Pamela Geller Boasts About Her Professionalism, Misspells Own Name

Wingnuts • Views: 3,212

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.

She certainly did have an impact on the Jewish story. A bad one, but an impact none the less.

Of course when her source is the voices she hears in her head…

She has to stand by her work. If she tried to stand on it, it would crumble like the house of cards it is.

Is this ‘shopped?

Well, originally it looked like this.

Congressman Eric Cantor (VA) is number 2 on this list. He will have a majority leadership position in the next congress and will very likely be more prominent in years to come.

Ah, yes.
Mr. Someone targeted my campaign office, but turned out not to be…
FEH.

He also refuses to debate his opponent, Rick Waugh.
Chicken shit.

Andrew Breitbart? He comes off better than Geller, which he does not deserve, IMO.

…Breitbart represents a Tea Party-friendly slice of the Jewish world. So far, his media activism has focused on areas outside the Jewish community, but that could change soon, with the promised launch of a new Breitbart site, Big Jerusalem. “It’s going to be pro-Palestinian nationalism — kind of Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade-esque, but with hints of pop culture and snarkiness,” Breitbart told The New Yorker this year — a statement made “with heavy irony,” the magazine was quick to note.

Why punch down? Cantor wins by 25. It’s such a foregone conclusion that I can’t even find anyone who has taken a poll in that district.

Personally I will never forgive “The Forward” for the horrible radio ads they broadcast years ago, with some pompous ass intoning “The Nation’s Jewish Newspaper” over and over.

Really? I never heard them on the radio, but if you’re advertising, it would seem to make sense to say that. I used to subscribe and I loved their articles. They’re usually on the mark.

Totally non-Geller, but I was thrilled to see Debbie Friedman on the list. She’s a wonderful singer/songwriter. I still have her first album “Sing Unto God”.

Breitbart is Jewish? I had no clue.

Jeffrey Goldberg is there with accolades. In fact, lots of my favorite folks are here.

Lay off the sauce Pam.

Why is she complaining? Even though Geller originally published Obama’s birth conspiracy theories under her own name, they gave her the benefit of the doubt by going with her later version that it was written another anonymous author.

There are dozens of Birther posts at Geller’s site. For her to claim she’s never advocated it herself is just beyond ludicrous.
