Pamela Gellar: CPAC has been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood and they are enforcing Sharia Law

This is some serious crazy:

Pamela Geller: CPAC is “enforcing the Shariah”
By Jillian Rayfield

Anti-Islam bloggers blame Grover Norquist for their CPAC snubs

<...>

Add “CPAC vs. Islamophobes” to the growing list of internal conservative squabbles.

“What are they doing at CPAC? Essentially, they are enforcing the Shariah,” said anti-Islam blogger Pamela Geller. “Under the Shariah, the blasphemy laws, you cannot say, you cannot offend, you cannot criticize and you cannot insult Islam. That is effectively what they’re doing, they are enforcing the Shariah.”

Right Wing Watch reports that Geller was speaking on “The Janet Mefferd Show” about her recent snub from this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, at which she usually holds an unofficial panel. “This year I could not get an event, I was banned,” she said, though also noted that in the past, “I wasn’t warmly welcomed because of the influence of what can only be described as Muslim Brotherhood facilitators or operatives like [ex-Bush staffer and Muslim] Suhail Khan and [anti-tax conservative ] Grover Norquist.”

[Cooley Hurd]

1. Her ICD-9's on file at her shrink's office must be in book-form...

She is seriously loony!!

[bluestate10]

12. Her shrink surely uses a company to provide backup storage for the abundance of

notes and hours of analysis, not to mention the alcohol bills the shrink runs up after her sessions. Oh, I didn't mention the shrink's payments for sessions to his or her shrink.

[Cooley Hurd]

13. She is responsible for the new swimming pools that each practitioner has built...

[nolabear]

21. I'd rather work retail.

[47of74]

76. Yeah, I'm guessing THESE....

...are the homes that all the various shrinks have been able to build thanks to her.

[L0oniX]

53. "Cloud" storage. n/t

[Swagman]

28. her shrink has had to get his own shrink

[brush]

52. She's the one behind the anti-Islam posters in the NYC subway in election run-up

She's also alleged to be associated with people who funded the anti-muslim video that sparked all the riots in the Middle East last fall — seriously out there on the right fringe. I still don't get why there was no investigation into how that video was funded. McCain and Graham never mentioned that in all their Susan Rice grandstanding. Makes you think it was all part of the right's campaign to damage the President before the election (October Surprise in September, anyone?).

[Lint Head]

2. This is wonderful!!! The GOP is self destructing. They are losing the Tea Baggin' crowd and the

major wing nuts. That is the majority of their base. All that are let are cynical right wing opportunists.

[bluemarkers]

47. She is correct about the application, but not the religion (rino)

If anyone

dares to besmersh the name of Reagan, Bush,

or dares to criticize the actions of Republican leadership

or dares to praise or give credit to any Democrat, liberal, progressive

or dares to work with anyone on the "other side"



You are Not Invited - You are a Republican In Name Only - You are a Terrorist (etc)

They have totally brainwashed the sheeple into thinking that any rational thought, logical thinking or objectivity is socialism, communism, liberalism and therefore unAmerican. The gop have somehow transformed the political party into some sort of quasi-religion. and that is why it is so frustrating talking to people who now truly believe they belong to the Party of God. The gop has turned into a cult.

(in my humble opinion, of course)

[The Wizard]

56. No longer a political party

but a cult.

[mwb970]

70. A religious cult underpinned by a criminal enterprise. /nt

[Faygo Kid]

3. She's definitely one of McCain's "wacko birds"

I love it when scum like her fights with scum like Norquist.

[Cleita]

4. That's hilarious.

That woman is a moron.

[bluestate10]

14. She is our friend when she is taking on other righties. We can deal with her after she

destroys them.

[Violet_Crumble]

62. No, she's no friend of anyone but her fellow rabid Muslim haters...

She's not just a rightie. She's a full-blown virulent bigot, every bit as revolting and full of hate as any frothing at the mouth antisemite. She's no friend of mine, not even for a microsecond...

[dbackjon]

65. Great point!

[Downwinder]

5. Thats what happens when abortion is your only issue.

[malaise]

6. Crash CPAC Pam and take

Orly with you.

