Here is the sixty-third article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s honoree is Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA). He is so honored for fear mongering with one of the most absurd conspiracy theories to date.

GOPHatThe Department of Homeland Security flatly denied on Wednesday a claim from a California Congressman that the ISIS terror army is quietly slipping into the United States through its porous southern border – and that American border patrol agents have already captured ten of its soldiers.

Republican Duncan Hunter told a Fox News Channel audience on Tuesday that ISIS, the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, is actively infiltrating the U.S.

‘I know that at least ten ISIS fighters have been caught coming across the Mexican border in Texas,’ he said. ‘There’s nobody talking about it.’

But DHS fired back, saying in a statement that Hunter’s claim is ‘categorically false.’

‘The suggestion that individuals who have ties to ISIL have been apprehended at the Southwest border is categorically false, and not supported by any credible intelligence or the facts on the ground,’ a Homeland Security spokesman said in a statement, using the administration’s preferred alternative acronym for the group… [emphasis added]

Rachel Maddow has all the details and covered the story on Debunktion Junction.

Those who cannot access MSNBC video can watch this clip at YouTube.

When this Republican wakes up in the morning, his rooster crows Whack-a-doodle-doo!!

I’ve had my eye on this nutcase for a long time.  In 2010, I wrote about his proposal to deport natural born American citizens, Constitution be damned.  Also in 2010, I wrote about CREW’s lawsuit of the FEC Republicans for refusing to take action against Duncan, even though they admitted he had violated campaign finance laws.

Duncan needs to be paraded to the unemployment office.

  1. Debunktion Junction is one of my favorite segments on Rachel's show. Duncan has definitely earned his prize as a Republican on Parade this week. The voices in his head are obviously giving him his misinformation

  2. Thanks TC – love the 'Insert Republican here' cartoon!  Glad Rachel Maddow has focussed on Duncan Hunter's lies – what a piece of work he is!

  3. But – but – he doesn't have "Rick" or "Scott" in his name – or even "Walker."  Well.  I guess he doesn't have to in order to think he can get away with anything.  Those are just little red flags, they don't cover everything.

  4. Duncan is the lower side of a cow chip, but Inhofe (R-OK) is a very close second!! And coming in third is our last lady, Mary Fallin (R-OK), governor. I agree that the campaign finance stuff and the lying are stuff to be removed for, our venerable Senator and Governor are so , so ignorant that it would take a very LARGE earthquake to wake them up! And we have them near-daily here in Oklahoma!
    They all play up to the fears that creep into the thoughts of our poor and rich in the night, when no one is there to tell them it was all hype and no substance!
    The Fux Spews network only gets more viewers when they spew more terror and keep their viewers in a constant state of absolute TERROR!

  5. He is a Republican, nuff said.  He wouldn't know the truth if it hit him in the face, one of my grandmother's favorite quotes.

  6. Rachel certainly was having difficulty not breaking out into hysterical laughter with this guy.

    I would think that there is a greater likelihood of ISIL related attacks from home grown Muslim terrorists (those holding US passports and having gone overseas to fight with ISIL only to return to their families in the US) than terrorists coming across the southern border.  

    Having said that, this week there was a story on our news about a group planning a "knife and gun" attack at an unidentified shopping mall here in Canada.  CSIS intercepted this very early before much of the planning was done.  Here's the link: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/isis-threat-to-canada-not-imminent-but-real-csis-director-warns-1.2792121

    And speaking of ISIL, Bill Maher was deemed Asshole of the Day for 10/10/14 for blaming an entire religion of over a billion people for the actions and intolerance of a small portion.  http://assholeoftheday.us/tagged/asshole-of-the-day

  7. Thanks all. Something volunteer related came up, so I'm running late again.  Maher deserved that award.
