The 7 Conservatives Who Are Standing Up To Anti-Islam Pam Geller

[DonViejo]

After two gunmen were shot dead on Sunday while attempting to storm an event celebrating cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, many of the nation's prominent talking heads felt compelled to take a side on the work of anti-Islam activist and conspiracy theorist Pam Geller.

For many on the right, this was a no brainer: pundits at Fox News and National Review, as well as blogs like RedState and Hot Air, defended Geller's event and slammed liberals for supposedly blaming the victim. At best, she was a courageous free speech activist; at worst, a "provocateur."

For her part, Geller has repeatedly called out "the Left" for caving in to "savages" on the issue of free speech. But several high profile conservatives have made it clear they don't think too much of her cartoon contest, either.

Here are seven of the more prominent — and surprising — examples:

Bill O'Reilly

Bill Donahue

Geller may hold the distinction of being the only person to unite the one-man Catholic League, Bill Donahue, with any secular liberal, on any issue.

Donald Trump

Martha MacCallum

Which brings us to Martha MacCallum, the Fox host who pressed Geller to answer her conservative critics on Tuesday. In response to Trump's line about "taunting" Muslims, Geller ended up comparing herself to civil rights icon Rosa Parks.

Rev. Franklin Graham

Greta Van Susteren

1. You know what they say about broken clocks.

They're still right, twice a day.

Or as the Rude Pundit would say -

"Well fuck us all with a surprise stick."

2. That must mean it's now credible.

After all, it wouldn't be credible if it just came from
the human left.
