Talk about "reaching way too hard."
I think you are referring to the left-wing fanatics with Lyndon LaRouche, who joined the TEA party events so they could parade around their signs and posters

Wow, there sure were a LOT of LaRouchies there then. If you take all of them out, there's not much left to the Tea Party. I guess it's even smaller and more ineffectual than previously thought.

You've been conned, or you're too damned stupid to discern the difference. Fascists are extreme nationalists whereas Communists believe in a worldwide revolution of workers irrespective of nationalism. They represent the extremes of the political spectrum. Something you should be most familiar with.

That's spot on the mark.

Leftist plants, because they couldn't find any evidence that the Tea Party is actually racist :

Sorry, no. You've been conned. Fascism is more closely related to socialism, which is a leftist belief. Read the historical European references and quotes:

Research the quotes yourself if you don't believe it.

Yeah, wanting the government to stop being so wasteful with OUR money sure is the pinnacle of ignorance.

You and your ilk have been brainwashed so marvelously well by those whose thoughts and ideas you've adopted, I'm not sure you could see reality even if all those liars were removed from your environment completely.

The TEA Party movement is pretty much NONE of the things that you and yours say it is, every day, right here on this forum. Every time you post a falsehood, you're corrected, yet you never seem to learn. Who's the ignorant one here?

When Obama plays the crony capitalist, and throws hundreds of billions to corporations, the left loves it. When he plays the dictator with his pen and phone, they love that too. When his IRS or EPA single out to punish the people and activities they don't like, the left loves it.

The American left love the governments of people like Castro and Chavez. Communism, socialism and fascism just kind mix and meld into a tyrant's dream of control and domination.

And then they'd call you a Democrat!
