Tell me, is she auditioning for the Real Wives of Racism and Religious Bigotry? Not the brightest, but she sure fits the look (as in cheap!)
This walking piece of excrement should be shunned - completely and utterly. No coverage, no responses, no attention whatsoeverâŚ
How many tens of thousands of innocent people did the Civilized Men of this country kill and maim in GWBâs Iraq war?
Civilized.
You got it Doc!
Although, if more people understood that, it could be the death of 24x7 cable ânewsâ - not that that is necessarily a bad thing.
Yeah, she got the âiâm the real victim hereâ in even before she used the âreal racistâ attack. I thought Hannity had that trademarked.
I am not sure I see these parallels to 1968 you keep speaking about. In 1968 we were involved in Vietnam and the movement to get us out of that war was gaining steam, with protests against the war on the rise. The baby boomers were coming of age and starting to see what they could do in the political realm.
I see no such protests clamoring for a drawn down on American adventurismâŚcertainly not the level of protests surrounding Vietnam. If anything, the MIC seems to be plugging along rather solidly in demonizing ISIS as the excuse for their next adventure into the Middle East. Polling suggests that the public, on both sides of the aisle, still has very little stomach for it, but the MIC still continues the drip drip drip of the campaign to change that.
And the baby boomers are well aware of their influence today. The focus is not upon not getting drafted for a war, but rather on ensuring that the government keeps their hands off their Medicare, while dismissing millennials as too self absorbed and not involved enough to be of any consequence (rather ironic, IMO).
So no, I really donât see the parallels to 1968. Even the music was better then.
Pamela Geller = Yin, CNN = Yang
One of the more regrettable predictions ever is that the end of mankind will almost surely be the result of religious war. The irony is too much. Huge groups of primates, each believing thereâs an invisible being in the heavens, will literally destroy each other to prove that their superstition is the only real one. If there is a god, itâs truly dark-humored. To this non-existent deity, mankindâs earth is like an ant farm; just a play pretty and a weird experiment. But rather than us âantsâ working together and admitting that weâre alone here on this tiny planet, trying to make the best of a really weird existence, we invent insane stories of spirit gods who run the universal machinery. Then, in order to justify our atrocities, we claim that our bigotry and hatred is divineâŚso thereâŚour god says itâs ok to kill you if you do (or donât do) so and so! If weâre going to destroy ourselves, better to do it over something substantive rather than the primitive, fear-based superstitions that race around in our feeble, fevered minds.

Iâ've read all the comments posted so far, and everyone seems to just want to attack Pamela Geller and not address what happened. So she scheduled this âCartoon Contest of the Prophetâ. So it was done in reaction to a âStand Up for the Prophetâ event held at the same venue a few months ago. So a grand total of 200 people attended. So what? So itâs a free country. If 200 people want to go to this thing, so let them. Free speech does not mean you are free NOT to be offended. So if it is not your cup of tea, donât go to it.
But then the interesting part. Two armed gunmen, complete with body armor, come to the event with the ostensible intent of shooting attendees, security, or both.
That is not what is supposed to happen in a free country! Fred Phelps was despicable, but at least no one tried to shoot him or his handful of followers.
The problem is radicalized muslims who see red and go ballistic when their prophet is dissed. We canât just shut down free speech to keep these people from over-reacting. That is the issue, not the character and motivations of Ms. Geller.
Geller: âAlisyn, you sound very Islamaphobic.â Typical right-wing, nut-job, up-is-down-down-is-up response. Shed light on racism and they tag you a racist. Point out Islamaphobia and they call an Islamaphobe.

What I always find bemusing with these paranoid loons who screech about âcreeping Sharia lawâ is that religious courts and mediation in the United States is actually quite common, and goes back throughout our nationâs entire history, and is wholly noncontroversial. As long as it is Christian religious courts and mediation and not Islamic that is.

While you claimed to have read all the comments so far, from the content of your statement that nobody has talked about âthe issueâ as you want to put it, I question the veracity of your claim.

Yes. Several Republicans would do just that, in a heartbeat. More than that, though, is that Republicans are vilifying Islam just like Hitler did to Jews in the 1930s. Thatâs the direct parallel i was making.
I donât think so. Fred Phelps (and some family) are sui generis in hateful stylings. Pamela Geller, on the other hand, is a particularly obnoxious representative of a worldview that is expressed by many and shared by many more. If she had more couth, sheâd be Bibi; as she is now, she could be a member of his governing coalition.

Who knows? Perhaps she is funded by the American taxpayer via redirected foreign aid payments.
or antisemitic, or self-loathing
The irony in this is that Pam Geller looks a bit⌠swarthy. (wry grin)

Actually she scored something like 4 millions when she divorced her last husband and then he died within the year and she scored another 5 millions from a life insurance policy. Sheâs got enough to keep her going anf going.
What exactly is her bitch? Sheâs the one who was all over the airwaves claiming all sorts of crap about an Islamic Center to be build around the corner from the former site of the World Trade Center ⌠and yet when people take offense at her hatred and vitriol, itâs an âattackâ on her free speech.
The woman is a vile bitch, pure and simple.
