The Daily Beast: “When Donald Trump Accused Pamela Geller of ‘Taunting’ Muslims”

75

In light of Donald Trump’s ongoing comments concerning Muslims, the Daily Beast is revisiting Trump’s vicious criticisms of me post-Garland. Gideon Resnick’s article is not terrible, which is saying a lot. The bar is so low for these smear rags that if your takeaway is “not horrible,” or “it could have been much worse,” it’s almost a rave review.

It’s funny how the left can see hypocrisy on the right, but is blind as a bat when it comes to its own crippling hypocrisy. A hunchback can’t see his own hunch ….

Resnick did miss a couple of pearls, such as Trump doubling down and calling me an”obnoxious blowhard” and a nobody who’s “starting trouble.”

Story continues below advertisement

“The country has enough problems and it doesn’t need an obnoxious blowhard like Pamela Geller starting trouble when there is no need for it.”

“When Donald Trump Accused Pamela Geller of ‘Taunting’ Muslims,” By Gideon Resnick, The Daily Beast, December 8, 2015
The GOP frontrunner has become synonymous with Islamophobia, but mere months ago he criticized a prominent anti-Islam activist for antagonizing Muslims.

A few months before Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump spewed Islamophobic hate speech, he accused anti-Islam activist Pamela Geller of needlessly antagonizing Muslims.

On May 4 of this year, Trump tweeted: “The U.S. has enough problems without publicity seekers going out and openly mocking religion in order to provoke attacks and death. BE SMART.”

His declaration was in response to the news that two men attempted to shoot up the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas during a “Draw the Prophet” event organized by Geller’s American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI).

Geller and her group, which has been labelled by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an “anti-Muslim hate group,” defended her First Amendment rights in the face of violence.

“Freedom of speech is under violent assault here,” Geller defiantly said at the time.

Donald Trump, the presidential candidate, would seemingly agree—he’s spoken a great deal about “political correctness” and his belief that free speech is under attack. But pre-candidate Donald Trump apparently felt otherwise.

“It looks like she’s just taunting everybody. What is she doing?” he told Fox & Friends. “Drawing Mohammed and it looks like she’s actually taunting people. You know, I’m one that believes in free speech, probably more than she does. But what’s the purpose of this?”

And now as Trump openly attempts to restrict the rights of Muslims, Geller holds a grudge and remains unconvinced of his anti-Islamic credentials.

“Trump denounced our free speech event,” Geller told The Daily Beast. “For all his braggadocio about opposing jihad and stopping Muslim immigration, he appears to have no understanding of the necessity of standing up to efforts to bully us into silence and to force us at gunpoint to accept Sharia restrictions on the freedom of speech.”

She added: “Our Garland event was responding to the jihad murders of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists in Paris. Trump would apparently have us kowtow and submit, and self-censor our words to please Muslims, in the face of those murders.”

Interestingly, however, Geller’s solution for dealing with Islamic terrorism is almost the same as Trump’s. AFDI’s platform—written after the Boston Marathon bombings—calls for the “profiling of Muslims at airports,” surveillance and inspection of mosques, and an “immediate halt of immigration by Muslims into nations that do not currently have a Muslim majority population,” which includes the United States.

Sounds familiar. But because she cannot endorse a candidate who “doesn’t understand the importance of the freedom of speech,” Geller said she supports Ted Cruz.

Here’s the AFDI 18 point platform in defense of freedom announced post-Boston bombing in 2013.

Trump isn’t restricting the rights of any American Muslim.
There’s no reason America can’t block any group of people, for any reason, from entering the US.

Donald Trump and Pamela Geller are the two prominent voices of reason in the war Islam has declared against us.
It would be a great loss for them to denigrate each other.

You must not be paying attention: Jeb is not very high in the polls. But it’s a typical Trump-cultist response to claim that anyone who doesn’t support Donald the Great HAS to be a Jeb supporter.

Jeb’s real supporters are now aiming to knock out every alternative to Trump or Jeb — figuring that people who are put off by Trump’s bluster and crudeness and inconsistencies and history of supporting Democrats will go with Jeb.

Trump cultists have already squeezed out some of the better alternatives and have done their best to make people think the nominee could only ever be Jeb or Trump. So in a year when we had an unusually broad and deep field of candidates, a blow-hard poseur and his uncritical fans made it all about him and his ego and his wealth.

Whether you support Jeb or not is irrelevant. The establishment have already selected him as the candidate who will go up against Hillary. No matter what Jeb’s poll numbers, they are sticking with Jeb. The other candidates are only there to act as splitters and split the non-Jeb vote. Half of them have been bought and paid for by the Jeb campaign on that understanding. That’s why there is such a ridiculous number of candidates. And that is why Trump has gone after Jeb so ruthlessly and effectively.

There are no alternatives to Trump. Cruz can’t win. Partly because Cruz only appeals to a narrow demographic. But partly because the Republican primary elections have been rigged by the GOP establishment in order to make it impossible for Cruz to win.

