Geller responds:
As expected, the New York Times did an extraordinarily nasty and fallacious piece on me. It is full of distortions, inaccuracies and lies from beginning to end.
Referring to me using terms like "socialite," "dilettante," and other words invoking silly, superficial, purposeless women, is downright farcical. Show me a socialite who is fighting for American values 20 hours a day. I don't even have lunch, let alone gala charity events. The only thing worthwhile in this piece is the actual interview, which is, frankly, all that really matters. But let's have a cursory look at this piece, shall we? . . .
Geller proceeds to dissect the NY Times piece on her. To the credit of the NY Times, they also published their interview, "Pamela Geller in her own words." To anyone new to the world of Geller, reading the interview would be a good place to start. Her blog is Atlas Shrugs.
