The Leftist "Media Matters" calls for Pamela Geller to be denied TV coverage
We read:
"Numerous mainstream media outlets have recently hosted right-wing "Atlas Shrugs" blogger Pamela Geller to discuss the controversy surrounding a proposed Islamic community center set to be built blocks away from Ground Zero.
However, Geller's history of outrageous, inflammatory and false claims, particularly when it comes to issues related to Islam, demonstrate that she cannot be expected to make accurate statements and should not be rewarded with a platform on national television.

They go on to quote quite an encyclopedia of things she has said, most of which seem either factual or defensible to me but which they believe show her as uttering "hate speech". They seem quite grieved that she as a Jew has spoken scornfully of "Foxy" Foxman and his anti-Christian ADL
There is no doubt that she is one outspoken lady. I think we need more like her. She actually gets airtime on the mainstream media, which is very hard for anyone as opposed to Islam as she is.

Reading through some of the litany against her, I was struck not by the lack of facts she utters, but by the lack of real push-back. She says outrageous things, and people point at her and say "that's outrageous," not "that's not true!"
There is a difference. Things can be outrageous without being untrue, and untrue without being outrageous.
However, she also seems to have enough "conspiracy nut-job" in her claims to be easily dismissed by the left, while still allowing her access to the media for "balance."
I'm not all that familiar with Ms. Geller's statements, but is it surprising that the Left dismisses and demonizes everyone/anyone who disagrees with them? And if factual and truthful statements were the standard, no one on the Left would ever be allowed to speak. When you control the MSM, (as the Left does) which is still the main source of information for many people, it's very easy to make someone or something appear as you wish them to appear.
Because it is still very effective, the Left continues to use one of their most basic tactics, which is to say and do anything they want, then simply blame it on their enemies. This does not show the intelligence of the Left, but the profound ignorance and weakness of the people.
It's also refreshing to see that the Right has a few people who aren't afraid to speak their mind, even though the Left has us "greatly" outnumbered when it comes to "verbal bomb-throwers".
The fact that the left wants her silenced says enough, it says she's speaking the truth and they don't want you to hear it because the truth is incompatible with their agenda...
