Pam Geller Justifies Breiviks Terror: Youth Camp Had More Middle Eastern or Mixed Races Than Pure Norwegian
Popular hate blogger Pam Geller has received scrutiny in recent days as the public became aware that the right-wing terrorist in Norway, Anders Behring Breivik, had praised her blog and thoroughly cited her writing in his political manifesto. After a number of blogs made the connection, as well as the New York Times, the Atlantic, and other major outlets, Geller became incensed and began lashing out at her critics.
In a post defending herself yesterday, Geller who has called Obama President Jihad and claimed that Arab language classes are a plot to subvert the United States reached a new low. Geller justifies Breiviks attack on the Norwegian Labour Party summer youth camp because she says the camp is part of an anti-Israel indoctrination training center. She says the victims would have grown up to become future leaders of the party responsible for flooding Norway with Muslims who refuse to assimilate, who commit major violence against Norwegian natives including violent gang rapes, with impunity, and who live on the dole.

Physics is physics.
Human nature is human nature.
I have posted before that Karma doesn't mean retribution or revenge. Karma means "Action". As in Action/Reaction. Cause/Effect. No value judgement involved.

(37,748 posts)I suppose it will become bad form criticizing Gellar, Fox news or anyone else lest we give credibility to the half-witted and sub-literate implications that we're defending violent reactions.
It is a most sad day when the lowest common denominators are victorious over rational thought.

Of course, Pope Awesome himself said as much recently (see his comment about "a punch in the nose" awaits those who criticize religion) -- what crock.
It's a sad day when "progressive" people push the "well, come on, they had it coming" subtext.
It's pathetic that so many religious people are so thin-skinned and defensive about their beliefs they think religious people are within reason when they react with violence to mocking or ridicule.
If we atheists reacted that way every time we've been attacked throughout history there would have been major bloodbaths every single day.

In fact the only person defending violence in this thread, is Gellar herself, and her support for Breivik.

This is what makes free speech in the US what it is... you might even say an oddity in the western world, but she still has a right to organize that show.
The rest of us have a right to call her a scumbag, a racist, hate filled, you insert the rest of the epithets here.
We even have a right to boycott her, and use other social punishment as it were.
Good luck proving incitement in a court of law, even if you and I might agree it probably happened. But legally, there is no standing.
