The Tea Party and the John Birch Society: Two peas in a pod?
Even JFK was branded as being a Communist sympathizer and a traitor or America by the John Birch Society
In the days and hours prior to his assassination in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, President Kennedy was the subject of an extremely vitriolic hate campaign organized by the Dallas based American Fact Finding Committee. That group, an extremist right wing outfit with ties to the John Birch Society, even went so far as to sponsor a full page ad entitled “Welcome Mr. President” in the Morning News (Dallas paper) on the day of his assassination. The ad expressed hostility to Kennedy and his administration’s policies. Also distributed during that time were pamphlets and posters designed to resemble FBI wanted posters, with Kennedy displayed as the criminal in question.
The portrait of Kennedy is above the red printed words “Wanted For Treason.” Below that are listed Kennedy’s seven treasonous “crimes” against the people of United States. The reverse features the same exact photos of Kennedy and is printed in Spanish. The poster displays normal folds, minor toning, a few staple holes and some tape reinforcement on the reverse (Spanish side) fold lines.

The Age of Blasphemy 
The JBS did not ‘morph’ into the Tea Party. the later was created by the Koch brothers, whose father Fred was a founding member of the JBS.
The JBS saw a resurgence with the election of Reagan, and all the while, one man more than any other, has been carrying water for the Kochs and is closely aligned to Tea Partiers: Grover Norquist.
Mr. Norquist has his fingerprints on most of the Koch’s agenda, sometimes setting what that agenda will be.
