As I recall, there were a couple of songs that took somewhat blunted shots at the Birchers, too.

Maybe the Chad Mitchell Trio's "John Birch Society":

We're after Rosie Clooney, we've gotten Pinkie Lee
And the day we get Red Skelton won't that be a victory

And then the famous:
If mommie is a commie then you gotta turn her in

My favorite Chad Mitchell Trio tune is this one from 1964:

Barry's Boys

"We're the bright young men who want to go back to 1910,
We're Barry's Boys.
We're the kids with a cause: a government like Grandma's was,
We're Barry's Boys..
We're the new kind of youth at your alma mater,.
Back to silver standard and solid Goldwater..
Back to when the poor were poor and rich were rich,.
Ane you felt so damn secure just knowing which were which..

We're the folks who would be social without security, .
We're Barry's Boys..
Now his hat's in the ring, where Westbrook Pegler once was king.
Now he's too left-wing..
So, if you don't want to recognize that old Red China,.
Or Canada, or Britain, or South Carolina, .
You, too, can join the crew. Tippecanoe and Nixon, too..
Back to Barry, back to cash and carry,
Back with Barry's Boys.
