She is "stirring the pot" so to say.

And I would say she is doing it from a militant position not unlike radicals do.

Josie said:

Hatred of radical Islam? Agreed.
Ignorance? Of what?

The Anti-Defamation League, which also classifies Geller's organization as a hate group, has described its goals as "promot[ing] a conspiratorial anti-Muslim agenda under the guise of fighting radical Islam" and "seek[ing] to rouse public fears by consistently vilifying the Islamic faith and asserting the existence of an Islamic conspiracy to destroy 'American' values."

Serenity said:

She's a bigoted, hateful, fearmongering dangerous extremist. She doesn't just hate radical Islam like a NORMAL person would do, she promotes a conspiratorial anti-Muslim agenda under the guise of fighting radical Islam.

The ADL classify her organization as a hate group.

If you do something intentionally knowing that it will cause violence you are partially responsible. Just a fact.

Kids know this. We teach them to ignore or move on when dealing with an asshole but we also teach the asshole that their behaviour is unacceptable.

Disagree all you want. I really don't care.

Also, Bush is not a religion, race, gender or sexuality... Bush is a person. You created a Straw Man, nothing more.

Look, the 1st amendment isn't for general topics that we all relate to - those discussions need no protections. The 1st amendment was created to protect the fringe discussions where people do not agree and where government may, had the 1st not been added to the Constitution, take retribution on those fringes. The way I see thrilla's analogy is from the perspective of "they were asking for it". In that way, it is analogous. However - it's irrelevant. Purposeful speech that incites anger is still protected speech in this case.

Would you all also say that satirical cartoonists and TV shows are also pot stirrers?

They are not usually on the same level and advocating the same hatred Pam Greer is. Pam just like ISIS is only advocating hate not satire and or understanding

Josie said:

I disagree with the ADL. I've heard her speak and read her articles. She speaks against radical Islam and jihadists.

Kobie said:

Emphasis mine. Pointing out that the group is a bag of dicks is not "blaming" them for violence.

Oh jeeesh have some intellectual integrity and don't put words in my mouth I never said. I don't tolerate sophistry very well.

What about those that burn the American flag? It wasn't that long ago an amendment was proposed to the Constitution to ban that.

One of her NYC bus ads (linked earlier in the thread) read: "Today's Moderate; Tomorrow's Headline." That's basically claiming that every Muslim is a terrorist in waiting. Let's take a gander at some of her other freakouts:

-- she lost her mind when TV's Rachael Ray appeared in a Dunkin' Donuts ad wearing a patterned scarf similar to one worn by Muslims.

RACHAEL RAY, DUNKIN DONUTS JIHAD TOOL | Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs: Islam, Jihad, Israel and the Islamic War on the West

-- she flipped out when Campbell's (which makes Kosher products) released a line of halal soups in Europe.

M-M-M-M-M-Muslim Brotherhood Good? | Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs: Islam, Jihad, Israel and the Islamic War on the West

-- she went bananas when the United 93 memorial in Shanksville, Pa. was kinda sorta shaped like (gasp) a crescent.

The Other Ground Zero Mosque: Flight 93 Islamic Crescent Memorial | Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs: Islam, Jihad, Israel and the Islamic War on the West

Does this look like work of someone who is just against radical Muslims?

I had my head handed to me by a so-called "liberal" for suggesting way back in 2009 that Obama's "enemies" were not the same as America's enemies. Since then he and his stupid voter followers have been proving me right.

Benghazi was a terrorist attack on US soil, and NOTHING was done about it. But, we have to see the government 'shut down' a few times to be reminded that the reeal "enemies" are Americans, members of congress in fact.

Terrorists walk free, but Republicans must be demonized. You would think aliens had come
