Anti-Islam blogger to hold pro-Wal-Mart rally

A flier from Atlas Shrugs blogger, Pamela Geller

Obsessive anti-Islam blogger Pamela Geller is having another New York rally in support of bigotry and insanity. This time, though, there's a twist: She is still protesting the imaginary "Ground Zero Mosque," but she also wants everyone to know that she's in favor of Wal-Mart.

The giant retail chain that has successfully held the lead in America's race to the bottom would like to expand into New York City. The City Council is against the idea. Geller, obviously, supports Wal-Mart, because liberals dislike Wal-Mart, and liberals love Muslims, and Muslims hate America, and so therefore Wal-Mart is good and loves America.

The beautiful thing about her little flier is how confusing and incoherent it is. It is anti-Mosque, and pro-Wal-Mart, but the Wal-Mart happy face is wearing a veil, and there is an Islamic crescent in place of the style guide-confounding hyphen?

Also, Geller is the lady who decided to loudly boycott Dunkin' Donuts because they had an ad in which spokesperson Rachael Ray wore a scarf that resembled a keffiyeh. Surely Wal-Mart has sold something with a crescent on it at some point. Look, you can buy a Koran for $5! And there's even a Spanish version, for illegal immigrant terror anchor babies!

3. Radio ads here have started a media blitz.
Wal-Mart has been trying for a lot of years to get approval to build in NYC. So far without success. The ads urge the public to call and write their City Council members to allow them. Looks like a lot of money is being spread around in this new push. Maybe some in Geller's direction?

5. Any time Wal-Mart is mentioned, I try to provide a link
http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/77/walmart.html

A great story from Fast Company magazine from a while back revealing just how anti-American business Wal-Mart really is.

6. Geller is a creepy mass of Mary Kay and carbon that wishes she had Ann Coulter's public forum.

7. Maybe she's lobbying to get a job as a greeter there.

But Wal*Mart lets Muslims shop there, so I don't think she would be qualified for that.
Evidently the KKK isn't hiring at the moment.

10. She'll come to regret it, too
I don't think it means what she thinks it means.