[Cali_Democrat]

17. LOL

[malaise]

26. Bwaaaaaah hahahahahha

Spitting coffee

[Cali_Democrat]

29. You're drinking coffee?

I'm drinking beer and about to hit the sack.

Cheers!

[malaise]

30. Well you're in Cali

It's morning where I live.

[Aerows]

35. Oh my word....

And then I noticed McCain coming out, and totally lost it!!!!

You nearly caused me to take out my monitor and keyboard.

[jsr]

7. She needs professional help

[Canuckistanian]

8. OMG, that can only mean one thing

Chris Christie is an Islamist terrorist! And Grover Norquist is the new mullah!

Seriously, some should round these people up and put them in a rubber room with TVs playing nothing but Teletubbies.

[bluestate10]

9. Keep putting knives in each other's backs assholes. You make the job of building a sane country

easier when you do.

[KharmaTrain]

10. Paranoid Pam Strike Again...

...when the world doesn't comfort to your whacked out "theories", then everyone is part of the conspiracy.

It sure says something when you're too off the deep end for the great unhinged. I'm grateful she and Alex Jones never mated...

[JaneyVee]

11. Sharia Law? I'm more concerned about Scalia Law.

[WinstonSmith4740]

37. Oh, that's good.

I'm more concerned about Scalia Law.

I've got a friend who's convinced Sharia Law is going to be enforced here...can't wait to see him so I can use it! Thanks!

[L0oniX]

54. +1

[politicat]

15. Who is funding her?

She's running the anti-islam ad campaign on NYC buses. That ain't cheap.

ADL has branded her orgs as hate groups, so likely not the Zionist community.

Could the money be coming via Robert Spencer through the Greek Orthodox community, as a means of inciting the Cyprus issue?

I'm just not seeing clear connections, and Islamophobia is just not enough of a money spinner.

[Berlin Expat]

44. There was a report a couple of years ago......

This is from a report on Al Jazeera about the funding of Islamophobic groups in the US. It comes from a report called, "Fear, Inc."

A small group of foundations and wealthy donors are the lifeblood of the Islamophobia network in America, providing critical funding to a clutch of right-wing think tanks that peddle hate and fear of Muslims and Islam-in the form of books, reports, websites, blogs, and carefully crafted talking points that anti-Islam grassroots organizations and some right-wing religious groups use as propaganda for their constituency.

Some of these foundations and wealthy donors also provide direct funding to anti-Islam grassroots groups. According to our extensive analysis, here are the top seven contributors to promoting Islamophobia in our country:

Donors Capital Fund
Richard Mellon Scaife foundations
Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation
Newton D. & Rochelle F. Becker foundations and charitable trust
Russell Berrie Foundation
Anchorage Charitable Fund and William Rosenwald Family Fund
Fairbrook Foundation

57. Thanks. Downloaded the report.

138 pages. Good read

64. thank you for the

74. There's also this from NYT

The Man Behind the Anti-Shariah Movement

A confluence of factors has fueled the anti-Shariah movement, most notably the controversy over the proposed Islamic center near ground zero in New York, concerns about homegrown terrorism and the rise of the Tea Party. But the campaign’s air of grass-roots spontaneity, which has been carefully promoted by advocates, shrouds its more deliberate origins.

In fact, it is the product of an orchestrated drive that began five years ago in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, in the office of a little-known lawyer, David Yerushalmi, a 56-year-old Hasidic Jew with a history of controversial statements about race, immigration and Islam. Despite his lack of formal training in Islamic law, Mr. Yerushalmi has come to exercise a striking influence over American public discourse about Shariah.

Working with a cadre of conservative public-policy institutes and former military and intelligence officials, Mr. Yerushalmi has written privately financed reports, filed lawsuits against the government and drafted the model legislation that recently swept through the country — all with the effect of casting Shariah as one of the greatest threats to American freedom since the cold war.

The message has caught on. Among those now echoing Mr. Yerushalmi’s views are prominent Washington figures like R. James Woolsey, a former director of the C.I.A., and the Republican presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Michele Bachmann, who this month signed a pledge to reject Islamic law, likening it to “totalitarian control.”

