Buckley would especially be incensed at what the Republican Party of today has become, considering that he risked his entire career on pronouncing the Birchers as "far removed from common sense" and fighting tirelessly to remove their influence from the party decades ago. Were he still hale and hearty today it would not surprise me if he would almost come to blows against the parade of clowns leading the party of today.
I'm sorry, unless William F. Buckley was in opposition to his family, friends, and his own book, he appears to have denounced the Birchers
owing to his personal ambition and not "for the good of the party, or the good of the country."
Buckley appears to have been "stealthy," RWE.

Buckley's sister married Bozell, Jr., who was close to John Chamberlain, literary collaborator with MacArthur's intelligence chief,
nicknamed, "my little fascist," by Gen. Macarthur.
Chamberlain wrote in his syndicated column that the son-in-law of convicted felon bootlegger, Sherman Billingsley, (client of Roy Cohn)
mob "front man" of the Stork Club, Alex Rorke, was a guest in Chamberlain's Cheshire, CT, living room just a week before Rorke disappeared
over Cuba while attempting to aerial bomb one of the two petroleum refineries on that island. Rorke's pilot, Sullivan, was of Waterbury,
the city bordering Chamberlain's town when the two presumed to have crashed during their bombing attempt.
Willoughby was prominent at Buckley's National Review. Bozell's son took over (disinfo outlet) A.I.M. from Reid Irving and Bozell, III. was a founder of Ruddy's Newsmax.
Buckley hosted the founding meeting of the Y.A.F. at his Sharon, CT, home.

McCarthy and His Enemies, 1954
"In 1951, Buckley's first book,
God and Man at Yale, was published. The book was written in Hamden, Connecticut, (also borders Chamberlain's Cheshire, CT) .. the work argued that the school (Yale) had strayed from its original educational mission. Critics claimed the work miscast the role of academic freedom. Buckley himself credited the attention the book received in the media
to the "Introduction" written by John Chamberlain, saying that it "chang[ed] the course of his life" and that the famous
Life magazine magazine editorial writer had acted out of "reckless generosity." .."
