Over the last year, as I have been working with Pamela Geller on various initiatives in defense of human rights against Islamic supremacism, I have witnessed her rise to becoming one of America’s foremost and most prominent voices for freedom on the scene today. In response, the Leftist media establishment has mounted an all-out assault against her, with hit pieces coming virtually every day, following classic Alinskyite tactics. Her treatment in the media has been a textbook case of how the Left follows Rules for Radicals author Saul Alinsky’s playbook to destroy its most formidable opponents. And the response from the Right? Silence — raising larger questions of how such a fractious group can ever achieve victory.
“Pick the target,” Alinsky directs, “freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Because of her work in raising awareness of Islamic honor killing and the death penalty for apostates, and above all in opposing the Ground Zero mega-mosque, Pamela Geller’s public presence increased swiftly. She appeared on the Hannity Show and other Fox shows, as well as on 60 Minutes, CNN, Joy Behar’s show, and numerous other Left-leaning media outlets in the U.S. and Europe. She was the subject of a lavish but slyly contemptuous profile in the New York Times. And as her notoriety grow amidst all this, she was picked as the target.
First, the hard-Left self-styled media watchdog Media Matters drew up a dossier full of distortions, half-truths, and outright lies about Geller. They directly and explicitly challenged media outlets, as the Times profile noted, “to stop presenting her as an expert” – but they did so “ineffectually.” Ineffectual or not, however, some of the Media Matters farrago was featured in that same Times piece, including material Geller herself remarked upon in delineating the Times’ spin-by-omission:
Here is credentialed journalism: they say without explanation that I “posted doctored pictures of Elena Kagan, the Supreme Court justice, in a Nazi helmet.” They don’t bother to mention that the Kagan photoshop came after it was revealed that Kagan had cited in her thesis a German Marxist who became a Nazi when Hitler took power. They claim that I said that “a young Barack Obama slept with ‘a crack whore,’” without mentioning that in that post I was making a point about unfair journalists (like these Times writers), constructing a reductio ad absurdum about media bias.
This casual acquaintance with the truth became a hallmark of the attacks against Geller, which began coming virtually every day as her role solidified as the national leader of the movement against the Ground Zero mosque. Oft-repeated were wholly false claims that she supported white supremacists and neo-Nazis, which depended on willful misreadings of what she had actually written, along with previously constructed Leftist propaganda about various groups or individuals about which she had spoken favorably. Another staple of the attack plan was the charge that she had declared Barack Obama to be the illegitimate son of Malcolm X; never repeated was the two-year-old disclaimer on Geller’s Atlas Shrugs website, explaining that that claim was made as part of a larger presentation written by someone else, which Geller believed had merits aside from that claim, and moreover, wrote Geller, “I do not believe that Barack Obama is Malcolm X’s love child, and never did.”
What? O'Donnell removed her name specificly? Is this true? I'm looking it up!
The western-world left and politically correct clique has to demonize Pamela Geller. She speaks the truth about islam, opposes main-stream lies, finds the mosque at ground-zero obscene (as does every clear thinking non-muslim), she happens to be beautiful, and expresses her opinions with proof, wit, and backup. She poses a danger for the "political, established elite" that is pretty successful in dumbing down a generation and indoctrinating its audience with obsolete multi-culturalism. Long live the truth, long and happily live Pamela Geller. Let's all subscribe to "Atlas Shrugs"!
Well said Kr. I happen to have Pamela Geller as a friend on Face Book as well as keeping up with Atlas Shrugs and purchasing her (and Robert's) book(s). I would be proud to stand side by side with her in the face of her ~ strike that ~ OUR enemies.
Following a Crack-pot Zionst will not any favors for the USA, only Israel! These people don't give a damn about you. yoy are just a GENTILE, GOY.
Let us all embrace Geller – the Crank! Let us all get embroiled in the mischeivous and haughty nature of this Jewess… these folks like to cause trouble, they have been expelled from every single country they've lived in for over 3000 years; immigrants, vagabonds, homeless, landless, wandering the earth, refugees!
Let us all be idiotic, and let us all fight in the name of Israel…

You will NEVER learn from history – just got all excited about those darn moslems, but you'll be cryig in the end (aas is always the case – it's gonna backfire!)
Satan, being thus confined to a vagabond, wandering, unsettled condition, is without any certain abode; for though he has, in consequence of his angelic nature, a kind of empire in the liquid waste or air, yet this is certainly part of his punishment, that he is . . . without any fixed place, or space, allowed him to rest the sole of his foot upon.
