Complete Headline: 'This is a war': The woman behind anti-Islamic Muhammad cartoon contest and her long history of hatred

The woman behind the Muhammad cartoon contest targeted in a Texas shooting Sunday has a long history of inflammatory anti-Islam propaganda, and watchdogs have labelled her organization a hate group.

Pamela Geller, president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), said immediately after two armed men opened fire on a security officer outside the provocative event in Garland, that the shooting was merely proof of how 'needed our event really was.'

The controversial 56-year-old blogger, who was quick to call the shooting a 'war on free speech,' has made headlines over the years for her tactics.

Most recently when AFDI paid to have ads posted to New York City buses with the quote 'Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah' plastered all over.

People who support freedom of speech and run art exhibits are called haters.

Muslims who want to kill all who disagree with them are the victims.

She’s still pissed that Roger Ailes elected not to renew her contract, and replaced her on the weekend morning show with the younger (and much more attractive) Anna Kooiman.

Alisyn spent 16 years at Fox; was passed over for anchor and news reader spots on the weekday morning show at least three or four times, and never got her own show as part of the daytime lineup. Meanwhile, a number of female anchors (including Gretchen Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Ms. Kooiman) joined the network and rocketed past her.

Now she works for The Network No One Watches. And she’ll be canned at CNN within 3-4 years because the ratings won’t move. Then, she has to interview a guest who won’t follow the liberal MSM narrative and eats dim-witted anchors for breakfast. No wonder Alisyn seems pissed.

It ain’t propaganda if it’s true.


Actually, propaganda CAN be truth.

Hooray for the courageous Pamela Geller! Shame on the cringing,gutless DailyMail.

The Daily Mail is to objective reporting what a funhouse mirror is to reflecting. They post a lot of stories each day and are sometimes entertaining (but hyperbole is always there).

The biggest problem conservatives have is that we have a crappy propaganda machine. If one side pushes its cause methodically and consistently, and the other doesn't because they (accurately) believe that it is self-evidently better, which do you think will win in the long run?

In terms of an "air" force, we have a few Sopwith Camels while the left has several wings of B-52s and F-16s, not to mention their F-117s. (Stealth aircraft, like the media's stealth propaganda, i.e. stuff they refuse to report.)

They effectively deny us a voice to the American People. Pretty much the only thing you can currently hear on television is the opinion of a Left Wing Liberal Democrat. All dissenting opinions are generally filtered out. This creates the appearance that *their* opinion is the dominant one.

Destroying the left's near total monopoly on access to the American Public is the most crucial problem conservatives face.

Islam already has a firm death grip on the british isles, hence the hit piece on Geller.

This is OK and par for the course for the Brits, who unfortunately are knee-deep in Muslims. It is finally bringing our heroes Pamela and Robert into the public awareness. Perhaps that was their plan. And I don’t think it was any coincidence that they held the event in Texas.

Yes. That’s a distortion of the saying “It ain’t paranoia if it’s true.”

Who wrote that hit piece for the Daily Mail??

When I read this last night, the by-line included AP and an individual's name. Go to the source. The by-line is probably still there.

I saw it for what it was. Just pointing out that poor Britain is just about gone. But sometimes what is intended as propaganda actually can do more good than harm.

I read the hit piece on UKIP Friday on page 1 of the NY Times and found it hilarious that they were poking Farage with a stick What came through to me was the validity of his platform, once you weed out all the slurs. In making her piece entertaining, the reporter gave him lots of ink and, unintentionally, a nice image.
