Think Progress: Popular hate blogger Pam Geller has received scrutiny in recent days as the public became aware that the right-wing terrorist in Norway, Anders Behring Breivik, had praised her blog and thoroughly cited her writing in his political manifesto. After a number of blogs made the connection, as well as the New York Times, the Atlantic, and other major outlets, Geller became incensed and began lashing out at her critics. In a post defending herself yesterday, Geller — who has called Obama “President Jihad” and claimed that Arab language classes are a plot to subvert the United States — reached a new low. Geller justifies Breivik’s attack on the Norwegian Labour Party summer youth camp because she says the camp is part of an anti-Israel “indoctrination training center.”
She goes on to post a picture of a gathering at the camp where Breivik committed his mass murder. Under it she writes: “Note the faces which are more Middle [sic] Eastern or mixed than pure Norwegian.” Well, we note two things... first, what this horrible person espouses is pretty typical of right-wingers. They are a truly dangerous and disgusting bunch. And second, as a Jew one would think Geller would realize that people who respond to "pure" racial rhetoric would just as easily bake her in an oven just because she's Jewish. In fact, they already have. She would do well to rediscover her humanity before she helps it happen again.
