Tea Party has ties to the American Third Position party.
I came across this article from 2010 about the American Third Position party, which is a Fascist white-supremacist party, and it mentioned they are building ties with the Tea Party. I just thought it would be of interest to some of you. Full story: http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/groups/american-third-position

With this group of white nationalist leaders assembled, the party is now seeking active dues-paying members and recruiting voters to register as members of the party for the 2010 California elections. Johnson plans to target a number of different groups in order to assemble the party’s base. He developed contacts with Republicans and libertarians who supported Ron Paul during the 2008 U.S. presidential election, holding a $2,000-a-plate fundraiser for Paul’s campaign in September 2007. In a July 1, 2010, Internet radio broadcast, Kelso said: “There’s a great overlap in Patriot activities and Patriot causes, and we have, we will have a big effect on this much larger movement, the Ron Paul Revolution, that has millions of people engaged … we’ll be pulling them from the right.” The A3P also has shown up at Tea Party rallies to try to fulfill this goal.
