The Birchers tended to go a little overboard. Everybody was a communist. They declared Ike to be a dedicated member of the communist conspiracy. That well qualifies as nutty.

In addition, there was a strong streak of anti-Semitism, as well.

They did indeed accuse Ike of malfeasance, but every bit of it has been proven beyond a shadow of doubt by the opening of the Soviet archives.
Calling out the facts is not nutty in my book.
