Long shot candidate Duncan Hunter dropped two supporters as honorary campaign chairs because of hateful remarks:
Lois Eargle felt the sting of the political whip this week when she was one of two people cut from a presidential campaign for making unpopular remarks.Eargle, the Horry County auditor, knows she'll be taking the lashes for a long time just by looking at the fate of the other person dropped by the Duncan Hunter campaign - Henry Jordan, whose words have stuck with him for a decade.
"I guess, darling, just to put it in a nutshell, that's politics," she said.
Ten years ago during a school board meeting, former board member Jordan said "Screw the Buddhists and kill the Muslims," adding, "And put that in the minutes." He said it was a joke.
Last week, Eargle said she told a woman looking for free legal help for her abused child "to get back to Mexico."
The campaign took the pair off its list of a fistful of state co-chairs - honorary titles for regional supporters - because it feared the increasing scrutiny from bloggers and media, said Ron Tyler, Hunter's spokesman.
I thought this was the telling line:
Jordan said Hunter had told him some bloggers in California had already begun bringing up his infamous remarks.
Interestingly, Hunter is noted for his tough stance on Mexican immigration.http://en.wikipedia....
I couldn't find any interesting pictures of Duncan Hunter so I thought I'd post this one of a drunken hunter.
