Whereas liberalism excused or even embraced the radicals of the far left, conservatives were quick to distance themselves from the radicals of the far right, writing out those deemed beyond the pale from participation in public conversation.

I reject this premise. The neo-Nazi movement and KKK were primarily democrats. The most anti-Semitic people I know are not conservatives.
