Anti-Islam Activist Pam Geller Compares Herself To Rosa Parks

After sparring with CNN's Alisyn Camerota the day before, anti-Islam activist Pam Geller on Tuesday came up against criticism on Fox News.

Geller was on third day of interviews after two gunmen were killed on Sunday while opening fire on a security officer at an event she organized in Garland, Texas. The gathering was a contest to draw the Prophet Muhammad.

Fox host Martha MacCallum noted that Geller has taken criticism from the staff of Charlie Hebdo and American conservatives such as Bill Donahue of the Catholic League. Donald Trump also called Geller's actions "DUMB!" and said her cartoon contest was just "taunting" people.

Geller brushed off Trump's critique, and then rolled out an analogy that left MacCallum reeling. "What would he have said about Rosa Parks?" Geller said. "'Rosa Parks should never have gone to the front of the bus. She's taunting people.'"

"No, no, no, where are you getting the Rosa Parks comparison?" MacCallum interrupted, before moving on.

In fact, a bag of dirt would have more self-respect than putrid Pamela. It boggles the mind to try and envision the moment of her birth when she was ladled up out of some witch's cauldron of vile goo.

There IS one amazing fact though (for me).
I never thought I would see a dumber-ass than Michelle Bachman.

People like this want to give an excuse for Christians to start being as war like as fundamentalist Muslims. This kind of shit is playing with fire and it could escalate things between Muslims and Christians to a major world war down the road.

i'm amazed and heartened to see this after Geller's odious stunt. It looked like the stunt was a success for her, but after seeing this maybe it will turn out to have backfired.

If Rosa Park's were a vacuous narcissistic moron with a psychotic unhinged hatred for Muslims.

All three of them do it depends on which group they are hating on. Trump and Donahue are now afraid because they never no what is coming their way with all of the hate they spew daily..

She may well be a wacko nut-job... but....

The central point that she is making is that we, as Americans, need to insure that we - as Americans - have the right to exercise our right to express ourselves. The 1st amendment is fundamental.

Now blast me.... god forbid someone disagrees on DU.
