Good evening. I am tony clark. I am really glad you are all here. I think this will be a fascinating evening because it kind ofpo tells why we are in politics the way we are right now. When i was growing up, folk music was a really big deal. There was a group called the chad mitchell trio that had a song called the dont John Birch Society with lyrics like if mommy is a connie, youve got to turn her in. Just really a funny, funny song. They would sing things Like Fighting for the right to fight the right fight for the right. Should google the trio and the John Birch Society. The billboards at the time along the highways would say things like Impeach Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren or get the u. S. Out of the un. They were very well known back in the 60s. By the end of the vietnam war you did not really hear much about them. Their influence carried much further. Their influence did not disappear.

It was just really a funny, funny song, you know . And they would sing things Like Fighting for the right to fight the right fight for the right things. But sometimes you should google chad mitchell trio and the the John Birch Society song, the billboards at the time, the highways would say things like Impeach Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren or get the us out of the u. N. So they were very well known back in the sixties, but by the end of the vietnam war, you didnt hear much about. But as youll hear tonight, their influence carried carried much further. That influence did not disappear. Matthew dallek is a professor of graduate to graduate school of political management at George Washington
