Most of you should be familiar with Pam Geller, the lunatic anti-Muslim hatemonger who's revered in the Islamaphobe section of American conservatism,
and who apparently makes a good living selling hatred of Islam.
Well, things didn't go that well for her this weekend, as is told better than I could at slate.com:
Christian Terrorism
If Muslims are responsible for Islamic terrorism, are Muslim-bashers responsible for the massacre in Norway?

On Friday, anti-Islamist blogger Pamela Geller pounced on news of a massacre in Oslo. "Jihad in Norway?" she asked. She posted a second item"You cannot avoid the consequences of ignoring jihad"and linked to a previous one: "Norway: ALL Rapes in Past 5 Years Committed by Muslims."
As the Oslo body count grew, she piled on: "if I hear another television or radio reporter refer to muhammad as 'the Prophet Muhammad,' I think I am going to puke. He's not your prophet, assclowns."
Then things went horribly wrong. It turned out that the suspected terrorist in Norway wasn't a Muslim. He hated Muslims. And he admired Geller.

I guess, occasionally, peddling bigotry and inciting hate can be a bumpy ride.
Somebody keep count of how many USMB 'wingers drop in to condemn Geller for politicizing the tragedy as it was happening.
