Nutjob Pam Geller designated a 'hate group'
from the NY Daily News:



Manhattan blogger Pamela Geller and her posse of anti-Islamic protesters have been branded a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Stop the Islamization of America was included in the civil rights organization's annual roundup of extremist groups - a rogue's gallery that includes everything from the Ku Klux Klan to white supremacists and Nazis.

Geller's group was one of the most vocal opponents of the proposed Islamic Center near Ground Zero.

The group was also behind ads that were placed on city buses urging Muslims to leave "the falsity of Islam." ........(more)

1. And rightly so.
SPLC is on my list of groups that will get donations if I come into a large sum of money.

3. HuffPo: Pamela Geller's Anti-Islam Org Labelled A 'Hate Group'
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/25/pamela-gellers-antiislam-_n_828464.html

Manhattan blogger Pamela Geller, the fiery and offensive Atlas Shrugs blogger who organizes vehemently anti-Islamic protests, is not just a far right-winger, but is actually now part of a 'hate group'.

That's coming from the Southern Poverty Law Center, who classified Geller's organization, Stop the Islamization of America, in the same class as the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacists.

Atlas Shrugs has posted such stories as the one where Geller said Obama was actually the son of Malcolm X, while others are devoutly anti-union, anti-left and anti-Islam. She calls the organizers of Park51 "bloodsuckers" and whenever a Mosque goes up in the city, it is spun into a paranoid conspiracy theory.

In May, Geller purchased bus ads urging moderate Muslims to leave their faith. The ads read "Leaving Islam? Fatwa on your head? Is your family threatening you?" Recently Geller made headlines with her fight against Park51, the proposed Islamic center near ground zero, and went so far as to create weird posters that somehow meshed Wal-Mart in with Islam.
