Hunter taps like-minded conservatives in S.C. to lead campaign By SEANNA ADCOX, Published Thursday, February 22, 2007
...Hunter also named former state Rep. Tom Marchant and Dr. Henry Jordan campaign co-chairmen. Jordan made headlines nearly a decade ago for his disparaging comments about Muslims and Buddhists.
The former state school board member in 1997 crudely dismissed the two groups during a school board meeting for their likely opposition to posting the Ten Commandments in schools, saying "screw the Buddhists and kill the Muslims."
He apologized for his remarks then and said Thursday only the media remembers the comment.
An unsuccessful candidate for lieutenant governor both in 1996 and last year, Jordan said in May that science does not support Darwin's theory that man evolved from monkeys. He said students should learn "intelligent design" along with evolution.
"I mean you've got to be stupid to believe in evolution, I mean really," he told The Associated Press then.
Duncan called Jordan "a great, conservative Republican leader" who agrees with him on strengthening the border, national defense and protecting jobs from going overseas.
Duncan said he did not know about Jordan's comments.

You shouldn't write your own headlines...
Do not change the title. You can editorialize in your comments.
Don't alter titles.
Thanks.
;~)
I don't know. Everyone is talking about him though:')
..Ann Coulter called him "magnificent" on FNC today...
OOPS. You have two mods on yout tail now:')
Very well, here's the editorial bit, then:
It's amazing that an author and news service that on most days barely mentions Hunter's campaign goes to such detail over 10 year old comments from one of the prospective state chairmen for the campaign.
One might think the article was written just to bring up this tired old story.
It means their ears have perked up. Last week they were just ignoring him.
They are towing the media line again I see.
I didnt see a negative in this article, even though im sure it was meant that way;)
do you have a link to the rudybot post?
OUCH BTTT!
:)
BTW, I stole the smileys.
Thanks!
If Duncan Hunter is not the Republican Party nominee in '08',I am done with the Republican Party.
FNC? That rightwingnutcase place? They only have about 50 viewers at a time, right?
