Ring of Fire: Anti-Muslim Activist Nut Wanted Violence in Texas

Earlier this week, two men were killed after initiating an armed attack outside an art show showcasing cartoon depictions of the prophet Mohammed in Garland, Texas. The organizer of the event, anti-Muslim activist Pamela Geller, is now making the media rounds expressing how “right” she is about Muslims worldwide. When you dig down, however, you can see that she got exactly what she wanted in Garland.

Ring of Fire’s Sam Seder and author Cliff Schecter discuss this.

another grifter has found a way to appeal to the low-information population and grab the cash...doesn't matter to her if people die...so long as she is not one of the dead...

Public figure, blah blah blah. But it's still libelous.

As a professional broadcaster, he should make the effort to stop that annoying habit.

I find him almost impossible to listen to when he keeps interjecting with that silly sound ...