Daniel Defoe, The History of the Devil
It is my belief that the reason the "right" does not give their take on the leftist media bias is because most of us are not aware of the bias of the leftist because we have no use for their lies, half truth, distortions, etc., or any thing else coming fromt his line of thinking. What the American Conservative movement wants is the unvarnished truth, we don't go looking for trouble for a reason, because we all ready know they are incapable of telling the truth, so why bother with it in the first place.
The truth is not to be found with the alphabet news outlets. Most of the so-called news consist of some jerks personal feeling and has nothing to do with the truth. If you want the truth and nothing but the truth, rely upon the "targets" own site for it and pay no attention to the competing lies.
So what we Conservatives should do is boycott or force the boycotting of all publications which are lefties dens, putting them out of business or make them depend on the GESTAPOWITZ largesse or the SAUDIS, which are those funding the disgraceful JIMMY WHO, another DEMOCRAP by the way…
You make a good point…up to a point.
I, too, want "the unvarnished truth." However, I most often feel compelled to respond to the outright lies of the media and its "lapdog" readers. I like to take their premise of the moment and dissect it item by item. They are unable to respond with anything approaching accuracy. Probably why the liberal outlets do not print most refutations.
I've been reading "Atlas Shrugged" for about four years now and I've never known Pamela to be anything but incisive, factual, caring and sexy! So it simply has to be her response to the Ground Zero Mosque Controversy that has raised her profile sufficiently to be demonized by the Left! That alone should tell you that she's right, right, right and KOSHER MEHADRIN, on this.
Let the scoffers, scoff, Pamela. Little things please these little minds!
Robert is talking about something that occurred to me yesterday; that the left can savage us one at a time. What will the others on the right do? Stand up for us? And for how long?
I have noticed that Hot Air and Michelle Malkin do not link to Atlas Shrugs, never quote her or mention her activities. Hmmm.
She is, as Robert describes her, an authority on her subject with the extraordinary courage to do the right thing. Rare and precious.
It is interesting, and a bit puzzling, that Debbie Schlussel, with a popular website of her own and is a fighter against Islam in Dearbornistan (as she calls it), has written a number of columns recently attacking both Geller and Spencer. So the attacks are not all coming from the Left.
I believe the reason they are going after Pamela Geller so aggressively is because she is a woman. Many leftists hate the idea of a strong woman with conservative views who can effectively promote and defend her ideas on a daily basis the way she has done. It's a shame, I expect that kind of thing in Iran, not the United States of America. And what is surprising is that Pamela Geller has on numerous occasions defended Muslims. She's actually a moderate voice in the anti-islamization movement. I for one have no problem stating that I have issues with muslim people. I support banning the hijab and the construction of mosques and halting all muslim immigration, I believe Pamela Geller has not called for these things.
This article reminds me the incident between WHOOPI GOLDBERG & JOY BEHAR vs.
BILL O'REILLY.
They took offense to O'REILLY's words about Muslims being the authors of the 9/11 horror and other deeds and blamed it on an insignificant percentage of Muslim terrorists (not in that many words as the PRESIDENT forbade calling these animals by their right name) and walked off the set…
But as to "moderate" Muslims, O'REILLY failed to ask these ladies what about the QUEENS, N.Y Muslims DANCING IN THE STREETS AND GIVING OUT CANDY (which is how they express their joy)) , WHILE THE WTC WAS BURNING AND PEOPLE WERE JUMPING OUT THE WINDOWS TO THEIR DEATHS !!!!!
WERE THOSE "MODERATE" MUSLIMS ALSO ????
GIVE ME A BREAK…! ! !
"Insignificant percentage?" You are correct in pointing out that view – no pun etc.
One should ask, "How many murders before they become significant?"
Admittedly, were Whoopi and Joy to be among the victims of a militant non-Christian/Jew (can't say the "M" word in such a context) bomber, I would consider that as insignificant.
Jews… in a nutshell!

You are about to witness … the beginning of the end, why should there be peace now? There never was! Not for over 3000 years! Why now?
How is Kagan's thesis a justification for drawing her in a Nazi helmet? Also on the Obama / Malcolm X child thing, if someone published on their website a long article where Geller is called a prostitute, then adds a disclaimer "I don't really believe Geller is a prostitute", that makes it OK? If you really believe that Kagan is a Nazi or Obama is Malcolm X's child, just be honest about, don't just put it out there and if someone calls you on it pretend you didn't mean it.
the bottom line here is the Left isn't challenging the truth of her words. they trying to destroy the messenger. What utter cowards! Pamela Geller will be counted among the saints, the Left will be the first do go down when the Islam $hit hits the fan. Can't wait!!