The UAE has been featured by Pamela as standing against the jihad threat. They are friendly to the US and have to fight terrorism in their small country constantly. Many people vacation there and do business with the UAE–Dubai or Abu Dhabi. I think Trump was probably given bad info on Garland from someone he trusted. Maybe like Cruz might have been tricked? Why did Cruz sign the Corker bill which gave Iran everything? Everything–including the release of funds–and removed the Senate’s Constitutional protocols and rights in ratifying treaties. Neither candidate is saying why they did what they did about those things. So we are left with looking at what they do over time–whether they’re consistent on their policies and platforms. I was disappointed that Cruz said he did not have the policy of halting immigration by Moslems… but then he was involved with a bill that puts the brakes on immigration in certain ways. Messy business, politics.

Trump is doing something much better than making Pamela a sandwich. He is stopping all Islamic immigration into the USA, making sharia law an election issue, closing down mosques that preach Jihad, telling the truth about the lying media that always attack Pamela, exposing the corrupt establishment politicians, attacking political correctness, and massively expanding the Overton window so that Americans will have free speech again. That’s much better than a sandwich.

Some of the better Republican candidates have already been squeezed out by the Trump cult, which probably owes a lot to his fans’ fantasy that a TV celebrity speaks for them and really cares about them.

Dear Obnoxious Blowhard;

I can’t prove it, so you are just going to have to take my word for it.

But I was thinking the exact same thing. This is a perfect example of the “Pot calling the Kettle Black” adage.

In other words, who’s the blowhard now? Although I do agree that we should definitely scrutinize Muslims, foreign, and domestic, a hell of a lot more than we do now. And completely, and absolutely do away with “Gun Free Zones.”

The good thing to come out of times like these is we learn where our family and friends stand on the important issues, like freedom of speech and the right to protect ourselves.
I don’t expect much out of anyone these days, it would be nice for some of the people who make a living afforded them by the first amendment to understand its importance and stand up for others when they are attacked for nothing more than exercising the same right.

While she deserves an apology, he can’t make one. Not apologising for anything is Trump’s trademark this election. If Pamela forces the issue, Trump will have no choice but to double down on his earlier comments. So I recommend just letting it drop. Trump has already made it up to Pamela in other ways by making her policies the centre of his campaign.

Pamela : how Islam got here and how to contain it

It took ~ 100 years to plan and execute promotion of Islam. West must study the plan, then reverse engineer it to survive
Oil enriched muslems whilst depleting western economies

Proliferation of mosques and Imams in the west
Teaching materials and madrassas provided
Freedom of the internet to communicate
Hawala enable covert money transfers
Political Correctness Disease

What matters is for everyone to focus on protecting the parts of the West which wants to keep its culture and push back to stop the creeping rot and contain Islam ; Trump blows hot and cold to suit his ratings; I am hopful he would be controllable on a ticket with Cruz.

I’ve been reading all the comments, as well, of course, a Pam’s excellent article; and it’s been a revelation to me (since I often don’t have time to read all my emails) that Trump was foolish enough as to criicize Pamela for her event in Texas. I truly hope that he finds a way to smooth over his “shoot from the lip” criticism and then join her in all future endeavors. They can accomplish so much togther rather than apart and on unfriendly terms. OTOH, perhaps he considers any open embrace of Pamela “dangerous” to his political standing & future ambitions. Damn!

They are both HUGE MENTORS of mine and the fore front against ISLAM. The submission ideology. I PERSONALLY WILL KILL FOR PROTECTION, AND DIE BEFORE I HAVE ANYONE TELL ME I HAVE TO SUBMIT TO ANYTHING! ESPECIALLY ISLAM OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE INSANE ASYLUM OF BEING MUSLIM OR SHARIA. No one other than Pamela and Trump are going to be better for this / our cause. Surely, they will come together soon, if they havent already and hopefully keep this ball rolling toward our peace of mind, knowing the muslim problem will be dealt with one way or another. I dont see any other way to stop islamazation of our America other than having ALL MUSLIMS deported back to where they came from. Hey, maybe then, and ONLY THEN, will they find a place to be happy??
Yea right!! It does not matter where they are, it is in their being to kill and hate no matter where they are! So please allow us to open the door for all muslims to leave.. And dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way OUT!! As CHRISTIANS, have reached the point of knowing this is the only way to regain our peace and peace of mind and to be able to CONTINUE OUR WAY OF LIFE!

Will Pamela Geller (or Robert Spencer) now defend a FELLOW AMERICAN–another very public figure like themselves–who is currently receiving active death threats from Islamic Supremacists, as well as death wishes online from people and activists on the Left, specifically for his stand against Moslem immigration and his public advocacy of mosque shut downs, and his proposed action policy against ISIS? No. Of course not. Because this, after all, is adult life, and adult life is merely an extension of high school–and nursing grudges is what high school is ALL about.

Will Pamela Geller (or Robert Spencer) now defend a FELLOW AMERICAN from being banned by the UK for speaking up about Islam–just as she and Spencer were for the same reason? No. Of course not. Because this, after all, is adult life, and adult life is merely an extension of is high school–and nursing grudges is what high school is ALL about.

