Pam Geller's Imaginary Friends Back Off Their Treason Allegation

May 04, 2011 10:07 am ET by Simon Maloy

In case you missed it yesterday, unhinged bigot Pam Geller allowed her
overriding hatred of President Obama to take her to new and scary places as she
reported that the military countermanded an order from Obama to abort the
mission to kill Osama bin Laden. She had, in effect, accused unspecified members
of the military of treason.

Geller sourced an anonymous conservative blogger who claims to be receiving
reports from a "D.C. insider." This "insider" apparently enjoys unfettered
access to the president and his advisors and knows intimate details of top
secret national security discussions -- so naturally he/she dishes to a F-list
right-winger who writes for a content farm no one has heard of. Anyway, the
story spun by the "insider" and reprinted by Geller was that the military staged
a "coup"(!) after the White House "scrambled to abort" the Bin Laden mission:

IMPORTANT SPECIFIC: When 48 hour go order issued, CoC was told, not
requested. Administration scrambled to abort. That order was overruled. This
order did not originate from CoC. Repeat - this order did not originate from
CoC. He complied, but did not originate.

Independent military contacts have confirmed. Stories corroborate one
another. This is legit.

The killing of Osama Bin Laden was in fact a Coup within Obama WH.

Geller's source later posted a "clarification" from his imaginary friend
"insider" trying to explain that he didn't actually accuse the military
leadership of a crime punishable by death. Geller posted the clarification in an
update to her original post, writing "more details here":

I was told - in these exact terms, "we overruled him." (Obama) I have
since followed up and received further details on exactly what that meant, as
well as the specifics of how Leon Panetta worked around the president's
"persistent hesitation to act." There appears NOT to have been an outright
overruling of any specific position by President Obama, simply because there was
no specific position from the president to do so. President Obama was, in this
case, as in all others, working as an absentee president.

Not that it really matters, since this is all the product of one frustrated
blogger's sad game of journalism make-believe, but the "clarification" is
actually a direct contradiction of the original allegation, which was that the
White House "scrambled" to issue an "order" to abort the mission.

But Geller's running with this, and so are some of her dimmer colleagues in
right-wing blogosphere, who admit that the story is probably a load of crap but
can't resist reprinting it because it fits the caricature of Obama they've
constructed.
