Is Geller the latest Newsmax columnist to go over the line?

December 15, 2009 12:02 pm ET by Terry Krepel

In addition to being an extraordinarily angry far-right blogger, Pam Geller is a columnist for Newsmax. While Geller seems to have slightly tempered what she writes in her Newsmax column, she's gone absolutely nuts on her own Atlas Shrugs blog, viciously smearing Obama.

From a Dec. 11 post:

Obama is pressuring Jews to "evacuate" from parts of Israel? And what Warsaw ghetto does the muhammadan president have in mind? I think I am gonna hurl.

The Jews will not go. The Jews will not submit to this century's nazis and Mansourian poser. No way, bloodsuckers. Not again. Never again.

From a Dec. 14 post:

It's as if the floodgates of hell have been thrown open. The moratorium on the holocaust is officially over and all the savages are free to incite, hate and destroy. Clearly those "Kick a Jew" days discussed here and here in schools are part of this growing evil Evil unleashed with an anti-semite in the White House.

From a Dec. 15 post:

Obama is bringing his jihad to Illinois. Has anyone asked the people of Chicago if they want KSM's soul mates in their state? Obama's treachery is breathtaking. A killer's paradise.

After its experiences with other columnists making extreme claims over the past few months -- John L. Perry advocating a military coup against Obama, Pat Boone calling for a "tenting" of the White House to kill the "varmints" within -- is Geller really the kind of columnist Newsmax wants to have? Or is Newsmax willing to allow Geller to be as disgusting and hateful as she wants to be on her blog as long as she tones it down for her column?

      Clearly, Ms. Geller is a zealous Jew and she views anyone, especially someone with a Muslim name, as a threat to her. I can understand being sensitive to being persecuted because you are different. My husband and daughters experience some discrimination because they are Jewish. But none of them is Zionist, and none of them is threatened by the President. The U.S. is the biggest supporter of Israel, and so we should expect to have some influence on them. I want to see Israel continue as a Jewish state, but if governable, contiguous territory is not given over to the founding of a Palestinian state, Israel will cease to exist in short period of time. Jews are not having as many children as the Muslims in Israel. If they give citizen/voter rights and representation to all ressidents of Israel, then the Palestinians will be able to gain control of the government and do away with the Jewish state. If they don't give equal rights/citizenship to the Muslim residents of Israel, then they are not being democratic. This is a very difficult situation, and I can understand why it would be upsetting to both sides. I want to see Israel continue to exist as the most democratic, well-off state in the Middle East. What must happen to make that happen. Israel can't keep fighting as it has in the past. A constant state of war is no way to live and prosper.

        This is why conservatives put on a good facade of seeming fearless and calling Dems chicken little.

        Fact is that conservatives live on fear and paranoia. Geller is the perfect example of this. You can feel the fear & loathing ooze from her statements.

          Yes, I can. I often get the impression from Glenn, too. I think he is so fearful of what Democrats will do because of what he would do if given the power and the chance to use it. I may be naive, but I don't really expect bad things to happen until they do, and even then, it surprises me. Glenn on the other hand, is egging it on. And Ms. Geller, she is stealing herself for the onslaught.

      No one seems to mind that they've given a sociopath a forum to spew this hatred??

      has Geller asked those of us who actually live in Illinois how we feel about the prison being used. By the way, Geller, the prison is across the state from Chicago!

      Also, Does Geller and the rest of the know nothings of the right, while keeping up the ongoing smear about Obama hating Jews, even realize how stupid they sound when everyone knows his Chief of Staff is a Jew!

      Mansourian poser.

      I suspect Manchurian is the word intended. However, this got my curiosity (poor kitty!) up, so I did a check on onelook.com (multiple dictionaries) and got a 'did you mean' with mansionary as the link. Meaning: Mansionary
      Man"sion*a*ry\, a. Resident; residentiary; as, mansionary canons.

      [Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, © 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc.]

      So, 'poser' and 'resident', and we're back into Birther territory. (Not, IMHO, a safe place to be)
