McManus responds to Rush Limbaugh Please give this widest dissemination. It is long overdue that people be held accountable for what they say with reckless abandon, about others, to further their own ambitions: The John Birch Society Appleton, WI 54912-8040 July 16, 2004 Rush Limbaugh P.O. Box 420058 Palm Coast, FL 32142-0058 Mr. Limbaugh: On July 13th, you welcomed William F. Buckley, Jr. to your radio show. According to the transcript of this particular program posted on your web site, Mr. Buckley congratulated himself and his magazine for ridding "the conservative movement" of "kooks" among whom he claimed were "anti-Semites." You immediately followed his self-adulatory remark with, "I think you cited the John Birch Society." Mr. Buckley promptly acknowledged that indeed he did, stating, "Yeah, for five years there was the John Birch Society." We find his suggestion that we existed for only "five years" quite remarkable in light of the fact that he has expended such an unusual amount of energy during the past 40 years seeking to destroy our organization. He knows, as do you, that The John Birch Society has been continuously informing the public since its founding in 1958, far more years than the "five" he grudgingly noted. However, having been given the opportunity by you of linking our organization with odious anti-Semitism, Mr. Buckley performed as if on cue. After mentioning our Society by name, he recalled his long ago finding of a need for "rejecting certain other things" among which he included "the kind of racial animosity that culminated in Germany." Ergo, The John Birch Society should be identified with the Nazis who hated, persecuted and murdered countless numbers of Jews because they were Jews. Mr. Buckley knows better. And, from your own association with our organization years ago, you do also. Any charge or any inference that The John Birch Society has ever stood for hatred of anyone, Jews included, is totally false and no one can demonstrate otherwise. You and your hero owe an apology to us and our tens of thousands of members, a goodly number of whom are Jewish. In the interview, you saluted your guest as "the go-to guy for the definitions, the explanations of modern conservatism." You are absolutely correct, but your emphasis should be on the word "modern." Mr. Buckley took the Old Right conservatism of his father and many other fine Americans and transformed it into a movement that ignored the U.S. Constitution while favoring an array of positions championed by the socialists and internationalists of the liberal Establishment. His "modern" conservatism has included support for the Panama Canal giveaway, the United Nations, the Brady gun control bill, foreign aid, pornography, NAFTA, legalized prostitution, GATT, membership in the Council on Foreign Relations, even abortion. That last departure from true conservatism, occurring as it did seven years before Roe v. Wade, cost him the friendship of his once-closest ally, L. Brent Bozell. Further, he couldn't recall the name of the man who recruited him into the CIA. Allow me to help. His name was Willmoore Kendall, the OSS/CIA veteran who not only directed him to the CIA but also became one of the founding members of the National Review staff. It was while Mr. Buckley served in the CIA in Mexico during 1952 that he wrote the article for Commonweal magazine in which he called for "a totalitarian bureaucracy within our shores [and] centralization of power in Washington." This is hardly conservatism of any variety. And it was Kendall and James Burnham, each early Trotskyite socialists, who began to pave the way to friendship for the magazine and for Mr. Buckley with the more recent and unmistakable advocates of socialism and internationalism who are the leading neoconservatives. All of this and more can be found in my 2002 book, William F. Buckley, Jr., Pied Piper for the Establishment, published by The John Birch Society. It was quite amusing to find Mr. Buckley acknowledging its existence in a Human Events interview where he discounted it as "boring." Readers find it quite the opposite. Mr. Limbaugh, you ought to know better - and maybe you do. The standard for Americans isn't Buckley-defined "modern" conservatism that shifts ever leftward. It's the U.S. Constitution that Mr. Buckley scarcely ever cites and obviously does not revere. His only mentions of its very existence have occurred during the several times he advocated a constitutional convention that surely would have seen the venerable document emasculated, quite likely destroyed. It is no surprise that Mr. Buckley has for years carried on a crusade to harm, even annihilate The John Birch Society. Our organization has been on the opposite side of virtually every substantive issue he has ever embraced. This is the side of the Old Right, the upholders of U.S. sovereignty and constitutionally limited government. Instead of taking the lead from Mr. Buckley, this is the side where you should be found as well. Most sincerely, John F. McManus Council Member and Official Spokesman Copy to: William F.
