Related: About this forumGreg Abbott campaigns with raging homophobe Chuck Norris
Anti-gay bigot Chuck Norris is set to endorse Republican Greg Abbott for governor in San Antonio today, the Express-News reports:
Texas-bred actor Chuck Norris, known for his role as TVs Walker, Texas Ranger, will be in San Antonio on Wednesday for a joint appearance with Abbott.
Early voting is underway for the Nov. 4 election as Abbott battles Democrat Wendy Davis for the states top office.
With a goal of getting out the vote, Abbott and Norris will be at Casa Rio Restaurant downtown for the midday event, which will also draw Texas GOP Chairman Steve Munisteri, according to Abbotts campaign.

Two years ago, Norris came out in support of the Boy Scouts anti-gay policies, suggesting a conspiracy to overturn them between the Obama administration and BSA board member James Turley.
Is it a coincidence that a couple of months ago, Obama reversed his position on marriage, extending the union to gay couples, and that Turley just came out of the closet in his position against the BSAs position? Norris wrote for Ammoland.com. Is it a coincidence that in the same few weeks when Turley turned on the BSA with his pro-gay stance, Obama turned on the U.S. military and sent down a decree that the service branches must celebrate Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month? Is it a coincidence that Turley is in tight cahoots with the White House and that he is the only BSA national board member in 100 years to oppose its pro-traditional family stance?
In 2011, Norris penned a piece for the American Family Association, an anti-gay hate group, falsely alleging that Obama planned to force military chaplains to perform same-sex weddings. Norris also wrote that, Secretary Hillary Clinton demonizes other countries religious beliefs as an obstacle to radical homosexual rights. Clinton had recently delivered a speech to the U.N. in which she criticized countries that incarcerate, torture and execute LGBT people.

(28,254 posts)1. Norris makes a good match with Abbott's other pal, Ted Nugent.
These hyper-macho gun freaks always seem to be compensating for something, don't they? How pathetic that Abbott feels compelled to be associated with such knuckle-draggers.

The hateful patriarchal narcissistic misogynist part human, part machine monster, is described as having eight legs and eight arms made from the arms and legs of Abbott, Nugent, Norris and a wheel chair.
