Anybody here have info on "Pam Geller"?
A right-wing friend of my mother's just sent her an email which had a horrible rant this Geller creature wrote that actually compared President Obama to Hitler, and implies that Obama's policies will lead us directly to nazism. I've picked up on the fact that Geller herself, ironically, may have neo-Nazi links. What do you know? I want to help my mom create a good response to this.

What makes it even more despicable is that this message was targeted to senior citizens(my mother fits that category, but don't worry, she could still run a government if she had to).

Anything people have on this ghoul would be helpful.

4. Maybe dial-up is difficult for the poster, or
maybe the computer's not that good.

Maybe googling is difficult for the poster.

Did that request upset your world?

Gee..........................

9. Gee, but I recognize the poster as a constant critic.
That's all. You can think whatever you want, and even believe it. I'm a bit more suspicious.

12. What does that mean "I recognize the poster as a constant critic"?
Edited on Sun Jul-26-09 10:16 PM by Ken Burch
I'm looking for as much stuff as I can on this fascist nutcase. Why assume there's some nefarious intent here?

This is an ANTIFASCIST thread, for God's sake!

And what's so terrible about being a "critic" anyway"?

15. Then LOOK for it instead of suggesting what's going on. Do your due
Edited on Sun Jul-26-09 10:28 PM by babylonsister
diligence, then go for it.

Your opinion is cherished, but so are links from credible sources.

What the hell are you so angry about here? I have no idea why this thread would have offended you.

22. I'm not being lazy...just asking my fellow DU'ers for a tiny bit of help
Again, why the hostility? You have no reason to be disrupting this thread or to be posting abusive responses to it.

28. Maybe you need to ask the person who wrote this,
on your own thread, why he did? Just think! Someone might be able to inform you!

What a concept on a discussion board.

29. Give it a rest, sister. You've got no reason to be attacking me.
And if you do it once more, you go on ignore.

if I'm interfering. It won't happen again. Ignore works, too.

37. Look, I'll accept your apology
but why wouldn't you let up on the whole "look it up yourself" thing? I have looked up stuff myself, I was just looking for additional sources. Not EVERYTHING is on the internet everywhere.

14. See, I don't ever look at names -
I get the subject, and follow that.

So, you're suspicious of this particular DUer?

OK, that's understandable.................

13. Why the anger? Of course I can google
I'm trying to get info to help discredit a fascist nutcase. Since when is THAT a bad thing?
Chill.

35. I wasn't talking to you.
I just thought I'd let Babylonsister know there's a more succinct way of both making her point and answering your question. If I had something to say to you, I'd respond to the OP.

36. Thanks for the clarification
Edited on Sun Jul-26-09 11:16 PM by Ken Burch
I still don't know why anyone would respond to this thread with a "screw you, look it up yourself" attitude. What harm was I doing by asking for help?

And why would anybody question my motives?

There was never any possible way that this thread could harm DU or be an attack on anyone within it.

41. Your display of ambiguous hostility is even more so.
Will you just come right out and say what you're angry about here? I started this thread with honorable intend, and you're sniping for no obvious reason.

5. More
Today's post is basically about how Barack Obama is the tool of Colombian paramilitary drug cartels, Hugo Chavez and Al Qaeda. (Wait, actually, every post is about that.) But her big claim to internet fame came when she posted a video blog entry while wearing a bikini back in the summer of '06. See, she was in Israel, and she felt it was important to illustrate the fact that although the scrappy little underfunded self-defense outfit of Israel was in the throes of a bloody war with a colossal superhuman enemy no mortal thought they could ever beat, she wasn't yet being forced to don a burka. "They haven't declared Sharia law yet!" she says. Oh, please go watch this. Her accent is SO PRICELESS.

17. You probably would have been better off doing a google, showing a few pictures,
providing a few links (all that is context) and giving your description of this person, and then soliciting information. Jog their memories, don't make them do your work for you.

As written, it does come off like 'drama.' You may not have had that intent, but accidents happen.

18. Drama was SO not my intent.
Edited on Sun Jul-26-09 10:31 PM by Ken Burch
And I didn't post anything because I didn't want to disseminate any of the filth I'd already found about this woman on DU.

The last thing I would ever have wanted was to give Frau Geller a bigger audience.

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

20. I did not say it was--I just said it came off that way.
Nothing wrong with a "Know thy enemy" post. This creature has flown beneath my radar thus far. You're not giving someone an audience if you frame their behavior as disgusting and dispicable. At best, you're recruiting pitchfork and torch bearers.

23. Well, I wasn't saying you had said it was, merely clarifying that it wasn't my intent
The line I was trying to walk here was to ask for sources and info without giving this woman greater exposure.

27. Give her exposure--of the negative sort. After all, if no one knew Hitler by reputation, his name
wouldn't inspire revulsion.

21. She's an asshole
An incorrigible attention hound who'll do anything to get noticed. Remember how Katherine Harris campaigned for the Senate in profile, so she looked like a pair of talking tits? That's Pam. She'll trade on her body, her brash persona, her willingness to outrage, whatever it takes. Plus, she's a bored housewife with too much money and little to do, so she's got plenty of time. If she's still got them there, check out the videos on her site, you'll see what a vapid, needy meathead she is.

25. OI got that email from a cousin
and I email him back that the RW should be a bit more selective about who it championed as a spokesperson, then linked to the Nazi groups she speaks to.

I also mentioned Godwin's rule. Whoever mentions Hitler first, loses.
