Four House Republicans are accusing a Muslim advocacy group of trying to plant spies.

Republican members of the Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus say the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), tried to plant “spies” within key national security committees to shape legislative policy in its favor.

Reps. Sue Myrick (R-N.C.), John Shadegg (R-Ariz.), Paul Broun (R-Ga.) and Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), citing the recently released book Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that's Conspiring to Islamize America, called for the House sergeant at arms to investigate whether CAIR had been successful in placing interns on key committees. The lawmakers are specifically focused on the House Homeland Security Committee, Intelligence Committee and Judiciary Committee.

“If an organization is connected to or supports terrorists is running influence operations or planting spies in key national security-related offices I think this needs to be made known,” Broun said. “So I join my colleagues here today in calling for action.”

The book, which was written by P. David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry with a forward by Myrick, is scheduled to be released Thursday.

1. kick. I think this is an important story.

2. What in the world has happened to the sanity of the GOP? To believe a man who

is part of SANE (Society of Americans for National Existence) that wants to track and prosecute Muslims. A man who claimed to have found Saddam's WMD bunkers in 2007!

3. They need a scapegoat to unify their party against.

It's worked for them in the past.

5. They absolutely must have a bogeyman.

Paranoia is their platform. Jumping at shadows is their way of life. "Home of the Brave" indeed.

7. You are so right, Rep. Broun!

I have it on good authority that an organization that supports terrorists is running influence operations and planting spies in national security-related offices. Several card-carrying Republicans have infiltrated our government at the highest levels in a conspiracy so immense that it boggles the mind. They must be found and thrown out immediately! These are people who practice terrorism, endorse torture, and execute the innocent all over this country.

God, these people are yammering weaklings. And The Hill is so very helpful to carry their water.
