re: to find the few kernels of truth that actually exist
Good luck! You are coming at this subject as though the rantings of the Birchers is altogether new to you. I have been aware of them and have done my DD since the early 60's. They were founded by Welch (of candy fame) in 1958. I hope you are not misleading the board by claiming to be a neophyte to these views when you are not. I will give you the benefit of doubt and take your claim at face value.
My last comment on the propoganda of the Birchers:
A month ago, I had a boil on my bum. I am convinced that there was a vast conspiracy to force Fruit of the Loom to add material to their skivvies which causes boils. The agitations of the Birchers makes as much sense.
