"Sinister, consipracy-mongering..."

From Eric Dondero:

In a move guaranteed to put liberals at further odds with the liberty movement, a top blog of the liberal elite, Salon.com, went on the attack this morning on libertarian favorite Pamela Geller. Their piece, "How the "ground zero mosque" fear mongering began." Though meant as a slam, they end up giving her full credit for launching the anti-Ground Zero Mosque movement.

A Salon review of the origins of the story found, the controversy was kicked up and driven by Pamela Geller, a right-wing, viciously anti-Muslim, conspiracy-mongering blogger, whose sinister portrayal of the project was embraced by Rupert Murdoch's New York Post.

Salon went on to call Geller's blog, which gets tens of thousands of visitors a day, a "third-tier right-wing blog" and accuses her of being part of a "professional anti-Islam industry." Ironically, Geller, who has already appeared on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News repeatedly over the last two weeks, could see her celebrity and credibility boosted even further. And now that she's been identified as the leader of the anti-GZ Mosque movement, if Mosque leaders eventually do back off, she'll be viewed as having won an historic victory.
