Here's a couple more items to add to a very good article that was
recently posted:

It should also be pointed out that Carto has been in cahoots with
Lyndon LaRouche (who is simultaneously called an ultra-conservative
and a marxist) for several years, and that LaRouche controls Liberty
Lobby.

Carto was thrown out of the John Birch Society, much to the Society's
credit.  The Society has continually denounced Liberty Lobby and
Spotlight as fascist and anti-Semetic.  As well, the past chairperson
of the Society, the late Congressman Larry McDonald, submitted an
article to the Congressional Record denouncing the Liberty Lobby and
Spotlight.

John Rees, contributing author to the Society's weekly news magazine,
"The Review of the News" and author of his own "Intelligence Digest"
distributed in Washington, has authored numerous columns about the
Liberty Lobby, Lyndon LaRouche, and the neo-Nazi organizations and
their ties together.  These articles bring to light the real horror of
these militant, racist, and anti-Semetic right-wing totalitarian
groups.

(As a personal aside - these neo-Nazis have claimed, after they've
been caught, that their crimes are "political" in nature, and justify
the killing of innocent people, the robbing of banks, etc., as
necessary in their political battle.  Phooey.  These people are the
same as the mob.  A thug is a thug, and just because one thug hangs a
flag outside his house doesn't excuse him in any way from the fact
that he committed those crimes.  I feel that way about fanatics of
both the left and the right who commit crimes in a "political" or
"religious" crusade.)

It should also be noted that Carto and LaRouche continue to belittle
the John Birch Society by saying that the Society is "unwilling to
accept the true problem" (i.e. that there is a grand Jewish
Conspiracy, which the Liberty Lobby preaches).
