The accusations been around since the beginning, the Birchers in the 1950s were accusing Civil Rights organizers of being Communist plants under Soviet control and even accused Eisenhower of being a Soviet mole. Its just standard for anyone who thinks they're absolutely right, cant comprehend disagreement, cant handle they're not in the majority, and jumps to the conclusion it is all a big plot.
Ironically some of that shit is true. Communists were a huge force in civil rights organizing before WWII and I imagine a lot of the people working on it in the postwar era were Communists who left the party (which was most of them).
There idea of Eisenhower as a soviet mole is funny as fuck though.
