Co-founder Paul Weyrich and his backer Joseph Coors were not "conservative." They wanted to tear down the country and remake it into some fascistic wet dream.

It shouldn't be a surprise the HF would stick up for neo- Nazis. It is not a "conservative" organization.

The word "conservative" hasn't had any relevance since Bush II. The GOP has been overtaken by the radical right long since.
