Republican National Committeewoman Tamara Scott shared her concerns on her weekly web show Thursday that child immigrants may be "highly trained as warriors" who could pose a threat to the U.S.

The Iowa conservative activist shared her concerns with her guest, tea partier Mary Huls.

"When we see these kids, you and I think young kids, we think maybe 12-year-olds, maybe even homeschoolers — or excuse me, middle schoolers," Scott said. "But we know back in our revolution, we had 12-year-olds fighting in our revolution and for many of these kids, depending on where they're coming from, they could be coming from other countries and be highly trained as warriors who will meet up with their group here and actually rise up against us as Americans. We have no idea what's coming through our borders but I would say biblically it's not a Christian nation when you entice people to do wrong."

Scott's guest echoed her concerns, affirming that children are receiving warrior training.

"We do know that Hamas and — I'm sorry Hezbollah fund several training camps in Venezuela and other South American countries and they are training these young, these youths, beginning as early as eight or nine years through the MS-13 gangs but they are being trained as warriors," Huls said. "You’re absolutely right."

1. it's actually the other way around

immigrants are getting trained by American gangs and going back and causing mayhem in their home countries.

2. I've always been afraid of 12-year-old homeschoolers....

[Mike Daniels]

3. Does the GOP now have a competition to see which "leader" can say the stupidest thing?

When does the national party finally call out some of this idiocy (even if just for show)?

[HooptieWagon]

6. Apparently they do.

No matter how low they set the bar, there's a line waiting to go under.

5. WTF?

[0rganism]

7. makes me wonder if/when the wingers will start to grasp how fake so many of their fears really are

i keep thinking this stupid crazy fake bullshit can only sell for so long. even if it appeals to their latent xenophobia and racism, perhaps at some point they'll come to understand that they're being played

8. Cheese and Rice! Do these repukes ever make any sense? Channeling Sarah Palin, this one is.

9. You can say such things at any Republican committee meeting and no one even blinks.

On rare occasions someone with a cell phone camera or with a little conscience reports it in the news.

10. Is there anything that Republicans are NOT afraid of? -nt

[Cali_Democrat]

11. Well...they're certainly afraid of...

European Socialists
Child immigrants from Central America
Arabs
Muslims
Blacks
Canadians
Mexicans


I think the only people they're not afraid of are Israelis. This is because the Israelis oppress the Palestinians and it earns them extra points in their eyes.

12. add women and gays to the list.

they quite afraid of them, also.

[Cali_Democrat]

13. Ya...the list is just so long. nt

14. Just by coincidence Rick Perry sings the same dire warning...........

Islamic State terrorists could have already crossed US border - Rick Perry

Texas Gov. Rick Perry sounded the alarm on Thursday over the “very real possibility” that terrorists associated with the Islamic State and other extremist groups have already snuck into the United States via its border with Mexico.

In a speech to the Heritage Foundation in Washington, DC, the former presidential candidate – and potential 2016 contender – said that quick action needs to be taken in order to prevent terrorists from entering the US. Since border security is already lax, he argued, “individuals from ISIS or other terrorist states” could already be within the country’s borders.

Will this make it into the "top 10" on the GOP's "message of the day" hit parade?

Note: RT was somewhat more coherent on this in addition to not having screaming video adds.
