Among the, er, distinguished (distinguished by what?) punditastical correspondents at the WorldNutsDaily, HQ of Birtherism, there are several standouts . . . In fact, they're all standouts at a webzine where the production of Obama's long-form birth certificate "opens up more questions than it answers", according to Editor-in-Chief Josef Farah. (Might I propose that those Birthers who forge on regardless be hereinafter referred to as the Afterbirthers?)

Unfortunately, Norris's latest islamophobic outburst, "Top 10 U.S. Shariah Infiltrations, Part 2", has attracted the attention of Wonkette's Jack Stuef. Not only is the ignorant hatemongering as obnoxious as you might expect, Norris has, oh dear, lifted it from elsewhere. And not with lots of subtle rewording, either.

Here's one of Stuef's several examples (with appropriate highlighting by me). Norris:

In 2010, a New Jersey family court judge’s refused to grant a restraining order to a woman who was sexually abused by her Moroccan husband and forced repeatedly to have sex with him, ruling that the Muslim husband did not have “criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault”

Or, as the FOX News website put it in its August 5 2010 article "Advocates of Anti-Shariah Measures Alarmed by Judge's Ruling":

A New Jersey family court judge’s decision not to grant a restraining order to a woman who was sexually abused by her Moroccan husband and forced repeatedly to have sex with him [...] he did not have “criminal desire to or intent to sexually assault”

Plagiarism aside, if you feel that Mel Gibson isn't quite vile enough for you to boycott his movies, you might want to think about Chuck Norris instead. Stupid, yes: that's what you expect from anyone who thinks any problem can be solved by kicking someone in the head. But the sheer venom and racism of his public hatemongering go 'way beyond that.
