The professional Islamophobe wrote this on her blog yesterday [emphasis added]:
Few bloggers or journalists have broken as many stories as Atla [sic] has. I source everything. I stand by my work.
Her claim is puzzling because, as Media Matters has highlighted in detail, Geller makes shit up. All. The. Time. It's her job.
Here's a for instance:
Geller runs with fake Obama quote from fabricated Columbia thesis. After an August 25 post on the blog Jumping in Pools claimed that Obama attacked the Constitution and Founders in his Columbia thesis, right-wing media ran with the “report,” despite the fact that it was tagged as “satire.” In an October 23 post, Geller wrote, “EXCERPTS FROM OBAMA'S COLUMBIA THESIS REVEALS AMERICA'S WORST NIGHTMARE IS IN THE OVAL OFFICE.” She added that the writings revealed “an America hater.” She also posted the claim on her twitter feed. Geller later posted an update to her blog that stated: “I am looking for the link for the ten pages .........and I can't find it. But he did say this very thing.” Her blog post has since been taken down.
That's right. Geller mistakenly sourced her blog post to a right-wing satire.
Here's another classic:
In an August 4, 2009 column, Geller claimed that according to a “digital forensic examination specialist” called “Techdude,” the birth certificate Obama posted on his fightthesmears.com website was a “forgery.” She further stated that there is “something on Obama's birth certificate” that “he does not want us to see” and that “there is know way of knowing” whether “all the documentation on Obama's birth certificate and citizenship is in order.”
That one speaks for itself.
And remember in June when Geller held a Muslim-bashing rally in New York City and, citing no sources, she claimed 8,000 people showed up,. That was weird because New York Newsday pegged the crowd at about 350.
And then in August Geller hyped another Muslim-bashing rally and she originally blogged that 40,000 people showed up, but again forgot to cite a single source, which was weird because the Wall Street Journal, relying on a police source, reported the crowed as about 1,500. (Geller was only off by 38,500)
And don't forget these Geller gems:
Geller falsely claimed Farrakhan, Ayers and Wright visited White House
Geller absurdly claimed Obama administration wearing purple as sign of solidarity with SEIU