81. Funding her?

Who's ultimately behind the current wave of Islamaphobia poisoning America? Shhhhh....whisper the name. I****l.

[OldDem2012]

16. The stupid has possessed this one. nt.

[AverageJoe90]

20. The Muslim Brotherhood is definitely an evil organization, no doubt, but.....

If Miss Geller really thinks she's doing the world a favor, she is terribly and sorely wrong.....not only is she doing this out of a hatred for Muslims(most of whom are NOT like the Brotherhood.), but her actions are also hurting the efforts of those who are genuinely investigating the actual misdeeds(and not imaginary fairy tales such as what Ms. Geller has cooked up!) of the MB.

[MrModerate]

22. Shockingly, even the CPAC organizers have standards . . . n/t

[TomClash]

23. From the brothers and sisters at the Southern Poverty Law Center . . .

http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/profiles/pamela-geller

In October 2010, Geller told The New York Times she was profoundly affected by the 9/11 attacks. After contributing essays to various websites that examined Muslim militancy, including Charles Johnson's Little Green Footballs, she launched her own website. She named her website "Atlas Shrugs" in honor of right-wing hero and self-described objectivist author Ayn Rand, a Geller idol whose 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged celebrates pure capitalism unrestrained by government regulation or social welfare measures. The unvarnished anti-Muslim stridency of Atlas Shrugs won followers; Geller republished the 2005 cartoons of Muhammad from the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, for example, when most other media demurred.

Johnson, a moderate conservative, later broke sharply with Geller, calling her an anti-Muslim "hatemonger." After Geller, who is Jewish, posted a critique of the Islamic halal practice of slaughtering animals for food in September 2010, Johnson pointed out that kosher practice is almost identical and observed, "My GOD she is stupid."

Geller began her evolution from blogger to public activist in 2007 when she joined Stop the Madrassa, a project of a group of intense anti-Muslim activists determined to block the opening of a secular public Arabic-English school, the Khalil Gibran International Academy, in Brooklyn, N.Y. The campaign was intended as an early stand in a planned nationwide movement to counteract the efforts of American Muslims to meld into American society, according to one of its leaders, prolific anti-radical Muslim polemicist Daniel Pipes. Though the school ultimately opened anyway, Stop the Madrassa's efforts to cast the school's widely admired founding principal, Dhabah "Debbie" Almontaser, as a radical extremist succeeded in pressuring her to resign.

. . .

Geller uses her website to publish her most revolting insults of Muslims: She posted (and later removed) a video implying that Muslims practiced bestiality with goats and a cartoon depicting the Muslim prophet Mohammad with a pig's face (observant Muslims do not eat pork). Geller also has denied the genocide of Bosnian Muslims by Serbian forces in Srebrenica – calling it the "Srebrenica Genocide Myth," even though the Serbian government itself issued a state apology for the massacre. She wrote, "Westerners are admitting to their role in something that didn't happen, and digging their own graves."

25. I love your second paragraph there

After Geller, who is Jewish, posted a critique of the Islamic halal practice of slaughtering animals for food in September 2010, Johnson pointed out that kosher practice is almost identical and observed, "My GOD she is stupid."

[TomClash]

38. She spews BS like Ann Coulter

I doubt she seriously believes most of what she says. She loves the limelight and craves power and money.

[alp227]

58. Indeed, I remember when she was on thom hartmann

on 9/12/11, Thom left her sputtering

[Swagman]

61. she said.."800 million Sihks killed by Islamists". she's nuts

[Douglas Carpenter]

24. as hard as it is to believe ..there are people too crazy for CPAC

[NewJeffCT]

27. heh heh heh

First, Sharia Law for CPAC, tomorrow for all of America!

[baldguy]

31. Frank Gaffney is worried about "this seditious totalitarian political program".

He is talking about the Tea Party, isn't he?

[hobbit709]

32. If she's not on something, she needs to be.

[Aerows]

34. Couldn't have said it better

She's a lunatic.

[Ikonoklast]

49. Rational people would laugh Geller off of the stage.

The ones taking her word as truth are the people needing Haldol, their logic circuits are faulty.

[Aerows]

33. Whack-a-doodle-do!!

Enforcing the Shariah?

