Pam Geller: CPAC board member is “worse” than Anwar al-Awlaki
Salon ^ | Mar. 16, 2013 | Alex Seitz-Wald

Anti-Muslim activist and blogger Pam Geller said Saturday at a CPAC panel of rouge conservative activists that a board member of the group that puts on the annual conservative conference is worse than a terrorist killed by an American drone strike in Yemen.

Geller said the reason she and the other panelists — including fellow anti-Muslim activists Frank Gaffney and Robert Spencer — were barred from CPAC because of the nefarious influence of board members Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan.

The three anti-Muslim activists have for years accused Gaffney and Khan of being members of the Muslim Brotherhood and secret Islamist agents, but Geller took her rhetoric against Khan, a Republican consultant and former Bush White House official, to new heights today.

“Am I saying that Suhail Khan is as bad as Awlaki? He’s worse!” she said, referring to Anwar al-Awlaki, the American citizen jihadi who was killed by a U.S. drone strike in 2011.

She added that it was a “crime” that she and the others panelists were not invited to CPAC, warning that the snub is a threat to the freedom of speech. “Free men will have to resort to violence in the absence of the freedom of speech,” she added darkly.

Spencer had his own anti-Khan tirade, encouraging activist in the room to “go find him and take your picture with him.”

Gaffney called Khan a “prince of the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Gaffney was disinvited from CPAC several years ago and the entire board of the American Conservative Union, which organizes CPAC, passed a unanimous resolution condemning Gaffney’s baseless attacks on Khan and Norquist. Geller said she was disinvited this year.

“Good on them.”

I agree. But there are many here on FR who are plenty twisted out of shape that I DARED to post such blasphemy about their sacred cows of CPAC & the ACU! People don’t want the truth and have shoved rinos down our throats for so long, I fear it’s too late to turn it around. They used to say, “Winning is everything”....hell, it’s been so long since they’ve “won” anything, you’d think they’d figure out the RINO message isn’t working!

“Salon, it appears, is on the side of the violent jihadis.”

Yes.

And someday, IF we manage to pull our heads out of our arses, maybe the folk at Salon (and elsewhere of a similar lover of the enemy mindset) can be treated appropriately.