Truth?
The cheap, flashy, controversial, easy to sell trash that RS and Pam push is more like carnival side show material than truth…snippets of fact selective out takes, misrepresentations, all ran through trash filters to dirty them up as much as possible then it gets blasted it all over the place and made to seem as if it were the rule and not the exception.
No, not the "truth"…more like a highly selective, heavily op-editted and embellished bit of information that should be taken with a grain of salt…consider the source… follow the money people… it isn't rocket science…
I have supported Pamela Geller by checking her website ATLAS SHRUGS regularly and getting her e-mail updates. Pamela put out a terrific book with Mr. Robert Spencer and is a must read. Pamela is a strong person and strong advocate for Israel. I don't thing the Marxists lies and deceptions will deter Pamela from her mission. I sent a strong critical message to 60 MINUTES for their hit job on Pamela. I agree that more conservative advocates could be citing and supporting Pamela.
If she is right and just then all the stones the "evil leftist" media throws at her will not hit their mark and honest people will see her for what she really is.
Is it that you are afraid they will see her for what she really is?
Bug off Abdullah.Geller is worth a MILLION of your kind. (Especially in your society where the testimony of awoman is half that of a man) Go back to your palace in the Saudi and pray to Allah. Its all you guys can do; None of you are educated or erudite enough to write ANYTHING of value or to have a coherent argument. Its just always "kill the infidel" So naff off and go play with your dingaling or your lady goat friend.
Your comment says nothing about me, but loads about you…
There are lies lies and damnable lies. There is truth and absolute truth. Liars cannot stand the truth. I was writting my own blog for several months until I discovered ATLAS SHRUGS. Now I just try to contribute to the ABSOLUTE TRUTH now and then on this good site and Pamelas and one other. And yes abDULLah leftists are evil(or just ignorant) and I KNOW Pamella for what she really is and love what she REALLY is. She is a great lady who presents truth very clearly and efficently. And for that you hate her
Hey, Abdullah: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Hey American values….. FFFFFFFFFFFFTT!
I think it's time for us to do a Google Books search for "Steven Ross Hollywood Politics Casden," Read his chapter on Politics in Hollywood before WWII. It's sobering and does not give reason for optimism today. Basically, Pamela, without the benefit of being a Hollywood mogul or movie star, is trying to do what even they couldn't do. Jack Warner, Hollywood's most powerful and most vocal anti-Nazi crusader-producer, had a hard time getting any anti-Nazi movie made. In 1936, 95% of Americans wanted to stay out of any conflict in Europe.
Five months before Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and started WWII, after the existence of concentration camps was documented, after Kristalnacht, after Jews were driven to escape oppression (i.e. Einstein), Warners finally got out a true-story film, "Confessions of a Nazi Spy." This is how Ross describes the reception by us mighty Americans:
"It would be heartening to think that Americans were awakened by the daring pronouncements of their favorite stars. But that was not the case. While some applauded these actions, others accused anti-fascist movie figures of being ungrateful Jews and godless Communists. . . Edward G. Robinson was flooded with vitriolic letters reproaching him for joining . . . in destroying democracy. The Warner brothers received equally vicious responses to the opening of their film: . . "gross Jewish propaganda." . . . Nazi sympathizers in Milwaukee burned down the local Warner Brothers' theater shortly after the movie opened, while angry crowds in other cities picketed movie houses, slashed seats, and threatened exhibitors."
Needless to say, Pamela Geller is no Jack Warner, and even if she were it wouldn't help. There is one thing that liberals fear more than losing their freedoms, including freedom to speak, write, picket, blog, take drugs, engage in sex with any available sex, etc, it is their fear of being told what to do. Liberals hate anyone that acts like a scolding mother or domineering father, telling them what's right. Even if where their own survival is at stake! It's called the old "command-resistance" urge.
Like children being pushed, they instinctively push back. There is no logic or intelligence involved here. It's pure action-reaction. They will chant the words of Lady Ga Ga before listening to the words of wisdom from a tribal elder. That's why it takes a lot of thinking to recall the name of any great American philosophers.
