Birchers are the proto-typical conspiracy theorists. Although they were ardent anti-Communists, they tended to believe in things like The Protocals and to sympathize with fascism.

Anti-communist, but pro-fascist? So, you've bought into the propaganda that fascism is right wing communism? Get a clue, communism and fascism are two sides of the same coin.

A Bircher might tell you, "Well, maybe Hitler wasn't so bad, afterall?"

Ridiculous assertion.

Also, they were radical isolationists, thus, the pro-Axis Charles Lindberg is a Birchite icon.

Radical isolationists? Is that anything like radical constitutionalists? Lindberg is an icon because he was a valiant defender of the constitution.

You can be a radical anything and everyone who cannot compromise is nothing but a dogmatist. Haven’t you ever heard the expression that the letter of the law kills, it is the spirit of the law that gives life? I am an admirer of Lindberg, but that does not extend to his obvious fascination with Hitler and Nazi Germany.
