Some quick research:

Evans, Medford S. Forced Integration is Communism in Action. Jackson, Miss.: The Citizens’ Council, 1962. (McCain Library Mississippiana E185.61 .E93 1962)

Medford Evans - Civil rights myths and Communist realities by Medford Evans Conservative Society of America, 1965

Medford Evans was a member of the John Birch Society and still referenced at the JBS site. It’s important to note that the JBS has made its return with their appearance at CPAC.

And it looks like he’s still a hero of the mainstream rightwing movement.

Andrew Breitbart, Marc Morano to Receive Reed Irvine Accuracy in Media Awards

Never mind that they are getting these awards for thoroughly debunked lies:

“This country is indebted to Andrew Breitbart and Marc Morano for uncovering two of the most under-reported stories of 2009: corruption at ACORN and the ClimateGate scandal. I am thrilled to recognize Andrew Breitbart’s groundbreaking investigation into rampant corruption at the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, and Marc Morano’s excellent reporting on the ClimateGate scandal that exposed the politicized science behind claims that the science is settled on global warming,” said Don Irvine, chairman of Accuracy in Media.
