The left was out in full force at our Trump LGBT event at the RNC. Hoping to cast the event in an ugly light in order to cover for their unforgivable defense of jihad and sharia (codified Islamic law that mandates that gays be hanged from cranes and thrown off buildings). Leftists did not disappoint in their vicious, disgusting smear of a breakthrough event.
My favorite was James Kirchik of the Daily Beast, who insisted he was fair and open-minded. The title of his piece?
Racists, Idiots Sociopaths Get Down at the RNC's Big Gay Party
“You gotta love Trump!” the shrieking harridan shouted, “because he gives them all the middle finger!”
That is considered fair and objective on the left.
There enemedia was obsessed with my fabulous top.
The Washington Post:
Europe is “a living hell of fear and violence,” said Wilders, a leader of the far right, adding that “we are at war” with Islam. Activist Pamela Geller followed; clad in a rainbow-colored blouse with “Love Will Win” scrawled across it, she compared political correctness to sharia law and said the greatest threat to the gay community is Islam.
Right-wing commentator Pamela Geller, wearing a rainbow-bedazzled shirt, opened the after-party with a joke: “So, a jihadi walks into a gay bar.”
And my fashion stalker Rosie Gray over at Buzzfeed (we crossed swords before, remember?) said nothing about me in the article (despite the long interview I did with her), but ran this pic below:
MSN: Gay Republicans for Trump confront 'most anti-LGBT platform' ever
And following Tuesday's roll call vote to nominate Donald Trump, self-described “gays for Trump” hosted a DJ night, boasting on the invite that “gays throw the best convention parties.” Right-wing commentator Pamela Geller, wearing a rainbow-bedazzled shirt, opened the after-party with a joke….
You get the gist. No substance, just malicious silliness.
We already knew that the Democrats and the left are against free speech - remember Hillary and the scapegoating of the Muhammad video producer. She knew it was jihad, but she indicted the First Amendment.
And then there was Salon.
“Far-right.” “Anti-Muslim.” “Far-right.” “Anti-Muslim.” Salon's hopeless Ben Norton, sputtering with rage and hate against gays who depart from left's reservation and human rights activists who dare to oppose Sharia oppression of gays, has run out of words with which to tar us, and so, like a stoned parrot, keeps repeating the same smear terms again and again: “far-right.” “Anti-Muslim.” That's what, in his mind, makes Wilders and Milo and me into demons to be shunned by all good people, but what, really, is their substance? We want freedom of speech, individual rights, equality of rights for all. We recognize what Norton denies: that those freedoms are threatened by elements of Islam itself, not just by a “minority” of “extremists.”
Does that make us “far-right”? Only in the minds of those who want to defame us by comparing us to Nazis, as Norton does when he says: “The rhetoric was strikingly reminiscent of the extreme anti-Semitism of the early 20th century, yet directed at Muslims instead of Jews. All of the speakers explicitly condemned Islam itself, not just Islamic extremism.” What Norton doesn't mention is that Jews in the early 20th century (or any other time) weren't mounting terror attacks and boasting of imminent conquest of the West. They were just going about their business, and were scapegoated and massacred wholesale. To conflate that scapegoating with wanting to defend America against jihad terror attacks is simply monstrous.
“Inside Milo's “gays for Trump,” virulently anti-Islam party at the RNC,” by Ben Norton, Salon, July 20, 2016:
The most far-right party at the 2016 Republican National Convention may have also been the most pro-LGBT.
Breitbart provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos held a “gays for Trump” party late Tuesday night in Cleveland.
He was joined by far-right anti-Muslim leaders Pamela Geller and Geert Wilders. All three gave adoringly pro-Trump speeches full of anti-Muslim vitriol.
The rhetoric was strikingly reminiscent of the extreme anti-Semitism of the early 20th century, yet directed at Muslims instead of Jews. All of the speakers explicitly condemned Islam itself, not just Islamic extremism….
Milo mentioned his Catholicism, and Geller openly argued that Christianity and Judaism are better religions than Islam, insisting Islamic law subjugates non-Muslims while Canon and Jewish law do not repress those of other faiths….
That's true. Norton doesn't rebut it. Nor can he. He just throws it out as more meat for his leftist hate audience.
Pamela Geller, a leading figure in the anti-Muslim hate movement in the U.S., was next to speak.
To call defense of the freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, equality of rights for all under the law, and individual rights “anti-Muslim hate” reveals more about Norton than about me. He is revealing that he thinks opposing jihad terror and Islamic misogyny and Jew-hatred is “anti-Muslim.” But aren't those who perpetrate such things just a tiny minority of extremists who have nothing to do with Islam, according to the left? Norton contradicts his own narrative.
“Pamela has been fighting against the jihad for several years,” LGBT for Trump founder Chris Barron said as he introduced her.
In May 2015, Geller and Wilders were attacked by Islamic extremists at a “Draw Mohammad” event in Garland, Texas. Geller said the “Wake Up!” RNC party was her first public speaking engagement since the attack in Garland.
Geller opened her speech with a joke: “A jihadi walks into a gay bar,” she began, to laughs from the audience. What does he order? “Shots for everyone,” she said.
The room erupted in laughter. Geller replied, “It's not funny because it's true.”
She said she supports Trump, LGBT rights and “freedom,” proudly calling the Republican Party “the party against jihad.”
Geller - who supports a presidential candidate who wants to deport 11 million people and ban refugees from particular racial and ethnic groups - went on to accuse the left of becoming “increasingly authoritarian.”
Defending the US is not authoritarian. No one has a natural right to enter the US and live in it illegally. Americans have a right to defend themselves.
“You've got to love Trump, 'cause he gives them all the middle finger,” she said simultaneously. “His ban on Muslims from jihad nations is logical, rational and reasonable.”
Geller criticized more mainstream right-wing pundits like Bill Kristol. People in the audience shouted “cuckservative” (a popular insult in the alt-right) and “traitors!”
At one point, she stopped her speech to join the audience in a “Trump! Trump!” chant.
Like Wilders, Geller claimed “Muslim gangs” are raping young girls and threatening LGBT people in the U.S.
“Geller claimed“? Norton should check out the Twin, Falls, Idaho Muslim migrant rape case, and the Orlando jihad massacre, if he doesn't believe such things are happening.
The GOP supports “equality for all,” she claimed, ensuring “no special treatment for special classes.”
“Islamophobia,” Geller maintained, “doesn't exist; it's a myth.”
The left, she added, is embracing Islamism. “It's not PC; it's Sharia,” Geller said….
