Savaged For Daring To Name Savagery: Pamela Geller Attacked by Critics of Free Speech
The Jewish Press ^ | September 24, 2012 | Lori Lowenthal Marcus

Posted on 09/24/2012 1:24:47 PM PDT by Zionista Feminista

Pamela Geller, conservative commentator and blogger provocateur, is the executive director of the American Freeedom Defense Initiative. AFDI created and paid for an ad campaign to run in several urban transit systems, in response to anti-Israel ads that ran in the same spaces.

The AFDI ads contain a paraphrase from the philosopher Ayn Rand: “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man.” It concludes with: “Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.”

The ads are already running on the sides of San Francisco buses, they began running today, September 24th, in New York City, and they were scheduled to begin appearing in the Washington, D.C. metro system. However, the DC system balked, citing the violent rioting by Muslims allegedly inflamed by a YouTube video which presents an unflattering view of Mohammad, so Geller initiated an emergency court action at the end of last week to enforce her First Amendment rights.

Because there is so much misinformation both about Geller and her ad, The Jewish Press asked her to explain what her ad means, why it is scheduled to run this week, what the responses to it have been and, most importantly, why she continues to express her views so publicly, when she is repeatedly condemned by virtually the entire spectrum of mainstream media and even by other Jewish and pro-Israel groups.

First, let’s get the chronology and the geography straight.

Pamela knows that the other side is playing the word games and passing off sadistic terrorism as justified revolutionary activity.

It reminds me of the New York Times reporting on El Salvador where any guerrilla who was killed was a “victim” or a “Right-wing Death Squad” while any government official or Rightist who was assassinated was apparently a target of “the military wing of the FMLN”. As M. Stanton Evans pointed out there could be no such thing as a Left-wing Death Squad.

God Bless Pamela for calling a Spade a Spade.

She has more courage than any three of her supporters and any thousand of her detractors.

I admire this lady.

Geller is right on.

But I disagree with her on one thing.

I am against all moslems. It doesn’t take much to turn them from mild-mannered ragheads to ravening savages.

And they all have the same goal. Worldwide Sharia. If they tell you different they are merely practicing muruna. They are not to be trusted or believed. Ever.

I seriously doubt that while sitting enthroned above the stars the King Of Kings and Lord of Lords is pondering the difference between Satan and radical Satan. Not much difference to Him. Me, either

While we're at it, Let's get the culture straight:

First: The Pakistani-Peruvian axis Then: Why I Despise Progressives

Next: Civilization and Its Enemies

And last but not least: Killers Without Conscience.

The leftwing vitriolic attacks are never used for actual terrorists
