In a sudden outbreak (as Riehl notes, almost as if it were an “orchestrated event”) a story appears on a number of blogs suggesting Sarah Palin was associated with the John Birch Society.
It’s already been debunked.
The current, and then-, president of the group, John McManus, confirmed that the cover fit the description of a 1995 issue of the magazine. The headline, “Con-Con Call,” refers to discussion at the time of a constitutional convention. The headline appears above a picture of then-Utah Governor Mike Leavitt, who had floated the notion as a way of returning the balance of power back toward the states. But the author warned that the convention could actually be a devious ploy aimed at increasing government power. ….
“Any attempt to link her to the John Birch Society would be ridiculous.”
All this since I went to bed last night.
