Pamela Geller Boasts About Her Professionalism, Misspells Own Name

Pamela “Shrieking Harpy” Geller was picked as one of Forward Magazine’s 50 men and women who made an impact on the “Jewish story” in the past year, and the Forward editors correctly identify her as a bigot, a liar, and a raving kook: Forward 50 — The 2010 List.

In December of 2009, long before the controversy over what became known as the “Ground Zero mosque” took hold of the national conversation — back when one of the organizers of the project could still appear on Fox News for a mostly friendly interview — one blog began to beat the war drums. That blog was Pamela Geller’s Atlas Shrugs, which launched the opposition to a planned Islamic cultural center in Lower Manhattan with a post titled “Mosque at Ground Zero: Adding Insult to Agony.”

Neglecting to mention that the proposed center, now known as Park51, is not a mosque, per se, and is being planned blocks from the former site of the World Trade Center, is par for the course for Geller, 52, a far-right, anti-Muslim provocateur. Known for her outrageous rhetoric and her Ann Coulter-like glamour, she was a key voice in spurring on the grassroots fervor that eventually catapulted the story into the mainstream political discourse.

Raised on Long Island, Geller has children in Jewish day school. Her website is hardly a credible source of analysis: Geller famously posted an essay by another author on the eve of the 2008 presidential elections arguing that Barack Obama is actually the son of Malcolm X. But as a key anti-Muslim voice both before and after the Park51 controversy, she has had an undeniable impact.

This accurate summation led, naturally, to a vitriolic rant from Geller (pretty much everything does), labeling the Forward as “Jewicidal clowns:” The Backward 50 - Atlas Shrugs.

But the really hilarious part of her rant is this boast:

Few bloggers or journalists have broken as many stories as Atla has. I source everything. I stand by my work.

Yes, that’s right. While bragging about her unimpeachable professionalism, she misspelled her own blog name. And then left it like that, sticking out like a sore thumb right at the top of the page.
