GOP Lawmakers Accuse Muslim Advocacy Group CAIR of Planting Spies on Capitol Hill

Four House Republicans on Wednesday accused the nation's largest Muslim advocacy group of trying to "infiltrate" Capitol Hill by placing interns in the offices of lawmakers who handle national security issues.

The four lawmakers, members of the anti-terror caucus, asked for an investigation into the Council on American Islamic Relations after discovering an internal memo noting the group's strategy. They also highlighted a new book by Paul Sperry titled "Muslim Mafia," scheduled for release on Thursday, which claims the group has been actively infiltrating Congress.

Reps. Sue Myrick of North Carolina, Trent Franks of Arizona, Paul Broun of Georgia and John Shadegg of Arizona asked the Internal Revenue Service to determine whether CAIR deserves its nonprofit status. They also are asking their colleagues to review a summary of findings that led the Justice Department to name CAIR as a co-conspirator in a terrorism case.

So much for all the time spent at tea parties to dump Congress....(just kidding)....but it’ll take something horrible to make them take off their Capitol Hill blinders that are from lobbyists stuffing euros in their pockets by the handfulls.

Just so you know.

Here is a story link from The Hill.com:

House Republicans accuse Muslim group of trying to plant spies

I tried to 'google' the story. It shows up on a Fox link, but it also returns an 'Error Page' message. Strange days, eh?

Something is going on with the website. I went directly to Fox News then the link and it took me to some story about 5 months ago.
