California Rep. Darrell Issa, who asked Twitter followers Friday to tweet photos of their family members in the U.S. military, was duped into retweeting support for some of history’s most notorious killers.

A Twitter user by the name @BrooklynJuggler trolled the Republican into retweeting a photo of his dear “Uncle Lee,” which was really a photo of Lee Harvey Oswald, the former Marine believed to have assassinated President John F. Kennedy, The Daily Dot reported.

Another user by the name @Butt_C_Planet tricked Mr. Issa into retweeting a photo of his “late grandfather,” which was actually a photo of Heinrich Himmler, a leading member of Hitler’s Nazi Party.

@Butt_C_Planet?

Could it be that Issa opposes same-sex marriage?

DANG!

Which is why any public figure says on his Twitter feed that “RTs are not endorsements”.

Probably that dumbarse writer for Salon who is jealous of the military being treated as heroes.

Where is the pic of Issa's Trophy Wall after 6 years of spending on investigations and oversight?

Bammy's minions are as pure as the Polar Vortex driven snow?

Those tweeters are probably DemocRATS. They may very well be related to Himmler and Oswald and are proud of them.

Reminds me of a scene from a TV show called The Office. One of the characters, a total dweeb named Dwight says, "My grandfather was a WWII hero. He single-handedly wiped out an entire machine gun nest before he was captured and spent the rest of the war in an Allied POW camp."

Stupid libs, all I can say is that they take after their cry-baby “dear leader” and can’t really win an argument so they resort to childish trolling.

I think it's safe to assume that Tea Partiers and not even RINOs would insult our men and women in uniform with such a childish stunt.

So I wonder what political preference these turds hold.

Hilarious, because Issa is such a pathetic phony.

And this is why I don’t tweet, retweet, twitter, text, or FB.

FR is my one vice on the Internet. But I’m on there a LOT! LOL!

You’d think that after losing an election in such an epic proportion that the Democrat Party would try to cut down on the adolescent antics and cheap shots that helped them lose and seriously reflect on what’s the best way forward..., but no, they plan to keep it up through 2016.... when they lose again.

It isn’t really a “trick” to lie to someone who has said they’d retweet anything you sent them.

Meanwhile, President Ebola had a Chairman Mao Christmas tree ornament, his last White House Spokesman literally decorated his home with Communist propaganda...

FRiend, you are not alone!

It is a little difficult for me, as i am the Director of Music and member of the board at my church, which communicates all its events by FB. I have to be very careful to keep my own lines of communication open (those funky, avuncular, obsolete things called telephones and email!) to schedule band rehearsals, special events, emergency cancellations, etc.

But it’s worth the effort on my part! Hallelujah! :-)
