At one point Pam got caught up in the thing about Islam not liking humor. She should have clarified that Islam does not tolerate humor directed against Islam, and illustrated it with the example of Muhammad ordering the murder of a woman who made satirical poems about Muhammad.
Geller did a nice job of defending her position, but put me in the minority as far as what I thought of the line of questioning from Camerota. Asked some questions whose premise I disagreed with, but I thought was generally fair in her approach to the interview. It could have been far more incendiary than what we saw. As we all know, there are certain interviewers on MSNBC and on CNN who would have allowed little response from Geller at all and would have either cut her off at every turn or asked such ridiculous questions as to result in either their ending the interview or Geller walking off.
Two things made the interview good. Eloquent arguing of her position by Geller and generally fair and non combative questioning on the part of Camerota that allowed for an exchange.
She’s got a nice NY accent, I haven’t even been out there but I like listening to her talk in addition to the information she gives. God Bless Pamela Geller. If only more Americans were like her.
What Geller did needs to start happening far more often - she refused to be a victim and instead turned the attack on the nitwit leftist interviewing her.
Too many times, these ‘24-hour’ news channels cut off discussion and debate to go to a repetition of an Alert or headline, commercial break, etc., when the control room doesn't like the direction the discussion is going.

It would be interesting to know how much of Alisyn’s comments were from the control room via the earpiece and/or teleprompter.
She nailed it.
I love how Pamela refers to the Muslims as ‘savages’...spot on.
Kudos, Pam Geller. Brave lady.
Watching the loathsome Camerota defending radical Islam, I had the distinct intuition that this woman has a bitter, arrogant, fascist mind-set.....along with a very twisted, amoral ideology.
I think, among other things, she's one of those types who gets a sexual thrill out of mental-slumming with cavemen-like Islamic terrorists who project aggressive hyper-masculinity which appeals to many women.
CNN has some really abnormal freaks as commentators.

Alysin, Alinsky, to the unknowing, the names look similar.

Pamela Geller Battles CNNs Camerota over Garland Shooting: Why Is Media Targeting Us?

What a smackdown!!! Good work, Pam.
BTS, Alysin seems to have gone terribly blonde since arriving at CNN. But then, there’s Elizabeth Hasselbeck over at FOX who gave a thumbs up to Trump’s appeasement rant.
Appeasement and absence of backbone from both of these chicks. Is it in the peroxide? It can’t be because of gender since Pam is also a woman. As am I. Here’s one thing of note: both Pam and I are brunettes. Just sayin’..... :)
The mohammed cartoons are mild compared to the vile anti-Chrisitan cartoons Larry Flint published in his Hustler magazine.
In Falwell vs Larry Flint, Flint won his 1st Amendment case in the SCOTUS, the liberals rejoiced and made a movie about it.
Liberals are nothing more than smiling psychopaths. This exchange is a textbook demonstration that news presenters are propaganda hacks incapable of analysis. You could almost hear Camerota’s bones snap as she had to acknowledge Geller’s logic at an intellectual level, but maintained a pit bull grip on her own bigotry in order to keep her job. Conservatives have to back Geller and her movement as though their lives depended on it.
A lot of the cartoons in the the contest were kinda lame, brave but not so clever. I’ve seen tons more savvy satire here of FR. Why don’t we have a cartoon contest on Free Republic? Why not encourage conservatives the world over to hold cartoon contests?

Would Islamists say that Alisyn Camerota is "being provocative" -- by the way she dresses?

Does a bear...?
You know, first we have to Protect the Second Amendment from the Liberals and now we have to Protect the First Amendment from the same Traitorous Bastards.
Our tasks never end. Reagan had it right, we are only one Generation away from Tyranny.
Remember, you can’t have a First Amendment without having a Second Amendment.
Same line as for the Baltimore riots: “No one is saying these people are justified in shooting innocent people, but if you think about how mad they are at how racist our society is to them, they’re totally justified in shooting innocent people.”
Laying the blame on Pamela Geller for the attacks is akin to laying the blame on woman for being raped. I’m surprised I haven’t heard this comparison.
So does Alisyn think that if a woman dresses somewhat provocatively, or walks alone at night, or drinks too much, that it’s her fault if she’s raped? Someone may want to ask her.
