Is Tom Tancredo a fascist?

[Colin]

No he's not a fascist, usually fascists have an economically left-wing bent to them, although this is not completely the case Allianza Nacionale and Vlaams Belang are economically to the right, but he doesn't have the corporatists spirit of a true fascist. While I would have to say that he is quite Le Pen-esque in his anti-immigration rhetoric he doesn't have the wanton disregard of democracy that is a hallmark of fascism.

I also don't think he'd be a BNP supporter. He'd most likely lie in the Euroskeptic/anti-immigration wing of the Tories or he may possibly be a UKIPper.

Tancredo fits the definition of a fascist, yes. If he was in Europe, he'd be in the BNP or Le Pen's party.

To be honest he would be a neo-Fascism or typical of the European far-Right. He'd most likely be a UKIPer than a member of the BNP but I could easily see him fitting into Front National or the Freedom Party of Austria or Vlaams Belang. Anti-immigration, socially conservative, economically centre-right but doesn't really care about it that much, he basically is an American example of the European far-right.
