STOP HITLERy and Alan Stang (see below) aren't anywhere near as rare as I would hope but that type, the pseudo-conservative, has been with us for quote some time. Hofstadter offers some examples of his own (page 45):
"The lady who, when General Eisenhower's victory over Senator Taft had finally become official in 1952, stalked out of the Hilton Hotel declaiming: 'This means eight more years of socialism' was probably a fairly good representative of the pseudo-conservative mentality. So also were the gentlemen who, at the Freedom Congress held at Omaha over a year ago by some "patriotic" organizations, objected to Earl Warren's appointmen to the Supreme Court with the assertion: 'Middle-of-the-road thinking can and will destroy us'"
