Some of the standard RW conspiracy theories, especially the ones dealing with the Federal Reserve and internationalism, originated in efforts by the Hunts and their allies to discredit the liberal wing of the Republican Party, especially Nelson Rockefeller. In its early days, ca. 1958, the John Birch Society targeted Republicans more than Democrats.

Definitely. I believe Phyllis Schalfly was also part of that movement.
