If she was on a message board I would accuse her of trolling. Can she really be any more moronic?
Today, Geller triples down on her hate speech, calls Sandra Fluke a fraud and a pig and an embarrassment to decent young women, says she was planted by nefarious hidden forces (probably Obama himself), and then offers a freakishly bizarre analogy about Wal-Mart handbags vs. Hermes handbags to explain something.I have had it up to here with Flukes vagina. Seriously. Clearly shes a plant. I dont have to exalt or honor women who debase and lower themselves to meat status. I will not honor this pig. I will not teach children to debase themselves. I will not teach children that this is empowerment.
I explain it to young girls this way. Go into any Wal-Mart or Target. There are hundreds of black handbags for sale in bins, hung on display walls, all cheap or moderately priced, and they cant give them away.
Now go into Hermes. There is one black, gorgeous, impossible to get, crocodile Birkin bag. There are waiting lists for this bag. No one can get that bag. It costs a fortune and still everyone wants that bag.
Be that bag.

(39,961 posts)We win through being graceful when being attacked like Sandra Fluke, First Lady Michelle Obama and Hilary Clinton.
We don't back down, but we don't stoop to the level of acting like people like Rush Limbaugh. We rise above it.
In fact, all good men and women do that. We don't let the fact that there are people who choose to resort to gutter insults bring us down; we keep on doing the right thing.

(34,845 posts)It's not just a difference of opinion, it seems to be some kind of mental derangement, too.
That being said, I am more in favor of ignoring people like this rather than give them power over us by giving them the attention they crave.

(28,280 posts)The right wing expects and thrives upon the sort of play-by-the-rules, make-nice liberalism you're espousing---you're handing power to them on a silver platter. We were told to ignore the Tea Party not that long ago, and look how that turned out.....

I will do the right thing.

(8,994 posts)Their typical real-life weapons were similar to that of knights: swords and maces. And they didn't just carry them around for show. They went to war against the Saracin raiders who supposedly stole holy relics. They were no strangers to violence, whatsoever.
In this case, Paladin is right. Ignoring these loons never works. Just ask the Jewish survivors of the Holocaust about ignoring Hitler.

(30,252 posts)The Tea Party will never play nice no matter how much we do. Being nice is all good and speaks well of us, but a little vehemence isn't going to hurt our side, either.

paulk
(11,586 posts)she's doing what Rush did; ie - characterize Fluke's testimony as being about contraception to prevent pregnancy (by engaging in sex), when Fluke's testimony had to do with using contraception for a medical condition.
What Geller is doing is slander, imo, and she has no "right" to do that.

(29,676 posts)So, not only does she refer to a young woman as a "pig" and as "meat" but she also looks down on people of moderate means by referring to what is affordable to the average person as being "cheap".
Where to begin with this woman.

(4,876 posts)birth control shit, convened a panel with no women on it to discuss women's health matters. In the meantime the Democrats were fiendishly plotting in a back room how to find a woman they could "plant" because they just knew that Rush would go ballistic and call the woman a prostitute and a slut. It was deviously clever, knowing Rush would have a mental breakdown if they managed to get this woman to tell her story.

(82,849 posts)Another person entirely. Pam Geller is a single mother of four with a lifetime sinecure, who, should she ever be subject to the sort of "analysis" she doles out so freely for other people, might be characterized as a woman so shrill that harpies and fishwives would stop their ears to share the same planet with her.
But we're above such witless name-calling that provides such a handsome income for Ms. Geller.

(115,924 posts)was a big fan of hers. He went on his rampage because he thought Europe was being overrun by foreigners, mostly Muslims. He cites her with great approval in his wacko "manifesto."
If Anders Breivik is your fanboy, you've got big problems. And if anyone on earth is arguably worse than Rush Limbaugh, it's Pam Geller.

treestar
(82,383 posts)How does it benefit one's sex life to refuse to be involved in sex? And "that bag" wouldn't necessarily get the attention of all the men.
She's just wrong if she thinks straight men all deny themselves waiting to get the attention of women who don't do it.