In support of your points; please note that Superman and batman did not fight Nazi's or Nazi spes during WWII. They did fight the Soviets in the 1950's.
She thought the article (with the bat-sh!t crazy 'love child' theory) had "other merits"? Like what? The entire article was about the claim, complete with pictures comparing the two. Just curious as to what "other merits" the article had, that she was referring to.
The lefty media needs to be called on its blatant MISOGYNY in attacking Pamela Geller. Sexist, misogynistic rubbish so typical of Islam – they must be very proud of themselves.
I have little doubt that one of Pamela's major motivations is the vile, despicable and abysmal treatment of women within Islam. Yet, these foul-mouths have the nerve to give her what-for. They are REPROBATES who would just as soon see her and the rest of us free women enslaved. And they must be stopped.
Go, Pamela – and Robert!
For Leftists supporting Islam only:

I don't know who I despise more, vicious liberals or gutless republicans?
That's what this tea party movement is all about.
Its not only about defeating liberalism in all of its machinations and political correctness, though that is clearly the main objective, but not the only objective.
If you watched the primaries you know the other objective was to purge the republican party of these yellow-bellies who appease and accomodate liberals every time they sense trouble, who have no stomach for a fight, not for Pam Geller, not for Sarah Palin, not for their country, not to defeat Islamo-fascism, not for anything … truly a pathetic lot if ever I have seen one.
But take heart, Pam, there are millions of us out here who love and defend you and contrary to the MSM's narrative we are not some small cult, we are the majority and our ideals are quintessentially American. We are out here fighting the good fight too and we love and appreciate you, and come Nov 2 we're going to show the MSM how we feel about their vicious smears and slanders against the tea party and people like you.
BET ON IT
II agree heartily with all the positive things the commenters have said about Pamela Geller. It may have slipped my attention, but did anyone mention how sexy and good-looking she is? Maybe the left-wingers are jealous of her sex-appeal. Go Pamela, you are HOT!
Pamela the shrieking harpy and Robert Spencer are both Islamaphobic hate mongers. No clear thinking person takes anything they say seriously.
melvin, you are a complete moron
Melvin… you are right! These zionists are a malignant tumour on America. Look at history! What does it tell us?
We Eurpeans have had enough of their mischievous and troublesome character, they have been expelled from every country in Europe. Why?
They cause trouble. They want war between the GOY (you and I) we are GENTILES. Remember that.
Their loyalties are with ISRAEL , not AMERICA nor the rest of the WESTERN WORLD.
Indeed, the true patriot sees through the delusion. The ones who follow the ANTICHRIST, who align themselves with christ haters will see for themselves…Remember! They have never seen PEACE (for over 3000 years) why will they now?
They are cursed!
By leading the attack against the GZM, Ms Geller stepped on the toes of the Left’s religions, multiculturalism and diversity. In multicultural and diverse societies criticism of all other cultures other than white culture is off base, as all other cultures except white culture are equal and equally deserving. Multiculturalism and diversity are what are responsible for the current level of political correctness that saturates our society today, and it is used by the Left to infuse their radical ideas on racism and especially to create their cults of victimhood, where members of all other cultures except for white culture become victims, and the more victims the merrier.
Nothing more than multiculturalism and diversity has been nearly so devastating to America as today it has permeated throughout our society even to the point of paralyzing our own federal government and at the same time rendering our military and intelligence apparatuses dysfunctional. Have you ever wondered why our federal government has become so dysfunctional? It’s because minorities and women have been promoted first instead of the most competent and qualified people, and it has resulted in an atmosphere of political correctness that has rendered our federal government almost totally incompetent and dysfunctional.
In addition, the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullin, has made multiculturalism and diversity his top two priorities. In other words, instead of prioritizing a merit-based military based on core competency levels and experience for promotion, minorities and women must be promoted first and foremost regardless of core competency levels and experience in order to build a more multicultural and diverse military. Indeed, it’s the reason why after almost 10 years following 9/11 our military today still can’t define the enemy it is fighting much less ever defeat it. Have you ever wondered why we pursued endless fantasy based nation building missions in Afghanistan and Iraq to attempt to win hearts and minds instead of defeating our enemy, creating deterrence, and then going home? Now you know why.
Always in the right,and you have a care for others that is so terribly missing in too much of America.
God Bless you kindly
What an absolutely pathetic argument. Robert Spencer knows that he has lost the game and now is playing the political identity card. Pathetic. Media Matters NAILED Geller using HER OWN WORDS! Why doesn't Spencer refute those charges? Has he ever read her filth? Does he believe in it? Pathetic Spencer, just pathetic.
