Hunter taps right-wing advisers.Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) yesterday named the South Carolina advisers to his presidential campaign. One of them, Lois Eargle, boasted about her hard-line views on immigration, explaining that when “an illegal immigrant with three children came to her office this week asking for free legal help for an abused child,” she told the immigrant to “get back to Mexico.” Another Hunter adviser, Dr. Henry Jordan, declared last year, “I mean you’ve got to be stupid to believe in evolution, I mean really.”

At a news conference at the Statehouse, Horry County Auditor Lois Eargle talked up her hard-line stance on illegal immigrants.

The former county GOP chairwoman said an illegal immigrant with three children came to her office this week asking for free legal help for an abused child.

"I told her the best thing for her to do was to get back to Mexico," Eargle said.

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.

Duncan said he did not know about Jordan's comments.

That's it. No further explanation. Apparently Dr. Jordan has no confidence that he'd have a chance of being endorsed when he's running against Andre Bauer. I don't know what precipitated such a crisis of confidence. I can't remember us writing anything about Dr. Jordan recently. And it's hard to imagine that a guy would worry about, say, being misquoted when he's best known for having said, as a member of the state school board, "Screw the Buddhists and kill the Muslims. And put that in the minutes."
