Americans for Prosperity, a 501(c)4, is actually one of two groups co-founded by Koch. The other, the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, is a 501(c)3.

As if turns out, Tim Phillips, President of the Tea Party group Americans for Prosperity, spoke at a Progress Party event in 2010. According to an article published in the Norweigen paper Aftenposten on April 24th, 2010:

Phillips was invited by the Progress Party leadership to talk about grassroots organizing. But he talked mostly about how his organization is fighting for a weaker central government and lower taxes, to health reform and climate change.

Moreover, he spoke regularly Democrats in the U.S. as the "left side".

1. This is the kind of thing that made the joker think he had a worldwide organization

It's the kind of thing that gives these idiots permission to act out.

It's the kind of thing that is the greatest threat to democracy.

Democracies have always been overthrown by the right, never the left. There are no historical exceptions.

IREHR reported late Friday evening that "New evidence has surfaced indicating that Breivik appears to be a fan of the Tea Party's favorite Islamophobe, Pamela Geller. The website Little Green Footballs reports that he's been posting links to Geller's website Atlas Shrugged since at least 2009."
