"An anti-Islam activist is threatening to sue the MTA if it doesn't approve her bus and subway advertisement calling Israel's enemies savages.

Pamela Geller submitted the proposed ad to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's media management company more than a week ago but still hasn't learned if it has been approved or rejected.

"I will sue," Geller said. "It's a free speech issue."

The strongly worded ad states, "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat jihad."

Geller, co-founder of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, said the message is meant to counter posters in 18 subway stations calling for the end of U.S. military aid to Israel. They were paid for by the Westchester-based WESPAC Foundation and began a one-month run earlier in September."

2. It is all an act done by a sick mind for money and fame

She knows she is adding gas to the fire and is inflaming anger on all sides. Kind of a Rush Limbaugh
meets Ann Coulter w/ that crazy Koran burning pastor thrown in.

4. Rome was civilized.

Arguably, Rome's war against Ancient Israel is what started the Israel/Palestine conflict.

5. Westboro Baptist taught her well.

Be as over the top offensive as you possibly can in order to enrage, then sue in order to fund your next asshole move.

Well done, Pamela Phelps! You learn quick!

they have the right to reject any ad

8. No wonder the opening of the 'Ground Zero Mosque' passed without protest!

Pammy and her Brownshirts were too distracted by this. Really, you'd think any bigoted extremist worth their salt would manage their time more effectively and be across all opportunities available to screech their hate...

9. MTA rejects proposed bus and subway ads calling the enemies of Israel 'savages'

<snip>

"The MTA has rejected a proposed bus and subway ad calling Israel's enemies "savages."

Anti-Muslim firebrand Pamela Geller earlier this month submitted the poster in response to ads in 18 stations urging the US end military support to Israel.

Geller's proposed advertisement states: "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat jihad."

CBS Outdoor, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's media management company, wrote Geller her proposed ad violates authority standards.

It's unacceptable because it "demeans an individual or group of individuals," a CBS executive wrote Geller."

10. Blogger to sue MTA for rejecting pro-Israel subway ads

<snip>

"Conservative blogger Pamela Geller plans to sue the MTA Tuesday for rejecting her subway ad slamming Israel’s enemies.

The ad, which would have cost her $36,000, states, "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat jihad."

Geller said the MTA took issue with the word “savage,” a stance she said “defies logic,” and is “in violation of the Constitution.”
