She's always been a supporter of a hyper-war against the "Islamic enemy", whether by Anglo-Americans, or Israelis. Also, she's good buddies with Charles Johnson*… the bad one. *Charles F. Johnson is the proprietor of the Little Green Footballs blog. Our good friend Charles W. Johnson refers to him as, "a sociopathic warmongering blowhard" He is quite right.

I hate how the black bloc folks seem to think smashing stuff, except in self-defense, is at all conducive to anything. Just a nitpick. I don't think Pamela Geller is an Objectivist, from what I've read she's a conservative. I could be wrong though. I agree with you, Nick.

I am questioning the morality and wisdom of smashing bank windows -- something that news reports indicated was going on.

She did support the HUAC committee though. This poster doesn't seem to be taking into account the wider context of the police violence. The window smashing isn't the only violence going on at the convention. Am I the only one who thinks that smashing bank windows and dropping cement blocks on buses reeks of Hobbesian anarchy? I am attracted to left-libertarianism, because it involves delimiting the use of coercion. And the tactics used reek of collective punishment -- something that anarchists criticize the U.S. military for engaging in.