While Trump deserved her ire at the time of the Garland event (unless he was given false information about her and the purpose of the event), now it seems Geller is more than ready to throw a fellow spokesperson who is standing against the threat of Islam, under the bus, just because he insulted her pride. Pamela acts as though she doesn’t live in NYC where insults are a dime a dozen, and routinely employed for any convenient reason.

Pamela and Robert have yet to learn the lesson that BAD publicity is actually GOOD publicity, and that it can be worked for total advantage–if you know how to handle it.

For example, she could have said in response on national television: “Like many Americans, Mr. Trump apparently does not yet fully understand the threat that Islam poses to America. Art and cartoons are one way for people to openly discuss that threat. In this country we have freedom to hold such discussions, and to learn what we can about the root of that threat. I hope Mr. Trump will join our discussion.”

That would have been both a shutdown of the criticism AND an invitation to Trump to reconsider and find out more. And after all the attacks, here and in Europe, her words would be golden.

But Pamela goes on AND ON with her soap opera stance, blowing Trump’s thoughtless and misinformed remarks completely out of proportion–and making herself look exactly as he described her to be, in the process. This entire debacle hurts the cause of liberty.

It should have been handled with grace and intelligence instead, by Geller and Spencer, and they both would have come out as authorities in the field to the “average Joe.” Now it’s devolved into a pissing contest, but only Geller and Spencer are playing. The “wah wah wah–Trump called me a bad name and doesn’t support free speech” meme of Geller’s, and Spencer’s “I wouldn’t forgive Donald Trump if he to me on blended knee, begging my forgiveness” is so incredibly immature, it’s unimaginable in today’s world where the stakes are so high.

Geller and Spencer have been in the anti-liberty political crosshairs for a long time. The Islamic Supremacists and the Left are now laughing their heads off at this much ado about NOTHING. It gives them the advantage, like shooting fish in a barrel. They are having an absolute party about it–and it will continue because they’ve discovered Geller and Spencer’s “hot button”. The defeat of the counter-jihad is on display. There is not a united response and that the troops are fighting amongst themselves. And it was was handed to them on a silver platter.

I looooooooooooove Mrs. Geller! I also support TRUMP. I would love to see them agree to disagree or discuss and come together on the issues they AGREE about. I also am very fond of Ted Cruz, if there were say…a TRUMP/CRUZ ticket with Pam Geller very close by, I for one would be THRILLED!!! (I have a unique perspective being a mom of a young son who is 1/2 Pakistani raised by me, my son, who is agnostic, but raised primarily Christian/Baptist/Catholic and I am VERY interested n keeping the fight OUT OF AMERICA!!! I do not want my son to be collateral damage.) I fear Radicalization and Sharia Law every day, because we would be labeled Apostate and slaughtered. The average American cant wrap their minds around what the Hard-line Muslims are capable of. Liberals love to scream propaganda when it is actually a true level and representation of Islam. I feel that Donald Trump has also been having to wrestle with that inconvenient truth and I would hope that at least behind closed doors he gives you a sincere apology, and soon,because you two together are one hell of a force to be reckoned with!

Pamela Geller is a heroine. We know that because she has demonstrated her willingness to live her principles.

We need a President who: has demonstrated his willingness to act to fight illegal entry into the United States, by opposing the establishments of both parties, to defeat the Gang of 8 amnesty bill, consistently opposes encroaching Islamic supremacism, was instrumental in insuring the 2nd Ammendment right to keep and bear arms in District of Columbia v. Heller, and led the successful fight to guarantee the supremacy of the U.S. Constitution, Federal and State Legislatures and American voters over international treaties and supra-national agencies in Medellin v. Texas.

When a supremacist ideology, like that of the Garland would-be assassins, claims a right to murder Americans for exercising their right to free speech, acting as Pamela Geller, Bosch Fawstin, and Geert Wilders did is a moral imperative. The alternative is to honor the 1st Amendment only in the breach, not the observance, to submit to the demands of Shariah because Shariah advocates claim that not submitting ‘provokes’ them.

I think Trump needs to reach out to Pam and apologize for his past mistake. He is obviously on much the same page as Pam at this point.

Pamela Geller: Picture a father worried about his children’s safety because they live in a neighborhood going to the dogs. Now, picture an activist calling out the gangstas and druggies in the neighborhood in a way that to his (the father’s) mind is sure to bring more problems to that neighborhood.
The keys to what Donald said are the first five words and the last six words, which put together simply tells us he’s a father scared for his kids, an American concerned about the issues in his country, and didn’t know how to deal with it. Everything else in-between those words is just the rough New Yorker talking.
I salute your work alerting this country to the danger it is in, and I’m not calling you a rabble rouser, and Donald Trump is himself many times a jerk, and a blowhard (and here I’m gonna vote for him..lol) but you see, he’s also a New Yorker to the bone, and I’ve lived in New York state and met a lot of city folks, and that’s just the way a lot of them talk. even New Yorkers who are Ivy Leaguers. Just fuggedboutet, okay ?
He’s coming around to your way of thinking.
The one we worry about should be the one who doesn’t know when he’s wrong, and has been stuck in a way of thought all his life. like the freakin’ muzzies.
That one is not just blowhard, he’s a zombie blowhard.
