Line 107:

In [[Louisiana]], [[Ned Touchstone]], a Wallace supporter, edited a conservative newsletter, ''The Councilor,'' through which means he attacked liberals in both major parties. ''The Councilor'' was the publication of the White Citizens' Council. In 1967, Touchstone ran unsuccessfully as a Democrat against Louisiana Education Superintendent [[Bill Dodd]], who carried the support of party moderates, liberals, and African Americans.

===Tea Party Movement===

Recent scholarship tends to place the [[Tea Party Movement]] within the tradition of the radical right. Opposition to the Obama administration is seen as motivated by fear and racism, focusing on issues such as immigration, terrorism, same sex marriage, abortion and an African-American president. [[Chip Berlet]] has described it as "the type of right-wing populist movement seen throughout U.S. history".<ref>Courser</ref>
