White supremacists plan to run candidates nationwide in 2010 election
The co-founder of the American Third Position (ATP), white supremacist Los Angeles lawyer William Daniel Johnson, says his new California-based group plans to run as many candidates for political office around the country as it can muster.

In an interview with Hatewatch last week, Johnson said that he intended to qualify “high-level people,” meaning prominent white nationalists, for campaigns on the ATP ticket in a large number of states. He did not elaborate on what states or offices, or precisely when, but said that that would be decided in coming months.

ATP was created last October. It was reportedly brought together by members of Freedom 14, a racist skinhead group in Orange County, Calif., who initially formed a group called the Golden State Party to run candidates. But that group collapsed when reports surfaced about the criminal past of its leader, and so the Freedom 14 members decided to create a replacement group — the American Third Position.

For his part, Johnson is a long-time racist activist. In 1985, he wrote a book under the pseudonym James O. Pace called Amendment to the Constitution. It proposed a constitutional amendment to repeal the 14th and 15th amendments (respectively, making freed slaves citizens, and prohibiting the denial of the right to vote based on race) and replace them with the “Pace Amendment.” That amendment would only have allowed whites “in whom there is no discernible trace of Negro blood” to be U.S. citizens. Hispanic whites, Johnson added in a generous moment, might also be granted citizenship, but only if their “appearance (is) indistinguishable from Americans whose ancestral home is in the British Isles or Northwestern Europe.”

No doubt these racists will run on fuel from the tea party insanity.

3. Good! Get it all out in the open, drop all the bullshit code talk, etc.
I feel more comfortable with tools like that being public about their attitudes than quietly letting it fester out of sight until they do god only knows what.

5. The Tea "Party" is nothing more then Klansmen without the sheets
but they have to listen to the alcoholic glen beck who has never done anything for our country to know what to think and when to scream and shout and make asses of themselves.

White Supremacists, along with ignorance, another result of conservative values.
