Pamela Geller endorsed Ted Cruz for President Sunday, but hardly anyone noticed. The activist and outspoken critic of Islamic extremists made the endorsement in a Sunday blog post titled "Ted Cruz on Jihad in Texas: ‘Thankfully one police officer helped them meet their virgins.’” Though that headline doesn't offer a clue about her decision to back the Senator from Texas in the 2016 election, she didn't bury the political lede. Here are her first two paragraphs: I endorse Cruz for 2016. The media is going to try to use this against him. But they have been thoroughly discredited in the past week. They are aligned with our enemies. Get behind Cruz. I know its early — but the truth is, it’s late in the fight. I have been considering this for some time and will write a more comprehensive post when time permits, but Cruz is the best candidate in the field. Bar none.
The remainder of her post is focused on the ISIS-inspired attack last week by two terrorists on the "Draw Muhammad" contest Geller and Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer organized in Garland, Texas and Sen. Cruz's strong reaction to it. But Geller is likely correct in her assessment of how the media will treat her endorsement of Ted Cruz. She has been roundly criticized by news outlets as a provocateur. Instead of reporting the ominous development that ISIS has exported its brutal brand of violence to America, many reporters and commentators have instead pursued a "she asked for it" angle, either implied or explicit.
Liberal Fox News analyst Juan Williams spoke for much of what Rush Limbaugh calls the "drive-by" media when he likened Geller to a "pyromaniac" in an appearance on his network’s "Hannity" program. But that was nothing compared to what another one of Fox News' resident liberals said about her. Vile leftist Geraldo Rivera smeared Geller on "Fox & Friends" Friday, as he spat out that the free speech activist reminded him of "the Aryan Nation, skinheads, KKK, racists." Much of the rest of the media's reaction has been similarly negative. A notable -- and rather surprising -- exception is left-leaning Newsweek, which took the trouble to actually let Geller speak for herself in this interview and gave her equal bandwidth in a related backgrounder.
Geller will remain controversial because the leftist media says she is. And don't expect many beyond her blog's readership to notice that she's backing Senator Ted Cruz of Texas for president in 2016. But it comes as no surprise to the Lone Star Conservative that "the woman ISIS wants dead" has endorsed Ted Cruz in his run for the White House. People who have no fear are invariably drawn to one another. The left, which aligns itself more with radical Islam than with freedom-loving Americans, will never acknowledge Pamela's courage. It will instead insist that it is recklessness. But even most who strongly disagree with Pamela Geller and Ted Cruz know deep down inside that both have the hearts of warriors. Where these two are concerned, "courageous conservatives" is more than just campaign rhetoric.

There seem to be indications that she is pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage, as on her Wiki page and a some other whack-media vehicles, though I’m trying to nail these down specifically.
That could be pretty thorny for Cruz.
McCain won’t be there. He’ll be primaried; but in the off-chance he survives a primary challenge, he’ll lose to whomever the Dims put up against him. I know quite a few Republicans in Arizona that utterly detest McCain, and apparently that mindset is spreading.
Walker supports “pathway amnesty” - NOT Cruz.
At best, you’re confusing Walker &\for Cruz...or just posting false information (i.e. lies)
Thanks, good point ought-6. Many more of his ilk will still not like VP Cruz... Good!!!
Cruz does Not support a pathway to citizenship. The most he is willing to concede is that they can apply for a legal permit to work. This does not give them citizenship and he says that illegals should not be rewarded with citizenship. It’s Walker who has advocated them paying a $100 fine and then a pathway to citizenship which is insulting to all American citizens, especially those who came legally.
From your mouth to God’s ears that McCain will be primaried. I have heard good things about Kelli Ward, so maybe she can get the job done.
You are talking about Walker, right?
I agree with you, but I don’t think the Republican primary voters will make a good choice; they rarely do.
Ted Cruz Ping! Cruz or Lose
you got that right!!
We ARE Rolling in the right direction!!
Who sent you here to stir up the $#*+?
Even Ike’s “draconian” (by modern standards) Operation Wetback had a guest worker program as a major component.
>>I think you got that backwards. It’s Cruz/Walker.
I a good either way. I give the edge to Walker due to the insane fights he has been in. Only a master politician could have not only survived but thrived!

I don’t remember much about Ike’s administration policy wise. I need to read up on it. I just remember growing up back then was a great time to be an American. We didn’t lock our doors at night, families were intact and went to church, neighbors helped each other. At school we opened each day with prayer and the pledge of allegiance. I miss those days. We have to get them back for the sake of our kids and grandkids.
I love ‘em both.
I have actually had the privilege of meeting Pam, hugging her, and praying over her.
O’Reilly has made a huge mistake with his take on Geller, huge.