[Botany]

36. You go Pam

Do not take this insult lying down ..... If I were you which I am not thank God
I would protest at the CPAC convention and demand to be heard.

[Aerows]

39. She's nuttier

Than a Planter's factory.

[Botany]

46. She is nucking futz!

Allen West and Sarah Palin are speaking but Pam is too crazy for even this group?

[mikeytherat]

72. Nuttier than squirrel poop.

mikey_the_rat

[SemperEadem]

40. or maybe...

you too miserable a human being to be around, so you aren't invited....

[Zambero]

41. All religious fundamentalism resembles Sharia Law

Regardless of the specific religious label affixed to it. The non-separation of church and state invariably brings oppressive and unjust laws into the societies that are afflicted by them. Geller still doesn't "get" that part, but suffice to say that her own brand of oppression parallels much of what she rails against. On the positive side, this absurd little schism helps to expose the whacko right for what it really is.

[mwb970]

71. +1000! /nt

[tanyev]

43. And Sarah Palin's speaking to them this year!

[Berlum]

45. The Whacko Whiners (R) are up to their usual FAIL

Why can't they all just try to act like Americans for a change?

[Ikonoklast]

48. Neocons reaping what they have sown.

May the Holy Wars escalate among them!

[LeftishBrit]

50. Grover Norquist is a Muslim Brotherhood operative? Who knew?

Not that I mind a circular firing squad on the Right; but still - that's worryingly crazy.

Pam Geller has links with British far-righties as well as their American counterparts:

51. "Shariah Law" still sounds like a female action movie star to me.

[sakabatou]

55. Call the white-coats!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

59. The RW is going to get a s much milage as they can out of the "Sharia Law"

boogie man. Glad to see they're turning it on themselves.

[abelenkpe]

60. Reminds me of my mom

So crazy!

[struggle4progress]

63. She spoke at CPAC last year. I guess they're tidying their hair this year

[Initech]

66. Words fail me.

[HiPointDem]

67. pamela geller: grew up in an upper-middle-class community on long island, attended a blue-ribbon

(wealthy) public school, hofstra university (private college). "ardent zionist"

financial analyst and "top-ranking business executive" of The New York Observer

david horowitz and robert spencer (jihad watch) associate.

she says blacks in south africa are genociding whites and supports england's fascist english defense league. contributer to 'human events', which promoted the 'black's are genetically inferior, their low iqs prove it' meme. anti-left.

she's a fascist and she's being paid to stir up the crazy.

[davidpdx]

68. She might as well be in a crowded theater yelling "fire"

That's exactly what these loons are doing when they start talking about Muslims and Shariah Law. The truth is they don't know shit about either. What I wish is someone would corner that loon with a video camera and start asking her questions about Shariah Law to show how fucking stupid and ignorant she is, and then post it on YouTube.

The international law class I had to take recently for my doctoral degree covered several different legal systems and one of them was Sharia Law. I actually found it to be the most interesting of all of them.

[mwb970]

69. Right-wing extremists don't want to hear her crap, so she calls them "Muslims".

That just about sums up the conservative movement, doesn't it?

[mikeytherat]

73. When CPAC says, "You're too crazy," this is like:

Getting kicked out of Metallica for being too much of an asshole

Getting kicked out of Guns-n-Roses because of your drug problem

mikey_the_rat

[frylock]

75. seems legit

[Warpy]

77. Whoa! Spot the loony!

Even the raging nutbars at the CPAC convention must be scratching their pointy microcephalic heads over this one.

Yes, they want all the restrictions on women that Shari'a law imposes, she got that part right. However, saying the whole thing has been co opted by the Muslim Brotherhood, who haven't even managed to fully co opt their own government at home.

Somebody help this poor woman. She needs a hug me coat, a quiet room, a rump full of antipsychotic drugs, and a lot of long talks with nice men in white coats.

[spanone]

78. such desperate, precious puppies.....will do/say anything for a biscuit

[muntrv]

79. Hey Pam! To quote Chris Rock: "I'm not afraid of Al Qaeda! I'm afraid of

AL CRACKER!"

And you, Pam, look like his woman.
