"Fascinating! Speeches given during two evenings in 1974 and stitched together into a nine minute video. I had never seen any film or video of John Birch Society founder Robert Welch Jr. before and this is educational. For a guy thought of as a total crackpot (and I’m not saying he wasn’t) he comes off here much better than, say, Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh. He’s at least thoughtful, not hyperbolic and he’s even somewhat intellectual. Certainly puts Glenn Beck into perspective, doesn’t he?"