If you haven't been lied to about the Left or haven't been slandered by the liberals in the media chicken chicken coup Them maybe you are too weak in the criticism in the criticism of these extremists.
One should read a verse day a day from the Holy Quran and post it or read it alive so all may notice what these left wing multicultural really believe in.
Then the public can really understand what nuts these people really are.
When they are really silent about the racism fighters then they are afraid to confront him for they know his tong is is a terrible swift sword that will send then trembling for refuge.
Expose the evil at every turn and on no uncertain terms and with great truth.
Why would Geller make freinds with Christine O’Donnell in the frist place? O'Donnell is a complete jesus freak nut case who doesn't believe in evolution or separation of church and state. Say what you will of religious conservatives but the smart ones know better than to reject evolution and speration of church and state. The smart ones know how to reconcile religion with evolution. They also apply this religious idiom to the church and state issue: "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s and what is god's is god."
If anything geller should of rejected O'donnell.
Are you sure you're "Proxy" and not "Poxy"?
Because given the elegance and purity of your grammar and punctuation as evidenced here, I wouldn't put it past you to mis-spell your own name!
Ahem, that's "evidenced herein"… don't throw stones when you live in a little glass house.
BTW, Proxy is a straight shooter who stands by what he sees as right…he doesn't tow the party line… we walks his own.
If you haven't been lied to about the Left or haven't been slandered by the liberals in the media chicken chicken coup Them maybe you are too weak in the criticism in the criticism of these extremists.
I guess liberal progressive democrats are in big trouble now. Just think of the grotesque situation:
Even with Obama's main trump card – anti-Semitism his popularity is going down to drain.
His supporting base is mostly the only people motivated by obama's race and his communist's agenda. Under the circumstances I would not pay too much attention to the smear campaign against his supporters growing opposition.
Just to remember that Alinsky-directed Bekel-type agony wont damage you Pamela. For them you are unreachable. Please continue your excellent job.
I've read Sperncers blog since it's inception , and have nothing but the greatest respect for the man , I've also read Johnsons blog since it's inception also and watch as he attacked Spencer and succumbed to the same pc B.S. that most on the left have sucked up . Johnson now obsesses in attacking Spencer at every opportunity . Unfortunately Geller by her remarks , metaphors and statements provides Johnson with ample ammunition . Thus Spencer diminishes his own position and credibility by his unfettered defense of Geller and her ridiculous rants . She infact diminishes her own position on islam [ which I agree with ] on a daily basis.
As for the right ? I 've always contended that the right is no better than the left when it comes to publicly making a stand on islam .As for ANYTHING O'donnell sasys or does or whom she endorses ? It's simply irrelevant , O'Donnell is an unelectable fool , and the sooner the right realizes that the better .
btw Geller's so called "endorsement " of O'Donell only further proves detachment from reality when it comes to politics , both she and Spencer would be better served if Geller stuck to the message on Islam .
Interesting book from some time ago on this issue; "The Spike".
Pamela Geller is as bad as the extremists she talks against. She is not an expert In Islam or any religion but an expert on how to marginalise sectors of society and incite hatred. Her comments appear delusional and 99% of the time have no factual basis. She lives in a fantasy world where she believes in White supremacy and a world without diversity. She is in all fairness a right wing neo Nazi. She does not voice for the reasonable person, her views are distorted and destructive, she believes she is an expert on Islam but she isn’t a Muslim, she reminds me of a ugly dog that barks loudly in the park you look but ignore it by walking calmly by.
@admin: I just have to say your blog is the first I’ve come across today that doesn’t have spelling errors every other sentence. Thank you for taking the time to write something that doesn’t look like a 5th grader wrote. Sorry, just had to vent.
Geller is a ZIONIST, her loyalties are with ISRAEL not the USA… you are a simply a GOY! http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/expelled.htm
Americans, you are being led down a very, very dark alleyway…you collude with people who have no regard for your savior? You align yourself with the ANTICHRIST, (have you read the Talmud?) Do you know that these people cause trouble, and have done for over 3000 years? They have been expelled from ever single country they've ever lived in. Theyhave no home, they are landless, never seen peace, wanderers, immigrants, refugees, in exile…cursed!
What makes one think they are going to see PEACE now?
Mischievous and haughty…never learning from their past grave errors. Europeans had had enough of their trouble causing nature…
