Breitbart ran with it. Use any search engine of your choice; plenty of people on the right made an issue out of it.<br /><br />Islamophobia is cultivated by the right to agitate and motivate the base, as a key issue to get them to act. Gay marriage isn't the hot button that it once was; they've cried wolf too often, and it does't work very well anymore.<br /><br />For that reason alone, it merited being covered here. Islamophobia is something that is ginned up over and over, by the likes of Beck, and too many others to name.<br /><br />It is the right wing 'boogeyman de jour'. The birther conspiracy is still hot in a few pockets of deliberate ignorance, mostly in the South. But absent that the right had to manufacture a fresh conspiracy to be the red meat - or is it the white meant or dark meat, given this turkey of a lie?<br /><br />That people on the right believe this crap is too evident in the positions of the current crop of GOP presidential losers as well. "None of the above" is faring consistently better than any of the names. But playing to this Islamophobia and falsifying crap about sharia law is big political manipulation business.<br /><br />So, NO, Anonymous, it was perfectly appropriate to write abou it here. I can see how Geller is an embarassment - but really she is no worse than Bachmann or Cain or Gingrich or many of the other nut jobs who lie through their teeth.<br /><br />Hah! I wonder if Bachmann will be on the Sunday morning talk circuit, using this story as a talking point?dog gonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151618317070878675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-7209339132601325362011-11-25T03:55:57.708+01:002011-11-25T03:55:57.708+01:00The only thing stupider than Geller's idiotic ...The only thing stupider than Geller's idiotic piece was you making a big deal out of it and posting it.

Well, guess what, genius? If we all hunted there wouldn't be ANY game animals in fairly short order. Until a way is devised to get everyone off of the meat habit (and survive for more than a few years) we will be eating meat. <br /><br />Are you actually worried more about the slaughter of livestock than you are about, say, four young people who got shot in the head by some idiot with hurt feelinz and teh gunz?democommiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714733977927594559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-75678178132307841032011-11-25T02:47:47.456+01:002011-11-25T02:47:47.456+01:00Now, Democommie, weren't you going on about ye...Now, Democommie, weren't you going on about yearning for a pig product?
