On November 27, 2013, the Rochester [MN] Tea Party Patriots used its Facebook page to share Judge Finds German Woman Guilty of Raping Eight Pakistani Muslim Men, an April 22, 2013 article from the Diversity Chronicle, along with a long headnote.
Unfortunately for the gullible Rochester liberty lovers and Islamphobes, somebody forgot to check Diversity Chronicle's disclaimer or check sites like Australia's Hoax-Slayer.
Or The Blaze's explanation of an earlier conservative Facebook sensation from Diversity Chronicle: it's a satire site.
Nope, the Rochester Tea Party Patriots jumpy on the truthiness of the months-old piece since they seem to be of the School of "Anything Scary About Muslims Must Be True," especially if it's illustrated by a stock photo of angry Muslim-looking dudes.
Hoax-Slayer drily notes of the accompanying photo:

It is very clear that she was attempting wrongly and as the harlot to engage in the seduction game. In fact it is she who is the rapist in this case seducing men who were unable to withstand the lure of her indecency, corrupting good and devout Muslim men luring them into the sin of fornication through her gaze and uncovered state.” The eight men of Pakistani origin range in age from 18-35 and were released by authorities immediately after the ruling

Be afraid. Be very afraid. It's always scary to see how people react to the Real Fake News.
