A tea party leader in Texas is defending his promotion of the American Fascist Party as something he thought was “pro-Constitution, pro-America.”James Ives, who was listed as the president of the Greater Fort Bend County Tea Party in 2011,confirmed to The Texas Tribune on Monday that he had made a promotional video for the American Fascist Party and advocated tea party principles on a Fascist Party message board.
In the video, a man who looks like Ives sits in front of a Fascist Party logo wearing a uniform with yellow shoulder patches. Another photo shows a uniformed man sitting in front of a fascist cross. The blog that inspired Norwegian mass shooter Anders Behring Breivik describes fascist solar crosses as “symbolic representations buried deep in the regions of the brain where the primal responses to stimuli are rage, awe, and fear.”

“From my point of view, it was all pro-Constitution, pro-America,” Ives explained to the Tribune.

Come one and all to the AFP! Reminds me of "freedom is slavery, war is peace, ignorance is strength." Start at the tea party you end up a fascist more and more right you go
 
It was only a matter of time before the tea party freaks showed their true brownshirted colors.
 
At least it is some tyruth in advertising instead of pretending they are libertarians simply because they want to own a gun.
 
Completely irrelevant, but this makes me want to post one of my favorite metal songs.



Don't look at me as if I didn't know
Your vanity is all you ever show
What you believe and advocate
Fanatic dogma recycled from yesterday

Got a master plan
Genocide
Can't understand
People of the lie

You are to me the waste of flesh and blood
I'd love to see you buried in the mud
And when you die no one will shed a tear
So pass me by don't need your hatred here

Got a master plan
Genocide
Can't understand
People of the lie

Prejudice, intolerance, eye for an eye

You cannot hide behind those empty claims
Your racist pride is nothing but a game
And you will lose for right is on the side
Of those who choose to fight for humankind

Got a master plan
Genocide
Can't understand
People of the lie

You can't believe
Don't be deceived
 
The fun part is the folks who will still say fascism is a left-wing ideology. Because Nazi is short for national socialist workers party!

Yes, and North Korea calls itself the People's Democratic Republic of Korea.

They have a deomcratically elected parliament, but I'm sure you didn't know that.
 
Here's Robert Thurston. He's a professor at Miami University, and he writes a lot about supporting Stalin. It's about time you crypto-Stalinists, AKA Democrats, finally show us who you really are!

"But... but, DrunkenAsparagus, that's just some left-wing academic who is, at best, a very minor figure in the Left!"

So what you're saying is that some third-rate activists or academic or whatever doesn't paint a representative sample of the wider political movement?

Deflection -- the last bastion of another tea partier losing another argument defending the odious statements of other tea partiers.
 
So you condemn all tea partiers for the statements and misguided beliefs of one? So the obama is a commie right? And you too!

Yes, I've been hiding my Fascism behind the the label of "libertarian" for years. Its not as if my stated views here are diametrically opposed to fascism.:roll:

I'm not defending his statements; although I don't see anything particularly wrong with being a fascist as long as you aren't promoting ethnic cleansing or anything of that sort. I think you're wrong, but not necessarily a terrible person. I'm just pointing out that the implied connection between him and anyone in the Tea Party is laughable bull****.
