Related: About this forumHouston-Area Tea Party Leader Had Ties to Fascist Party
http://www.texastribune.org/2013/03/18/houston-area-tea-party-leader-had-ties-fascist-par/As recently as 2003, the president of the Greater Fort Bend County Tea Party had a very different title: director of propaganda for the American Fascist Party.
James Ives, a prominent Tea Party activist who has hosted statewide rallies and political debates and has been a regular contributor on conservative radio, was the AFP's fourth in command, commenting about the partys principles on a fascist message board. An image of Ives in what appears to be a black uniform with yellow shoulder patches can be seen in a 2006 promotional video for the party.

Saw this on Texas Tribune and just had to post it. The state is full of RWNJs. I guess this one might bite the dust?
