1) Lefties as usual (actually, Alyson Camerota is not lefty, more on that below), are, not surprisingly, conflating two arguments to silence Pamela. They are accusing her of being inflammatory and provocative, as though being offensive should be grounds for being silenced (as leftists do on university campuses, in the arts, and in most newsrooms). Pamela is absolutely 1000% right when she says the first amendment protects controversial speech (See the famous Supreme Court decision of Terminiello vs. Chicago), and the left knows it, so they change the argument that it is her fault for being provocative.
2) Using the left’s logic, it would therefore acceptable to murder Terrence McNally for a play about a gay Jesus or Andres Serrano for his “art” of Jesus dipped in urine. The irony of all this is that while Christians are not stepping up to threaten these leftists, Muslims ARE threatening artists who defame Jesus; McNally’s play about Jesus could not be staged in London due to threats from radical MUSLIMS, not from Christians.
3) Alyson Camerota was with Fox News for years; she cannot be a very convincing lefty all of a sudden because she went to CNN. She is not the committed leftist religious fanatic that most of the CNN people are, as it morphs into an MSNBC II.
Sounds like Mrs. Geller has been getting a lot of practice before this interview. You go, girl!
It must be the first time that her views had such a wide audience. It’s past time.
On website after website, the crazies are out, even on mainstream websites. Almost all of the venom is directed at this heroic woman; you’d think there was no such thing as a jihadi terrorist. She takes all the blame. I think a lot of this is generational, unbelievable what is happening with the younger generations in this country. I’m so glad I hever had children. At least I wouldn’t want them growing up in this increasingly decadent and corrupt country. They’d be safer in Israel, even if putting on the IDF uniform (not that that’s not a noble thing to do). They might be among freedom’s last soldiers, while the west goes down in ruin with their inverted values. Pamela deserves a Noble Prize, in the meantime, the media celebrates the fancy MET event where all the celebrities show up, including the latest chic anti-semite, Trevor Noah, or whatever his name is.
As predictable, the left is blaming Pam for the Texas shooting. I say Perhaps Pamela Geller actually saved lives by exposing Isis presence on American soil. It may be that the authorities will now uncover greater plots because these crazed jihadists couldn’t contain themselves and so exposed themselves prematurely before more deadly attacks could take place.

What’s so wrong with being anti Islam anyway?

@ Laura:
Blaming the Jew? Now that’s a novel idea!
