Someone’s got it in for me, they’re planting stories in the press
Another day, another lie. “Dogs, Donkeys and Women, Oh My!,” by Eli Clifton at Antiwar.com, September 20:
A newly created group dedicated to fighting the “Islamization of America” will be walking the streets of Washington DC on September 25th engaging passers-by in a “dialogue” about Islam in America.
The group, Stop Islamization of America (SIOA), stands out for its extensive ties to far-right bloggers in the US and Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy. It also has links to the European Far Right and Nazi apologists.
The choice of September 25 as the launch date is designed to coincide with “Jumah Prayer on Capitol Hill: A Day of Islamic Unity,” a gathering of Muslims on the National Mall….
The new group’s September 25 launch will include a number of high-profile guests, including Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller and Christine Brim….
Arutz Sheva called attention to SIOA’s “brainstorming” blog posts that suggested that donkeys, dogs and women should be brought to the group’s launch in order to interfere with the Jumah Prayer event on the Mall.
In reality, I am not speaking at this event. I am not going to be present at this event. (Neither are Pamela Geller or Christine Brim.) I have no ties of any kind to the SIOA group. And I have no interest in interfering with Muslim prayer on the Mall or anywhere else; nor do I approve of anyone else doing such a thing. And I never at any time had any plans to do this. I was indeed invited to speak, but declined when I heard about this prayer interference business, and that was many days ago — many days before this report was filed at Antiwar.com.
But what does the truth matter to the righteous folks at Antiwar.com? The rest of their article repeats the old neo-Nazi smears and lies that libelblogger Charles Johnson has spread so assiduously over the last year — which indicates the level of Antiwar.com’s commitment to accuracy.
