"Communist" or "Communist dupe" were the accusations thrown at Ike by 
the loony fringe.

Eisenhower put his influence behind the original version of the 1957 
civil rights act - to no effect due to the southern-western filibuster - 
and was very unhappy to see it cut down to an ineffective shadow of 
itself.  This hurt him in certain circles but as most of the virulent 
racists a this time supported the Democrats anyway, he didn't mind.
