Did people back in the 60's really take George Lincoln Rockwell seriously?

I'm reading about that diseased fuck...what a whackjob. Like FR's Rimjob with a swastika. No, make that worse. This guy popularized Holocaust Denial, deporting African Americans to Africa among other strange fucking ideas.

The ultimate irony is that he was shot by one of his own followers (lesson to DU: hate will eat its own. Just watch the Bush Admin)

So for those who may have lived in the South, or anywhere during the 60's - did anyone take that nutcase seriously?

I mean this guy was crazier than George Wallace, even.
