Pamela Geller strikes back at NY Times for tying her to Oslo shooter
I still intend to examine the New York Times hit piece in some depth, but have been swamped with media requests today: I’ve done interviews with the BBC, NBC Nightly News (watch tonight), the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (will air tonight or tomorrow night), and a host of radio shows. The major media outlets, of course, are anxious to pour the blood of Anders Breivik’s victims on my hands — that that psychopath plagiarized the Unabomber and praised Barack Obama does not make them similarly avid to blame radical environmentalists or the President of the United States. In any case, I will get to the Times piece and others, but in the meantime, my colleague Pamela Geller strikes back hard here: “Pamela Geller strikes back at NY Times for tying her to Oslo shooter,” by Matthew Boyle in The Daily Caller, July 25:
Conservative blogger and anti-jihadist Pamela Geller told The Daily Caller it’s “outrageous” that she’s been “assign[ed] blame” for Oslo shooter Anders Behring Breivik’s actions.
“It’s like equating Charles Manson, who heard in the lyrics of Helter Skelter a calling for the Manson murders,” Geller said in an exclusive phone interview. “It’s like blaming the Beatles. It’s patently ridiculous.”…
In the manifesto, Breivik cites Geller and other anti-Jihadists as sources for his inspiration. The appearance earned Geller and company a lashing at the hands of The New York Times and many other mainstream media outlets. Reporters have scoured Breivik’s writings, in his manifesto and elsewhere, looking for a connection to anti-jihad activists like Geller.
Geller points out that while she and Jihad Watch’s Robert Spencer appear in Breivik’s manifesto, so do several influential historical thinkers. For instance, the New Yorker reports that Breivik cites Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Adam Smith. “Are they responsible too?” Geller asks.
Some bloggers also allege that one of Geller’s contributors, a writer named “Fjordman,” is really Breivik hiding behind a pseudonym. The Guardian has since disproved that accusation.
Geller also told TheDC that those allegations are not true. Fjordman is not Breivik, she says. Geller adds that she has not met or communicated with Breivik at all. Not ever.
“No dealings, no emails, no nothing,” Geller said. “He mentions me once in a 1,500 page ‘manifesto,’ and this is the tie? Does anyone see how completely ridiculous this whole thing is?
“This is a propaganda campaign and, if anything, it shows the true agenda of the media. I find it very revealing. It has nothing to do with me. Nothing.”
Geller added that the media-wide decision to label Breivik a conservative Christian doesn’t make sense. “He himself said he’s not a religious man,” Geller said “There’s nothing in Christianity that calls for this.”
Geller also told TheDC that she’s never advocated in favor of anything violent. “Nowhere in anything that I’ve ever written do I ever in any way promote violence,” she said. “I’m a human rights activist. I fight for freedom.”…
Moving forward, Geller hopes other Americans recognize what she says she has observed in the mainstream media. “This to me is naked agenda bias,” Geller said. “Clearly the media is no longer taking a passive role, or even objective reporting. The media has become an activist voice for supremacists and the far left.”
You can say that again.
