When Stephanie Got Her Facts Wrong (Australia)

[brooklynite]

Sydney Morning Herald:

Is it halal, haram or Koran?

Just don't ask Stephanie Banister, an anti-immigration candidate vying for the Brisbane seat of Rankin in the upcoming election.

The 27-year-old ''poster child'' of the [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Nation_(Australia)|One Nation] movement did her campaign no favours in an interview with Channel Seven on Wednesday night, mistaking Islam for a country, confusing haram with Koran and drawing a blank on the nationwide disability scheme.

She also advocates a ban on halal food but said similar dietary guidelines for followers of Judaism, known as kosher, were permissible because ''Jews follow Jesus Christ''.

Perhaps we could export some of our Tea Party evangelicals? I think they'd feel right at home.

1. Wow

The quality and extent of her ignorance is astounding.

2. Which came first, her religion, or her stupidity

Did she get religious because she's stupid? Or did her religion make her stupid. She should get a job working for Louie Gohmert.

4. Watch this spot........

The next thing you know Stephanie Banister will be giving a speech where she contends that "she's not a witch".
Somehow I take little comfort knowing that other countries got 'em too.

Ya it's an oldy but Stephanie Banister this ones for you.......

Drat, they even look like they could be twins!
